Central Tea House
3000 Central Ave, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“This Charlotte gem serves up vibrant Vietnamese-inspired sandwiches alongside an adventurous menu of specialty teas and creative drinks that keep regulars coming back to try something new each visit. Owner Phu brings genuine warmth to the operation, crafting everything from silky cold chai lattes to refreshing jasmine green tea with the same care he puts into his beloved banh mi. It's the kind of conveniently located spot where quality ingredients and friendly service make even a quick tea run feel like discovering something special.”

Tried something new while visiting my daughter. The Vietnamese sandwich was delicious. I got the lemon chicken and loved the fresh ingredients used. The cold chai latte was the best I’ve ever had. Very sweet and friendly staff. Was able to experience the celebration of the Vietnamese new year as well.
Checked out new spot Tsaocaa for some dessert! They have an amazing selection of bubble teas, a multitude of flavors to choose from, and several dessert options. They do have Korean fried chicken there as well! We got the Mango Passion cake slice and it does not disappoint! For the holiday season, their tree was decorated in an array of different and amazing Labubu's!! Great space and warm and welcoming staff! Kayla was fantastic and super friendly! The entire staff was super kind! Looking forward to coming back and congrats Tsaocaa on your opening here in CLT!!!
This is a super convenient place off Central to grab a tea and a Bahn mi. Plenty of parking and the service is friendly and fast. I am partial to the lemongrass tofu sandwich, so I haven't tried a lot of the other sandwiches. I like how they are not stingy on the veggies/herbs and the bread is appropriately crispy. They also if course have a unique selection of teas and the tapioca bobas have never been too tough like many other boba places. They have plenty of fruity flavors, as well. Love this location because I know it is reliable and it tends to be on my driving routes. Stop by!
Love this place! Extremely convenient. Everything is delicious! We try and new drink everytime and it’s always a hit!! The sandwiches areee soooooo good! Please try them and thank me later. Highly recommend!! Mango mason refresher is 10/10
Wonderful hidden GEM in Charlotte. Hospitality is top notch, the owner, Phu, took our order and was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Jasmine green tea was high quality and made for a refreshing Passion Fruit jelly tea. Bahn Mi was also phenomenal. Please give this place a visit!!! Much better to spend your money here vs a corporate establishment. Small businesses such as his deserve much more!
