Welcome to Tria, Philly's original casual wine bar since 2004.Our two Center City wine bars have helped elevate Philly’s wine scene while keeping it fun.

The friendly Tria team will help you discover new flavor sensations if that’s your jawn. If you prefer, we’ll bring you more wine and leave you alone. It’s all good.We love wine and it shows, but Tria above all is a community where guests come to relax and connect. There are no TVs or other distractions. The “concept” is for our guests to engage in conversation made livelier, deeper and cheerier by the wine. Cheers!

• Afternoon Tea • West Philadelphia
Booked 4 times today
Whether you come cute with your girls, make it a date with your mate, visit as a mommy-daughter duo or take time just for you, Akwaaba Tea Salon & Event Space offers 90 minutes of pure indulgence in a sophisticated sanctuary. Here’s where you can take a breath while you take a sip of fine, loose-leaf teas and experience a cultural spin on traditional English High Tea fare. Think deviled eggs with a chunk of Southern-fried chicken instead of egg salad finger sandwiches. And homemade peach cobbler and banana pudding upstage macaroons every time! Oh, and did we mention the live jazz music at our 1 pm Sunday seating?!Akwaaba Tea Salon and Event Space is the latest hospitality experience from Monique Greenwood, the former Essence magazine editor-in-chief who took the lodging industry by storm with the 1995 launch of her award-winning Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns, one of which is in Philadelphia, right down the street from the new tea salon and event space.

    Try the soup! I also had the poached eggs with bubble and squeak—fantastic! These with a pint of English ale set me up for the day. Happy New Year!

    The Festive Afternoon Tea was a truly delightful experience. The tea room was festively decorated and the live music set a nice ambience. Gabriel, our server, was a delight, and answered all of our questions regarding the tea service. Everything was delicious but the highlights were the roast beef on a sourdough crisp and the Montague Bleu tea. All the sweets were tasty and pretty. We will definitely return for afternoon tea in the future.

    As a last minute addition to this year’s holiday celebrations, I decided to treat my daughter to high tea at the Akwaaba Tea Salon! We both had been wanting to visit the Tea Salon and what better time than the present for an impromptu visit! I’m so glad I did! We had such a lovely time at high tea! We were warmly greeted by the hostess, and although we were a bit early, we were promptly seated at a quaint table. Our lovely server, Mekhia(? sorry if I spelled her name incorrectly)explained the different types of tea selections and let us know how the afternoon would unfold. Absolutely everything about our time at the Tea Salon was great! The tea was flavorful and soothing and the food from the scones to the petit sandwiches and desserts were delicious! And the entire staff we interacted with were lovely. At first I wasn’t sure what to think about prepaying, but when were finished and had spent a good time leisurely chatting(90 minutes is actually longer than I thought it was), I actually loved that the whole “check please” was eliminated. And although the gratuity was included in the prepayment, I left an extra small tip because we really did have a lovely time! Looking forward to visiting the Tea Salon again soon.
