Tea Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Went in for a whisk stand! They have a neat selection of teas and tea ware available right now. You’re free to just walk right in without any appointment but the space does look like it was kind of newly opened to public! Hoping to see more in the future“

“The food is amazing. Very clean and cool vibes.“

“Wow, what a CUTE tea shop. I love tea, so I was so happy to finally visit this shop on my trip from CA. The shop is small but has plenty of seating. The vibe is quaint and elegant while still feeling welcoming and approachable—some high-quality tea places can sometimes be very snobbish which is a turn off.

Everything here feels so thoughtfully done, from the decor and music to the menu layout and the small traditional Taiwanese snacks served alongside the tea. There’s something for both a tea connoisseur or a tea curious beginner.

You can really tell how much love and care went into creating this space. The service was kind and welcoming as well. The staff Queenie and Nadira were fantastic. ✨🫶🏽✨

I can’t wait to come back!“

“Afternoon Tea service was excellent“

“Great selection of teas, chill atmosphere, great service and Delicious Waffles!🧇“

“wonderful atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious and elegant tea services.“

“I visited this store to buy tea, and never felt more welcomed! The staff was so friendly and helped me choose what tea to get, also giving me a description of their taste and origin. Definitely a must go if you like tea and enjoy a cozy atmosphere!“

“Beautiful place for afternoon tea. Friendly staff, delicious food and wonderful tea selection.“

“Saw it on my delivery route and instantly fell in love, great tea/great space. Wish I could have taken it in a little longer.“

“I went on a trip to New York with three of my friends who are all tea lovers like me. None of them had ever had a traditional tea ceremony, so I had to take them and try it out! I had a great time learning with them, and absorbing the information the owner gave us about the tea, the culture, and the practice of making real, good tea. Nothing like what you get in a cafe, its quality is beyond good! Though if you take sugar and milk in your tea, dont expect it here. Its traditionally made, traditionally drank! Just the tea, atmosphere, and educational yet zen vibes. I dont live in New york, but I'll certainly buy from Jin Yun Fu again! I wont go back to brewing and experiencing tea any other way 🫶“

“Amazing time! Thank you Nishan (I hope I spelled that right!!) for your knowledge and expertise! Great host with recommendations! Also met some really interesting people there! (Roy and Mohammed!)“

“If you want to re-experience early 2010s NYC, where AI slop and gentrification and loss of basic subway etiquette were yet to be a thing, Orchid Tea is the best I can recommend. The decor is cozy and cluttered in a way no Instagrammable boba shop would ever allow. The food is fabulous. But don't come here if you're expecting to be in and out by 20 mins tops. Stay. Enjoy the atmosphere.“

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

“Beautiful hand crafted teaware and tea“

“Love love love the teas I got in January. I love my earl grey teas and got a couple of kinds, plus a Scottish toffee pu-erh tea that has become a favorite. Comfy environment for a pot of tea or grabbing a bag.“

“it cozy with friendly host and healthy food.i can't wait to visit again“

“Julian, Khadiza, Orchid, Mikka, and the whole team here are so wonderful! Delicious matcha, great plant-based options, excellent pastries and amazing seasonal drinks. The service is fantastic and they make a point of getting to know their regulars, which makes it such a lovely way to start the day. We love having this place in the neighborhood. Highly recommend the earth glow, the strawberry matcha, and trying whatever the seasonal drink special is— I have yet to try one I didn’t love!“

“My hot matcha latte w unsweetened macadamia milk was creamy & mellow- really hit the spot. We sat on low stools & took in the atmosphere. The place was very inviting and cozy with lots of well thought out details that made the most out of their tiny space. Would go again.“

“Lovely small tea shop! I was looking for some teas as a gift and the ladies inside were extremely helpful. They have all kinds of high quality teas, like green teas, black teas, white teas, and some imported from Taiwan and other parts of Asia. Highly recommend, the ladies are so friendly and helpful and will help you find what you need!“

“Nice environment, friends. Let's think about this place.“

“Amazing time here! It was so cute, food and tea was delicious and my server was so kind and attentive. The owner came by to say hello as well and overall, I had a great time. Would be really cute for a birthday, Mother’s Day, etc.“

“Fantastic selection of tea. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!“

“Really enjoyed this spot. They had a great tea set/ offerings. Pastries were good, service was great, tea was okay. I definitely recommend and will come again only reason I give it a 4 is because it was pretty average but definitely worth the price for what it was.“

“Su comida es muy buena deliciosos sándwiches excelentes bebidas 👏🏻“

“Angel makes the most beautiful bouquets that capture the essence of the flowers in perfect harmony 💓🌸“

“Very knowledgeable of teas and healthy choices. Family owned and so welcoming. Only place I'll purposely eat coconut.“

“This place has made the best cookie and brownie combination ever. I love getting brookies in Brooklyn Heights from Alice's Tea Cup to Go. Plus, I have been to Chapter I in Manhattan where they made a tasty salad and a delicious Alice's Croque Madame sandwich. Here's hoping we can all still support local business for Alice's Tea Cup whether it's still around in Brooklyn or Manhattan.“

“Fantastic selection of tea. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!“

“Hard to find, I navigated to the cricket store next door. The gentleman here was so helpful with making recommendations and the teas are fairly priced. The atmosphere of the store was so fun I wish they did tea service here, but when we visited it was only open for retail.“

“Fresh, delicious, and made with quality ingredients. I will be back. Om nomnom.“

“Bubble tea was delicious, ordering was a little confusing - I used the self-order screen but there was no one at the counter to complete the transaction.
It's a small store so I waited outside and walked around for ~10-15 minutes, went back in, and was finally attended to. Not sure why the other worker didn't help me out or give me any indication what was going on, pretty sure other customers that came after me got their drinks.
Kind of annoying but at least the Asian guy was attentive and competent and like I said the tea was delicious. I'd go back again.
Also, they charge a small fee for cards so bring some cash.“

“Beautiful shop. Very witchy.

Incredible selection of teas and kind staff. This is my go-to spot from now on. All the tea drinkers in my life are going to be very happy with their Christmas presents.

P.S. You guys should totally host tarot nights after hours.“

“Loved it ! Tea therapy for the family. Staff was friendly and nice.“

“Good Wi-Fi, drinks are fine, they asked me if I wanted honey in my tea and I said yes, but whatever they put in it definitely had erythritol in it. The result was it upset my stomach horribly and I was out for a couple hours. Now I won’t let them out anything in any beverage I order.“

“Great cozy place in Cordova TN!! Highly recommended!! The desserts were amazing!! Coming back with different friends soon!!! 🤩“

“This is an amazing location and great standard ! Amazing management and staff . Harmann served me and was EXCEPTIONAL!! A+ Grade A Standout Memorable Attentive Harmann speaks multiple languages , knows the menu inside and out and is incredibly knowledgeable about Laduree . I was transported back to the flagship location in Paris 👌🏿🙌🏿🇫🇷 This is hospitality ! He created a great experience for me and recommended items for brunch and to take home as gifts ! He truly deserves to be recognized. Keep up the great atmosphere and global standard of Laduree !“

“Teas are amazing. I have been there twice. It’s a fun and cozy atmosphere. A great place to go for showers and such, or a girls day.“

“Found this Gem on our way back to Jersey and it was a lovely find. Had a great variety of Teas! But of course I had to have the Nutella Latte once I saw it on the menu. Had gluten free options which I really enjoyed! Overall it’s a small cute shop that had friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back ☕️“

“It’s a wonderful place to perform and be close to the audience with no screens. I always meet music lovers from all over the world. Old world meets the new!“

“This was my first experience with Dango and Mochi - and it was amazing. Full stars on service , presentation, and flavor!“

“A serene retreat in the heart of the East Village where you literally get “whisked” away by the exquisite art of matcha tea service. The selections here are high quality, ground and prepared in accordance to tradition … evoking the tea’s journey, personally curated by tea master Mrs. Mori. A NYC gem not to be missed!“

“the bubble tea is amazing and they are really nice.“

“Wanting to take my daughter for a special treat whilst in New York for a few days we booked afternoon tea in the Pembroke Room at the Lowell Hotel after knocking back the Plaza after reading a few dodgy reviews. So pleased we did as we spent over 2 hours enjoying every moment. The service was excellent as was the food, especially the warm scones. It’s a shame the cream was “Devonshire” rather than the traditional Clotted Cornish but other than that it was perfection. Lovely small intimate setting too where we felt our custom was welcome rather than feeling just a number as we were one of just 3 tables there. Would we return? Absolutely!“

“Great cozy place in Cordova TN!! Highly recommended!! The desserts were amazing!! Coming back with different friends soon!!! 🤩“

“My favorite boba in NYC! Approved by Taiwanese😉❤️“

“Cute little place. Great tea (I only had the Osmanthus), and the pastry I had (chocolate cream puff) was excellent.“

“The food, drinks and service were all fantastic and the room is absolutely beautiful! We didn't have time for the afternoon tea but their tea that I ordered to drink is excellent. It is definitely on the pricier side but well worth a visit (stop in for a coffee/tea just to experience the setting).“

“I’ve been coming to this location for over 5 years and I never decided to make a review. You are the only Mr wish I love going to out of all the locations. The drinks are always spot on. It’s a craving of mine all the time. My top two drinks are of course the Bubble Tea and The Apple Tea with Fresh Pulp. I go here so often the young man already knows my orders. They’re polite and very welcoming. We always enjoy coming here our whole family does. If it were up to me I’d be here every day it’s just so good and refreshing! We also recommend The Black Tiger Milk & The Peach Tea all these drinks in a large of course. The only thing I recommend from the Mr wish chain is to get into catering cause I’d have them for every event.

Best Bubble Tea in Queens!! I say that with so much passion better yet BEST BOBA!!“
