About this place
Directly connected to Ueno Station on the 1st floor of atré, Afternoon Tea TEAROOM atré Ueno features a bright, casual interior accented with light wood. It provides a convenient setting for a wide selection of teas, savory meals, and sweets, making it an easy stop when you need a break after touring nearby museums or while transferring between train lines.
A perennial centerpiece of the tea hour is the Afternoon Tea Set, which lets you combine your choice of 3 or 4 desserts with a pot of tea. The lineup balances temperatures and textures, featuring selections such as warm sweet potato bread pudding topped with cool vanilla ice cream, and apple pie baked with Fuji apple compote alongside thin almond sponge. For a simpler classic, the Cream Tea Set—pairing scones with blueberry jam, whipped cream, and tea—remains a satisfying alternative.
The tea selection is broad. Options range from the mild, balanced Afternoon Tea Blend and pots of Darjeeling to refreshing iced Earl Grey infused with bergamot. Rich chai simmered from robust Assam tea arrives in generous pots, offering a comforting, lightly spiced brew. For those watching their caffeine intake, decaffeinated Earl Grey and rooibos Earl Grey are also on hand.
Beyond tea and dessert, the tearoom accommodates full meals with pasta sets served alongside bread and tea, including pasta in organic tomato sauce with mozzarella cheese or shrimp and broccoli in cream sauce. Open continuously from 10:00 to 21:00, the café easily adapts to solo lunches, relaxed conversations with friends, or quiet pauses between shopping stops.
