pumpkin with caramel glaze scone is a must try! and you have to have the salted caramel with chocolate scone, too!

Better scones in the city (everything is relative), great tea selection, but service is not that good, somehow feel like we didn’t get the same treatment as other tables (non-Asians patrons).

ROOIBOS BOURBON. You'll thank me, I promise. In fact, get a bag to go, too.
Marta CheckoMarch 30, 2013
This place is amazing but randomly gets really crowded and it might take 30-40 minutes to get a seat. Call early to reserve seats!

The ambiance is absolutely delightful, there are hundreds of teas to choose from, and the pastries are tasty!

Tea was great but food was eghhhhhhh

NYC [Eat] Delicious scones -- try not to eat too many before your brunch arrives. If you're feeling whimsical, ask to be dusted in fairy powder when you walk in.
Joan HuangAugust 11, 2013
Ask the hostess for an upstairs table in the windowed main room. The other areas can seem dark and cramped.

Let your inner 90 year old woman out here and order the Mad Hatter. The age old debate still remains though - with milk or without milk?
Farrah AlSebaiheenJuly 24, 2015
The scones are yummy and super fresh!
Jazlee GomezDecember 30, 2015
Everyone was so nice here ^^ I absolutely loved it!

Excellent tea selection. Amazing scones (buttermilk is my fave) with clotted cream and jam. Get the Little Nibble for an old-fashioned tea time. (Tons of food.) Read more

If you happen to be in NYC during autumn, DO try the Pumpkin Caramel Scone. It's a piece of heaven.

What little girl doesn't dream about tea parties and little sweets? Parents, don't fret! There is a handful of hearty meals that you can enjoy too!

Magical experience if you like the story...one of three "chapters" in Manhattan.
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 10, 2015
Always along wait to get in, but if you manage you won't be disappointed.

Bebe JeanneMay 12, 2013
Love it. Get the mad hatter special if u have two or more people!
Amy RobertsonFebruary 5, 2015
Perhaps a bit juvenile in style but legitimately wonderful tea (sparrows sorrow) and scones
Debra ParmaAugust 29, 2014
Remember to make reservations for weekdays!

Kerwin is the nicest man in America. He let 4 "adult" women try on fairy wings and take pictures. :)
Joe WrightMarch 16, 2011
Great spot for brunch but crowded on the weekends so get here early. Also keep an eye out for the happy hours that they do.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 20, 2009
Order the BLT sandwich with blue cheese dressing. Ask to be seated upstairs if possible - calmer atmosphere up there.
Kenneth SwansonMay 3, 2013
Try the chocolate mint tea with a splash of milk with your pumpkin scone for pure contentment.
Alessio SanzogniOctober 25, 2010
Grilled steak salad is amazing..how could you not end up with a supertasty choco cup cake? you'll find teenagers or childhood nostalgics celebrating a bday!
DApril 17, 2017
The host had such stank attitude didn't even greet. The tea was delicious but the food &cookies were below avg. I just hope u don't end up w/ the same host as us he was just rude rude!!
Larry ChenNovember 16, 2012
Great scones and good tea. Service are good sometimes and very RUDE at other times. YMMV
Vanessa BallFebruary 15, 2015
Sit upstairs and get crunchy fries with your lunch.
AzizJuly 31, 2017
White Choc Espresso Scone, its a must.
Jamie SandersFebruary 25, 2013
Don't even try to go for brunch on the weekends, the wait is over an hour! Just get Alice's Tea and a scone to go!
Barbara TorresJanuary 28, 2020
Scones, scones, scones!

The pumpkin scone is a must during the Fall/Winter seasons. Enjoy!
Julia MontiSeptember 27, 2015
The worst service imaginable. We waited for an hour to be seated and the host was so rude. Our waitress payed us no attention. The food was meh. Save yourself the headache and head somewhere else.
Janey PAugust 15, 2010
I love burgers & fries. The burger here is definitely on my top list for NYC. Don't ask, just try it, then thank me later!
Stephen CJune 10, 2011
Single guy? This is a watering hole of beautiful women plus the food is great! A win-win in my book!
Shilpi RoongtaMay 28, 2014
chocolate chai was ok... watery if you are used to real Indian Chai.
JohannaApril 8, 2013
Scones and tea is where it's at- rests of the brunch menu is pretty average. Very cute interior at all the locations.
Amanda GobaudDecember 1, 2015
Rooibos tea is very fragrant. Get a scone.
Amy Miller EverhartApril 4, 2014
After visiting Chapter I we were disappointed in Chapter II. Food was good but lacked the Whimsical feel of Chapter I and no fairy wings for Sale. Just one set for decoration equals bummed 6 yr Old.

Their scones are awesome!
Michael RosenMay 29, 2017
Tea, and smoked chicken sandwich and scone and cookies.
DJuly 26, 2013
Food is decent, but the reason to go is for tea with scones and clotted cream. Almost always a 15+ minute wait, so call ahead.
Lynn Marie FrancoNovember 26, 2013
Super cute place! Ask about the scones!
