Recommended by a waitress from another Adelaide restaurant, just flew in from Perth even though the place was busy the staff took time to go through the menu and help me decide on a few plates.
The Tarro rolls were great as was all the dishes, we had a black bean rice dish and a noodle soup, all were delish.Service was very quick and with a smile.
We will return, absolute superb value
Such an awesome place! Felt so welcome & staff are so helpful & nice. Everything was really yum. Highly recommend
I was an early customer 15 years ago when they were a tiny shop. Now big with two levels. Revisited this week and it's still so good for vegetarian food and Taiwanese bubble and leaf tea
It's also a vegetarian place that meat eaters like ... Get "sweet and sour thing" (like fish) or BBQ rice (so similar to BBQ pork that some vegetarians worry that it is meat).
Love the food! First time Iāve been and the food was delicious. I had the old style soup and noodles and the soup was full of flavour. There were a few other things on the menu that I wanted to try so Iāll definitely be back!
Food and drinks are always excellent. Been coming back over 5 years now. Itās still one of my favourite vegetarian places which I canāt miss. Location is very convenient in the city as well. Highly recommended!
This place is a must try if you prefer vegetarian or vegan food in Adelaide. We had the most authentic Korean vegetarian food in this restaurant and the food really tastes good here. The service is extremely warm and friendly and personally liked the way we were welcomed by Chang! Kudos to you guys!
Chang also makes the most amazing coffee out there. Very consistent with the taste and quality.

this place changed my understanding of eating vegan food. this place has a range of Asia dishes to offer and they also have a specials every day . Their Buble tea is to die for .. have been here lot of time and the service and the food is steller
This place is amazing! The bbq gluten meal is my go to. Never disappoints. Only issue is timing they bring out the items at all the wrong time. Like see the steamed buns come before your meal. Isnt a big deal but they go cold. Best vegan place for sure. I visit many times per year.
Thea Vegetarian Tea Garden is one of my favourite places to eat in the Adelaide CBD. The staff are always friendly and efficient with their service and the restaurants atmosphere is relaxing, warm and cozy. I've tried a large amount of the menu and the food is consistently delicious, they have a great variety of hot & cold teas and they even offer my favourite flavour which isn't available at many places (lavender) and everything is fairly priced! Really can't fault this place :)
The service is excellent and it has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The menu is small, but full of tasty dishes. They also don't make you wait too long. Bring your vegetarian/vegan friends and try the basil nuggets and mushroom buns!
I think most foodies in Adelaide have a bit of a soft spot for Thea's charmingly quirky, peaceful little vegetarian oasis.
Enough has been said here about the cold noodles, the cloud-like buns and the other delights on the menu.
But the big news is that they have installed a coffee bar. Just a windows on Gawler Place with a coffee machine, good coffee. Fleurieu milk and the nicest, kindest, sweetest barrista to ever steam a jug of milk.
He'll help you choose the size of your coffee, how strong you want it, how hot you want it and all with a smile and a friendly greeting.
If more coffee houses had more barristas like this we'd all be better off!
Love this place. I always get the spicy cold noodles as they are amazing! Great vegan options. Definitely recommend for lunch if you're in the city
Great customer service - the staff are super friendly! The only downside is that pretty much everything is deep fried, but this seems to be a common theme in many vegan/vegetarian dishes based on my experiences.
I ordered the Vegetarian BBQ Rice - I like that we are given the choice of salad or rice. I was happy with the salad and vegetables but the imitation BBQ pork was drenched in oil so I didn't want to eat it. Also ordered the iced mango tea but didn't expect it to be so sweet. The pricing of food is fair. The portions are quite large - the dish I ordered could have fed 2 people.
The little shop downstairs was really cool! There was a great collection of teas and tea sets, as well as a wide range of vegan/vegetarian snacks and ingredients. I would come again, but only just to buy tea leaves or something.
I loved the nuggets but the prawns were too spicy for me. What I loved the most was the super grocery with soooo many things to cook at home. Definitely will come back to get my supplies š
Thea tea shop is my absolute go to in the city, for yummy, wholesome vegan food. I have never had a bad meal here and always leave feeling full but light. The atmosphere is very peaceful as well. My favourite dishes are the crispy vegan Hainan, sweet and sour thing, Thea cold noodles and passionate fruit tea :)
Wow this is some of the most amazing food I have ever eaten š¤Æ. Iāve been working my way through the menu over the last month and still have a long way to go! Also they prepare it quickly, itās affordable and it doesnāt contain any onion or garlic (which many people with fructan intolerance will appreciate). New favourite restaurant!
Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy food. My favourite meal is ātheaās marinated riceā. You have the option with rice or with salad. I get it with rice. Then, and this is the secret, ask for peanut sauce, and then pour that over the top. Soooo good AND healthy!
super super tasty i have literally gone here so many times and the food is so good it literally tastes so good. Its sad tho bc sometimes they run out of the boba pearls so u cant put it in your drink but over all i literally love this place.

My favourite restaurant šš„°
I hope they never ever stop making all this amazing food. I just moved back from living in NYC for a decade and it was the first place I went to (as it was every time I ever came back home for holidays).
THE. BEST.
I was surprised with this set up, beyond the front takeaway coffee stand is a ambient eatery. They offer an Asian vegetarian / vegan ONLY Menu. As a meat lover, I am amazed at how flavoursome the (non meat) dishes are here. One of the best quality vegetarian places in Adelaide.
The drinks selection has a wonderful selection of specialty teas to try.
The staff are so polite here.
