Such a cozy and unique tea experience in the west village! They offer dine-in afternoon tea and you can also get a freshly brewed cup to-go. There is a wide and interesting selection of blends to choose from and the vintage displays are such a charming touch! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the different flavor profiles as well. I highly recommend the Scarlet and Peach Fruit teas but you can't go wrong with any of their options! Definitely will be revisiting Paquita the next time I'm in NYC. read more

My friend recommended this spot to me, and I did not know that New York had a place like this! Located in the west side, this shop offers a wide selection of unique teas and some small bites. The interior itself is antique, quaint, and there's minimal (but some!) seating for you to enjoy your tea at. One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience! read more

what a lovely place. The pictures don't do it justice. Feels and looks like something out of the gilded age, which I think I would have LOVED to live in. teas adorn the perimeter of the venue. Near the back is where you order some drinks and food. Sat in the nook at the front of the store and enjoyed the bay window and the sunlight that fell on me :) read more

SO freaking cool! Highly recommend coming here! You go around and smell the teas in the little jar to pick out which one you want to order. For 2 people, we found the tea pot a great deal with 2 glasses each! They "recommend" you pair it with a food item which was definitely just a money grab and I didn't like that. Not much seating but the place is small so they're doing the best they can. Really cool space read more

we made a reservation ahead of time to visit this little tea shop! this unassuming store front had the most cozy and quaint interior ever! beautifully designed and decorated we got in and heard we had to order a tea pot per person and order 1 food item minimum for the table. honestly, it was a bit disappointing to hear that, esp bc we were quite full and was planning to share but i understand that its a financial decision and i would be supporting a small business! we got to walk around and smell all the different tea leaves and blends before deciding on our individual pots. i chose ginger tea bc i wanted something gentle on the stomach and caffeine free! i knew it would taste comforting and help with digestion. we also got these pistachio financiers to share! they taste like sweet lil muffins we also received some milk and honey to add to our teas! i mainly used the honey to sweeten my ginger tea there was a time limit to how long we could stay inside. i dont remember how long but we left in an hour. overall, this was a really nice place to sit and relax with good company :) or by yourself! time definitely stops when youre here sipping on tea. its great to take a pause sometimes! i would come back if i ever need a moment to wind down read more

Found this place on Yelp and I'm SO glad I checked it out today! The lovely lady that was working there was very friendly and helpful. She recommended a few teas and then let me take my time smelling different ones. I ended up getting an iced bergamot oolong tea w/ honey and it was so good!! I noticed people sitting there with their teapots and enjoying their tea at the store which is really cute. Not a big space so be mindful of that if you want to grab a seat. What a lovely place, I'd def come again! read more

What a lovely place for a cup of tea. The photos make this shop almost look like a library, but on closer inspection all the containers on the shelves are the different flavors of tea sorted by category. There are two tables located inside the shop with a larger number located in the roofed housing outside. The vibes are real chill both inside and out complimenting the tea choices very well. There also small tasty bites to choose from including baked goods and sandwiches. We ended up going with sticky rice and salmon sandwiches. The tea was steeped perfectly and was the right amount of natural sweetness and bold flavor, very relaxing. The staff inside adds to the ambiance by being helpful but also allowing you peruse and smell the tea samples without any pressure. A gem of a find. read more

I love the aesthetic of this tea shop, super cozy place to sit for an hour or so. Seating is very limited so I recommend either getting here early, around opening, or making a reservation. The selection here is pretty impressive and you're able to smell the tea before you choose one. I chose the rose congou, which had this lovely fragrance. They have a selection of baked goods as well (I got a lemon cake), which was okay but I mainly recommend the tea. read more

This is the best tea house I've been to in nyc. Paquita is unpretentious and cozy. On the weekends I would HIGHly recommend a reservation because they do not have many seats. We went in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and put our names down for a resi. We walked around the neighborhood for 30 minutes then came back to be sat. On the weekends they do ask you to order food along with tea which is fair since the place is so small. The tea selection is intense- they have so many flavors to choose from. I ended up going with Patagonia berry. My bf and I sat at a table outside, enjoyed our tea, and read our books. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich. It was good but I think I want to try a dessert w tea the next time I stop in. You order at the counter and are then shown your seats. The service is quick and attentive. They also let you buy tea in bulk to take home! read more

Made a reservation here and had a nice afternoon tea meetup. This place is a real gem! Definitely make a reservation ahead. Also, we had to buy a snack to sit at the table for some reason but I am not complaining because the lemon loaf was delicious. Thank you for a lovely time! read more

TLDR: Great teas and found myself a new favorite reading spot! If you love tea, this place is for you. They have such a large selection of teas its a little overwhelming but you are able to sniff anything that intrigues you before you commit! I chose the white tea with rose and it was great. Each pot is about $10. There were also some pastries and tea cakes that were available to purchase. Got some raspberry madeleines and they were super moist and buttery. I'll probably get them every time. They don't allow laptops in the cafe, so keep that in mind, but you are welcome to read books! It can get noisy and the space is quite small so seating may be limited. Overall: can't wait to try another tea and read in this cute place! read more

quaint, cozy, great for intimate catch ups. the service is friendly & informative. to dine in, choose a tea for the pot per person quota, and a pastry/small bite pairing from the menu. i chose the [cocoa, cardamom, & cinnamon] blend iced with oat milk, delicious while not too sweet. for our small bite, i chose the blt which was ROCKING. lettuce, bacon, tomato jam on brioche, perfect tea time snackwich. add this to your must visit list if you're in west village. read more

I ordered a tea and sat down at a table to enjoy it when a few minutes later was informed that I could only sit if I had told them that I wanted to have my tea to stay. I told her that I wanted to stay and she walked away and then came back and said I could only stay if I ordered food. It was awkward and rude. Advice to clerk- please ask a customer if they want their drink to stay or go. It was unnecessarily complicated and just weird. There was also no one else in the place so not like they needed the table. read more

If The Old Curiosity Shop and Tea Shop Of East Peking (I made the second one up) had a love child, it would be Paquita. A long narrow corridor of a shop, with outdoor seating. Yes, you can get tea here, and it will be served in a small, heavy, antique pot. As you see the pot and your delicate little cup, you will be transported to the Middle ages. And then the price will bring you right back to 2023. Other purveyors of fine tea have noted that a cup costs north of $10. Is Lapsang Souchong still calling thy name? Perhaps it is. If you yearn for a touch of the Olde Worlde look no further. Paquita awaits. read more

Paquita's a really special tea house - it's one of those places that are actually so cute and is as amazing as it looks on Instagram. It has a cozy, soft-lit ambiance and beautiful rustic furnishings that make coming inside so appealing. There's not much seating inside, but it's really wonderful to be able to smell so many different variations of tea. They also have some pastries and tea cakes that you can purchase, and each one was so soft, chewy and well made. Keep in mind this isn't a place you can sit and work due to the limited seating inside and outside. Definitely one of my favorite places in West Village. read more

A magical spot giving Hogwarths vibes. Like Mcnulty's nearby this niche spot makes this nabe so special. They specialize in loose teas & have a nice selection.

Super cute tea shop in west village. Walked past her one day and came back the next. You can smell the different teas (displayed on walls) before making your selection. A pot of tea was roughly 9 dollars. The inside is small but they have a heated seating area outside! It's so cozy in there and very warm. Restroom in the back by cashier. I highly recommend this place! Would be a fantastic place to camp out and read in rain/snow. They ask that you don't bring laptops in so everyone was just reading. read more

Adorable find in West Village/Greenwich area - this is a tea lover's delight! Super tiny spot, but they have all sorts of varieties of teas (looseleaf). I loved how you can smell the different blends via there samples. I got a Chinese Oolong tea and loved it. They seemed to do tea time/tea tastings as well - nice spot, but be prepared to be a little cramped. Good spot to get to-go high quality, loose leaf tea . read more

This tea shop was Godsent. I'm so happy we found this hidden gem. We were looking for a cafe to escape the heat and the crowds, but every coffee shop seemed to be packed. Yelp helped me find this downright delightful spot. We were grateful to find a table for four. It is narrow in the coziest way possible. The walls are lined with tea and you can pick how you want it prepared. As soon as you order, you'll pay. There are also stunning vintage finds you can purchase at this shop. I felt like I was in a lofi youtube playlist at Paquita. It was something right out of a novel you'd read during fall time. It was such a great transition for a Labor Day Weekend trip. I ordered an incredibly refreshing iced berry tea. My friend got a chocolate cinnamon iced tea with milk. The other two ordered a black tea and another fruity tea. We were all happy to escape the heat in such a beautiful place. There is one gender neutral bathroom behind the cash register that customers can use. I highly recommend checking out this local establishment. read more

To be honest, I came here by chance. I was in the area and I remembered that I was running low on my tea leaves. I did a search on tea places in the area and I was lucky to find paquita was only 7 minutes away walking. The place is narrow especially since it accommodates people drinking teas (pots and all). But it has enough space to showcase different tea varietals and the accessories. As a short person who typically has to look above, some things were below so I had to look intensely. Prices for tea leaves came in pounds but they allowed you to buy smaller and they are listed on the tags on the cans (pictured). I bought a fourth of iron goddess and I look forward to trying it. This was a nice find read more

The cutest tea shop tucked away in the West Village! I'm so happy I found this spot on my last day visiting NYC. I spent 1-2 hours sipping my tea and writing my journal and it was absolutely perfect for a cold day. I feel like the service could have been a little better! Since it was my first time there, I would've liked to be informed of the tea selection and process a little more. I was a little confused and felt like the employees were not very helpful ): Would have been a 5/5 experience otherwise! I got an herbal tea (i believe it was ginseng). Also no laptops allowed and the tea pot was about $10. There is also outdoor seating. Would not recommend for a big group, but great for 1-3 people. read more

The tea selection is incredible, fun spot for antique shopping too. Limited indoor seating but lots of outdoor spots. Great place to catch up with people or even have a date- you get a large individual pot of tea. The food is good but pricey for amount- this place is best understood as tea and snacks. I loved the milk oolong and the tropical coconut. They've got everything from oolong to black to berry and herbal teas... can't wait to come back! Perfect conversation spot. read more

Laquita is not only a little precious, but it was quiet on my noon time weekend visit. The barista signaled for me to wait to be seated even though there were plenty of seats. She took it very seriously and said there were seats in the "cabin"(ie outdoor covered area) or inside. She firmly pointed out, with a type of hipster military finesse, that there was no menu. I requested something unusual with caffeine. She knew the perfect thing. Soon a teapot arrived with instructions that it will be ready in 2 minutes, and a pay machine in my face - $10.50, with tip, $12.50, for a tea. However she did not describe the tea until I later asked, a blend called "Campfire", a Chinese black oxidized tea smoked with pine needles - Lapsang Souchong. It was fantastic. The place is cute as hell with tons of things for sale like teapots and Knick knacks. I was then informed, with my iPad out, large screen devices are not allowed. I understand the rule but the place was empty at that point, and with my obvious irritation, they gave my permission. I overheard a tea to go was $6.50. All this fuss - I still can't wait to go back. read more

Paquita is a super charming tea shop! You can smell all the loose leaf tea before purchasing a cup to-go or a teapot to-stay. There's limited indoor and heated outdoor seating, so I wouldn't recommend trying to do sit-down at peak hours or with a big group. I loved the ambiance, but thought it was pricey ($11ish) for the amount of tea that came in the pot and was disappointed that my green tea quickly grew bitter. read more

Extra cozy tea shop. Only eight seats and they're close together. Lots of varieties of tea; I'd estámpate approximately fifty options in this small shop. Love that there is a little sampler jar next to each loose leaf tea so that you can see the leaves and smell them. Makes it a way more interactive experience. I had a pot of the Milky Oolong at under $11 for an 18 oz pot. Reasonable price for the tea but I loved the atmosphere so it was well worth it for me. Tea started out with a pear and apricot flavor and it eventually developed a creamy milkyness later on in the pot. A really pleasant session. They've got tons of tea ware plus various vintage stuff. Service was very friendly and helpful. read more
