At $50 per person, per tea party, this quaint space is an absolute gem! I would rate it 4 stars for uncomfortably close spacing between other tables, but New York City need this gem! Beautiful kitsch and decadence Victorian decor, old timey loveseats and lounge chairs-- it's the little details like flower petals in your sugar that count. read more

Very cute place. Service was ok--no one checked on us and asked if things were ok. Ordered a pot of tea ala carte (extra) and it was oversteeped and undrinkable. Regret not sending it back. They would have noticed our reactions and the fact we ordered a different pot almost immediately. Sandwiches were on the dry side. Except for the cute decor, I wouldn't recommend. read more

A wonderfully charming way to end a holiday season. While this delightful Brooklyn brownstone might be reminiscent of your grandmother's house, that is also what makes it special. You are greeted by a hostess and then welcomed by your "tea server" who takes your order (had you not pre- selected from the numerous teas) and ensures you get the perfect pot of tea. Then your "server" appears with a delightful selection of tea sandwiches (yes crust removed) and a scone for each, complete with jam and clotted cream, my favorite. My friend and I were there just for the experience, but others were celebrating birthdays and engagements. read more

Wonderful spot. Definitely recommend. Had the Classic Tea and it was very filling; it's unlimited, but we couldn't finish the first round. Staff were very friendly and attentive. read more

We had a girls gathering of afternoon tea at the outdoor garden and it is the cutest place!!! Super cute decors and spacious. We went for the Vanderbilt since all of us have different tea preferences. Each of us started with picking our own tea, and then 4 sandwiches out of the list. I had the Decadence. It was an interesting tea. It didn't really smell great however it tastes different than it smells. As listed on the menu, the taste is a mixture of tea, rose and a slight hint of chocolate, which can be quite confusing. However, the aftertaste is only tea so i quite enjoyed it. For sandwiches, I highly recommend the Truffle Chicken and Parsley Salad. Everyone at the table agreed it was deliciousssss. Everything else was fine. We were celebrating two birthdays so they offered us two cakes with a candle on each! Excellent service, good food and a great time at Brooklyn High Low! read more

Even in the most frigid weather, it was warm enough for high tea in a magical setting. You almost can't imagine how this place opened during this time. Our visit was a delicious and eye opening adventure. read more

WOW!! Will be returning for this magical high tea experience. My partner and BFF surprised me with high tea for my birthday this weekend, and I was awestricken by the entire experience. Food: 5/5 We opted for The Heights experience, which is a 90 minute experience that includes seasonal soup (tomato + olive oil) and mini savory biscuits, seasonal side salad (arugula salad with yuzu dressing), 1 pot of tea/person (this was bottomless and you can change your flavor, if desired) plus several sweetener and non-dairy/milk options, 4 finger sandwich flavors/person, fresh scones and crumpets + the fixings (clotted cream, strawberry jam, lemon curd, and herb butter), and 4 desserts (chocolate-covered strawberries, macarons, lemony pastry, and chocolate mousse). Everything was DELICIOUS!! We especially enjoyed the unique finger sandwiches -- sweet plantain and mascarpone (special of the day), Brie and fig preserves, maple bacon bites (special of the day), and Branston pickles and cheddar. Likewise, the tomato soup with mini savory biscuits, crumpets with herb butter, and chocolate-covered strawberries were highlights. Tea: 5/5 We got so full that we weren't able to take advantage of the bottomless tea, but the flavors we did try were great! We especially loved their Scottish Toffee Pu'er; it was such an interesting and flavorful twist on a pu'er tea and paired well with oat milk and sugar. Honey, the business owner, also let us take what was left of our teas in to-go cups! Service: 5/5 Hands down the best service I've received at any food establishment. Honey did temperature checks at the door then walked us to our table in the garden. She walked us through what the service entailed and explained that we would be working with 2 servers: the tea server and food server. Both Emerson and Izzie were so kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They made my birthday extra special by surprising us all with a cake from the kitchen and a gift to take home for the entire table! I definitely cried bc that was so kind and unexpected. Ambiance: 5/5 My partner reserved a space in the garden, which was absolutely breathtaking and very much like I had been transported to a Jane Austin-inspired garden oasis. There was a great balance of natural light pouring into the garden and shade from the banisters. Light music was playing in the background that set a relaxing vibe, and allowed for easy conversation. Covid Safety Measures: 5/5 There is both indoor and outdoor dining space; we did outdoors and felt safe the entire time. Capacity is limited and tables are a paced apart more than 6 feet to keep everyone safe. Staff wears masks at all times; when you enter/exit (essentially when you're not at your table) you wear a mask. Your temperature is checked before entering the establishment, and the staff cleans tables between guests. P.S. Honey also owns a vintage shop on the same block called 1 Of A Find. It's a beautiful shop filled with vintage clothes, shoes, jewelry, lots of plants for sale, natural soaps/candles/incense, and much more. Definitely stop by after your tea experience! read more

Oh my god this place is heaven. Their service is phenomenal. They took every Covid precaution possible & still made it a lovely dining experience. The tea is the best I've ever had. You can get different packages at different price points depending on what you want as well. The sandwiches are phenomenal, but not vegan friendly. You can make do as a vegetarian (we are!) but you might need to call ahead if vegan. read more

I wanted to treat my 9 year old daughter and her best friend to a nice outing. Also I was excited to try this place on my own as soon as I came across it on Facebook somehow. I decided to go all out with the expensive menu just to enjoy life a little. Yummy sandwiches, scones were fresh and wonderful selection of teas. The girls chose hot cocoa. I wouldn't bring my kids back since it was a little pricey and they were only interested in the treats. Wonderful decor and nice staff. Didn't get 5 stars just because it took a while for us to get our drinks and tea which was frustrating because paying so much, but I understand staff is limited. I will definitely be back on my own or grown up friends for an afternoon without kids. read more

I can't be effusive enough about my experience at Brooklyn High Low. Short: A thorough and genuine experience in a cozy setting. The meal is filling, the staff is kind and attentive, and the vibes are immaculate. Long: From the moment of my reservation request onward High Low was incredibly accommodating in the reservation process. Teatimes are usually booked well in advance, but after seeing an ad for them on IG I messaged with the smallest hope on Thursday for a sitting on Sunday. Not only did they find the time, they gave my party a table in their "low tea" parlor for a premium service. I'd arrived a bit nervous, thinking the shop may be too good to be true, but it really did exceed expectation. The parlor felt homey but elegant; think a kind of quaint "English countryside" vibe. My date and I were sat in large, plush armchairs and presented with menus of tea and finger sandwiches to choose from. Both had a mix of expected and unexpected flavors. After ordering the menus were removed and we were left to talk and soak in the atmosphere. Within minutes the shops' tea mistress brought us our pots. High Low intermixes its china from various sets, and apparently my date had lucked out in receiving the cute cat-shaped teapot for his masala chai--it was a shop favorite. Shortly thereafter our soup course was brought. The service moved at a nice pace, and we were given a good amount of time to pick at the tower of British savories that was our main course. Along with the finger sandwiches was a level of crumpets, and another of scones. My date called it a carb-overload, but that's exactly what you do tea for! Our last course was a pot of small puddings in teacups, shortbreads, and chocolate-covered strawberries. We nibbled, but were so full by that point that trying to get another bite in was impossible. Staff gave us boxes for all the leftovers and saw us off with commemorative saucers and sachets of rare tea. It was like a dream. The details at High Low were what made the experience. The breads of the tea sandwiches matched to the carefully spread fillings, the slight warmth to the scones, the mindful decor. It's so rare to find a shop this laden with charm that doesn't simultaneously demand attention as an "experience." I was able to focus on having a lovely date, and it was enhanced 1000x by Brooklyn High Low. If I had to give any feedback, I'd ask for bit more silverware. I used my knife for an herb butter on the crumpets and then had to wipe it to spread lemon curd on the scone. Nonetheless, amazing time, 1000/10 read more

Went here for a mother daughter tea time! The place was beautiful, the staff was accommodating and attentive to my daughter. The classic tea service came with a house black tea which was yummy! Oat milk was available which was a plus! The sandwiches, scones, and treats were appetizing and beautifully tempting! Do yourself a favor and go- alone, with friends, with family! Just go! You deserve it! read more

Cutest place! Brought my mom and had a great time. We were stuffed by the end but had a lovely day!

Why a lovely afternoon at Brooklyn High low. I had never been to this spot and after my visit I am for sure be heading back! From the moment we stepped in we were greeted by the most friendly staff and homey ambiance. There was a great selection of teas and tea server to help decide. Each person gets their own pot of tea with the high tea which I enjoyed and it is unlimited tea for the 90 minutes! The food was all great as well from the lox and cream cheese to the Brie and fig we loved it all! Lots of fun food and spreads to try on the tower. You can tell the staff is truly passionate about what they do which makes it such a great dining experience. If your looking to do some fun high tea come here for a nice laid back and yummy experience! read more

A little snotty and overpriced for tea and cake. Not tea at the Plaza. Service was okay. Cute room.

Took my friend here for her bday and we had an amazing time. We sat inside and felt very safe and separate from everyone else. All of the details and decor inside was so cute and fun to look at. We did the heights tea and I had an amazing oakey tea that was smoky in flavor and so different from other teas I've had. We both left absolutely stuffed and with little tea leave takeaways. I would definitely recommend this for any tea fans or people who want to be transported to a tea house in London for an hour or two. read more

This is the best we've had in the city by far. What started as a hunt for the best afternoon tea service in NYC quickly turned into a search for an afternoon tea service in this city that was at least competent. After some bad experiences at the Baccarat Grand Salon and a mediocre outing to The Russian Tea Room, we've finally found somewhere that provides quality service, beautiful presentation, good food and great tea. This is a small, cosy reservation-only, UK-inspired teahouse with a very welcoming atmosphere. The tea selection is strong, the tea itself is well brewed (they don't leave the tea in the pot to over-brew like a lot of American places), excellent quality sandwiches and scones and a decent (albeit small) selection of sweets. This place is very simple in the best possible way. They don't take many big swings, but instead they seem to focus on doing all of the Afternoon Tea staples as well as they can. There's nothing disappointing or underwhelming (and that includes the environment and the friendly, personable service). This is the first time I've gotten afternoon tea in NYC and been excited to return. read more

Amazing afternoon tea in a relaxing and comfortable setting. Terrific variety of teas to choose from along with a delicious three tier food menu of scones, sandwiches and sweets. Liz and Jordan made us feel right at home and provided excellent service and delicious tea suggestions. We had the "grand height" tea service and highly recommend it for the most variety in teas, as well as a full lunch. One of our diners with us has done afternoon tea in London at a highly regarded tea place and said Brooklyn high low far exceeded that experience. Cannot wait to return. Hope to see Liz and Jordan when we do. Highly recommend!!! read more

As a seasoned, long-time partaker of afternoon tea, I find The Brooklyn High Low wanting. First, there are a barrage of DOs and DON'Ts in making a reservation. At the appointed time you will find yourself facing a time limit. Afternoon tea is meant to be savored, not consumed in X number of minutes. The scone was inauthentic... more like a concrete biscuit and the jam and cream served with it not sufficient. Lastly, for the amount of food presented, there's no value in the cost. I won't be returning to this establishment for sure. read more

Delightedly surprised, invited by good friends to reunion at this magical, character filled high low tea in Prospect Heights. The interior is filled with an intentional array of tea related items creating an experience to wonder as we waited for our required reserved table to be set up. When we went to their enchanting outdoor (roofed/protected from rain) garden in the back, we were all the more mesmerized by its character. Only 4 parties allowed, we had our own space to reunion with our friends. We selected the middle tier for all of us. From the setting of the abundance/quality of tea, pots, the impeccable service, I can't help but feel this is a unique Michelin star experience. Not cheap but not badly priced for its wonderful experience. So much more to say but go for yourself. read more

Amazing service and cutest decor! Hoping to see more hours of operation in the future!

For how amazing this tea experience was, I don't think there's enough reviews or pictures! We were greeted and served tea by Emerson who showed such energy and hospitality that it just elevated the whole experience. We were guided to the outdoor patio which stunned me by how beautifully it was decorated. I was also concerned that it might rain that day, but was relieved that there were overhead coverings. The day was also very humid, but some fans were placed throughout the outdoor seating area so it never felt hot or uncomfortable at all. The patio was away from the city streets so my party found that we could freely and calmly relax. My party asked for the "heights" option which included 2 types of tea per person. The tea selection is large and my party found it fun to experience the wide range of rich, spiced, and fruity teas available. It also included a salad and tiered tower with the first tier holding tea sandwiches, the second tier having scones and crumpets with various spreads, and the third tier having desserts. We were served food by Isabella, who kindly explained the dishes and tiers, and were blown away by the taste! The tomato soup and red cabbage salad were great! The salmon, chicken, and branston pickle sandwiches were the big winners for us in taste, but every sandwich was a winner for uniqueness and creativity. The scones and crumpets were absolutely delicious and seemed authentic to what you would get at a tea in London. The dessert tier was also delicious and the macarons stayed fresh despite the summer humidity. Then at the end of the tea, we even received a little gift! All in all, A++! The servers' passion for tea really shines through and is contagious. Great service, great atmosphere, and great food! I will definitely come back to experience this all again! read more

I attended a private party for about 20 people on the enclosed patio at this tea house. The patio was cozy and attractive, with nice seating areas and eclectic decorations. There were many different kinds of tea, and all the teas that I tried were delicious. Because I enjoyed the venue, the teas, and the company of my friends, I'm willing to give three stars. But although the wait staff brought out many platters filled with delicious-looking food, I couldn't eat any of it because this restaurant has made no attempt to accommodate people who are vegan. As the trend toward plant-based diets continues to increase, I find that most restaurants are adding at least a few menu items that are vegan-friendly. Even big, national chains are adding vegan items, having seen the business opportunity that this growing trend provides. But this tea house has apparently made no attempt to adjust their food menu. Perhaps they could add a fresh fruit salad, or they could adjust the slaw that they serve so that it contains vegan mayo (which is not hard to find). Or the chocolate-dipped strawberries could be vegan (again, not hard to find). If this establishment really intends to provide premium service, I believe that they should find a way to offer that kind of welcome to everyone. read more

I really wanted to love this place! The servers were lovely and very much enjoyed all of the teas we ordered, however, for the price, I would have expected better food. The bread for the tea sandwiches were stale, as if they have been prepped hours earlier. Tea sandwich es are such a simple and inexpensive food to make so it was disappointing that they weren't at least fresh. Some of the flavors were disappointing, like the pumpkin spice fluff or guava blue cheese. The scones were dry and the cream puffs were slightly off-putting, like they had been in a freezer for ages. The chocolate covered Strawberries were delicious , the star of the show. Overall, not worth $60 a person. read more

What a delight! The food is taken as seriously as the tea. We ordered the middle tier--I was worried it wasn't going to be enough, but we left stuffed. The decor and service are friendly and professional without being too formal. Go with a couple close friends and have fun for a couple hours. read more

Honestly, this was one of the best tea services we've ever had in NYC and... anywhere! The tea and food were delicious. The service was wonderful. The environment was perfect, too. We had the Vanderbilt service, which allowed each of us a choice of tea and to pick our sandwiches. The food was so filling and we even had some leftovers, which isn't usual for tea services. Also, the scones (THE SCONES) are amazing -- especially with the lemon curd. Beyond the food and tea, what made the experience perfect was the staff. The owner greeted us at the door and the wait staff could not have been nicer. They're knowledgeable and down-to-Earth. If you're looking for a great way to spend an hour or so, book this place. We live in uptown Manhattan and Brooklyn High Low is about a 40-minute drive, but it was worth it. read more

I went for tea/lunch today with a friend, and it was a really wonderful experience. The decor is fun and cute with so much thought put into every detail. The service is lovely. We went all out and got the Heights tea service, which includes a tower of tea sandwiches (each guest chooses 4 of 8 types), slaw, scones with several spreads, and desserts, along with soup, bottomless tea, prosecco/sparkling cider, and a little tea gift. My friend is kosher, and I am pregnant, so we had several dietary restrictions, but there were still plenty of sandwich options that worked. We especially enjoyed the pickle jam and cheddar and smoked salmon sandwiches. I'll have to go back when I can eat proscuitto! The cheesecake and chocolate mousse desserts were to die for. We somehow managed to eat the every last bite because everything was so delicious. The garden patio seating was warm enough with heaters, and the tables are well spaced apart. I'm already planning to go back with my mom and sister for their birthdays. What a special place! read more
