a NEW review – I was reading the negative reviews of Alice's Tea Cup, and I was shocked...and then I realized some of them were over 2 years old...my friends and I go there all the time (one friend even had a bridal shower there) and we have never had a bad time. The servers greet us like old friends, it is one of the most charming places in New York, and the scones and food overall are unbeatable with the atmosphere...its all sugar and magic at Alice's Tea Cup...
Adorable, fantastic scones! – I am extremely surprised at the poor reviews! I discovered this adorable place approx. 1 year ago. It is intimate and cozy, the furniture is a hodge-podge of mis matched antique chairs. I am not a high tea connoisseur as we we usually just order a simple black tea. However, I am a scone fan and these are the absolute best I have EVER had; light and moist with wonderful flavors all of which are fantastic. My husband loves the banana chocolate chip, last time I had raspberry/coconut and cinammon w... read more
I Like – Great little place. The best tea list I have seen yet--they have many rare green teas. The sandwiches were good and the scones and cookies were delicious. We got one of the combo plates, Mad Hatter, which was enormous even for 2. The place is not cheap, but as a sometimes tea joint, it hits the spot.
not my cup o'tea – well..i am a big tea fun-i highly appreciate tea time and tea places..this one was average. the setting not my style..the waitors keep on getting in and out of the kitchen which is placed right next to the tables..and the relaxing experience becomes a bit stressy. the scone was great, freshly baked and fluffy but you apparemtly have to wait 20'.. and my tea came quite late too. and the place wasn't that busy, just 3 parties or so. pretty pricy too. on my way out i purchased some tea from the retail at the ... read more
Do not waste your time – This used to be a charming little spot. However, on a recent visit, the place was swarming with tourists (thank you SO much Mary Kate and Ashley). We were seated in the airless back room, served expensive watery tea, and gererally ignored. The busboy parked himself at the service station across from our table during his down time and stared at us. We wondered if he was hungry or just trying to pick up a date for Friday night. All in all, this was a miserable experience. This is NYC, there are other t... read more
Will never go back – This is the most horrible tea experience I had EVER. The staff is rude and downright mean. The scone is good, but the sandwiches are really, really bad... worse than your local deli. And it is quite expensive for what it is. I'm not sure what a previous poster was saying about it being much better priced than high tea... for a comparable cost, you can get better food and service at the Palm or Payard.
DO NOT GO HERE... – ...unless you want to get treated terribly. I know it's the busy holiday season, but the service we received was unreal. Our cashier made several rude comments because we preferred a cheaper tea strainer. She then overcharged us significantly, admitted her mistake, but claimed she was "too busy to do anything about it". I couldn't believe it. I thought I had found a great place - but it wasn't worth getting treated like dirt.
This place is great. I don't at all agree with the previous reviewer's comments on the food or the price. I've been a number of times and the food has been consistently good. The crepes and scones were delicious and fresh. The sandwiches were all tasty too. As for the price, it's not at all comparable to expensive high teas. It's much cheaper. The price is comparable to most brunch places in new york. The service is excellent. The servers aren't breathing down your neck, they leave you to enjoy your meal.
Tea Bag Lovers Rejoice! – Alice's Tea Cup is more about the ceremony of tea rather than good tea. If you're not a big tea drinker or enjoy 'fruit teas', then you probably won't notice and will leave relatively content. The food was okay - I enjoyed my croque madame and accompanying salad. (The cucumber sandwhich, however, was awful). As for my tea, it was not hot and evidently, there must have been a fruit tea in the pot before b/c there was a distinct fuity aroma coming from my black tea. Because the cafe is below ground an... read more
