This is a list of teahouses. A
teahouse is an establishment which primarily serves
tea and other light refreshments. Sometimes the
meal is also called "tea". Although its function varies widely depending on the culture, teahouses often serve as centers of
social interaction, like
coffeehouses. Some cultures have a variety of distinct tea-centered houses of different types that all qualify under the English language term "teahouse" or "tearoom". For example, the British or American tearoom serves
afternoon tea with a variety of small cakes.
