Amazing tea house. Great snacks. Fun low tables in addition to regular tables. Live music on Tuesday nights!

Tea, not coffee. All kinds of tea. All kinds of company. Or just solitude.

Dobra is another one of those places in Burlington with a very unique ambience. A place you should definitely try out to see if you like it. Depending on when you go, your experience might be very different. The space is small. I think it's interior incorporates a lot of bamboo. Tables are small and simple. There are a few areas where you can sit on the floor on pillows instead of in chairs. Servers are very hands off. They won't bother you unless you ring your bell and even then sometimes service can be slow. There are some friends that I visit Dobra with and I always have a very nice time. There are other friends I would never go to Dobra with. It's just not their speed. I find I enjoy myself most when I go there with a regular. The highpoint of my Dobra visits is the hummus, stuffed grape leaves and other middle eastern foods they serve there. Very tasty, if not pretty pricey. I believe all the food they serve there is made in house or locally. A lot of attention is paid to making sure things are organic and local. My friends who are really in to teas are fun to accompany because they always have something interesting to tell me. According to friends in the know, the owner of Dobra travels the world quite frequently purchasing teas. Also, there are three Dobras (I believe). In addition to the Burlington one, there is one in Portland, Oregon and another down south. Not for everyone, but definitely a unique experience, do yourself a favor and visit Dobra on a quiet weekday afternoon. In the evening it can be quite packed. Another fun time to go is around brunch when many of the other local restaurants are quite busy. Be prepared for low key, slowish service and a pretty quiet atmosphere.

Looks like a dojo - they don't sell coffee.
