Tea Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“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!“

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

“I was in desperate need of spices for all of the Italian cooking that I do and found Sullivan Street Tea & Spice Company on a random Google search. I ordered immediately and received my order quickly. Not only did the spices arrive beautifully packaged but they are exactly what I was looking for! Very excited that I found this place!“

“The taro boba is 🔥 my beast friend and I casually walked from Williamsburg to Tea Art and it was absolutely amazing. I had the Taro, she had the green tea with lychee jelly, both were great with no artificial tastes. Definitely recommend“

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

“Such a wonderful experience at Jin Yun Fu Tea Shop! My husband and I did the Horizontal Tea Flight and tried the oolong, pu’er, and white tea. Each one was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully explained. After each pour you start to see the true form of the tea.

Olivia was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and so welcoming. She made us feel completely at home from the moment we walked in. The entire atmosphere was so zen and calming. Even with the busy street outside, it felt like we could truly slow down and just be present.

We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something intentional and special. We def want to come back for the Song Cha experience.“

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

“Orchid Tea Cafe is the best place to have lunch or dinner with a small group of friends! My friend brought me to this place for dinner and it was so cozy and vibey. The owner is so sweet and the way she interacts with her customers and how regulars come in to chat with her shows how much she loves what she does and how passionate she is about her business. While eating me and my friends played one of the board games they had available and had such a nice time eating and chatting in the establishment. Would definitely come again!“

“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!)“

“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 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!“

“First time trying matcha, Jody and Richell were so kind! Walked me through the menu and helped me decide which drink to try first .. because i will be back for more!! There are so many to choose from. You can really taste the quality and flavor in the drink. I tried the “Earth Glow” it was a 10/10 for first time matcha trying.“

“Had a lovely morning tea at Paquita! The space is quaint and fields a little bit like a Victorian time capsule. The tea is priced extremely fairly and it seems like so much pair has been put into every utensil and cup. I had a pot of the mint chai, with a side of milk and honey, and it was delicious! I also had a slice of the Matcha loaf, which was a highlight. Highly recommend for a casual, but thoughtful the experience— feels like you’ve happened upon a little gem.“

“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.“

“I've been going to her tea shop since it was in New world mall. I like the new spot. It's much quieter than the ol new world mall spot. She's got great Taiwanese teas, I love how fresh she gets the oolongs and naturally flavored jasmine teas.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

The two ladies who worked the front seemed to know a lot about the different teas, superb answers. Tied bows around my tea pouches and everything. get the Siam basil or the Ashram is you like tasty herb tea. I Hoping they get the tea boxes back soon

A little pricy but very good gift spot“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Every neighborhood in NYC deserves a really good cafe...and I think Poetica serves that role for Windsor Terrace. Poetica has all the essentials for a good cafe -- great coffee, a pleasant atmosphere, large seating area , and a clean working bathroom. All of this is capably managed by Nozima, the location supervisor who is super friendly, creating a very welcoming atmosphere for friends, families, students and remote workers. When a latte costs 6 dollars, the coffee has to be good, and Poetica's coffee is consistently good. Making really good coffee is tricky so the Poetica staff must be well trained. This location also makes delicious breakfast sandwiches and salads and serves fresh baked goods. And for early risers, this locationa always opens at 7:00 am sharp. Overall Poetica is a great asset to the Windsor Terrace neighborhood.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!!! 🤩“

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

“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!!“

“The Grand Salon at the Baccarat Hotel offers an atmosphere of exceptional elegance and refined luxury, reflecting the highest standards of hospitality. The setting itself is exquisite, but what truly distinguishes the experience is the caliber of service provided by the host “ Nada “ ,

Nada In particular reflected an outstanding professionalism and genuine warmth. Her welcoming demeanor, attentiveness, and grace exemplify the essence of exceptional customer care. She consistently ensures that guests feel valued and well attended to, contributing significantly to the overall reputation and excellence of the establishment,

It would be highly beneficial for the management to recognize Nada as a model of service excellence and to encourage the broader team to emulate her approach. She represents the standard to which all hospitality professionals should aspire,

I strongly encourage guests to seek out Nada during their visit. A simple greeting will quickly demonstrate the remarkable difference her presence makes, enhancing both the quality of service and the overall experience.

Thank you NADA ..“

“I enjoyed the attention of the representative. She was very pleasant and very nice. The organic matcha cheese cake and drink with bubbles (lychee and tapioca) ARE AMAZING. 😋“
