Sip slow,
bake fresh,
stay a while.

A Phoenix institution
built one pastry at a time.

Crete Tea Room started as a small dream on East McDowell Road — a place where the aroma of freshly baked bread meets the ritual of a properly steeped cup of tea. Four decades later, we're still here, still baking, and still treating every customer like a regular.

Our kitchen bakes from scratch every morning. Our tea counter carries more than fifty varieties from small growers around the world. And our shelves are stocked with pantry staples you won't find at the big-box store — because we pick each one ourselves.
