Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in TriBeCa

Had a lovely time here. Place was interesting with Christmas decor. Service was impeccable and attentive. Entrance was inconspicuous and looked like a normal townhouse if you weren’t particularly looking for the place. Recently learned it’s attached to The Inn at Irving Place with rooms on the second floor. They have a coat check. Seating is a bit tight but comfy if you are seated at the two-seater small sofa instead of the other tables (more for groups from what I’ve seen). Had the afternoon tea service and chose the tea pairings (each paired with each course). I would recommend if you want to try other tea flavors you’re not sure about or not tried. Was never a fan of Earl Grey but this place changed my mind, enough so that I ended up purchasing a canister of it for my personal use. Might return again one day.

What a fun experience! The hot chocolate was delish - favorite was the hazelnut. The scone trio was so good and probably the best I have ever had, very moist. The clotted cream - nom! The highlight - the service was phenomenal! Truly the best! I think he called himself troublemaker - but was far from it. I highly recommend going - it was awesome!

Terrific experience for a party of four - the food and drinks were all excellent in a lively setting. The decor is beautiful and service was very good. Appetizers and drinks are a bit pricy compared to the mains but since everything was of high quality we were fine with it.

Awesome atmosphere, great food, and the staff was fantastic. Special shout out to Khalid during tea service and Lauren at the bar who made one of the best ever holiday specialty drinks, the “Holiday Spirt”. The doorman was especially helpful while hailing a cab and assisting with our holiday shopping bags.

Wonderful service. Wonderful atmosphere. Wonderful Anniversary celebration.
