You will definitely need a reservation, as it was quite busy when we arrived! It’s a cute, eclectic and incredibly charming place for afternoon tea. Perfect for families and small children, as the Alice in Wonderland theme is prevalent throughout the restaurant. The tea list is extensive, and the scones were perfectly scrumptious. I’m only providing a 4 star rating, as the service was a little slow.

So incredibly cute and eclectic. Definitely make a reservation as we saw a few turned away or given a 40 minute wait. I love all things Alice in wonderland! We got the mad hatter Tower which says feeds two but it was way more than we could eat. It's a bit pricey at $77 but I've been wanting to try it out for awhile. The Strawberry/Apple scone was very good at well as the chicken lapsang sandwich and stardust tea. The blt had very salty blue cheese and the dessert plate wasn't anything special.

My friend and I came in here for Sunday afternoon tea. We did the full classic tea for two set.
The wait was a little longer than we were expecting- was told we would be seated in 20 but ended up taking around 40 minutes.
Once we got seated, we selected our tea choices, sandwich choices and scone choices. As for the tea, the pots were huge and so cute! We were able to get unlimited selection of tea but because the pot was so large we only really got 3 types of tea each. For the food, the scones were really good- they also had a vegan scone which tasted a little more dry than the other scones. For the sandwiches, I really liked the curry chicken sandwich- it was very flavorful. The bottom layer (of the three layer tea set) was cookies and cake. The cookies and cake were a good variety and the slice of cake was huge.
My personal opinion was that the cake ran on the sweeter side but it could be nice paired with a more bitter tea like black tea. I had a more floral one so maybe that was why it tasted sweet to me.
Overall, I liked this spot as a nice hangout place to just sit and have casual tea. It's definitely a good way to spend a lazy afternoon. I noticed they also have a good selection of brunch menu- including sandwiches, so there's also possibility to order those instead of the full tea and to get tea separately.
Wow, I have been looking desperately for a tea house on the Upper East Side and this little gem was hidden right in front of me! The vibes are immaculate, the tea service is darling and a great value for your dollar and every tastes FANTASTIC! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with kindness and I have enjoyed my time here immensely! Will definitely be becoming a regular here!
This was my first time at tea and I absolutely loved it! I went with another person and we had the MadHatter. It came with 2 sandwiches, 3 scones, a additional dessert and unlimited tea for 2. We got the BLT and the smoked salmon for the sandwiches. The BLT was delicious and warm! Loved it. For the scones, we got the Oreo chocolate (loved!), vegan banana (didn’t taste vegan at all so love!), and the pumpkin caramel (loved!). I honestly don’t know which one was my favorite because they were flavorful and not super sweet so they were great. The extra dessert was a mocha chocolate chip cake (other option was a chocolate mousse). The staff was kind and always ready to refill. We were seated upstairs so it was quiet and great to catch up!

White Champagne Raspberry - fruity and delicious!
Amazing selections of teas, food and an amazing service. Thanks for hosting us with so much care.
We enjoyed our afternoon tea here. Definitely a place for tea lovers as they offer a good selection and variety to choose from. The pastries and sandwiches came out really good as well. Love the vibe and interiors as well, it feels like you’re in a storybook setting. Nice service as well.
Such a cute place. Loved the ham and cheese scone. Great tea selection, scones are huge and tasty 😋
I am always ready for trying a place dedicated to tea time, I came here with my family for the first time, we were visiting from Trinidad&Tobago, I must say I enjoyed this cute little place! I love the Alice in Wonderland theme, I felt whisked away to a fairytale for that moment, I enjoyed the fruity notes of the black tea un-birthday! As well as the delicious treats!
Good tea service, not as traditional as other afternoon teas but still quite good. Recommend the curry (coronation) chicken sandwich. Staff were also very pleasant and polite.
