If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into a storybook, one filled with mismatched chairs, books stacked to the ceiling, and the gentle clink of vintage china, then Dr. Bombay’s Underwater Tea Party in Atlanta might just be your dream come true.
Nestled in the heart of Candler Park, this quirky little gem isn’t your average tea room. It’s part café, part community hub, and all heart. The moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with colorful parasols hanging overhead, shelves of gently-loved books waiting for a second chance, and the inviting aroma of fresh-brewed tea and baked goods wafting through the air.
But make no mistake—this isn’t just a spot to grab a cuppa. Dr. Bombay’s has soul.
High Tea, the Whimsical Way at Dr Bombay's
Their afternoon tea service is a charming affair—think delicate teacups, dainty sandwiches, flaky scones, and bite-sized desserts, all served on tiered stands that look straight out of your grandma’s china cabinet. The vibe is vintage, but never stuffy. It’s perfect for birthday celebrations, bridal teas, or just a little self-love on a slow Sunday.
Reservations are a must, and you’ll want to bring your favorite tea hat—or at least your camera, because this place is an Instagram dream.
Sip for a Cause
What really makes Dr. Bombay’s special is its mission. More than just a café, it’s the beating heart of a social initiative that helps provide educational opportunities for young women abroad. So every latte you sip or book you buy is helping change someone’s life—and that’s the kind of tea we love to spill.
The Magic Is Real
Whether you’re popping in for a cozy solo tea break, hosting a whimsical celebration, or simply wandering the neighborhood, Dr. Bombay’s offers a dose of magic in every corner. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile—and then come back again and again.
So next time you're in Atlanta, don’t just go out for tea—go underwater.
