We randomly found this place after our omakase date night. This place has a nice ambiance and friendly staff. We only had to wait 5-10 minutes which was not bad at all. The highlight of this restaurant was their matcha tiramisu. You can tell that they use high quality matcha for their dessert. Highly recommend and would come back when we visit nyc again read more

This is a really cute place, but on the smaller side. I came with a group of 4 and they seated us at a cute corner meant for 2-3 people, but it worked out. Was really hyped to come because I've been seeing it all over social media, but was a little disappointed. While the desserts looked visually appealing, it was not on par with the taste. Some of the desserts we got were bland, and the tea we got was on the pricier side (it also just tasted like straight up water). We ordered 5 different desserts and the total was a little over $100. I think this would be a place to try for the sake of trying it, but not a place I would regularly come to. read more

This place absolutely blew my mind. It's rare to find matcha that actually taste like high quality matcha. I will be dreaming of the tiramisu. Only critique was that the server was fishing for tips. I didn't appreciate that. read more

This cute dessert shop is a great place to get matcha desserts while also enjoying the dine-in experience. I recommend getting different desserts w/ family/friends so you can try a little bit of each. We got the mochi mochi, hojicha anmitsu, and the sakura parfait-- all terrific! I recommend this place to those who really enjoy traditional, not-too-sweet desserts. Service was also great; our server was able to offer great suggestions based on our preferences. read more

Came into this place excited for some tea and left utterly disappointed. We waited for a table for two for approximately 10-15 minutes, which isn't terrible, but wasn't great for how narrow the staircase is, and traffic coming from the upstairs. We were seated and after waiting another 15 minutes, were finally able to order. We ordered a rose matcha, sencha, mochi mochi, and matcha tiramisu. These were good for the most-part, the only big complaint was how sweet the iced matcha was. All of the negatives of this experience were negligible until checking out. Considering the wait times and mediocre service, we only tipped a couple bucks. This was followed up with the waitress telling us to change the check or leave cash tips. The audacity and absurdity of this will not have us returning any time soon. Harassing customers to leave bigger tips with minimal service is insanity, especially when the prices on the menu are already extremely high. Extremely disappointing and shocking end to our experience. read more

Delicious dessert and ambiance. I got the matcha tiramisu. Soo good! Service was good and the menu had a lot of different choices.

We went on 7/14/25 and there was 3 of us. When we walked in no one was at the host stand so we proceeded to wait for 2 minutes probably. Waitress didn't even give us a greeting and just took us to our table. When we sat down she told us each person has to order something which we were okay with because we were planning on doing that anyways. We got 3 drinks all matcha but i forgot what they were called. The matcha was so smooth but it was expensive it was like about $12 per drink. They didn't ask us if we needed water or asked us how we were doing. Later my friend was hungry so she took out this rice ball that we had and began eating it, the same waitress that sat us down immediately came over and told us no outside food and proceeded to wait for my friend to put it back in this tone that had a lot of attitude . Then it was about 20 minutes before closing and the waitress came back and said that they were doing last call and asked if we wanted anything else, we said no and then she left. she came back instantly and said ready for the check and brought the ipad over. My friend paid and she selected no tip because they weren't doing a lot of service. This girl was literally like why did you select no tip was there something wrong with the service, and obviously we aren't going to tell her that we didn't like her tone so we said no and then she said well we are a sit down restaurant so we would like that feedback. we still said no and she said okay in also rude tone. ( We get that it was our fault that we took food out but she also didn't need to say it in that tone or in that way, and asking about the tip was also really rude and not professional). As we were walking out, this waitress went into the bar area and started talking to her coworker about us. At least wait for us to leave. This girl needs to be fired so rude and not professional, She had dark black hair and was asian. I would give 0 stars if i could. Don't come here and waste ur time and money. this place is terrible read more

Amazing vibes and matcha desserts! This is such a cute and intimate spot to hang out with special people. We tried 3 of their matcha desserts. Pros: - matcha quality was incredible - desserts were not too sweet - portion sizes were just enough to share 3 desserts among 3 people but can't be full beforehand - great mochi - good blend of flavors and textures Cons: - I've never said a dessert is not sweet enough but the cheesecake tasted too cheesy and not sweet enough, that said the red bean and sake soaked cake part was good - pricey....definitely on the pricier end but at least the quality was good - had to get 1 item per person Definitely a fun special occasion place! read more

Even in bustling Manhattan, this is one venue that needs you to line up before it opens over the weekend for a good reason. The matcha latte just surpasses any other. I love the white peach white too. They serve food as well. I love the quieter ambience. read more

I generally visit this place due to the cozy and calm atmosphere, as well as the various assortment of desserts available. When it comes to the actual tea, I don't personally feel like it's the highest quality, or generally is worth the high cost. I've enjoyed some of the desserts here ranging from the seasonal parfaits to the crème brûlée. this place is great as an establishment to catch up with the loved ones in your life or enjoy a casual conversation. There is a decent amount of seating, but if you're trying to have more intimate conversations, this might not be the place due to the fact that the tables are a little bit closer together. The staff are always really nice and friendly, and they take a little bit of time to get orders to come out, but a key pot comes with one refill, which is nice, but it's probably recommended to do at least one teapot per person, generally, because each teapot might yield two Rounds before a refill, depending how much you drink. The quality of tea itself, was nothing amazing and the teapot is a bit small. A normal person can probably drink two or three cups pre one refill so if you're coming in like expecting to share and tea and fill it up enough tea for you, you might want to order to keep in mind that it is around $10 or more per person, with the fancier tees climbing up to over $15 a pot. read more

This is such a cute place. It seems that this place can get very busy and since its small there may be a line if you decide to attend. Upon entering you are immediately greeted by the host and are taken to your seat. The menu changes through the seasons. The staff was so nice and feiendly. They brought the food out quickly. It is currently matcha season. So we got the matcha parfait which was delicious. The red bean paste was so deliciously sweet. The experience here was really nice and totally worth a visit read more

This place is pricey even for nyc. However i can see that their desserts are of quality. We got lucky when we arrived with a short wait but this spot seems to have a long wait especially on the weekends. The service was also kind of slow and it took a while before someone took our order. I got the hojicha anmitsu and the matcha latte (regular). The matcha latte was rich in flavor and i could tell they use quality matcha powder. However i feel like with the deluxe which includes ice cream it would be way too heavy and sweet. The anmitsu on the other hand was really good. I liked the pairing of the syrup with the unseasoned mochi, jelly and the ice cream. However i felt like the strawberries were a bit sour and out of place. Overall it was a good experience but two items off the menu was like 35 + tip which i think is overpriced. read more

I've been here a few times and tried both of their drinks and desserts. So far, my favourite has been the Deluxe matcha latte, which is topped with matcha ice cream. It's absolutely delicious, and the sweetness was just right. I felt like their desserts are tasty but not anything mesmerising that I would pay $20 and devour the whole plate to myself. But if I'm with friends, I would always be down to share. I was here on a Saturday right when it opened, and that was a good move because I was able to get a seat immediately, but it quickly filled up. Because it was busy, the server didn't check on my table regularly, but I was able to get what I needed without much trouble. But the vibes here are pretty cozy, and I definitely love seeing the Japanese style interior designs. read more

Came here for dessert. My friends and I got the Matcha tiramisu, Hojicha Anmitsu, and Matcha Parfait. The line was so long and we were waiting on the stairs for over 30 mins. It is a small place on the 2nd floor. The pricing of the desserts ranges from $18-$19. A bit pricey for the desert given the portion size. read more

Desserts: Matcha tiramisu was good. Dango dango was okay. Sesame creme brûlée was subpar. Service: Terrible! The middle aged Caucasian male server was rude to all customers, including myself. After I paid, I sat there to finish my drink and was asked to leave for other customers to come in. Note that I was there less than an hour. I would not return to this place! read more

Cozy and welcoming...Cha-an takes you back to ancient times. There's a minimum of $10/person (understandable since seating is very limited). It's also idea for spending time sipping tea or eating mocha dessert with a special someone. We had mochi fruit and parfait jello desserts, and white and caffeine free tea (hot). Waitress patiently described choices and later refilled our tea. Excellent venue for right occasions. read more

Very cute spot! The inside has traditional Japanese decor, and has a cozy vibe to it. Try to come relatively early; we were naturally seated immediately, but people who came later definitely had to wait a bit. The desserts are very very pricey here. A matcha latte will be 10+ dollars, and every dessert is ~15-20 dollars, which in even New York seems pretty wild. I got the matcha latte, and it was certainly good. Creamy, good strong matcha flavor, and overall made for a refreshing drink. We also got the sweet potato noodles with brown sugar syrup as dip, and this was underwhelming. It tastes almost exactly like it sounds; slippery bouncy noodles, with a sweet sauce. The serving size isn't large, so for almost 20 dollars, we definitely felt a bit ripped off. Overall, will be back if I'm super craving matcha dessert, but otherwise, the cost is definitely quite high for what it is. read more

Let me start by saying the service is fantastic! Very sweet waiter, who pour and prepare you tea for you. The tea was excellent as well. Mixed in clear mini glass pots so you can see what you're drinking and the waiters come around with hot water when you begin to get low on tea, pour it into the little tea pot with the ingredients and voila! You've got another fresh pot of tea ready. The place itself is very neat and put together inside. Giving a modern, fancy vibe. read more

I use to love this spot pre-pandemic but the price gorging is ridiculous! The matcha latte has gone up in price even though the size is still the same. I ordered a Matcha Latte Deluxe ($12.75) and a Blooming Guava Green Tea ($14). The Matcha Latte Deluxe barely had any ice cream and was more ice than latte. Within moments, it was already watered down and you could barely taste the matcha. The ice-cream was decent but not as good as it use to be. Overall, a 2/10. The Blooming Guava Green Tea was barely enough for one person and the flavor was non-existent even after letting it steep for a bit. It was fairly weak and a 3/10. Overall, this spot has really gone down in terms of quality even though the prices have gone up. The tea selection has decreased significantly and the matcha latte taste more like powder than latte. You're better off going to one of the other tea houses/Asian dessert spots around the area like Mango Mango or Prince Tea as you get better bang for your buck. I will not be coming back here nor will I recommend the spot to anyone. read more

3.5 stars, rounded up Had really high hopes for Cha An, as I had seen a lot of their desserts go viral online. Overall, tasty tea and tea desserts, but quite pricey for the portion sizes. We tried: - Matcha Tiramisu: best thing we tried here. Super flavorful. I was afraid the matcha flavor wouldn't come through as much as espresso does in regular tiramisu, but this was divine! Saved our experience for sure. - Matcha Parfait: would not order this again - flavor of the matcha ice cream was great, but you get very little of it (the inside of the cup is not filled with ice cream). I love cornflakes but there were way too many. I would have rather just had a bowl of matcha ice cream because nothing else really added to the dish. - Hojicha: tasty, no complaints read more

I'm so glad that this dessert place opened up their indoor seating again! Although there were a lot of people (the line went up the stairs and out the door), the wait was not long (about 15 minutes for me) and the service is fast and efficient! There were many delicious desserts on the menu so I had to try a few! I ordered the Hojicha Anmitsu, Black Sesame Creme Brulee and Whisked Matcha Affogato. They were all very unique; I don't think I can pick a favorite! Yes, the desserts are pricey but I think it's definitely worth it! read more

Came in February 12th and was seated at the bar. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I think it ended up being a great place to dine and have conversation without feeling rushed or awkward. I also found the dessert I had quite tasty. It was a creme brûlée and I would absolutely have it again. I wish I could go back and try more but it's definitely the kind of place you visit often and try as much as possible. I also had drink of which I cannot recall the name but it was tasty. read more

Been on my bucket list for a while, this spot is SO popular! They don't do reservations so expect a wait. Prices are pretty high here with most desserts $20 ish each. There's a requirement that each person must order a dessert. The cost of the drinks is not cheap either, matcha is $13! The service came quiet quickly but there was definitely a rush to get us out and then for the next table to be seated. It didn't feel as relaxing as I was hoping a tea shop would be and I didn't feel like the dessert justifies the price tag. read more

This place is all show, no flow. Everything looks pretty good here, on the menu especially, but also looks fancy when you get it. But the actual food is not great at all. Mochi tastes like it's been in a fridge for a week. It's barely chewy, doesn't have a spring to it, and is rubbery. The cocktails are art experiments -- look good with the garnish and shape and colors, but the flavor is just...I'm not sure what to say. One of the cocktails I had just tasted like Bailey's, and they have a seasonal matcha cocktail that tasted like green juice sand. No balance whatsoever. Even small details like, the cookie on their menu always has a Cha-An logo, and the one you receive is the cheapest possible ice cream cone you get at the $1 stands on a boardwalk, with no logo and tastes like styrofoam. Seriously, what's going on! Place is also starting to peel all around. It appears cute vibes at first but it really degrades the moment you sit down and look around. read more

Very aesthetic teahouse with tasty, cute, and pretty pricy desserts. I've been meaning to try out Cha An for a while. We ended up going right around opening on a weekend, so luckily there was no wait. By the time we finished (close to 3pm), there was a line down the stairs and out the door lol. They don't take reservations unless you are booking a private room & afternoon tea. We shared the strawberry parfait (seasonal) and the matcha tirimasu. Both looked exactly like the menu photos and were a perfect size for sharing, so that made me feel a little better about the price tag. I preferred the parfait more, which had layers of ice cream, cornflakes (?), cake, and jelly. The desserts weren't overly sweet, which I liked. I had the white peach tea which smelled very fragrant and sweet. The original pour and the refill were both light in flavor with no bitterness. It went very well with the desserts. It was a very nice experience, but the price makes it painful. Maybe for a special occasion or for a treat yo self kind of day. The cha an bonbon (takeout only) down the street is a little more affordable with additional dessert options. read more

Went here on a Saturday night around 8pm. There was a line on the steps but nobody greeted us or took our name. There were many empty seats but they waited until enough seats opened up to seat the party of 7 first, before seating parties of 2. When we ordered, we were informed that each party had to order something from the menu. That wasn't written anywhere in the menu. We ordered the matcha tiramisu, which was good, but was it worth $18? I'm not sure. We also ordered a pot of jasmine tea for $12 and it only filled 2 cups. They refilled the water again, but when we asked if we could get another water refill they told us no. Lastly, when it came to paying they had preset tip options which is fine, but they didn't have the option to custom tip which annoyed me. Overall, food was ok but the service could have been much much better. read more

I've been waiting for so long to go to Cha-an and this little gem that's tucked away blew my MIND. The vibes were a dim, but peaceful tea house. We got the matcha parfait, strawberry parfait, and the black sesame creme brûlée. The desserts are perfectly plated and it reminded me of Japan. You LITERALLY get what you order, it looks just like the menu. The matcha parfait had a tea flavored jelly on the bottom that paired well with the matcha and red bean. The mochi were perfect on both parfaits. There were so many textures, it was just simply fun to eat and combine all the flavors. The black sesame ice cream was AMAZING. The black sesames added a nice crunch and the roasted flavor was incredible. I think it's homemade because its the best black sesame ice cream I've ever had. My friend also got a cocktail and she said it was super good! I wish I got one too. read more

All the desserts are so beautifully made! They have very rich matcha lattes, teas, parfaits, and mochi. I love the traditional flavors and ingredients. Everything on the menu is rather pricey for dessert. It's very cozy but surprisingly small inside, so be ready to wait for a table. This place is perfect for a date! read more

Cha-an is the closest I've found to a truly authentic Japanese tea house/cafe in NYC, so I'll always have a soft spot for it. I did feel a little silly paying over $100 for 4 desserts and one tiny pot of tea for two visiting friends; when I tried to look for the prices, I saw that the hojicha anmitsu used to be $9 (now $19). I don't know how much everything else was but now that I'm saying this, I wish I had asked for the full receipt instead of blindly paying for the number that showed up on the screen. That said, everything we got was delicious. + Hojicha anmitsu ($19) - 7/10 - This is a very legitimate anmitsu, but again, it does feel silly to pay so much for something that is very simple at its core - mochi, hojicha agar, red bean paste, hojicha ice cream, sliced strawberries, and brown sugar syrup. I'm guessing the mochi, red bean paste, and hojicha ice cream are sourced from somewhere special; it's hard to justify paying this much. I've had the equivalent of this for $8 in Japan and I got a lot more. That said, I have not seen anmitsus anywhere else in NYC, so maybe that's the reason for this price. + Matcha parfait - 7/10 - Another very classic Japanese dessert that is also very simple at its core - just an assortment of matcha ice cream, corn flakes, agar jelly, whipped cream, and mochi. Also have not had this anywhere else so it's maybe worth getting? But again, it feels silly to pay a lot for it. + Black sesame creme brûlée - 9/10 - This was very well-executed and the black sesame flavors were very prominent in both the ice cream and the creme brûlée. The layer of caramelized sugar was perfectly thick, though it was obscured by the ice cream. Creme brûlée is laughably easy to make, though, and I don't think they make their ice cream in-house, so it also feels silly. That said, other places charge similar prices for creme brûlée so I guess this is more worth it. + Sweet potato imoko - 9/10 - This was absolutely delightful - a very traditional Japanese cream cake with sweet potato vermicelli (reminiscent of chestnut vermicelli on a montblanc). The roasted sweet potatoes on the side had black sesame seeds, which was a really nice touch. The vanilla ice cream was very icy, which was surprising because all the other ice creams were very good. I don't think there was a price for this so maybe it was around $20 (since the pre-tip total was over $90) - I know none of the other 3 desserts were over $20, and the anmitsu was the most expensive. I think I would get this again though because this was very unique. + Hojicha tea ($11) - The waitress emphasized that this is "really only tea for one"; I'm not sure if she was trying to get us to order more tea or just set us up for the expectation that it's a tiny teapot. She said if we did two cups, it'd only be half cups. Well, there is a (free) refill of hot water; at least, I think it's free since the menu says "limited to 1 refill per customer." It's enough tea for sipping but not really for drinking if you were to split with someone. I didn't have any because I thought there'd barely be enough tea for two people, but both people liked it a lot (and they had never had hojicha before). Overall, I would still recommend Cha-an for people who truly want an authentic Japanese cafe experience in terms of the dessert and tea. I'm sad to realize that prices have shot up so dramatically over the years, as I'm likely not returning unless someone makes me. There are plenty of other similar dessert/tea places with similar/better quality of desserts (though not with the same offerings) and much more generous tea portions, like Prince Tea House or Harbs. There's also a bit of a wait to get in; my friends and I got in line around 5:30pm on a Sunday and the line was already all the way down the stairwell. We were thankfully able to get seated once we reached the top, but we waited over half an hour. read more

I've been here a few times and while the desserts are not bad, it felt really overpriced. We were a table of two wanting to share a dessert but there's a minimum of one order per person. We ended up ordering a seasonal parfait and a bingsoo. The dessert was not bad but nothing amazing, it was a bit pricey. Feel like there's a lot more dessert shops open now, so there's definitely other options if you want dessert. read more

Highly overrated dessert place in East Village given the following points: - I waited for five minutes at the door when there were many empty seats. There were only two servers busy making drinks and serving customers. It turned out that I was not the only one. The lady after me waited for ten minutes and eventually needed to complain to the server to get attention. - I ordered the hot matcha latte. It was pre-made and heated in the microwave. I wasn't expecting something like this for a $12 latte! - The matcha latte was far too sweet. Because it was pre-made, I was not allow to choose the level of sugar inside. - It was very loud even though the room was not even fully seated. This was not the kind of environment I would expect for a tea house with this price tag. I have been to may other Japanese dessert / tea houses in NYC and they serve much better food and drink for a more reasonable price. So don't be fooled by the beautiful pictures online. read more

Visited Cha-An for tea and dessert on a Sunday. We called ahead and was informed the wait would be about 20 minutes and that they do not do reservations. So we walked over and waited in line. Unfortunately, the line is on the stairs that lead up to the seating area, which means we ended up waiting on the stairs nearly 45 minutes as finishing diners would also walk down the narrow crowded stairwell and bump into everyone. Would have made more sense to allow people to leave their number so they could get a text instead of having everyone block the exit waiting in line. The seating area has a very Japanese aesthetic. It feels like a Japanese tea house. We ordered a pot of sencha, the anmitsu, and their seasonal parfait. The sencha was phenomenal, a very light green and perfectly brewed. The seasonal parfait was OK. The anmitsu had all the expected ingredients, the agar jelly, mochi, syrup, sweet bean paste, and a little bit of roasted green tea ice cream. It was a light, refreshing dessert. After we paid the bill, we had to pass through the stairs again. The people in line did not want to make room to have people exit. My girlfriend may have kicked someone's shopping bags down the stairs when she wouldn't move them out of the way lol read more

TLDR: Overall 3/5; Ambiance 5/5; Food 3/5; Value 2/5 Would go back if someone suggested it bit wouldnt actively make plans to go back. Best thing was the black sesame creme brulee. First time visit on a Sunday afternoon- we actually waited in line ~5mins before they opened and there was 1 party of 2 in front of us. The area was upstairs but there was a sign saying it is wheelchair accessible but not sure how that works as i didnt see an obvious elevator. They had a good number of tables and bar seating but they fill up quickly. They opened at 1 and filled up by 120ish? I think they seat maybe 30-ish? The inside was sooooo cute especially where we were sat it had a little lantern and looked like a little traditional window(?). Obviously I dont know how to explain but the vibes were immaculate. The food - overall was kinda disappointed tbh. I think I came in with too high expectations but I will say bottomline I dont regret going, nothing was bad, but expected better- especially at this price point. - Hojicha kakigori(shaved ice) is much smaller and much sweeter than I expected. I would say its the size of a pink grapefruit? The tea flavor was ok but i wish it was a bit stronger. There wasnt really any roast-y flavors and was first and foremost sweeet. The hojicha ice cream (and the ice cream for the black sesame creme brulee) was icey which was disappointing. The toppings are kinda what you see (whipped cream that was very light- like reddiwhip, dried strawberry, red bean, rice balls, & a chest nut). At one point used the extra cream from the tiramisu (much denser cream) to have with the kakigori which was really good because it helped temper some of that sweetness and kinda gave the vibe of a hojicha latte? Would rate 3.5/5 - Matcha tiramisu was the 1 dessert that I really really wanted and i think disappointed me most. I think the main reason was that its a single layer tiramisu so its only 1 layer of cake/lady finger (like 30%), red bean (15%) & cream (55%). I feel lile a good tiramisu should be at least 2 layers so its more like a cake than a mousse with a cake bottom. The actual cake/lady finger portion felt disproportionately thin and leaves you with lots of cream (delicious thick cream but also not what I really wanted - btw this is not matcha flavored cream). Would rate 2/5 -Black sesame creme brulee was my favorite. There is a black sesame creme brulee topped with a black sesame ice cream (which tasted good but was icey in texture) and the monaka (think like a cake cone texture but empty so you can use it as an edible scoop). The creme brulee was creamy and rich with a great amount of black sesame flavor without being too rich/bitter and the contrast of warm creme brulee and cold ice cream was amaaazing. It was also a perfect level of sweetness even with that brulee'd sugar top. The icey ice cream is the only think dropping it to a 4.5/5. read more
