Fellow tea aficionados, this place is for you.

Enjoying a rooibos, the atmosphere, and the ambiance. One of my favorite places to have a tea and relax. I highly recommend it.

By far my favorite local tea place. I generally have to go out of my way to get to Nautilus, but am willing to make the occasional trip! It is well priced (especially when it comes to buying tea in bulk), has lots of options to try, and has a knowledgeable staff to talk tea with! I also love the story behind how the sweet couple that owns the place started the business and gave it the submarine theme. :)

Well priced, outstanding selection, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff.
This tea house is not only amazing, but Steampunk themed. The proprietors know their business, make excellent recommendations, and they even have a cool tea octopus on their wall!

Great place to have some tea! It is very quiet and they got a lot of tea blends that are extremely healthy! Pretty inexpensive too!

Drove by and noticed it so I stopped in. EXCELLENT tea selection and you can get pretty much any one hot or cold and by the cup or pot. I love tea but always end up with English breakfast for lack of choice at most places (ahem Starbucks). I’m taking some home for sure but enjoying it in house is fun — the atmosphere has just a tiny touch of steampunk.

Didn’t really have a great experience here, although they do seem to have a nice selection of teas and definitely some cute gift type things to buy.
This is just not a place that is designed to have people come in and sit awhile. There just aren’t really many tables/​seats, and, if you’re there to work or study, there is only one near enough to an outlet that it is usable. They do offer wifi, however, it is apparently one hour per item you buy. Which was unfortunately not mentioned and it just shut off while I was in the middle of working.
My main complaint is that the server just wasn’t very helpful or friendly despite my being only one of two other people in the shop (one of whom was with me). She definitely watched us struggling with where to plug in a laptop and just kept telling us where we couldn’t sit, rather than helping us find a solution. It would have also been nice if she had mentioned the wifi policy when she gave us the password (and maybe even been a little lenient on it when it ran out, instead of insisting that we had to buy something else despite the fact that neither one of us were finished with what we’d originally purchased).
If this was positioned as just a to-​go spot or even a store to buy tea at, it would be perfect. However, as a coffee/​tea shop, I definitely would not go back here again.

I came here with my friend we loved the tea. They have so many different varieties of tea. I love this place i definitely recommend it.

Really delicious pastries and an amazing gin cake! The tea is to die for, both the herbal happy tea and the black English tea. The mystery tea was very unique and so much fun! It was outside in great weather with little tea competitions in between! My mother loved it, I loved it and my 9 year old loves it! So much fun, can’t wait for the next one for V-​Day!

I tried the iced green dragon tea, it was so refreshing. I love the feel of the place, it is very modern and comfortable. Service was great! Looking forward to trying another tea soon

Fair Oaks, Meet under the sea meets the mad tea party.
I bought tea after tea and I’m set for the Winter.

I came to Nautilus Tea Company one morning after taking a test at the testing center up the street. I was THRILLED to finally visit a place I had long ago bookmarked, because their hours during the week don’t work with my work hours so I don’t get to visit in the morning before work which I would like. They are open late on Friday or all day on Saturday which is nice.
The inside is very well done and comfortable. There are a few chairs and tables up front along with some merchandise to brew your own tea at home. Towards the back there is a tea bar with a long counter and plenty of bar stools. Behind the bar is a nice mirror and containers with all their teas.
I was the only one inside at around 10:30am on a Thursday, but the lady who was working was friendly and helped me navigate the rather intimidating menu to find a tea that would work for me. I like iced tea WAY more than I like hot tea, so she let me know everything on the menu can be made both hot or cold. Awesome! I like fruity green or black teas the best, so she also helped me narrow down the menu of 50+ teas to a few that I might like.
I chose an Iced «Whirling Wizards» Tea which is locally blended with orange peel, green grape essence, mango and passion fruit. She quickly brewed the tea and it was ready in only a minute or two. The best thing that the price for my Medium (or «Grande») sized iced tea was only $ 2.50! With prices like that I could come back almost everyday. Unfortunately the location is not close to my house, but I will make a point to stop in every time I am in the area.

What’s NOT to love about Nautilus Tea Co?! I am almost embarrassed to admit that I go there about 5 days a week, usually twice a day. I must hate it right ;) I LOVE their Iced Berry Tea’s in the Summer, OR my NEW FAVORITE Iced Nemo Tuxedo (it’s a dessert in a glass). Also, when it’s cool out I highly recommend their Hot Chocolate… OMG! It’s family run and absolutely adorable. I love the décor… I’m usually in and out, but wish I could spend time actually hanging out there. I HIGHLY recommend Nautilus! ~Lauren :)

I stumbled upon this little tea place and I really like it. The atmosphere is nice and the owner is really cool too. Pretty good customer service, but could improve in some areas (just my opinion).
I got the aloha iced herbal tea and it was $ 2.70. Pretty reasonable and pretty good tasting. After hearing good things about the hot chocolate, that is something I’d love to try. I came here so I could relax and work on some homework. There are two regular sized tables for that and then there are two nice decorative chairs with a small table in between. It doesn’t seem like a lot of people come in to relax and if they do, it’s usually at the bar stools.
Update: The hot chocolate is AMAZING and is only $ 2.70. YUM
The wi-​fi times out and kicks you off after about an hour and you have to ask for another ‘voucher’. It would be a lot easier if there was just a regular password.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place!

Discovered this lil Gem not to long ago. I second what many have said already. Cute lil place with a big variety of teas including tissanes (herbals). Plus there are several different ways to have each tea so it even adds to the variety.
The owner really knows her teas too! Just ask away and she’ll guide you to the right selection.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find Nautilus in my neighborhood. Teas were well served and delicious. Checks almost every box for a tea place and I will be finding an excuse to go back soon. The idea of an actual tea «bar» is quite fantastic. Plan on drinking my way through the entire menu.
My only complaint is the minimal seating. But there might be outside options if it wasn’t pouring rain.

This is a true GEM! I have been here twice now and am so happy to have found it. I love tea and am now really starting to drink more because of the added health benefits. This place has a cool steam punk décor with lots of fun trinkets! Great selection of tea and wonderful specialty items. The family that runs it is super friendly and they are open to suggest items if you have not tried many teas before. I loved the chai tea. I also got a pastry and it made for a great sit down.
SOOOO-​if you love tea and cool awesome hang outs-​then bring your friends to this sweet place. You will enjoy it!

I was excited to see a new place open near my house. It’s hidden in a small corner of a shopping center, but I wasn’t expecting it to be so well decorated inside! It’s very tasteful. We went to try some tea, a new experience for us, being that we are heavy coffee drinkers. The tea was good, the service was SO friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I wish they had espresso drinks, but if that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t the spot.
I bet their chai is AH-​mazing, so I’ll be back for that soon. Seems like a nice place to sit and read or just hang out.

Ok so today I became the happiest person in the world! I found a tea place! TEA place? You say? Yes one that caters to us tea drinkers but still accommodates the coffee drinkers too. But really it all about us tea drinkers. Such a cute quaint place ticked literally in the corner of the shopping center. I found this lovely place via a Unilocal review from a friend on Unilocal and was excited and sad at the same time. This place has been here 3 months and I am just now finding out about it?!? Better late than never. Well anyhow we drove out here and arrived in a knick of time during a «brown out» but still the power was on so we ordered and were able to visit and hang out even after the power went out and they had to officially close for a bit before the power was fully restored. Whew! I would have been so upset if I wouldn’t have gotten to try the lovely teas out.
Hubby got an iced sweet and spicy chai latte and it was really good, I’m usually not a fan of iced chai but will be back to try the hot one soon. I opted for the Marrakech Maharajah Chai and sat and had 3 pots of it while visiting with the owners. When we left Hubby got a cold brewed coffee to go and I took one of the daily special iced teas for only $ 2. I have to say this is a lovely family owned place with people truly excited and knowledgable about the products and brands they choose to share with their customers! I could sit and chat all day here or go sit in the corner in a comfy chair and enjoy tea for hours reading or just relaxing. I will certainly make a point to come out in this area more often just because of this place. I cannot wait to try all the teas they have to offer. I did buy some of the Jungle Monkey to try later tonight since I didn’t want to overstay my welcome the first time I was here lol I think I hung out for an hour and a half… maybe more but who’s counting?! Tea just makes the world a better place and thanks to Tonja and Mike it’s right here! Thanks so much for your hospitality and welcoming me with open arms! I will be seeing you soon and to all my Elite Unilocalers and friends you’ve got to come check this place out there’s so much to experience here… let’s give those big box coffee shops the snub they give to us tea drinkers and patronize a true tea lovers place.

Brand new tea shop opened today in Fair Oaks. Staff is so friendly and the tea is great. Come check it out.
You can sit at the counter for a cup of tea and buy your favorite flavor to take home.
