Comins Tea House - North Dorset

More than just a leading Tea House, Comins Sturminster Newton is a very coeliac friendly café. Full 5* review at CoeliacwellNES.com. They have soft doughy GF gyoza, gluten free sweet treats and obviously phenomenal tea. A lovely place to watch all the comins and goings, will try out the Bath branch soon!

This tea house, run by a wonderful family, is truly exceptional. The owners have a deep knowledge and passion for tea, which is evident in the way they operate the establishment. I have been here several times and make it a point to try a different tea each visit. I have yet to come across a tea that I did not enjoy. This place is simply fantastic.

Awesome to find a real tea house in Sturminster Newton serving a good selection of tea from the Far East and India. Michelle will guide you through their personally sourced teas. For the uninitiated like us, it is just fun working our way through the list. Lovely atmosphere where friendly patrons chat with each other effortlessly. Always look forward to going for a slow tea experience, to unwind and to chat. They serve dumplings as well as cakes. Dog friendly too. What's not to like?

During our journey to Devon, we took a detour to visit the Sturminster tea room after enjoying our experience at the Bath tea room. It was definitely worth it. Michelle greeted us warmly, we savored delicious gyoza and refreshing tea, and enjoyed a serene time in the garden. The experience was so delightful that we decided to stop by again on our way back, and once again, it was fantastic.

Wow! What a place, exceeded my expectations. We went for my birthday treat as a family and I expected a bog standard afternoon tea with a bit of tea tasting thrown in. How wrong could I be! Imagine high class wine tasting, only with tea and fabulously different afternoon tea. Cakes and open sandwiches specifically picked to compliment the tea, food inspired by the owners' travels around the world. Michelle expertly guided us through the tea menu, helping us choose and try teas we would never have tried ourselves. We tasted 7 teas in the hour and three quarters we stayed. It was absolutely wonderful! Thank you Michelle, so much.
