I order almost all my teas from Whistling Kettle. Since I discovered them, I have turned into an addict for their Autumn Haze and Lemon Almond Panna Cotta teas. I have always been pretty selective about the teas I drink and this company goes above and beyond with their blends and choices. Their packaging and shipping is also first class! Please make one more batch of Autumn Haze this season so I can buy you out till next year's.
Nice spot to spend time with family or friends I love their broccoli cheddar quiche,lobster bisque soup and carrot cake for the “afternoon tea” special
Had lunch here with my daughter, and the food was delicious and the service was outstanding! I ordered the Ballstonian sandwich with a pot of Irish breakfast tea. Our server was kind and attentive and everything was excellent. Can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu!

The Whistling Kettle is a beloved restaurant celebrated for its delicious tea and excellent food. The service is kind and attentive, with accommodating staff ready to make adjustments for diners with specific preferences or dietary restrictions, including gluten-free options. The atmosphere is cozy, though the music can be a bit loud due to the glass and high tin ceilings. Every staff member is dedicated to providing a great experience, and the service is noted as amazing.
The variety of tea options is especially impressive, making it a great place to visit just for the tea. The morning and afternoon tea combos are a must-try. Customers appreciate the ability to order teas found on the retail wall that aren't on the menu, with favorites like genmaicha and autumn haze. While the ambiance is lovely, there is only one bathroom, which may lead to a line forming.
Prices are around $25–$30 per person for a meal and tea, which some find a bit pricey, but many agree that the portions are generous and the food is fresh and delicious. The menu offers a variety of options, including crepes, sandwiches, and focaccia, though some customers have experienced minor issues with the quality of the crepes or the occasional soggy garden sandwich. Overall, The Whistling Kettle is a great spot to enjoy a cup of tea and a delightful meal.
