Our Story

Rooted in Gastonia,
Steeped in Tradition

Ms Skinny's Tea Stop began with a simple conviction: that a great cup of tea deserves the same care and attention as a fine meal. Located in the heart of Gastonia on East Franklin Boulevard, we've become a gathering place for neighbors who appreciate the ritual of a well-brewed cup and the comfort of something fresh from the oven.

Every blend we serve is thoughtfully chosen. Every pastry is made in-house, each morning. We believe that small details — the temperature of your water, the quality of your leaf, the flakiness of your crust — are what separate an ordinary visit from a memorable one.

Why We're Different

Make the Difference

Small-Batch Blending

Every tea blend is mixed in small quantities to ensure peak freshness and flavor. We source directly from estates we trust.

Baked Each Morning

Our pastries arrive fresh every day — never day-old, never frozen. The aroma alone is worth the visit.

Knowledgeable Service

Our team knows their teas — from origin to ideal steeping time. Let us help you find your perfect cup.

Local & Community

Proudly rooted in Gastonia. We partner with local suppliers and serve as a gathering place for our neighbors.
