Our Story
Where Asian & Western baking meet
Brecotea brings traditional Asian bakes and contemporary Western pastry together under one roof, with drinks crafted to match.
Bread · Coffee · TeaThe idea behind our name
A bakery café built around joyful moments
Brecotea creates joyful moments that bring happiness to every guest. We specialize in bread, coffee, tea and more, all made fresh with high-quality ingredients, and our baked goods and beverages are crafted to complement each other.
Our menu is a fusion of traditional Asian and contemporary Western baking. You'll find soft, fluffy buns filled with sweet or savory fillings, like the classic pineapple bun, purple ube bun and Japanese-style chicken curry bun. They sit beside flaky croissants and fruit Danish, golden egg tarts, and layered celebration cakes made with light sponge and mascarpone cream.
Walking in is half the fun. Grab a tray and a pair of tongs, browse the glass cases, and choose exactly what you'd like. Our team restocks the cases throughout the day, so there's always something warm and new to discover.
"Breads are incredibly fluffy, croissant has beautiful layers, and my goodness, that egg tart. Each one is like a work of art."Poppy 901, guest review
Then there's the drink board: 34 numbered signature drinks, from brown sugar boba and jasmine milk tea to fresh fruit teas, sparkling teas and indulgent Paradises, plus espresso, lattes and chai. Every drink is made to order and designed to pair with something from the pastry case.

NicholasGuest review
I had a wonderful afternoon experience at Brecotea. The pastry options are plentiful and the tea is great. I spent time working on my laptop. It did get quite loud, so be aware of that if you plan to go to have video calls. There is plenty of seating, the place is very clean and organized. I highly recommend this cozy shop.

The most amazing bakery I’ve ever been to- you get to pick and choose whatever pastry you’d like with your own tongs and tray. Not to mention the fact that the boba is also amazing! They are always restocking the pastries and let me just say they are to die for! Definitely coming back again. 🫶

Yesterday I had the privilege to go to Brecotea and try their wonderful pastries and boba tea. What shocked me upon entry is the cleanliness of the establishment and the amount of pastries I could have chosen from. Ultimately, I decided to go with the chicken curry pastrie, berry crossint and the pistachio pastry with the bubble tea cake boba. Overall, my experience was wonderful and i will for sure be coming back to test out new flavors. I highly recommend this restaurants if you are in North Carolina.😇

So fresh and delicious. They have an amazing selection of both sweet and savory bread, and I loved every single one. Breads are incredibly fluffy, croissant has beautiful layers, and my goodness, that egg tart. Each one is like a work of art, and reminds me of a taste I could only get in Taiwan, so extra points for nostalgia, haha. Give this place a visit if you can, it’s a must try for me.
