Tea Restaurants in New York, NY

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

“Afternoon Tea service was excellent“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 .

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“This is a stunning tea room with baccarat crystal chandeliers, a nice selection of teas, finger foods that are not just pretty but actually delicious, especially the scones (not dry at all, more like a dense moist shortbread). We sprung for a bottle of champagne and caviar as well. A really nice relaxing, luxurious way to spend an afternoon away from the typical midtown experience. I will plan on coming back sometime to visit the bar maybe before a show. It's beautiful.“

“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. 😋“

“A cute cafe with beautiful pastries that taste just as good as they look. The pastries were both visually appealing and delicious.

The space inside isn’t very large, but there is seating available if you want to sit down and enjoy your coffee and dessert. A lovely spot to stop by for a sweet treat.“

“My mother and I had breakfast here and I am thankful that Jessie was our server. She brought extra joy to our morning and contributed so much laughter to our meal. When I told her I was picking up my wedding dress after breakfast, she gave us complimentary champagne and pastries to celebrate. I cannot wait to pop in and see her again! Thank you Jessie for being so kindhearted and going out of your way to brighten our day.“

“The food and service was excellent.“

“Buenísima atención, a pesar de ser mala con el inglés :B todo muy ricooo!“

“This sweet little tea room was amazing! Vanessa was the perfect server and so kind and attentive. The croque monsieur was tasty and the mini pain au chocolat was delicious. If you want a little taste of Paris in NYC, this is your place! We will be back!“

“GREAT HERBAL TEA. CHAI TEA IS SLIGHTLY OVERPRICED BUT THE PLACE IS GREAT AND STAFF IS GREAT. THE LIGHTING IS PERFECT TO CHILL. THEY EVEN HAVE A CLEAN RESTROOM. IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR FRIENDS WITH YOU, THERE ARE CARD GAMES AND BOARD GAMES TO BORROW. THEY HAD BEAUTIFUL DRESSES FOR SALE AT FAIR PRICES EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T AFFORD ONE.“

“Our server Shalim went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing tea for our daughters birthday. One of our family members has a rare food allergy and he made sure he could enjoy the experience with us. The sandwiches were delicious and scones with clotted cream were delicious. The tea is brewed to perfection. A lovely experience!!“
