    This past Sunday I checked out Brooklyn Tea on my way home from church with my sister. Their tea options are extensive! It took me awhile to decide on the tea I wanted. The two young ladies that worked there were extremely patient and informative. Customer service was top tier. I ordered the Vanilla Rooibose which was delicious and my sister got the Cream Earl gray latte and she loved it. We ordered blueberry waffles and chocolate chip waffles. Both vegan and both delicious. We also bought some loose tea to go. They sell the tea by the ounce here. The place is small but they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell shop swag and a lot of their dishes are named after Brooklyn hip hop songs. This place is definitely worth a trip to Brooklyn. Can't wait to go back on my next visit to Brooklyn.

    I had Brooklyn Tea on my to-do list ever since I came across them on Instagram, and I'm so glad I finally made the trip. What I expected to be a quick visit turned into a much longer stay -- that's how warm, welcoming, and special this place is. The space itself is cozy, but it feels so much bigger than just a tea shop. It's a place full of community, education, inspiration, and history. Everyone who walked in felt like they belonged, no matter where they came from -- the vibe is truly that inviting. The service stood out right away. Authentic, kind, and genuinely helpful. I had the chance to do some tea tastings, and the staff took their time sharing knowledge and making thoughtful recommendations. I left not only with a few teas and a bowl, but also with a deeper appreciation for the world of tea. My standards are officially raised! Also, learning that this is a first-gen, Black-owned business -- and that they're now opening in the airport in NYC -- just made me even more excited to support them. It's the kind of place that deserves all the love and attention it gets. I ordered matcha with agave and then later ordered a floral tea that I cannot recall. Brooklyn Tea, I'll absolutely be back soon -- and if you're even thinking about going, let this be your sign. Go.

    Amazing Service! Amazing Vibes! Amazing Tea! I spent 2hrs here and it truly was worth every minute. The owners were friendly and very knowledgeable about tea and were willing to answer any and all questions. I meet some really cool people and it felt so nostalgic being in a tea shop again. The tea was so delicious, I had 2 cups while there- Apple Cider and Cucumber Melon- both 10/10. I also got to taste Chocolate Mint latte, which tasted like a cookie. Traveling from Manhattan to Brooklyn Tea was definitely worth the two train transfers and 10 min walk while the temp was dropping. The tea's were hugs in a cup and greatly appreciated. I brought plenty to hold me until I travel back to visit.

    Such a cute little tea shop in the neighborhood. The staff are immediately very welcoming. Be prepared to be overwhelmed by all of the great tea options. The employees are pretty knowledgeable about what's what and offer great suggestions. They sell packaged loose leaf tea, branded swag, and gear. They also have baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and vegan options. Unfortunately, gluten free was not an option. I love the vibe here. They have a few seating areas inside and outside. Great customer service. Don't sleep on this awesome little tea spot!

    A smooth warm latte that was recommended. Coconut oolong latte. So warm and sweet. I'm definitely going to go back for this again.

    Great place to have tea and to zen out. I usually get my tea to go but I had time. I got a nice latte. I like that was greeted warmly when I came in. I told the tea gentleman what I was looking for and he didn't disappoint. The space is quaint and cozy. Almost like being in one's living room. I also loved the fact that the music was audible but not overwhelming and very soothing. I will definitely be back when I am in BK to get my tea fix and BIGGIE cookies.

    The staff is very friendly and Knowledgeable. They have an amazing selection of teas.

    My coconut oolong tea with macadamia milk was delicious and the staff were friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more.

    Perfect combination.

    My friend booked this for a weekend, and our check-in was extremely smooth. Given the weather was…read morereally nice, we were offered a seat in their outdoor heated patio. The decor is incredible inside the space, and the staff are equally kind and attentive. We got the grand Vanderbilt tea option, and tried the English breakfast tea, Darjeeling, and Earl Grey. The sandwiches were all rather delicious, though I found the scones a bit dry. The desserts were small, but also delicious. I wouldn't come here if you're extremely picky about afternoon tea food as the food was pretty standard. Overall, I think this high tea is quite good for the value, and the staff were always stopping by to check if we needed a tea refills. I would definitely come back, especially given the nice ambience and overall experience.

    Did you know that tea lights for their name from the lights that were lit beneath tea pots to keep…read moretea warm? I learned that here at Brooklyn High Low! I had a morning to kill before a work event and wanted afternoon tea! This reservation was not easy to get and I was lucky to snag a less desirable 10am ish reservation. It was cold outside (all the inside seats were full) but they provided warm, fuzzy heated blankets so it wasn't much of an issue. I wish I'd been able to pick which tea I got but the house black tea they served and picked for me was good. The sandwiches were delicious but I found the desserts to be lacking. Service was wonderful. There's only one bathroom and it was very clean and aesthetic, like most of the decor. It screams maximalist and vintage, very fun. Everything was good but I'm not sure if it's worth the steep price. There's other more reasonably-priced afternoon tea service options in the city.

    I absolutely love this place. I first came here for a Yelp event week, where I tried the Hood…read moreHealer and their vegan lentil soup. Both were incredible and I felt immensely better afterwards. I later returned on several occasions and tried their Moon Milk, which is a delicious mixture of turmeric, cardamom, coconut and ashwahganda, the Key to the Garden drink (coconut, nutmeg, cacao, cinnamon and maple), their vanilla chocolate chip cookies and regular chocolate chip cookies. You can get these drinks hot or iced. I had all of them iced! I also had one of the best iced matcha lattes ever from here with sweet coconut milk. WOW. From what I've seen, baked goods change daily and their drink menus change semi often as well, which is exciting!! Outside, there is some seating, lovely items and books for purchase and a window to order, as well as the menu items displayed on boards and items around the space. Inside is quite similar, but with more items for sale and more seating. The vibes are immaculate and this seems to be a space that's community centered and has an emphasis on carrying items made by local artists. Remember to bring cash to tip. I cannot wait until my next visit here!!

    When they said secret Garden, I suppose so because I have a hard time finding this spot because it…read moredoesn't outright have any signage that says secret Garden or juice bar like it's supposed to or what you would think that it should so I just think that's kind of weird, but once you walk past the place several times. You realize it's cluttered with a bunch of knickknacks and other games and accessories that. Some of the items inside look like they're either for sale or just meant for display, which is fine, but I feel like it distracts from the main purpose, which is serving food and being a comfortable resting spot. It's no fault of the place, but the vibe is a mix of reggae, African folk music, and incense, and it contrasts sharply with the environment outside. There's an Italian restaurant across the street blasting Frank Sinatra type music, so the clash is noticeable. I feel like maybe the sound could be adjusted or balanced somehow. As part of the promotion, I ordered the vegan lentil soup. It was okay, nothing special but not bad. Then I was served an iced chai latte, and most of the spices sank to the bottom under the ice. After I swirled it, the spices still didn't have much flavor. It wasn't strong or pungent, and you couldn't really taste the spices or feel any of the digestive benefits chai is usually known for. It didn't taste like tea; it was just mildly sweet. I could see myself drinking it with a dessert, but it didn't stand out on its own. The service was friendly. I hope this place the best and want it to succeed but it needs to literally clean up.

The counter was emptied when we first came but it filled up pretty quickly. We just got a matcha latte and one prix fixe menu to share. For the main dessert, we picked the chocolate and hojicha soufflé. The chocolate soufflé was light and airy and not too sweet. It paired very well with the hojicha ice cream and caramel apple on the side. Overall, all the dessert was pretty good but everything was very small and I don't think it tasted that good that it worth $30. The service was also not that great. My husband and I were a little confused when we first got into the store and we weren't sure if we needed to be seated. A lady that worked there saw us but never greeted us nor gave us water until we asked. It took a while for someone to acknowledge us and it just made us felt a little uncomfortable.
