10/10 experience! I hope everyone comes here. The tea experience was wonderful and the pricing was very good. It’s so nice to have a vegan afternoon tea (some of the times have a none vegan option as well). The lemon and ginger scone with vegan cream was my favorite.
The staff is so knowledgeable. Thank you to Wendy for sharing all of her knowledge about the different teas we were considering. Will definitely return sometime to do the tea tasting.
Also, I saw signs for community events which is very cool.

Cozy tea house with absolutely delicious food and tea. We love to have afternoon tea here after a visit to the Huntington Library. Best of all, they have vegan options. The tea service is delicious, from the toasts to the scones and of course, the tea. The Red Queen (black tea) is one of the best black teas I’ve ever tasted. The staff is pleasant and helpful. Such a treat to spend an hour here after walking the gardens and museums of the library. Can’t recommend Callisto enough!

My book club met here for our January meeting. Parking was a breeze, for context we had arrived around noon on a Sunday. Their tea menu has beautiful descriptions that helped us choose the perfect teas that aligned with our book’s themes.
We had a larger group and the owners were a delight to work with to make the reservation to accommodate us and schedule a tea tasting. We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed the delicious teas.

I love the tea! I love the vegan treats!!!! I’d give more stars if I could. There’s also a leave one take one library inside for books. The staff are lovely. Highly recommend.

I wanted to pick up some loose leaf tea and stumbled upon this gem, ended up staying to sit and enjoy a pot of oolong tea and read a while. Staff was friendly, helpful and the atmosphere was very mellow and cozy, lots of people reading, chatting, writing. What a treat! Will be back 🙂

I requested a reservation on the website to celebrate my friend’s belated birthday and quickly received a response back. The staff was so helpful guiding us through our first visit, offering thoughts and suggestions about each tea and afternoon tea time options. Everything came out beautifully that I had to slowly eat/drink each item to really savor it. I’m so grateful they reserved the window seat for us because the daylight was beautiful and perfect for tea.
The teas, spreads, and tea equipment make excellent gifts. The Red Queen tea made a great impression on my friend. I made sure to buy her at least one flavor before we left. We also sampled the black sesame spread they sold at the front counter. Absolutely DELICIOUS.
We’ll be coming back for another girls’ day. 🙂

We recently visited Callisto Tea House in Pasadena for afternoon tea, and it was an unforgettable experience! The ambiance was calm and inviting, and we were immediately welcomed by the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff. They guided us through the different teas with genuine enthusiasm, making it easy to find something we loved.
The afternoon tea service was impeccable, with a beautifully arranged selection of the most delicious sweet and savory treats that complemented the tea perfectly. We also opted for the Gong Fu tea experience, which was a real highlight. Watching the traditional Chinese tea ceremony was mesmerizing, and it added such a special, immersive touch to our visit. The care and attention to detail in every pour and sip were remarkable.
Callisto Tea House offers more than just a meal-it’s a complete, enriching experience. I highly recommend it to anyone in Pasadena looking to relax, enjoy quality tea, and learn more about tea culture!

What a joy! We came here for afternoon tea (we wanted to try something new and had never had a tea and pastries afternoon tea before!) and had a fantastic time. The tea was delicious as were the accompanying toasts and pastries. They also had gluten free options which was great for someone in my group that has several dietary restrictions. The tea cups and plates were also so adorable. Also the afternoon tea was super reasonably priced! Would definitely recommend for a nice, peaceful, leisurely tea!

Came here for Mother’s Day and it was wonderful! I really appreciated how much thought was put into the whole experience. The owner was SO kind and knowledgeable, she took the time to go through all of the teas we were curious about and recommended several. My mom had a great time and we’re definitely planning on coming back ❤️

Callisto Tea House has been a favorite of mine for at least a year, yet I haven’t shared until now. I’ve been selfish, trying to keep the place my little secret. But that’s not fair. Callisto deserves the praise and to reap the accolades of embodying exactly what a teahouse should be.
Any place can sell a decent cup of tea, or have a clever interior with relatable artwork, but the true spirit of tea is in the experience. A teahouse should be welcoming, offering hospitality with an unassuming and gentle aesthetic. A place for a kind conversation, and for thoughtfulness. That is a teahouse, and that is exactly what Callisto offers. Each time I walk through the door, I can feel tension leave my shoulders. Sometimes I stop by for a quick visit, sometimes I linger for hours, but long stay or short, I enjoy every minute.
The tea is top notch, and expertly prepared. The crew knows how to represent each variety to guide you towards exactly what you’re looking for. I’m partial to hot tea, but Callisto brings an excellent iced tea preparation and cold brews that stand tall on 100-degree days. The tea list is updated periodically, as it should be, as certain options are seasonal. And if you’re looking to bring a piece home with you, they have loose leaf and teaware for sale.
There is an assortment of light bites that pair seamlessly with the tea. I love the scones, generally savory. And they have mini toasts with toppings ranged from local marmalades, roasted red pepper spread with walnut, cucumber with herbed cashew cream cheese, and more. Plus a few baked goods appropriate for those who like something a bit sweet. The scones, the sourdough for the toasts, the cookies, it’s all baked in house, and it’s all delicious.
Callisto is always a little busy without being too busy. It’s a place to read, catch up with a pal, or get some work done. It’s the little things that take this shop to the next level, and I think they get that. I’m a fan of how they always ask if I would like to choose my own teacup from their collection. I generally ask them to surprise me. And when they bring me a particular cup because it’s their favorite and they want to tell me about it, I can see the chat as the genuine gesture of connection that it is.
If you need a cup of tea, yes. If you want to learn about tea, yes. If you’re a tea veteran and have been looking for a local place to kick back and recharge, yes. I’ve chatted with the owners and they are lovely people, you can tell that this teahouse is a work of passion for them. And that positivity really shines through in their work and the establishment as a whole. I’ve had a handful of favorite teahouses over the years, but it had been a while. I am very lucky to have Callisto in the neighborhood.
