I stopped by Tea at 1024 while exploring Chinatown in Honolulu, and it turned out to be one of the more relaxing spots in the area if you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy tea.
The café has a calm and cozy atmosphere that feels very different from the busy streets outside. The space is thoughtfully arranged with comfortable seating and a simple, welcoming design that encourages people to slow down and spend time enjoying their drink.
The menu focuses on a variety of teas that are served with attention to presentation. Watching the tea being prepared and poured adds to the experience, and the flavors feel carefully balanced rather than rushed like many quick-service cafés.
What stood out to me most was the pace of the environment. It feels like a place meant for conversation, reading, or simply taking a break from the day. Chinatown has many energetic restaurants and bars, so finding a quiet tea shop like this feels refreshing.
Service during my visit was friendly and attentive, and the staff were happy to explain different tea options for anyone unfamiliar with them.
Overall, Tea at 1024 is a great place to relax with a good cup of tea while exploring Honolulu’s Chinatown neighborhood. If you enjoy tea culture or just want a calm café experience, it is definitely worth stopping by.

Appointments are a must here since the tea shop has limited seating. When you arrive, they ask you to pick out your own teacup from a wall of choices, which is a fun start! I went with a mug that had a bit of whimsy and magic to it.
The service was both attentive and super friendly. Our server even provided a tea timer, so we knew exactly when our tea was done steeping. We were there during a book club meeting, so there was plenty of lively chatter. The ladies were so friendly they even invited us to join their book club! We weren’t local, so we declined, but it was a truly welcoming atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the tea service.
Every single thing we ate was delicious, and we loved the seasonal teas they recommended. I’d absolutely return if I’m ever in the area again! Highly recommend this place for afternoon tea!

Never been to a tea party before but this experience made me want to go again! We went for my sister’s bridal shower, and they accommodate those unable to consume Gluten. I had my own Gluten-Free platter separate from the rest of the party, but all the flavors were the same. I felt included, unlike other places we eat out. Can’t wait to bring my daughter again.

Ordered pickup to enjoy with my kids and parents. We’ve gone in-person three times in past years and enjoyed dressing up, but now I have a toddler. Order wasn’t quite ready when I arrived, but she had tried to call me to let me know – I don’t answer my phone when driving. She brought the order to my vehicle because I had parked in a loading zone – very nice of her to do that. Sandwiches, shrimp with sauce, scones with cream and jelly, and desserts were all packaged carefully. Bag of tea per order, and nice flavors for us. Food flavors were generally mild, but I should have known from the descriptions that the seasonal desserts were more for my mom and me. I had ordered extra desserts but ended up eating most myself. That’s still a win! Will check for the next menu for pickup, maybe for a small party with Aunties and cousins – easier to serve at home for anyone with mobility issues and my little one running around. Wish I took photos because everything was so pretty.

If I could give 6 stars I would! We really enjoyed our experience at Tea at 1024. I had a large party reservation for a bridal shower and it was very easy to set up. The communication was great! Inside the tea house is soooo adorable. You pick your own little teacup and the tea selection is very broad. I thought it was a very good value as well. Customer service was great, food was tasty! My crew especially loved the cucumber sandwiches and tiramisu. Thank you for a terrific experience.

What a cute spot for afternoon tea! We made a reservation in advance which required us to pay for the service in advance, and it wasn’t too bad for each person (almost $40 each). Each person gets to choose their own tea, and we did the classic afternoon tea. Each sandwich and treat tasted really good, and we thoroughly enjoyed the session. Although the service can be a little slow, there were large parties there on a Sunday and the staff were doing their best and very nice too. Overall, I’d recommend coming here for a fun thing to try!

My first pot of tea was barely lukewarm. The flavor was good otherwise. The food was tasty and the service was good. Definitely a cute little spot to try out. They can accommodate food restrictions for an upcharge. Update: I went a second time and the services was just as good. The lemon ginger tea was amazing. Definitely a good selection of sandwiches and desserts for the price.
