Warrent SattFebruary 2, 2014The staff is great - friendly and knowledgable. And the tea is delicious. Stop I'm for loose leaf, they offer tastings or sit down in the back for food and tea to stay. Perfect date activity.
Jordan KongMarch 16, 2013Get your complimentary tea tasting at the bar. 10% discount for students! Also, heard that the vanilla scone and earl grey float are delicious.

Veronica SanchezMarch 23, 2016One of my favorite tea spots with a pretty large selection of loose teas. You can sit down for table service and enjoy a pot (or three), or browse around for some tea or pots to take home.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
LorenJuly 28, 2015Elegant relaxed tea & scones destination, and a great place to pick up a lovely tinned tea gift - for under $10 you can get a fancy looking gift in a container they'll want to save. Or treat yo self.
Brandon F.July 23, 2016Their selection of teas is vast. Grabbing freshly brewed versions is a treat whether it's hot or cold. Their menu is something to be noticed as well. Nice food and treats.
Angie AldanaAugust 19, 2018Such an adorable tea shop! The staff is amazing! They do one tea tasting per person which really lets you see the great quality tea you are buying! Love this place ❤️
Grace KwanJuly 31, 2016Harney makes a ton of different teas, but my favorite is the Paris. There's a cute sit-down area in the back where you can order high tea and various snacks.
Jimmy LawlorAugust 19, 2013Great tea & fantastic scones. The service leaves lots to be desired in both the tea room & cafe. Kudos to the cafe guy in the hat for trying, but everyone else there seemed 'over it'- Try the Assam, Ceylon or Paris tea! (or all three in one visit!) The vanilla scones are to die for, literally. Come w/ a friend because you'll feel too guilty devouring 2 (per order) in 1 sitting.
Nina YiamsamathaNovember 20, 2013You don't have to be a fan of flavored black tea to love the Soho Blend (chocolate, vanilla, and coconut!). It was specially made for this location and it smells like happiness.
Stephanie KleinFebruary 18, 2016Shop in the front, party in the back (tea sold and tried in the front of the store; in the back, cafe it up... Also, "Paris Tea" is a dream.
The Chai Latte comes in a teapot big enough for two large serves. It is great value if you split with a friend.- The Paris, East Frisian & Earl Grey Supreme were my former loves, recently discovered the Queen Catherine blend and I'm head over heels. Try it with cream and a little sugar!
Judy CariJanuary 3, 2016Check in and taste various teas at the tea bar. Personal favorites are Paris tea, Tower of London, Li Shan and Ali San tea.- Linda ChowOctober 10, 2016Great place to get loose or pre-packaged tea for yourself or as gifts. Love the tearoom in the back; the vanilla scones are my favorite!
Amazing! So many teas and knowledgeable staff. And there's a 10% student discount. Get the earl grey ice cream from the tea lounge on a hot day.
Love this tea store that carries tea from all over the world. My favorites are the Paris and the Holiday blends.
Tea For Me PleaseMay 5, 2013The wall of tea tins is so large that the staff need a rolling ladder just to reach them all! I loved that the staff was not pushy at all. Their tea lounge is a wonderful place to take a load off. Read more
IsaMarch 11, 2017Great classic and creative tea selection! You can have a tea tasting of two teas of your choice, if your having trouble deciding.
This is where I fell in love. You can find the most amazing earl grey ice cream here. The tea flavor is strong, with a delicious caramel-y taste. Decor is cute, but seats fill up fast. Read more
Christina HagopianDecember 19, 2013The Li Shan oolong is a rare treat. Pair it with their gravlax w/ green tea cream cheese rice crackers in their tea room. Love.
Cozy place for tea time! Superb tea selections! Stanley's Blend (Darjeeling/Assam), SoHo tea blend, and Paris tea blend are excellent teas you should try.
- It's Harney Heaven. Visit the "bar" and get one free tea tasting - and surprise! there is a cafe in the back with tea snacks (gluten free and vegan varieties!)
The white tea selections, iced, are perfect for those hot summer days! Plus, there's only a small handful- making your decision a bit less overwhelming.
Cute little cafe in the back, and actual space to sit. Little biscuits and the like if you want something with your tea.
Josephine SonAugust 19, 2012Tea paradise and great refuge from the craziness of Soho! Go to the back and get a lovely pot of tea & the ham/gruyere scones!!
SPE CertifiedMarch 13, 2013Visit the Harney & Sons location in Millerton, NY, for the perfect combination of delicious tea and an SPE-certified meal! Read more
S WMarch 15, 2015The vanilla scones and Jasmine tea are delicious! It's a great spot for a small snack, and for tea drinkers.
Eliza OsbornJanuary 20, 2015Scones, clotted cream, and the tea, of course. I had a Darjeeling that was brewed perfectly, no bitterness.- Robyn GrierMarch 4, 2015Good value blended looseleaf black teas---Scottish afternoon & several earl grey varieties. Attentive service at the tea buying counter.
Hunter ThomasApril 2, 2015Wide selection of teas with helpful staff for finding gifts or personal selections. Three free tastings each day.
Loose tea is an amazing deal, and you can ask them to brew you a sample cup of anything you're curious about!
Amy RobertsonFebruary 22, 2015A good place for quality loose leaf, but the lounge is always really busy on weekends
Sydney LimApril 20, 2016Don't get the matcha latte. I usually get my drinks unsweetened and made with any non-dairy milk and I've never tasted anything so remotely close to cardboard before this.
My friends and I all love the Paris tea! Nice staff and it's great to be able to sample 2-4 kinds of tea at the bar before making a purchase.
Madm FiaSeptember 25, 2014Lovely selection of quality teas and tea paraphernalia and there are usually samples to try.
Michael HaaralaApril 2, 2017Amazing loose leaf tea -- and they let you have a complimentary sample of any kind you want!
Lana WangMay 6, 2014So cheap and so delicious! 10% student discount! Got 4 ounces of really yummy tea for under 6 dollars.
Sisi ZhuAugust 6, 2014Ask for a sample cuppa anything from the wall - prices for many teas are just $3 for 2oz, enough for 15 cups
Allison EspositoMarch 21, 2014Great selection of herbal tea flavors- mango, strawberry-kiwi, and an herbal vanilla are recommended.
BollareApril 25, 2011A Mecca for tea lovers, the shop and cozy cafe offers dozens of blends available for tasting. The Earl Grey infused macaron is a must try...- Lucas VogelsangMarch 3, 2013Get the scones! The scones with cream and jam are to soft, warm and sweet. They are freshly baked.
AlekseyJanuary 7, 2016You like teas? Come here for the large selection of good, great and rare teas.
Ayaka NonakaNovember 16, 2012Pair your favorite tea with a macaron and relax at the lounge in the back.
11 HowardAugust 16, 201611 Howard hotel guests receive 10% OFF their total purchase at Harney & Sons when showing their room key. Restrictions may apply.
Tea house in the back. Get their iced chai latte - better than Miansai, surprisingly.
