Loose-leaf tea, fresh-baked pastries, and the kind of warmth that makes you stay.

Tucked on South Clinton Street, The Bep Teahouse is where Iowa City gathers — for a single-origin pour, a flaky croissant, and the quiet pleasure of a slow afternoon.

The Bep Teahouse began as a quiet conviction: that a cup of properly steeped tea, paired with a pastry made from scratch that morning, could turn an ordinary afternoon into something worth remembering.

For over a decade, we've been serving Iowa City from our South Clinton Street storefront — a place where the oven runs from dawn, the tea list changes with the seasons, and every regular knows exactly how they like their cup.

Nothing fancy. Just honest baking, thoughtfully sourced leaves, and the simple belief that hospitality is the best ingredient.
