The Art of Tea is unlike other cafes in South Manchester, it combines a bookshop with great music and delicious home cooked food to create an atmosphere of pure comfort. Nestled in the leafy side streets of Didsbury high street, this Tea emporium also has one of the most impressive menus of loose leaf beverages to be found in the city.

Check out their events series for live music, art and comedy, or get stuck into a book on a lazy afternoon.
