Tea Restaurants in New York, NY

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

“Long overdue review! The service is always super friendly and thoughtful, whether you’re dining in or grabbing something to go. Today was a great example—there were no seats available so I ordered to-go, and one of the tea baristas remembered something I had asked about earlier and even wrote it down for me. Such a sweet and thoughtful touch! And of course, the bite-size snacks are a must 😄“

“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“

“this is almost like a small emporium of teas, honeys, salts, and spices. you really slow down to take in everything around you, and it’s wonderful.

staff were also very helpful and informative, and there’s so much to see here, it’s almost impossible to walk out without getting something. i got the white melon tea as a gift for a friend and she loved it!“

“This is the second time I've gone to Lady Mendl's this year and both times the food and service have been superb for me and the group I was with. For context I am part of a fashion club that goes out for tea in groups of 5 or more. Yesterday afternoon I went with a group of 10 and the actual tea service was lovely, the staff were very attentive & helpful. The tea was fresh and the food was warm & delicious to offset the rainy weather of the day. As nothing is perfect our experience was lovely until the very end. As we were leaving some members of our fashion group wanted to take pictures in the lobby with the surrounding décor to remember the event. We made sure to be respectful. A middle aged woman with short blond hair and with a heavier build comes into the lobby and immediately yells: "What the hell is this?!". Instead of asking us if we were helped she made rude comments such as "You shouldn't be here" and got snappy at the hostess about our group. She implied we were just randomly in there off the street and made zero effort to actually speak with us. I was informed by the hostess that she was the owner of the establishment. There was no reason for her hostility. I would have been more positive had it not been for the behavior of who I believe was the owner. Her actions towards our group and the hostess left a really sour impression on what would have been a positive evening. I feel bad for the staff if she is like that more often then not. As someone else has stated: there was no one else at the lobby/salon area at this time of this incident. Our party had spent a lot of time and money reserving a table at this location and that blond woman needs a remember to not judge a book by it's cover.“

“This is one of my favorite spots. I love coming here for tea and little treats while sitting by the window and people-watching. It’s a tiny place, but the tea quality is phenomenal my favorite is the white tea with rose, it’s absolutely delicious. The staff are wonderful, too such sweet women who make the experience even better. I’d definitely recommend this spot!“

“This place serves no food, only tea. It is not for people who want a quick cup of tea; you should plan to spend an hour to an hour and a half minimum here. You reserve in advance, and either choose a team to share with somebody else or flight of teas. Realize that this is not discount, Lipton tea… it is high-quality tea, and naturally comes with a price tag The server prepares the tea and pours it for you, and you have an utterly pleasant time drinking out of this world tea. If you really love tea, you should check this place outthis world team“

“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!)“

“Dreamiest tea shop in nyc. Within 20 minutes, I had learned so much about herbs and was given a beautiful recommendation for a tea blend for anxiety. The tea tasted amazing and I instantly felt the relief. Would highly recommend this shop for anyone new or interested in herbal medicine and teas. They also have delicious matcha and cute bags. Can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in the city.“

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

“Such a wonderful afternoon tea experience! The servers were friendly and attentive, the 3 tier plate they serve is delectable! Every bite was scrumptious! The atmosphere was cozy with a very relaxed vibe. If you’re looking for a perfect cozy place for your afternoon tea!! I recommend this place an absolute well deserved 5 star!!“

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

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

“It’s such a nice tea shop. The owner was very knowledgeable and friendly. He has a nice variety of teas from green tea, white tea, oolong, to puer. We learned so much from him and ended up getting a bunch of raw puer cakes. Can’t wait to go home and try it! Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“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!!! 🤩“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I stopped by Ladurée recently and was genuinely impressed. The macaroons and French pastries were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff were warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's seating available, so it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your treats. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving authentic French pastries!“

“Our visit to the Grand Salon at the Baccarat Hotel for brunch was delightful. As soon as you enter the Grand Salon, you are taken by the majestic appearance of the room, filled with a variety of decorations, including sculptures, crystal glasses, and books all over the place. The Christmas decorations were cute and memorable.

We started off with the Lime and Ricotta Pancake and the Baccarat Omelette along with two small pots of tea (Queen's Guard and Golden Glow). The Pancake was perfect cooked - slightly crisp on the outside and extremely soft and fluffy on the inside. The Omelette was delicious amd well plated, even though the portion size was a bit small (add 1-2 more eggs!). We then had the Hojicha tea and the Silver Needle, both of which were excellent. The almond croissant was a bit small and had a fusion of flavors (it had chocolate and some essence that we couldn't pin down).
Nonetheless, the experience was memorable and makes for a nice, romantic brunch.“

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

“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. 😋“

“My compliments to the Chef and the entire staff. Beginning with the warm reception we received, there was excellent and attentive service and a wonderfully presented lunch. What more could you possibly ask for but a friendly, positive and professional waiter and tasty food? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this fine establishment within this beautiful and iconic hotel.“

“The food and service was excellent.“

“Chai Spot is the ultimate third space, and one of my favorite places in NYC. I am a frequent flyer here. I come all the way from Brooklyn. Every time I have come to do work, create, or savor a delicious homemade chai with a friend, I have always found a seat in the back. I appreciate Chai Spot's intentional atmosphere. Soft music and soft lighting create a soft atmosphere, where friends sit comfortably and enjoy quiet conversations. I cannot say enough positive things about this hidden gem in Lower Manhattan. One of the city's best kept secrets (selfishly, I hope it stays that way!)“

“Amazing staffs and stunning ambience! Steak, lamb and oysters are phenomenal!! Unfortunately, the desert is not extraordinariy, beef tartare ihas caviar, but is missing something. Missed my coffee whth dessert , since it's unavailable. Overall, pretty amazing! I will comeback for tea.“

“My friend wanted Thai Milk Tea but didn't like it at our usual go to. Glad we stumbled upon this place, she said it was so much better. The only thing I would recommend is getting an even lower percentage of sugar. I asked for 50% and it tasted like 100%. I appreciate the very fresh tapioca and the many available seats.“

“My niece and I had a wonderful experience! The server greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome. Afternoon Tea is something we look forward to trying in different places and the Parisian Tea Room did not disappoint. Delicious savories and a great variety of sweets-the mini tiramisu was our favorite. We would definitely return!“
