YanMay 24, 2019Better 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).
Stephanie KleinFebruary 18, 2016ROOIBOS BOURBON. You'll thank me, I promise. In fact, get a bag to go, too.
Marta CheckoMarch 30, 2013This place is amazing but randomly gets really crowded and it might take 30-40 minutes to get a seat. Call early to reserve seats!
NicoleJanuary 1, 2013The ambiance is absolutely delightful, there are hundreds of teas to choose from, and the pastries are tasty!
Syndicate Media GroupAugust 19, 2011NYC [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, 2013Ask the hostess for an upstairs table in the windowed main room. The other areas can seem dark and cramped.
New York HabitatDecember 7, 2011Let 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?
Mistina PiccianoJanuary 26, 2010Excellent 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
Laura GardnerOctober 25, 2011My favorite BLT anywhere.....get a pot of tea and 2 scones for $10 for a delightful golden afternoon snack!
NataliaNovember 13, 2012If you happen to be in NYC during autumn, DO try the Pumpkin Caramel Scone. It's a piece of heaven.
this place is sooo cute ! I like the Phoenix dessert tea and the pumpkin scone.
Francisco VeraSeptember 13, 2016Magical experience if you like the story...one of three "chapters" in Manhattan.
Townley GirlAugust 3, 2011What 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!
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 10, 2015Always along wait to get in, but if you manage you won't be disappointed.
Amy RobertsonFebruary 5, 2015Perhaps a bit juvenile in style but legitimately wonderful tea (sparrows sorrow) and scones
Karin CournoyerApril 25, 2013Kerwin is the nicest man in America. He let 4 "adult" women try on fairy wings and take pictures. :)
Joe WrightMarch 16, 2011Great 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, 2009Order the BLT sandwich with blue cheese dressing. Ask to be seated upstairs if possible - calmer atmosphere up there.
Kenneth SwansonMay 3, 2013Try the chocolate mint tea with a splash of milk with your pumpkin scone for pure contentment.
Alessio SanzogniOctober 25, 2010Grilled 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!
Larry ChenNovember 16, 2012Great scones and good tea. Service are good sometimes and very RUDE at other times. YMMV- DApril 17, 2017The 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!!
Jamie SandersFebruary 25, 2013Don'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!
The New York Daily NewsAugust 22, 2011PHOTO: Richard Nixon prefers coffee, and takes it at an unknown UES diner near here in 1980, at the link! Read more
Julia MontiSeptember 27, 2015The 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.
Stephen CJune 10, 2011Single guy? This is a watering hole of beautiful women plus the food is great! A win-win in my book!
Janey PAugust 15, 2010I love burgers & fries. The burger here is definitely on my top list for NYC. Don't ask, just try it, then thank me later!
JohannaApril 8, 2013Scones and tea is where it's at- rests of the brunch menu is pretty average. Very cute interior at all the locations.
Amy Miller EverhartApril 4, 2014After 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.
DJuly 26, 2013Food is decent, but the reason to go is for tea with scones and clotted cream. Almost always a 15+ minute wait, so call ahead.
