“Amazing time here! It was so cute, food and tea was delicious and my server was so kind and attentive. The owner came by to say hello as well and overall, I had a great time. Would be really cute for a birthday, Mother’s Day, etc.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a great experience at Tea with the Duchess! Honestly one of those hidden gems in NYC that just feels special from the moment you walk in. The space is super cozy, warm, and a little vintage, perfect for a cute girls’ day or relaxing tea date. The afternoon tea service was beautiful ,everything looked so pretty and tasted fresh. The scones, desserts, and sandwiches were all really good, and the tea selection had so many nice options. What I loved most was the vibe it feels calm, a little escape from busy Manhattan, and the staff was really sweet and attentive without being too much. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a cute tea spot in NYC, something different, or just a nice peaceful place to unwind.”

“This place is so adorable!! The decor and atmosphere is inviting and so cozy. You are greeted with a glass of champagne while deciding on your tea of choice. The tiered platter that came out had a fantastic variety of choices! Finger sandwiches that were to die for, clotted cream with scones and so much more. The service was impeccable! Our waitress did a wonderful job of checking on us. This place you must visit! A great afternoon tea with the girls!!”

“❤️ Overview: Overall, my husband and I had a good experience. Our server was nice and the atmosphere was very cute. The food was good, but not enough. We were both still hungry after. The tea was good. Nothing special, but that’s better than bad tea. I don’t know if it’s worth the price ($68) , but it was overall a cute experience. ❤️What was ordered: Afternoon tea with prix fixe menu. ❤️Stand outs: The tea sandwiches were my favorite. The chicken curry one was delicious! I prefer savory food in general so that’s always my favorite. My husband likes savory and sweet! ❤️Would I come back/recommend: No, I wouldn’t come back Maybe, I would recommend for the tea sandwiches”
