Profile

Rebelling against the notion that tea must be confined to the afternoon, this Upper East Side 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

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., 8 a.m.—3 p.m.

Cakes
This relative newcomer to the baking scene is known for its imaginative designs featuring flowers, butterflies, or mod dots. Resident cake designer Betina Estela specializes in painted-on designs. From $8 per serving; minimum $300.

Recommended Dishes

The Mad Hatter (a pot of tea, two sandwiches, two scones, and a dessert), $30
