On a short weekend school visit to Gainesville I was supremely excited to find this local teahouse that offered Gongfu tea serving. We tried a yummy GABA oolong and they offered us a vanilla bean dream shu puerh also which was absolutely divine. The backyard for sitting offered a perfect and peaceful spot for my mom’s first gongfu! Thanks y’all!

This place is such a magical zen. I live an hour away but love coming here at least 1 a month. The place is so beautiful, cozy, great vibe; the menu has the most delicious herbal infusions. The owners and staff super friendly and courteous.

Incredible atmosphere. Truly love what the owners Brooke and Caleb have created here. They even let our (well trained) dog hangout inside! Extremely friendly with a beautiful, thoughtfully curated space.

My favorite tea house EVER. I’m never let down with whatever drink I choose here, they’re all amazing and made with love. Everyone that works here is absolutely incredible and so very knowledgeable about what they’re serving!

There’s truly no place like HOWL. This tea and beverage shop feels less like a café and more like a spiritual oasis—an artistic, zen-filled sanctuary. Think chill, earthy vibes mixed with the artsy, whimsical feel of Meow Wolf. It’s cozy, welcoming, and super unique. Whether you’re there to sip tea, reflect, or simply exist in a beautifully curated space, HOWL is a vibe all its own.

What an absolute gem! This is a super cozy and artsy community space with a cafe and shop (crystals, books, jewelry, etc). The space is uniquely appointed with tons of creative touches; there are so many interesting things to look at and be inspired by. The building is apparently over 100 years old, but has been recently updated in a lot of ways. I want to come back for their special events, and to have tea in each of their many adorable seating nook options! Plus, the folks who run the place are so sweet and great people. Howl definitely gathers likeminded humans. ✨
Update in March 2026: This place has really blossomed! Gorgeous decor, cute conversation nooks, delicious nut milk made in-house, and dog-friendly!

This is my favorite place in Gainesville. I have only tried their magic moca because it is delicious and has the most perfect blend of mushrooms for the soul. I recommend coming here, gettinf a drink, finding a book from the 6392826 books they have and spend some time reading and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere
