We went for brunch on Christmas Day and got seated right away. The afternoon tea for delightful. The scone was probably the best I’ve had. I forgot to order the crepe Mille cake I wanted so I ordered some for Uber eats delivery later that evening. It was very underwhelming. I got the purple yam and mango flavored cakes and they were very blah. The mango flavor was there but it wasn’t delicious. The purple yam was bland as can be and it had huge lumps in it. The crispy chicken was actually pretty good.
I love this place. I enjoy afternoon tea, so I have been trying places out. I wish that I had tried this place sooner.The food is good. Tea is fantastic, especially the jasmine and G1 tea. I love that tea comes with a free refill within two hours. The staff is friendly as well.I will be back for more.
Friendly staff. Spacious place. Plenty of seats. Clean bathroom. Love the fact that this place opens late. The only thing was a male staff wasnt happy when we asked for additional utensils. Not so sure what the big deal about it since its normal for customers to share a dessert.
Prince Tea House is so incredible and you must go!! I had the rose lover milk tea which was DELICIOUS! It is the perfect place to sit and rest while walking around Manhattan, all the while drinking some delicious tea and having a snack (if youd like). I highly recommend.
Strawberry Shortcake Parfait - 4/10I was not a fan of this parfait. There was a lot of cream, the cake was pretty wet because it was soaked in syrup which also meant the dessert was super sweet. The only upside was the strawberries were sweet, but overall I was pretty disappointed with this dessert.Mixed Fruit Mille Crepe Cake - ?/10My boyfriend got the fruit crepe cake and he really enjoyed the first few bites but said it became a lot later on. There was a LOT of cream and it was also a pretty sweet dessert.Prince Fruit Paradise - 7/10This hot fruit tea was a nice contrast to the desserts because it wasn’t super sweet. The fruit flavor was light and overall it was a solid tea.
We had coffee, tea and dessert at this place and all are excellent and delicious. Our server, Marcelo was quick, efficient and knowledgeable with the menu and what he recommends. Total experience was awesome and would definitely come back and try other food in the menu.
Excellent brunch spot for afternoon tea. They also have a variety of meals such as sandwiches, egg benedicts, and appetizers.They have a great selection of teas, although we pretty much always get the rose milk tea. Hot tea pot lasts longer and comes in a cute teapot so I would recommend that over cold.Desserts are great too!
Excellent service in a lovely environment. You can tell everything is lovingly decorated! There is a ton of teas to choose from, and they are served in beautiful teapots and teacups. The pastries are great as well. Wonderful place to sit and chat and I love that they are open late - its a nice oasis from the bar scene in the rest of the neighborhood.
Nice place to study or grab brunch with friends.I didnt expect it to be a sit-down dining service, but it was nice!I really enjoyed the tea and how the warmer made the tea hot the whole time I stayed there.The servers were very nice and allowed me to move to a different table when I needed to charge my laptop.
Super cute place for dessert. We got a chocolate lava cake, the rose milk tea, and the watermelon sugar. Everything was delicious.On a separate occasion, we got the afternoon tea for two which I thought was well priced and pretty decent.
This place was wonderful! You don’t need to make a reservation for this spot. The host was really kind and seated us immediately. Service was on point—they checked in on us but it was never intrusive and felt like they were trying to rush us anywhere.We ordered the Jardin tea, which was so flavorful. The tea was kept warm on a burner and a delight to sip on. The boba crepe cake was unreal. Look at those layers! Light and fluffy, not too sweet. I’ll definitely be dreaming about this dessert.
Their purple yam soufflé was good but the tiramisu was average. Could’ve used more coffee flavor. The milk tea was not good—tasted like watered down milk with tea flavor. The hot chocolate tasted like grocery store cocoa mix.
Horrible! As a pastry chef I can say that their desserts are not fresh! I had a Mixed fruit Mille Crepes cake and the taste is like frozen! The strawberry is almost white and the kiwi is turning yellow! The service is really good but the food is a disaster! We ordered a waffle as well but it was too salty!
This tea house was totally amazing..from the food, to the decor and service EXCEPTIONAL. It was my first time here and it is one of the best places I have been to. It is open at 12pm and gets full very quickly. Definitely planning to go back there
Wonderful place! Everything was perfect. The service, teas, atmosphere, desserts were all excellent. My family and I loved it. It was pleasantly quiet even on a Friday night. We were seated quickly. Cant wait to go back.
The atmosphere of this place is always nice. They’re checking for vaccinations and make sure you’re spaced out. The service wasn’t the best, we had to wait 15-20mins for someone to come take our orders but the desserts and tea did come out pretty fast. Then to pay our bill was another 20 mins. It took some time to get some attention around there. But the desserts were amazing as always and the rose tea was bomb
Came here for a birthday afternoon tea. There was something missing for this to be a nice experience. Maybe the choice of music (rap) was a bit questionable for what I personally would associate with high tea. Maybe it was the waitresses wearing sweatpants. But this place definitely pales in comparison with its peers in London. The tea itself was good (and free refills) and lots of choice. The small sandwiches, scones and cakes were ok as well. Wasn’t too busy when we were there, but that was Thursday.
The Sugar Boba Mille Crêpe cake is REALLY good.And the good quality tea makes it easier to finish the cake hahah it’s huge. We didn’t get the high the option, but it looked nice on other tables.Definitely coming back
I love this place, I’ve been here about 4 times already. The vibe and the staff is warm and friendly. It’s chic but you wouldn’t believe how affordable! I love the shrimp lollipops and their fries. I definitely recommend getting their milk tea if you want more bang for your buck. They set it up a cute tea pot with a candlelight to keep warm, and you’ll get 4-6 cups of tea out it. The English Toffee is my favorite flavor, but rose and lavender are good too! The pana cotta is my favorite desert there.
We ordered the Yam Crepe cake and the iced rose milk green tea. The cake was perfect not too sweet and the tea was very soothing. Great ambience and friendly staff.
The decor and atmosphere is very nice. Desserts are very pretty, not too sweet. The tea was tasty and served in beautiful cups.
I loved this place! The inside decor was so cute, the afternoon tea was the perfect size and very affordable. The service was very attentive and sweet. Many tea and dessert options. They have these 2 outdoor eating options: the more open patio area and the personal enclosed booths. Perfect tea house with an Asian flare. Cant wait to go back!
Iove prince tea. First time at this location.Great tea, good desserts.The staff is very friendly.The place is nice
We got the fruit toast and two other mille crepe cakes. The crepe cakes were delicious. I think the brown sugar boba crepe cake was a bit too sweet for me but everything else was great!
Very meh. The desserts cost more than lady m but taste much worse. The crepe mille was so thick that it defeated the purpose of it being crepe mille cake. The flavor was ok but the texture was not. Wouldnt go here again
Good service and the passion fruit tea was deliciousDesserts always consistent and nice for groups
Arrived on a Friday at 2pm right before the afternoon rush piled in. Snagged the front curved booth table with my friend and had a lovely time. The staff were super friendly and attentive during our afternoon tea session.Note: Bathroom was clean!
Ordered a drink that is too healthy…Cake is great. Not super sweet. Like it.They have much space inside.
It managed to taste bad while being bland at the same time :(It’s not that it’s not sweet, because I usually like not sweet things.I was really hyped to try this place but the deserts were just really so disappointing 😭
Such a cute place for tea and desserts! Great alternative as well for those limiting their drinking alcohol days yet still want to hangout/go out for a nice time. This place give the classy bar vibe and perfect level music to carry out conversation.
Good stop in for the crepes and the fried snacks. The rest of the menu is pretty standard. Of course the staff are really great! And the ambiance is made for taking photos for your social media.
The food was really good, i loved the squid, it tasted so amazing. And the drinks? MUAH. The service was also really good, they were really nice and made sure everything was goodUPDATE: I went there again today, i door dining open and the place is big! the customer service id just amazing, they are genuine people who truly cares about their customers. its just too good to be true. the food also tasted amazing, no complaints.
Who would have thought coming into a tea house 11pm saturday night. But oh that was a great experience for some alcohol free nights. Pastry and milk tea were great, service was on point and i’d love to revisit!
Went spontaneously after work with a few friends. The tea is phenomenal. If youre looking for something comforting, I loved the Earl Gray Milk Tea. If youre into sweet fruit teas they have a whole section for that. The one I tried that was very smooth was the Iron Goddess Oolong tea. The food is good. We tried a salad, the French fries, and the Boba crepe cake. All were delicious. They do a great job here. Its average priced for a Kips Bay/East Village specialty shop. But expect $20-30/person if you get food.
The English tea setting for three was fun. Finger sandwiches were good. Avocado salad was good. Chicken and Waffles chicken felt like store bought maybe frozen ready made chicken. So they were disappointing. Then I started to wonder if macaroons were purchased also....
This place is so great. They have the most delicious tea I have ever had, going there for afternoon tea is a must 🍵 IG @xxlilly05xx
The place is so cute! They have afternoon tea (for parties of 1 too!). I didnt get it because I already had lunch but it looked amazing and cute! I love all the little teapots here! I got the purple yam Mille crepe cake and an iced lavendar green milk tea. Both were great, the cake wasnt as sweet as I expected which I actually liked. They have an amazing selection of food, desserts, and drinks!! And the staff was amazing and kind 🥰
Great nyc tea house. Not a lot of veggie sandwich options though.
Love this spot for afternoon tea! the milk teas are great.HOWEVER, 3 stars because the last time I was here, service took so long we were there for 2 hours. Also found a small spider crawling on the bottom dish of our tea set where the sandwiches were and completely lost my appetite from that, and have been hesitant to return because of that.
The boba Mille crepe cake was so good that my husband ate it before I good post a pic! They have a variety of drinks including cucumber drink and milk teas. Plenty of hot drinks for the winter and cold drinks for the summer. The place is packed but they also have plenty of outdoor seating. The waitstaff are also friendly, hard working and quick with plenty of advice on what to get. A wonderful place to do a formal tea time.
Extraordinarily beautiful tea shop! I loooved the white tea, and the crepe cake was quite nice (personally I did not like the boba and brown sugar, but the cake itself was amazing). Fantastic place to hang out and talk and drink great tea, will go back often
Very cute place with great dessert selection. Perfect for hanging out with your girlfriend and gossip about life
Had a delightful experience for my belated birthday celebration. This location has honestly became my most favorite because of the customer service. The only other location I have been to is the Astoria location a few years ago. They were really attentive and I was surprised when they came out with my dessert, with a light up candle.This location was the first time I ordered their savory food section, I got the fried chicken burger. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I loved the sauce they had on the side, it reminded me a little bit of a peanut sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it was not dry. The burger itself was a little big for my mouth, so I turned them into chicken tacos. The salad was also fresh, with the balsamic vinaigrette having a hint of smoky flavor.I got the mille-feuille for dessert which was two puff pastries with cream in the middle surrounded by fruits and whipped cream. Though I loved how light it was, I wish they had more cream in the middle or on the side. The cream had a custard like texture which complimented the puff pastry.The outdoor seating arrangement was beautiful, and speaking with the manager, they also have an area where you can reserve for small parties.Price wise, as compared to other afternoon tea places, is on the low-end, so easily affordable (Tea for one included dessert, tea, and finger foods for about $30, for two was about $55). Highly recommend this location if you are in the East Village area and want to indulge in some tea..
It’s like a bridgerton feeling to have a high tea here! Loads of options for Tea and pastries. Ube crepe is fantastic! Matcha green tea fills my soul.
Its a nice afternoon Tea spot.Very busy so my suggestion is make an a reservation before your visit
Afternoon tea - interesting fusion of classic scones, desserts and sandwiches with some Asian influences. Super friendly staff.
Came back for a second round!Their afternoon tea platter is exquisite, and the milky teas are to die for! Also enjoyed their boba cake.
Extremely friendly, and patient staff member took care of our party of 10+ with perfect recommendations. They offer a list of desserts with any dietary restrictions listed out nicely. Great desserts and tea, and very classy chill spot. Will 100% come back here again.
Super awesome place to enjoy brunch with friends. I wish the tables were a little bit bigger because it was kind if tight with all that was ordered. I enjoyed the selection of foods. The jasmine tea is a MUST
Lighter, less sweet, delicate fresh cream based cakes with a wide range of teas. Ambiance is whimsical and traditional yet approachable.They offer a full English afternoon tea service with Asian inspired flavors such as red bean, green tea, mango, black sesame etc in addition to traditional flavors.
The Lavender Milk Tea and Earl Grey Milk Tea Was Very Good...Desserts are a decent presentation but not Satisfying..Cute Place
Came here with my sister and it was phenomenal! It was my first time having the afternoon tea experience and it was pleasantly surprised. I would die for those mini sandwiches again, and next time I’m in the city this is a must go to! Best scones I’ve ever had and the Tea was super refreshing and clean. The woman who worked there was so nice and informative! I forgot her name but shout out to her :)
Kind and prompt staff, relaxing atmosphere, and a great wide selection of food!I came here to chat with a friend, so I only got a drink as a refreshment. But I was pleasantly surprised that the Rose Green Tea was just the right flavor of rose! I’ve been searching for a good rose drink in the city and I think I’ve finally found it. It wasn’t too sweet, and the cream with cookie crumbles on top was a nice little extra to this dessert.I’ll be coming back to try more of their foods and drinks!
(edited now since they say they always want to improve) The owner (or at least whoever conducts interviews) is extremely condescending to prospective employees who arent college students, outright insulting them and their character/circumstances for applying for a service job after graduating. Especially considering the difficulties we all have faced the past few years I find it very appalling to judge others so harshly when they experience tough times and want to work for you. The horrible attitude and treatment of other people for no reason at all absolutely ruins the cute vibe this shop otherwise provides. Id always like to know the kind of people we support with our business, so it feels wrong to not call it out.
Prince Tea House is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. Worth every cent. You can order just about anything on the menu and not be disappointed. Team was really nice and helpful in every way possible. Can not wait to come back again.
Just order regular meal, it’s more cheaper than the brunch special
Great Ambiance, Friendly service, Great Tea. Was disappointed with their Afternoon Tea platter - small 1 inch open face bites that were not very tasty or filling. Their other food and drink like chicken wings, Beef Sukiyaki, desserts were excellent!
My first visit to Prince Teahouse. Adorable setting - it feels like you are in someones parlor. Great place for a lite bite, tea or sweets break. Huge selection of teas! We ordered the afternoon tea for 2. Perfectly served with warm scones and clotted cream, tea sandwiches and petite sweets. The tea pots were kept warm with a tealight under the ceramic stand. Dont let the teahouse moniker fool you. Prince also serves flatbreads, salads, sandwiches and light entrees. Service was super friendly and nice! We will definitely return.
The staff at this location are very attentive and welcoming. The food and service were a 10/10. I recommend the rose lover tea
Prince Tea House is always a cute place to enjoy some tea time with your friends. This PTH is clean and interior is nice. Prices are a little on the higher end for the type of food/drink items on the menu. I’m sure you will still have a good time if you’re just coming here with a smaller group, however if you’re planning an event at this location, hoping to cater to a larger group, please beware.Now why am I giving 2 stars? Lack of professionalism with event planning. PTH has a great ambiance for planning events there that seats maybe ~20 people (could probably hold more but the space can be cramped). My friends and I were planning a bridal shower there because the pictures we saw online were cute and we thought they could do a good job to help us celebrate. We coordinated and kept in contact with a event manager for over a month and we told them the specific date and time we wanted. We had the time slot appointed to us. We told them we’ll meet in person for a deposit placement and to go over details such as ordering what to eat/drink, and checking out the space to see how we can add some more decorations to make the place presentable for our event. Apparently the day before we were scheduled to meet in person, our time slot was given away. How were we notified? Through one text message. When we went there, they said her manager took away our time slot and gave it to someone else who paid the deposit earlier. This should not have happened. We had been keeping in contact with the event coordinator and she knew exactly when we were coming in physically and we had already planned our event on this specific date. She tried to offer us other dates for our event, but we clearly told her we needed that specific date because that’s the date we had already invited people and this was planned in advance on our end to cater to our party. They did not work hard to help us with our solution. Thankfully we had it worked out with another PTH location (under different management), but this PTH did not offer us more help and guidance for this event that was occurring in 2 weeks. They did not rectify the problem that originated with them. The coordinator said her manager had given the time slot away and it wasn’t under her control— this showed me that they are not organized and do not communicate effectively amongst themselves or with their clients.I know they’ve also planned other successful events in the past, but after this experience, I would either avoid this PTH or if you really insist on having it at this location, be quicker about deposits because they won’t honor your appointments as it seems for them it’s a “whoever pays the deposit first gets this slot” (even if you’ve already scheduled an appointment to meet with them to pay the deposit).
Seated indoors on a rainy day though there are outdoor seatings too. Nice decor and good desserts. Brown sugar Boba crepes cake is delicious. Will recommend a visit for sure. The one star short is for the high prices here.
It’s a experience I would say. It might’ve be better if we sat indoor. However, the outdoor tables are not that great with tea marks left on it which can’t be mopped off.And the service wasn’t that great either. They were nice enough to pour the tea for us but kept spilling the tea out of the pot. And the tea cups weren’t spark clean.The taste of the food was just okay. The presentation looks good enough.If you really wanna try, do reserve a indoor table. That should improve your experience.
Nice environment and atmosphere friendly staff . Delicious dessert worth to visit several time . Variety of tea flavors and desserts. My favorite was yam soufflé then strawberry short cake parfait.
Really great spot, plenty of space indoor and outdoor. I had the the tiramisu and iced rose milk tea. Not too bad of a wait and nice staff. It’s a gem in the area for sure
Just Meh. Decor ok, tea ok, service ok. Food ok. Clean looking place, except some stains on fabric on beige chairs: my mom notices this kinda stuff.My criticism is with selections. 1 green salad, among 3 chicken/other proteins, all with mayo. Not fan of mayo very much, so I avoid.Only 1 choice of scone... just not what Im used to if Im going to pay $30 for Afternoon Tea.I had the green salad with apple slices, cranberries (they were craisins) walnuts , Feta, apple vinegarette. I added bacon $1./ strip.
Very picturesque and with great tasting food too!
Very lovely space, friendly staff, and tasty desserts! I’m not a fan of crepe cakes, or boba/bubble tea, but I surprisingly liked their boba tea cake! I had to wait a long time to pay, staff seemed to have forgotten about us, but aside from that, good experience!
Finally, Prince Tea House is in East Village now. This is their 7th location. They have 2 in Brooklyn, 3 in Queens, 2 in Manhattan, and 1 in Philly. I have been most of their locations. East Village interior design is by the far the best. They are famous for their desserts, from mille crepes cake to lava cake and now, they have brown sugar boba crepes cake. MUST order. Dont forget their crabmeat flatbread too! Strongly recommended this location. Cant wait to have indoor dining!
Opened in September 2020, this is a local chain tea house offering savory and sweet snacks and a wide variety of teas. Even the outside seating looks cozy. You can select the sweetness for the tea and their sweet level is about half of that in Starbucks - just for a easy conversion. The mille crepe is delicious, comparable to/slightly better than Lady M but probably 1.5-fold more expensive. A comfortable place to meet with friends for a tea time.
The food and drinks are pretty yummy. They range from very sweet to very adult non-sweet. The staff is very kind as well.
Great food and drinks and not expensive. Definitely try the milk tea if you can, I enjoyed the toffee flavor, but will definitely try other flavors next time. Their service was very good, very professional and friendly
Holy Moly! This place is fantastic! The food is so good and the tea is even better! You have to try the purple yam and brown sugar boba crepes. It taste amazing! The thing that makes this place great is the service though! I don’t know if it’s because they’re greatful for the customers or just this way all the time! They Were attentive enough without being too overwhelming. They have outdoor and indoor seatings. Definitely checkThis place out! It’s really great!!
Everything was so delicious! The staff was great, this place is awesome to go and spend a nice time have some tea and dessert. Can’t wait to go back.
Super cute and yummy afternoon tea. Small portions as expected but well worth it. Great service and love their outdoor dining.
Great place for desserts and tea. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors
This is definitely a must try if you’re in the area. This cute little tea shop provides fast and great service while also setting a cozy and colorful atmosphere. The teas come in a candle burner to keep your tea pot hot. I personally would recommend it only for the tea, the food was a bit bland and dry (we had the chicken katsu sandwich), but the tea really made up for it.
Cozy and friendly staff. Green tea crepe cake I highly recommend trying and the white tea!
Amazing experience here! The staff was wonderful and very attentive. Our waitress Katie was great at explaining the menu and answering any questions we had! Beautiful design and amazing tea. Will be back soon!
Lots of choices with ok taste. Not bad. But nothing very special. Service is basic (asked 3 times have you ordered). Normal level in NYC.
Teas were good but desserts were alright. Maybe if Chikalicious or Spot were too busy, maybe?
Another lovely visit to here. We got the molten lava cake and the delicious bubble tea crepe cake. I also enjoyed the hot Jasmine green milk tea with almond milk :) delicious! (yes, I took a bite of the cake before I took the picture of it)I did notice some more songs that werent sad love songs this time - which made me happy!
Wonderful place that serves everything from wings and mocktails to teas and cakes!
Its a great date spot, or casual conversation spot; whichever. I enjoyed their cakes and iced milk teas. I had the boba and the cheesecake (personally like the cheesecake better, imo).
It’s okay. The menu is not very great. It seems cute. The water cups are from ikea…
Loved the tea, the desert and bright smiles of the staff. Its was a wonderful experience.(I think lights could be a touch dimmer but thats super minor)
Their afternoon tea is a fun and delicious experience. Tea refills are unlimited - definitely worth trying again and again.
Amazing place for tea and sweets and also excellent service just love this place
One of our fav places for a tea and desserts in Manhattan. Would recommend trying out the rose milk tea
Its very chill, friendly staffs and a great atmosphere.
Cool and cozy tea house. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. The food and the tea is awesome. The food menu is not big, but they have a nice selection. The dessert menu is to die for. The presentation is beautiful.The only disappointment was the Afternoon tea menu. Comparing to some other tea houses, the hors doeuvres are very tiny and un inviting for the price we paid and the taste is nothing special. I would suggest just ordering food, dessert and tea from the menu, you won’t we disappointed.Can’t wait to be back.
Excellent tea selection, delicious cakes and cosy setting. The perfect place for tea lovers in need of escaping their routine.
Great food, nice atmosphere. Had our baby shower here and Katie was very helpful. Broke down the event so nothing was missed.
Had such an amazing experience here last weekend. They even made adjustments for my food allergy. We got the tea for two and it had so many options. On top of that we ordered bacon eggs Benedict. So delicious. I highly recommend this place for a date or girls day!
This place use to be great, but the customer service has been awful lately. The workers who greet you at the front are so unwelcoming now and have an attitude. It is a turn off, but the food and tea are great. I’m a regular here and won’t stop coming, but it is super disappointing watching one of my favorite places turn into a mean atmosphere.
Aesthetically pleasing, definitely worth visiting at least once. Not sure if would visit again.The hot tea (with/without milk) is served in traditional tea pot and cup set. The milk tea are pretty colorful (pink/purple) and surprisingly taste good.Easily pay $10 per tea and another $10 for a desert. So you pay for the pictures and not really for the tea itself.
Cute little tea shop that just opened. Only had the fries and a wellness tea. Attentive staff and reasonable prices.
Went for afternoon tea because well we love tea and food bites. The tea menu was extensive and both teas ordered were very good. My issue comes from the finger foods served. In past places we have left stuffed and satiated, here we were searching for round 2 of the meal after leaving to fill us up. The waitress seemed confused by the whole concept and our order. Overall it wasnt bad but it wasnt amazing either. Howerver it is far less expensive then the benchmark for afternoon tea, the Pierre
Very friendly and helpful staff. Go William. He showed me which brand of oat milk they use and even showed me the ingredients. Props. Amazing purple yam souffle with ice cream. Must try. That is my go to desert. They have a list of gluten free, vegan, gelatin free items that I am also sharing. Comfortable seating and spacious relaxed vibe.
We got here 11:30 pm and they said seating is closed. So we asked for take out and surprisingly even the kitchen was closed since 11:15 pm. Atleast update on google, shouldnt even say 12:00 am if you cant serve people. Highly disappointed. Will never come back.
Cutest restaurant and the food is amazing! Try their fruit toast and milk lavender tea.
This is a sweet dessert & tea place. The menu is a little pricey but the food quality is good and the staff is courteous here. My best friend and I enjoyed a good after dinner time here in one of the outdoor booths during a rainy night. It was a fun memory that I will cheerish. I look forward to come visit on a not rainy day again!
They actually messed up on my order but the lead server came out and apologized profusely and gave us a 10% discount and free tea. I thought that was very kind of her, we wouldve been okay just waiting for our cakes. So shout out to her.Otherwise the food was great. Cakes were yummy and I enjoyed my time there.
I loved this place, me and my girlfriend did the afternoon tea for two. The finger snacks were delicious the scone was fresh out the oven and loved the Green Tea Creep Cake. The portion was perfect for the two of us and the milk teas were super delicious and refreshing. The ecstatic was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Recommend for brunch and a cacual outting.
This place is Awesome!! The food is good and staff is Awesome!!! The ice rose tea is EVERYTHING!!
This spot has been on my radar for a while, and we visited their East Village location for afternoon tea delight during the summer!The inside was clean, modern, and yet cozy. It was a Friday afternoon, so it was not too busy. They had another room in the back to the left, near the bathroom. You might think of afternoon tea as a couple or group thing, but you can do that all on your own too. They have two small tables in the middle, where a patron can come here and have her/his afternoon tea by him/herself, taking the time to do self-care and self-love.We ordered Afternoon Tea for Two, which comes with choices of tea. They had loads of tea options, and I asked if there was any restriction of what kind of tea we can select for their Afternoon Tea, and she said we can choose whatever we wanted! So, I went with Prince Passion Fruit Tea, and my hubby went with Earl Grey Milk Tea. The teapots came with white stands that held a tea light inside, to keep the teapot hot. How awesome is this?The Prince Passion Fruit Tea tasted like a hot fruit juice! VERY sweet, which was a bit of surprise. I wonder if we could’ve request the sweetness level? Although it was sweeter than I prefer, but it had a strong fruity flavor, so was still pretty nice. Earl Grey Milk Tea was sweet too, but not crazy sweet. I really enjoyed this one!Their afternoon tea seems to be made to order, as it takes a while for each of them to come out of their kitchen. They looked great we were excited to try all of them. They had Finger Sandwiches, Scones, and Assorted Desserts. They were all tasty, some hit and miss, but mostly great. I wish if the scones are served with clotted cream...After we finished the Afternoon Tea, my hubby really wanted to try their Ube Mille Crêpes Cake, so we added that to our order. It was really creamy and tasty!We had a really nice afternoon tea experience here. Our server, Michelle, took a great care of us, and we also got to meet their assistant manager, Katy, who was also very lovely. The price is very affordable and the amount is just right! Will fill you up nicely, without being stuffed. We will be sure to return for more!
Went twice and worth to visit the place again and again
Really very nice place 😍
What a unique ambiance paired with a true tea party experience while still having some classic eats. They have something for everyone, even for younger foodies. My toddler enjoyed the curly fries, finger sanwishes, and passion green tea flower pot iced tea. Must try!!
Went here with my bf yesterday and was rlly disappointed. The service was awful and it seemed pretty targeted which was not a great feeling at all. There were a pair of girls who were being checked on every now and then but we weren’t even given a typical water refill? Not to mention I saw a server spending her work time chatting with a friend which I don’t mean to be a Karen but at least service us to keep it professional?
Love the ambiance of this place. great place for a warm cuppa tea esp in the winter. Mille crepes are as good as lady M!
This place is a cute spot, the tea is absolutely delicious. I attended a bridal shower at Prince Tea House
Had the Yam Crepe cake and Rose Oat milk Iced Tea, subtly sweet. This place has a victorian interior.
Just had an absolutely phenomenal experience here! Brenda was a godsend, and her dessert/tea recommendations made my day (if not my entire week!). Will of course be coming back, and telling everyone I know to visit as well. Love the team and the vibe! 🥰🥰🥰
Pretty good. Chill vibe
First time at a tea house like this! Went with my cousin and sister. It was such fun! Definitely want to find something like this near where I live since I’m not from NY. Loved the matcha and earl grey milk teas we got. The tea set that it came in is so cute! I really need to get some myself. I wasn’t in love with the Pâte à Choux but the other things we ordered: Green Tea Mille Crêpes Cake, Strawberry Shortcake Parfait, and Molten Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream were really good! The Lava Cake mixed with the ice cream was so good! Def would like to come back to try the other items on the menu.
Today I came across Prince Tea House. The staff are lovely, welcoming and amazing. On top of that the menu is exquisite. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves and will recommend to all.
Everything was delicious. The purple yam crepe cake was a surprise hit!
The salmon BLT and cucumber cooler are…WOW! TRY THEM!
Such a cute experience. I would recommend.
Fast, courteous service. Great late night dessert spot.
Excellent service and amazing food. The fruit hot tea… the best!!!
Delicious tea 🍵 delicious dessert 🥧 🍡 🍧
So glad a new Prince Tea opened in East Village. Outdoor dining only at this time. Staff are super nice and observe safety protocols. No physical menus, you scan a QR code to see it on your phone. Hand sanitizers at every table. Really nice spot for our post dinner dessert!
The tea selections and options are always great. They have great selection of food, snacks ,na deserts depending on your mood. Its a great day place or hang out together place.
Best tea place Ive been too so far, very cute and fancy, almost princess-like lol. Great to go with a group of friends, staff are just as humble
Friendly and gracious tea and pastry service in pretty china ... The fruit teas at least are tastefully fortified with additional flavourings to enhance their fragrance ... Of particular note is the impressive-looking high tea service for two, $55 ... Dining provided indoors and outside -- we opted for the safer outdoor arrangement and were decently accommodated ... Reservations only taken for party of 8+ ... They also offer private event rental, indoors and outdoors, for a reasonable fee and flat rate per person
Cute atmosphere. Great teas. Dessert disappointing. Will go back to try tea service however.
Good cheap tea service with tea cakes, tea sandwiches, mimosas and chicken and waffles. Who knew?
Fantastic selection of tea and just as good a selection of cakes. Staff are amazingly friendly
The staff discriminated against me a my group. Had to wait for two other groups to be seated even though they got there after us. Would not recommend this location if your Hispanic check out the one in Astoria. Definitely a more diverse crowed.
Lovely Western tea shop. Bright & clean vibe, and I liked their scones too. Perfect way to spend a weekend afternoon.
Amazing place, the tea is great, food is great, price is great, staff is great. No complaints at all.
Amazing customer service, so careful with Covid precautions and of course delicious dessert and tea!! We will definitely be back!!
Really nice ,but took too long to get our tea.
The food and atmosphere is beautiful an the staff are the kindest 10/10 💞
What a lovely tea house! Both indoors and outdoors are spacious and beautiful. We shared a pot of milk tea and a slice of cake between the two of us. Will be back soon!
Great spot - in the middle of East Village. Great for an afternoon snack
The servers pick and choose who they want to give good service too. Didn’t attend to us at all till the end when they asked if we wanted the check. Unless you’re just girls don’t come here.
Good food, kept trying to call our waiter. Idk if he was ignoring us or if we were too low. Either way great time and would go again
Food was good very pretty presentation but both times I have gone now the service was very slow, at one point the waitress did not come to us for an hour it felt like we were forgotten. We were outdoor and this happened two days ago in the afternoon.
Best service!!! I’m in loveee with the milk tea. Purple yam crepe is amazing! The girls here are so sweet (brenda and Annie).
Their shrimp lollipops is so delicious. The salads are amazing and so are the mocktails. I highly recommend this place
What a charming place to have a delicious decadent dessert. Will return here for sure. Loved the friendly faces and good service.
Definitely come try the cake, especially boba crepe cake. Tea is so aromatic and place is so aesthetic. Service is always amazing!
I have already visited Prince Tea House Astoria location in 2018 and i loved my experince there. What i liked the most were the interiors and the desserts.I am excited for the opening of their 7th location on September 4th and wish the best of luck!Excited for the media/influencer preview event on Sunday August the 31st.(August 29th)
Purple yam mille crepe and lavender oolong tea made the best night cap for a spontaneous date night. Shout out to the staff for their great and friendly service.
Great dessert and service. Only thing I didn’t like was it can get loud. Regardless still a cute spot.
Great spot for tea and dessert
Me and my friend tamia went for evening tea and it was absolutely elegant and affordable! We loved the sweet dishes and staff is very friendly and made sure that our evening went great.
Nice cakes, not too sugary.We shared the tea, it was good for 2-3 people.
Pastries were really good! Mochachino was very good with latte art. Nice ambience.
Came here with girlfriends for afternoon tea.We ordered afternoon tea. I got white tea and it was very tasty. Snacks were not impressive but it was ok.Our waitress was very kind and helpful.
Everything was immaculate!! The teas here are so good we tried to buy some to make at home. Unfortunately, you cant
Loved it. The staff are so sweet and helpful. The drinks are good and refreshing. The food is great too.
The food was ok, but the tea and deserts were amazing. It was such a sweet place and I loved it.
The food as well as the ambience was quite nice!
Their work speaks for itself, and their customer service is top-notch too.

2022-04-04My family planned a beautiful surprise bridal shower in the private room and it was the best tea party experience we could ask for!! 💓 Katy was wonderful to work with and so accommodating with our big party of 20 people — from planning the event to the day of festivities (including food set up and decorations), we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. The sandwiches and dessert were so delicious and I was so happy to see (toffee) milk tea on the menu! I can’t wait to return to try their outdoor seating when the weather is warmed. This is definitely such a cute place to have a memorable celebratory experience! Thank you Prince Tea! 🥰

2022-07-03This Prince Tea House is definitely a step up from the Flushing location (okay granted every other Prince Tea House is a step up from the Flushing location). Its very cute and fanciful and the prices are more than fair! I absolutely LOVED the scones. It was so extremely buttery and delicious with a crunchy shell but surprisingly soft interior. Went so well with the butter and jam 🤤 The rest of the platter, however, was just okay. Im almost 100% sure that the macaroon is from Costco too.

2022-03-02Fun spot for a casual-luxurious hangout or catch up with a friend. It’s English afternoon tea with an Asian twist. A very wide selection of interesting drinks and food. This is the better of the two Manhattan locations — a bit classier. I’ll be back!!Oh, the clotted cream is delicious.

2022-02-13Very organized and efficient staff. Food and tea here are decent, fair prices. But even having ordered a full meal, they only offered plastic utensils. With one toilet for the entire place, very frustrating on a busy Saturday, I waited in line for 15 minutes to use the bathroom. This spot is very much a hang out for college students, all dressed up for tea parties. Clientele was 90 percent female, between the ages of 18 and 22. Poor choice of music obviously catered to the clientele, yet seemed very out of place with the rest of the vibe. Lighting is very bright, feels like a school cafeteria. Overall, I found this place too cheesy to ever go back.

2022-03-23I had heard about the tea house from social media & have always wanted to try it, I was not disappointed! When we got in there was a little wait but the hostess was kind & pleasant which always makes waiting easier. I had macaroons and their ear grey my girlfriend was in the mood for chocolate and had hot chocolate, chocolate raspberry & pink prosecco. We both had a wonderful time. Our waiter was also very sweet & attentive which added to our experience. I would 100% recommend this place, especially for tea and dessert after a big lunch.

2022-05-16We went here post-dinner and it was a great place to hang out with friends over dessert. The purple yam soufflé was a unique and subtle flavor. The teas were so delicious! We got the Verbena Orange Mint tea and the Rose Lover milk tea, which I highly recommend. I thought the rose might be too overpowering but it was absolutely perfect.

2022-07-06Lovely place. Rose milk tea is one of my favorites. The afternoon tea setup was great for two. The ambience was relaxing. It is well kept and clean. I love this location like the Queens location. We were lucky to go in when it wasnt busy.

2022-01-15A very good place for high tea! Definitely recommend it. It has good ambience, ample seating and the high tea is worth its price. Its less expensive than other high tea places, they have vegetarian option for the sandwiches (I took the cucumber sandwiches instead of the meat ones) and scones were good, too.

2022-02-14This was such a bright spot on a rough day. I got an afternoon tea tray and the food was delightful. The scone was a plain scone served warm with apricot jam and clotted cream and was absolutely fantastic. All of the finger sandwiches were tasty and the wasabi deviled egg was a unique combination of flavors I enjoyed. The desserts were excellent and I particularly enjoyed the mini lava cake. The staff were very friendly and helpful and took good care of me.

2022-02-22Absolute gem of a place in the heart of East village.If youre looking for an ideal spot for a first (or even 100th) date, this location will not disappoint. There is a lovely selection of teas, appetizers, and desserts here that are all delicious.The afternoon tea set is one of the best Ive ever had — for the quality and aesthetic, the price is unbeatable.Prince Tea House is one of my favourite tea houses in the city, and this location is no exception.
