TeaHaus has been one of my absolute favorite Ann Arbor spots since I moved here 12+ years ago. Admittedly, I was a bit heartbroken when they changed a few of their dining options up during the pandemic and subsequent expansion (what would I do without my English Quickie??) but I have to say the changes have been for the best and what was once an already special place is even more amazing.
First off, with the expansion they've added more seating and renovated it to a cozier place. They still have all my favorite baked goods (scones, macarons, etc) but they've added even more options including cakes, savory bakes, etc. And they have a bar! Yes, they have a nice menu of unique, tea based cocktails, as well as mocktails. And of course, the tea is still just as amazing as it's always been. The wall is full of options and, like before, it's just as hard to choose.
Most recently I came on a Friday night to pick up a gift card and it filled me with such joy. They have a no-wifi/device policy during certain times and I have to say, seeing a packed house of people playing games, working on puzzles, sipping tea and cocktails, and just enjoying time socializing and TOGETHER was a soothing balm during a frigid January night. I walked out with my gift card for my cousin plus a duo of scones for breakfast the next day, some petit fours for a lil' sweet treat that evening, and a delicious spiced apple tea to go. I'm already excited for the opportunity to visit with some friends of family some upcoming evening and enjoying a warm cup and some warm company.
Oh, and though I can't get my beloved English Quickie on the regular anymore, I can still join them for high tea the last weekend of every month to get my fix of finger sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats.
