The 10 Best Tea Houses in New York, New York

Here is a review from an user.

This is my new favorite boba shop! The tea has a rich, authentic flavor, and the tapioca is delicious. Even my mom said that she loves this tea more than the other stores (she had the ice cream milk tea)! The staff is also friendly so that’s a plus. If you’ve never been here, you have to check it out! You’ll be hooked ^_^

This tea shop is really amazing! I tried tea tasting here, it’s a quite wonderful experience! The tea master will introduce a lot about the tea and tea history when tasting. And what’s the most important, the tea is amazing! Each bite will have a different feeling! I felt relaxed and chill in the process. The atmosphere is great too. They have some antiques and beautiful porcelain, really nice! I love the vibe here!

Lovely small juice bar with many delightful smoothies and bubble teas. The avocado smoothie (medium or large) was delicious and filled me up almost as a meal in itself. Grab a smoothie and head over to the park and enjoy the day!

I’ve walked by here so many times and today I made it a point to stop in and visit . I’m so glad I did . I had the mango peach tea and it was delicious . The lovely French speaking lady couldn’t have been any sweeter . Very clean space with minimal decor . The presentation of the tea was beautiful and made you want to savor every last drop . Even though it was close to closing time I was not rushed in any way . I’m anxious to read about their products and services they offer . Thank you for a wonderful first time visit Maison Beljanski ;)

Amazing Açaí smoothie, just as fresh and tasty as the ones made in Brazil where they originate. Very clean store also.

Simply delicious

Amazing and worth the wait. And we def did wait. minutes in line. But the tea was so nice and the customization was spot on. We sampled it and when I wanted less sugar he fixed the tea immediately for me. It was really nice. I can say happily I would come back and wait again.

After reading lots of reviews, I went to Té Company with high expectations and I was not disappointed. The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. I selected a tasting of three oolong teas and selected the pineapple linzer for my first food pairing. The linzer was everything I hoped it would be after reading glorious reviews about it. I wish I had bought some more to take home to my husband. I also had other wonderful foods seen in the pics I’ve included here. All delighted my palate. My server (I believe his name is Gordon) was very informative about the teas as well as which foods paired best with each. He then suggested a tea sampler package to take back to Boston. 5-star plus service! Thank you. I’ll definitely be back to Té Company.

very very small intimate place to get matcha. its super authentic, they got different kinds of matcha to pick from based on your preference. they make the drinks in front of you which is very calming 😌

That was seriously one of the best meals I have had in so long. It tasted like all the things I wish I could make for myself but don’t have the time or ability to. It was healthy but didn’t lack any of the flavor that typically healthier options in the city do. The pineappled sweet potato’s and miso glazed vegetables were out of this world, and the Onsen egg was so delicious poured on top of the dish. / will be back ASAP! The owner was so kind and passionate as well! This is truly a unique and delicious spot

A very calm and beautiful tea place, selling Kinto’s tea wares, nice handcrafted Japanese plates, cups and trays, also variety tea leaves. Didn’t get a chance to sit down and have a tea there but bought tea leaves and butter cookies for to go. Will definitely come back again.

AND it's begun, this DD has started substituting Chai with Vanilla Spice. Just use the CHAI syrup! I ordered one a few days ago (a guy made it) and it was PERFECT. Today, I got a VANILLA SPICE (a girl made it). Just give the customer what they order.

The best tea shop in NYC. The staff is incredibly kind and show such gratitude to every patron. The tea is delicious. Wonderful atmosphere

Cute, tiny, hip café. Got a random % discount. Thanks! Delicious Coconut milk Coquito and Mocha. Blasting punk and indie music so if you're not into that, maybe just sit outside and enjoy pedestrian watching.

One of my favorite neighborhood places and there’s no too many natural spots around. The owner is very kind. I always order different things but my favorite is the lox of love and a customized green juice or chai tea latte. Accommodations can be made easily and everything tastes great. It’s a quaint spot to dine in.

Very minimal space with a clean decor. Not your conventional chai here but it is incredible - full and smooth with the right amount of spice; brewed in house. Some of the best I’ve had.

Upper west side oasis. Peaceful and calming tea house serving strictly Chinese teas with a wide selection. Prices are $ per pot and seating is all on the floor. It is very quiet and calming and great opportunity to try a unique tea from china. Most teas will be able to be steeped many times allowing you to easily spend an hour relaxing. Definitely recommend for a unique tea experience in nyc. There is no food offered or allowed in.

Great fruit tea! One of the best I had around NYC. They freshly squeeze some fruits so you feel the texture and extra freshness. I would recommend to use their space better. There’s a piano that takes the whole space. Also, the counter is a little dusty and overcrowded. A little space management and extra hygiene would push this great spot to the next level! Recommended!

This place is awesome! I was visiting from Chicago and happened to find it because it was down the street from my hotel. I could have spent way longer than I did browsing the books and enjoying my coffee. The selection of queer facing, social justice leaning, activist based books was incredible and I especially LOVED their kids section! If I lived in New York, this would definitely be a regular hang out for me and I'm excited to come back the next time I'm visiting the city.

I was bummed to see that this place only has about reviews but I am glad to help spread the word! It seems as though this may still be somewhat of a hidden gem. Full disclosure: I have never been to their location but we have ordered them in Uber Eats multiple times. These are the best Bao buns I have ever had - they travel very well and come in amazing little cardboard boxes that makes saving them for later very easy. They have three types of buns: Baked Bao - essentially a little puffed pastry cake with bao filling. The ones we have gotten have sugar on top - which is an amazing twist! Gua Bao - traditional steamed bao hat seem to be perfected. The Fried Chicken Bao is probably my favorite. Onigiri Rice Bao - these are almost like sushi, where steamed rice is used as the "bun". I have only ever tried the Chicken Curry variety and it is a nice change of pace. I love that this place offers multiples types of buns. For your first time I would recommend buying a couple of each kind. You get two per order and they are reasonably priced so it is easy to go overboard. A note on dessert: I am not a huge fan of Matcha, but their baked Matcha Bao is definitely something to try. It was a nice way to end the meal. PLEASE try this place. I would love to see them expand and open a second location. Hopefully I can stop by in person someday soon!
