    Sipping Streams has such a great variety of teas!! The tea sets are adorable and I will definitely be back to try the food, it looked delicious! The highlight of my first visit was the salesperson Joshua! He was so kind and helpful without being overbearing. Even had some funny tea puns and was so knowledgeable and passionate about the teas. He definitely deserves a raise so he will always work there!!

    Lovely tea shop with incredibly knowledgeable staff. Great stop for a quick hot cup but also has options for you to learn about more intricate loose leaf tea if that’s what your after as well.

    I can’t believe how lucky I am that a tea shop as exceptional as Sipping Streams exists in a little city like Fairbanks. Every one of their teas I’ve had is great and their staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. My only gripe is that they’ve kind of ruined me for most other tea brands. 😆

    Got the original creamed honey as a gift and wanted more. I was delighted to find they had other flavors so I placed a order for earl grey (so delicious) and lavender (haven’t tried yet, distracted by the earl grey) honey, a tin of tea and a tea cup. The cup arrived shattered even though it looked like it was well packed but the box looked a little battered. I reached out via email to see what can be done and they quickly replied and put in a replacement for me within hours. The items are expensive but the quality is fantastic and the customer support very helpful.

    I was happy to find a very nice tea place in my home town Fairbanks Alaska, and spent hundreds of dollars here. After a few months I decided to invest $70 in the big thermos with the logo just because I was very pleased with the tea. First time using it I discovered itd leak because it was missing a rubber piece that comes in the top. When i bought the product, the nice cashier said I could come back if I had any problems and exchange or return it. Went back the next day and the owner was working at the front, she said she cant exchange or process a return. Great. I ask to buy the rubber piece separately but instead she has me email the company that she bought the thermos from and forward it to her. Never heard back from the company or her, it's been 9 months, complete waste of money and sad customer service experience. Not wasting my time or money here again.

    Amazing tea! The teas made by Sipping Streams are some of the best teas I've tried in my entire life. I don't know Jenny's secret, but she definitely knows her teas- the teas are high quality and her original tea blends taste amazing. If you're looking for classic black, green, oolong, white, and herbal teas, then you'll be very happy here. The decaf green tea is the best tasting decaf green tea I've ever had. If you want a taste of Alaska, try the Arctic Bliss which is a blend of fireweed (a type of flower that grows in Alaska), lingonberries and white tea. If you want more energy, try the 1000 Mile Tea (a blend of black and white teas). There's also yerba mate and rooibos. What else can I say? If you're a tea lover and you're in Alaska, you need to try Sipping Streams ASAP!

    I always love coming here. The food's good for the price, nothing super fancy but decent fare. The real reason to come is always the drinks of course. From the kombucha and boba to the teas it's always incredible! They've got a great selection of teas to take home and all kinds of pots, cups, infusers and the like. Plus it's a fantastic place to hang out and relax! Love the chill vibe.

    The perfect place to go for tea, whether you're seeking self-care, knowledge, or simply high-quality teas that tastes great! I recommend ordering the advent calendar if you stop by around the holidays!

    Don’t like write bad reviews but this company make me do that. Visited Alaska this summer and tried one tea, what was nice. Decide find this tea and ordered. Find this company sippingstreams and order tea some honey. To make check a bit bigger, I don’t mind to Suport local business. But when I receive a product I was kind of shocked. It was hard to believe this company don’t care about theirs costumer at all. They put me 1/2 smaller bottle of honey from what I ordered and tea… I never seen somebody sell 120$ 4 oz tea in a Walmart bag. I decided to call them and ask, what is going on. Explain situation and they not even apologize, just said “o sometime is happened” And tea we sell like that to save some money, but probably not my. Not recommend this guys at all. You can find almost exactly tea in Amazon 5 times cheaper and save your mood and money.

    The service is always quick and friendly! I love that they include the tea bag so I can use it more times at home too!

    I've been coming to sipping streams since it opened and it has been a staple in my life from the first sip. My life has taken me far from home, but when I come back here to fairbanks I always make it a point to stock up and sit down for a pot of tea with lunch. Love the product, the selection, the food, and the staff. If you're in fairbanks make it a point to stop by to warm up.

    My husband and I are new to tea and Sipping Streams has been amazing! The staff are always very excited to share what teas they love and answers any of our questions, a store that we will be coming back to for years to come.

    I visited Fairbanks for the first time ever and checked out this place Friday, wonderful lady named Madison helped us Friday and let me tell you. She is by my definition a Teaologist.She was very informative and i learned a substantial amount of info. More than the Museum we went to later that day! I came back today and she was there working and helped me again today If I am fortunate enough to visit Fairbanks again I will be back because of Madison's top-tier hospitality.

    I got the sweet peach white tea and three of their creamed honeys as well as their water bottle with a strainer at the bear paw festival today and the customer service is beyond amazing. The creamed honeys are so wonderful and flavorful that I bought three!! Will be recommending this to my fellow tea drinkers!

    Great place and the cashier was very knowledgeable, when I went in. I did order online a few days later and I waited for 15min after saying I was their and nothing so I called twice and finally got my order but by that time it was cold and my drink was melted. Overall alright

    I Love Sipping Streams and it is without a doubt my favorite tea shop in Fairbanks. The staff are typically very knowledgeable and extremely friendly and helpful and it's one of my favorite places to take visiting family and friends. I also enjoy the tea bags sold there which are both very unique and delicious. My only complaint is that sometimes the new staff are unknowledgeable or make mistakes with preparing the tea and food. When it comes to making good tea it often comes down to experience and the newer employees just don't have that much experience. Despite that I highly recommend Sipping Streams it has a very peaceful and wholesome atmosphere.

    The owner has done amazing work and the store offers the best variety of teas in town, however the service is incredibly slow. Expect close to 20 minute wait times with no lines and if two customers or more show up, the staff immediately crumbles under the pressure and orders can take up to 30 minutes or more and this is just for the drinks. Aside from their pre-made steamed buns, I couldn't imagine ordering anything else off the menu. Come here for the selection but if you actually order anything, be prepared and make time for it.

  • 5/5 Kori G. 10 months ago on Google
    I got two steamed buns and a unicorn lemonade boba, and my partner got a strawberry boba. Everything was soooo good. The dough on the buns was so delicious and the meat inside was seasoned so well. The unicorn lemonade boba was so delicious and pretty! The barista that made it was so sweet and helpful and the drink itself was so cool and color changing plus edible glitter! Perfect afternoon snack and drink. My partner loved their strawberry boba so much they finished it in less than 10 minutes! 💖

    I ordered their tea online then decided to go in person since I loved the tea so much. The cashier was so rude. It actually made me feel really sad because we drove an hour to get there. I was excited to spend the day with my family after we all got some of my favorite tea (no longer my favorite tea). I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If you hate your job and human interaction, then work some where else.

    The bun is not bun. If u come please know this’s not real bun. The pearl milk tea is not good, the pearls in it are terrible, and the egg tart is even worse. I can only say that she is cooked, but it is not a real egg tart,Dirty cutlery, stains on tablecloths

    I came across Sipping Streams at the state fair. My wife knows I love tea and talked me into checking it out. I was tired and skeptical. Thankfully, my wife persevered and I benefited thereby. I met the owner, heard about her teas and had the best Assam I have ever tasted. Really. It's an understated and often overlooked tea. SS Assam is complex, malty and grounding. I plan to travel to Fairbanks, visit her shop and top off my tin this winter. If you like tea or spunky Alaska business owners, do yourself a favor and patronize this wonderful shop.

    Great place - we don't have a tea shop where I'm from, and it was a delight to browse. They have a good variety of quality tea for sale. I recommend their Midnight Sun herbal blend!

  • 5/5 Amy L. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered some cute cups for my mom's 94th birthday. One of the cups had a big crack & I emailed them, and they are already sending a replacement ( : Quick customer service!

  • 1/5 Logo M. 2 years ago on Google
    I got boba from here and honestly it’s the worst I’ve ever had. The pearls were all clumped together and undercooked. The guy was great but the boba was just terrible.

  • 3/5 Sage B. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff here are sweet and kind but the reason i gave this review 3 stars is because there was a pretty long wait for our drinks and when i got my drink the first thing i tasted was the amazing strawberry tea but the boba was waxy and rock hard. great tea though.

    Great way to spend an evening at -30F. Enjoyed the delicious steamed and baked buns and hot tea! Great atmosphere, glad we have a tea shop in Fairbanks.
