Indigo Tea Lounge

530 E Benson Blvd, Anchorage, AK

★★★★4.3(236 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Nestled in Anchorage, this tea lounge specializes in thoughtfully curated tea experiences with an impressive range of traditional and creative brews, from matcha to Chinese specialty selections, paired with house-made pastries and savory bites. While service can be leisurely (which fits the slow-sit philosophy), guests rave about the cozy yet open atmosphere and the care that goes into seasonal offerings like their Chinese New Year tea service, making it an ideal spot for celebrations or quiet afternoons with friends. The afternoon tea service is their signature experience, though expect to budget accordingly and arrive with patience for a genuinely memorable, if unhurried, ritual.

Overall a nice experience. I didn’t give a 5 star review because I felt that for $45.00 per person the eggs salad sandwich the bread was dry. There could have been more sandwiches and less dessert.

We had a bridal tea here this past weekend and it was wonderful! So many fun flavor choices of tea, but the goodies are awesome!! Nice area for individuals or a small group. I never knew about this place. Go there, you won’t be sorry!

Got the afternoon tea service at 1pm on a Sunday for two people, which was $90. It took almost an hour just to get our tea- no one came to take our order until about 1:40, then another 15-20 minutes until the tea came out. It was another 10 minutes for the pastries/food to arrive, and no one came back after the initial drop off. They were accommodating with a vegetarian request, which was nice! My own personal opinion was just that the desserts were very very sweet, did not taste different from each other, and didn’t have much flavor. The savory options were good! We also did not get any utensils (like a spoon) for our tea or the trifle that came on the tray. I was hoping for more of an English teatime experience, and this was more of an Asian fusion. My fault for not recognizing this before reserving, and I’m sure some people would enjoy it! I probably will not come back for the tea service, but definitely would love to try their boba.

We had such a fun time at Indigo! All the food was made there and was all delicious. The atmosphere was open, but still felt cozy in our corner table. The tea choices were perfect - not too many, so it didn’t feel overwhelming if you’re new to tea, but had plenty of options if you’re a connoisseur. I will definitely go again and again when I’m visiting Anchorage! Our server Quinn was helpful and super nice. I would recommend everyone try it out for a different and fun experience!

Had an absolute magical experience at the Indigo Tea lounge with my girlfriends. They had their Chinese New Year special happening this weekend. We got to choose from a list of Chinese teas then each person received a tower of food to sample that symbolized good luck and prosperity. It was definitely worth the price! I can't wait to go back and check out one of their regular services!
