Coffee may have the market in New York City, but that doesn’t mean New Yorkers and folks from New Jersey can’t enjoy a freshly brewed cup of tea every now and then! Here are some of our favorite spots to grab a spot of tea for two.
Bosie Tea Parlor
Care for high tea delights? Go to Bosie Tea Parlor, where they offer tea for one or two and delicate finger sandwiches. There are different packages available from a basic tea for one or a pair, to a Chef’s tea service, featuring premium teas and delectable pastries.

Alice’s Tea Cup
A great place to bring your kids for a Wonderland-themed tea adventure. They have a unique selection of teas, including a wide variety of herbal and caffeine-free teas, a great alternative for children. They also have some delicious scones topped with smoked salmon, and other Alice-infused creations.

Podunk
If you’re looking for a posh afternoon of high tea, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for tea with a side of personality, come to Podunk. An American twist on a classic English tradition, Podunk is unapologetic about its down-to-earth atmosphere. They offer over 18 varieties of tea, and delicious lunches to pair them with. The tableware is mismatched and you order lunch at the counter, but it wouldn’t be Podunk if you didn’t!

Cha-An
The Japanese have a very extensive and beautiful process for serving tea. While we may be a long way away from the island nation, we can certainly try to replicate the experience by going to Cha-An. They offer a wide assortment of authentic green teas in a tranquil atmosphere. They also hold private tea ceremonies for parties who want to get the true “tea party” experience.

If your idea of the perfect day involves a cup of tea sipped in a quiet corner, we think that your idea of the perfect transportation might be one of our Seastreak ferries. They’re relaxing, enjoyable, and the fresh ocean air will help to clear your mind. They’re also so roomy and comfortable that you may never want to get off!
Sea you soon,
The Seastreak Family
