Loose-leaf tea & seasonal kitchen
Verbena is a neighbourhood tea house where slow mornings, honest food, and a perfectly brewed pot are always in season. Pull up a chair — you're home.
Our Story
Verbena began in 2016 with a single shelf of teas and a stubborn belief that the best conversations happen over a warm cup. Today our corner room seats forty, but the spirit is the same: unhurried, generous, and a touch old-fashioned.
We hand-blend our own loose-leaf teas, bake every morning, and cook a small seasonal menu from produce grown by farmers we know by name.
Whole-leaf teas blended fresh in our back room.
Scones, cakes, and pastries from our own oven.
Tea Collection
Every pot is brewed to order and refilled freely. House blends marked with a leaf.
Our namesake — lemon verbena, chamomile & a whisper of honeybush. Calming and bright.
Classic bergamot black tea with a gentle lapsang smokiness. Bold and comforting.
Hand-rolled green tea scented with night-blooming jasmine. Floral and delicate.
Assam steeped with cardamom, ginger & cinnamon, frothed with warm oat milk.
Caffeine-free red bush with Madagascan vanilla. Smooth, naturally sweet, cosy.
Fresh-cut peppermint and spearmint. Clean, reviving, and good for the soul.
Chef's Specials
Our chef Mariam writes a fresh sheet every Monday, built around whatever's best at the market. Here's what's pouring and plating right now.
Reviews
"The coziest corner in town. The Golden Verbena pot and a warm scone is my Sunday ritual now."
"Service is genuinely kind, the chai is the best I've had outside my grandmother's kitchen. Five stars."
"A proper tea house at last. The jasmine pearls unfurl in the pot — it's a little bit of theatre with every cup."
Reservations
Walk-ins are always welcome, but a quick booking guarantees your table — especially for weekend brunch and our afternoon tea service.
