Soakology

Soakology is a charming and quirky foot sanctuary tucked away in Portland's Old Port district. Part tea house, part foot spa, this intimate spot invites you to soak your feet in a warm, herbal-infused bath while sipping a complimentary cup of tea. The menu features a variety of foot soaks made with natural ingredients like sea salt, lavender, and peppermint, each designed to soothe tired feet and promote relaxation. You can also add on a reflexology or chair massage session to enhance the experience. The atmosphere is serene and bohemian, with soft lighting, cozy chairs, and the gentle aroma of essential oils. What makes Soakology distinctive is its focus on the simple pleasure of a foot soak in a social setting – you can come alone with a book or chat with a friend while your feet are pampered. It's a perfect break from exploring Portland's cobblestone streets, offering a moment of tranquility in a bustling city.

A bit of history

Soakology opened in 2008 as a unique concept combining a foot spa with a tea bar. It was inspired by the owner's love of tea and the therapeutic benefits of foot soaks, quickly becoming a beloved local retreat in Portland's Old Port.
