Sophie's Cuppa Tea

We currently carry more than 400 Chinese premium teas. We serve cups of tea and sell tea leaves and class education on teas via Zoom on Saturday mornings. We do host events for special occasions. Customers in the community can sign up for selected Wednesday afternoon community tea time.

Some years we also take groups to China to explore tea and meet farmers and get a hands on experience related to tea.

Located at 2078 Antioch Ct, Oakland, CA 94611, Sophie's Cuppa Tea operates as a tea house serving Oakland in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Tea in the United States covers everything from a traditional Chinese or Japanese tea house to a Southern sweet-tea counter, and the fastest-growing segment is bubble tea: Taiwanese-style milk teas and fruit teas with tapioca pearls, sold by chains and independents alike with adjustable sugar and ice levels. Tea rooms serving afternoon tea with scones and sandwiches usually require a reservation, while boba shops, juice bars and smoothie shops are walk-in and quick. Kava and kombucha bars are a newer category, and loose-leaf tea stores sell blends, teaware and gifts, often with a tasting counter. Prices for a drink run similar to coffee-shop prices, with premium teas and cold-pressed juices at the high end.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 9 am–1 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Sophie's Cuppa Tea at (510) 500-3404; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Getting around Oakland is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.
