Profile

Rebelling against the notion that tea must be confined to the afternoon, this wonderland serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. All that plus over a hundred teas, a takeout counter, a private party room, and enough tchotchkes to drive any Hatter mad. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Cakes

This relative newcomer to the scene (the cute salon is a great spot for bridal showers as well) specializes in imaginative designs featuring flowers, butterflies, or mod dots. Resident cake designer Collette Foley (who also has her own cake company) prepares bright, poppy creations that are in high demand. From $7.50 a slice.

I love this place. I meet my friends for brunch every Sunday that I am in town and we love it!! The scones benedict and eggs florentine are the best and so filling that we don't want to eat anymore food for the rest of the day! We have even brought our boyfriends with us and now they love it too.

Great Place for Catching Up

I met a friend at the 81st Street location for some afternoon tea and catching up. We each got a pot of tea and two scones (only $10). I got the plain scone and the chocolate scone. They were both delicious. The chocolate scone came out slightly warm so the chocolate in it was slightly melted; definitely a treat! The plain scone was moist and really could be eaten plain (though it tastes great with the jam & cream it is served with). My friend got the pumpkin scone and the blueberry scone. She said they were both tasty--very moist and went well with her tea. (We each ate one scone there and took one home for the next day.) They have quite an extensive tea selection (140+), but our waiter was really helpful in suggesting good ones to go with the scones we picked out. Service was a little slow, but it was nice because we didn't feel rushed. Overall it was a cute place to spend a few hours catching up. It's definitely a girl's spot, but there were families and the wait staff was very attentive to the children there.
