Great Tea, But Pricey The tea and ambiance Thendral tea shop at are excellent, but the prices are higher than expected. A nice spot for premium tea lovers, but not ideal if you’re on a budget.

Thendral Tea Shop is an absolute gem nestled right in the heart of Vellore city and has become my go-to spot after every visit to church. This small yet vibrant tea shop holds a unique charm, making it perfect for a quick break or a hangout session. There’s no seating area, but somehow, that adds to the experience—standing with a warm glass of tea in hand, engaging in lively conversations, and enjoying the street vibe. The tea here is simply delightful. It’s brewed just right, with that perfect balance of strength and flavor, making it a must-try for any tea enthusiast. They also serve a range of snacks, from crispy samosas to flavorful biscuits, adding a little extra to every visit. Each bite complements the tea perfectly, creating a refreshing experience that never disappoints. Parking can be a bit tricky, especially for cars, but there’s plenty of room for bikes along the edge of the road, making it convenient for two-wheelers. Despite its modest setup, the shop attracts a diverse crowd, and you’ll often find groups of people standing around, sharing everything from daily updates to big dreams, all over a simple yet cherished glass of tea. Whether you’re stopping by for a solo tea break or visiting with family like I do, Thendral Tea Shop has a way of making each visit feel special. It’s a humble spot with a big heart, perfect for savoring a moment of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of Vellore.
