What a wonderful place. Stumbled upon it while strolling around Great Barrington. They’ve got a huge menu of hot tea and also have iced options and bubble teas too. We throughly enjoyed our tea! Loved the outdoor area in the back to sit back and relax with a cup of tea!

Very tasty bubble tea! Wish they did smoothies too. We sat outdoors on the side with the colorful chairs and birds chirpin. I believe there is indoor seating as well. Steady flow of customers, and staff seamed friendly!

Extra Special Teas is definitely special! Just walking in the door, you can feel the love and energy of those working. Definitely recommend a visit to support an incredible cause with wonderful people and delicious tea and treats. My favorites: S'more Love tea latte with their shortbread cookies. SO GOOD!

This place is pretty amazing, it is a small space and get can get pretty crowded. There is quite a variety of teas available. Everyone is really nice and is a laid back environment. There is seating in front, in the back, and as well as outside in a small garden. They sell some nifty merch and some delicious goodies.
Highly recommended.

This place is super cute and has a WIDE range of teas! Including bubble tea! If you don't know, bubble tea is a milk tea option with tapioca pearls (boba) at the bottom. It's a must try. Staff is super sweet and the whole house is colorful and welcoming. Stay to drink on their comfy couches or walk the main St in Great Barrington.

One of my favorite berkshire spots: the best fruity herbal bubble teas, friendly staff, reasonable prices, cute boho decor inside and outside, and a wonderful mission. What more could you ask for?
