    Raspberry iced

    It's all in the presentation. I come here at least once a year, and each time it's a different, though lovely, experience, with things always "tweaked" just a little differently. Once there was a full tasting room, once I dined in the private room with the extended Harney family as waiters, several times in the dining area, which has been reconfigured each time. What is solidly expected however, is delicious food, fabulous teas, friendly staff and a charming gift shop. As big as the Harney name has gotten, this location remains small, quaint and charming. A pleasant quick visit to get stocking stuffers and then to visit the rest of this cute but strong, reliable village, with friendly, sophisticated, shopkeepers, selling all my vices; books, antiques, wine and coffee. If you are looking for a great big event to happen, drive south; about 70 miles. Otherwise, button up your coat, put on your knit cap and enjoy a non pretentious outing with some good tea; an ever expending and creative company.

    Harney tea is my most favorite tea and I love visiting Millerton to enjoy the town's shops, and we always like to stop at Harney. The tea shop has great varieties available and plenty of gifts for any tea lover in your life. It is sad that the tea tasting room has not reopened after Covid. One of the employees told me it was due to a shortage of help. On a recent visit, there were a few things that were disappointing about the cafe experience. My mother and sister joined me for the meal and after a short wait, we were able to procure a table. There are very few tables in the cafe and they are first-come-first-served. We ordered off the specials menu and my family members were very happy with their Blue Harvest Salad that was chopped cabbage and radicchio along with green apple, blue cheese, candied pecans topped with a maple tahini dressing. Unfortunately, I chose the Crispy Chinese Pork Belly, which was advertised as sticky soy glazed pork belly served with veggies and brown rice. The rice was white and the pork belly was so hard and tasteless that I couldn't even finish it. I expected crunchy but I thought I was going to break a tooth biting into the pork belly. Because the tea is the star of the show, we ordered a pot of chai tea. However, we were half way through our meal but the tea had not been served. I went up to the counter and learned they had forgotten about serving it to us. We finally received it and it was delicious, but it was disappointing that it was so late. I will definitely return to the shop but I'm not sure the cafe on a Saturday afternoon is an experience I want to repeat. Perhaps on a slow day, we might have more attention from the wait staff.

    Was not expecting such a small spot. The tea selection to purchase was awesome but it really was sad they don't offer tasting in the tasting room. I feel that needs to come back to make it worthwhile for a return visit. The service was pleasant especially in the gift shop side. Could use some sprucing up on the patio as it looked run down. I love the teas but was not inspired from this visit to make the trek back.

    Longtime Harney & Sons lover and finally made it to this adorable little shop! They had a summer tea available for sampling. I ended up purchasing some loose tea and a jar of marmalade jam. It was all so delicious. There was a cozy seating area where you could enjoy your treats. Although I couldn't stay, I made sure to grab a refreshing lavender lemonade, complete with a cucumber slice. I'll definitely return next time I'm in town!

    I had hoped for a higher end shopping experience. Lots of touristy trinkets that had nothing to do with tea

    Shop online to save the most money, but if you're in a pinch and need tea? Go on a weekday when it's less crowded.

The owner is amazing and opened up the shop for her son who has autism. They support, train, and empower young adults with diverse learning differences, such as autism, Down syndrome and sight/hearing impairments. It does get a little tight when there are a few people in there. When you first walk in you will see lots of fun things you can buy and a sofa! They have mugs, keychains, sweatshirts, and so much more! The next space is where you can order food and drinks and also pay. They have a wide variety of teas to choose from. In the back there is a beautiful room where you could sit to enjoy your drink or pastry. There was a class going on upstairs when I was there and I thought that was so cool. Everyone is so sweet. I look forward to coming back. There is parking along the side of the street. You can also park in the parking lot that is next to Extra soecial teas.

    Such a cute, comfortable, colorful, welcoming tea shop with lovely staff :)…read more I ordered a black tea with oat milk and vanilla flavoring and it was absolutely delicious. Really really good organic black tea that the brown sugar boba and vanilla complimented really well. Plus I had the best gluten free brownie ever. As a gluten free person I've never felt this included at a café or restaurant that I can freely choose anything I want to eat from the menu at such affordable prices. I had a very relaxing time in their outdoor dining space with my boyfriend. This place is a blessing and an important safe space for everyone living in and visiting the GB community.

I was super excited when I realized most of this place is vegan, but was disappointed by flavor. The mocha was okay but lacked significant flavor and the vanilla bean latte must have had actual beans used because it was also lacking flavor but had a mysterious crunch. It's a cute place, though, and maybe other items taste better....

    Vegetarians rejoice!…read more Where do I start? How about with the best damn sandwich I've had in years. This place was recommended to us, as my wife and I are vegetarians. I ordered the Fontina Panino (vegan sausage, fontina cheese, arugula and fennel mustard on ciabatta) and a cortado to drink. We take out seat in the very cool back room, and only after 5 or so minutes the drink and food arrives. Now I am a complete foodie, really tough on everything I eat, but after one bite I was in love. To the point where I asked Lauren, the owner, what mustard they were using, and then ordered a panini press when I got home hoping to recreate the magic. Perfectly chewy bread, just the right balance of sweet and savory, and that mustard. Truly amazing. My wife ordered the avocado toast which she said was perfection. I wish I could bundle this place up and ship it to New Haven because I'd be eating one of those sandwiches every week. As for everything else: The service was great. The atmosphere laid back and funky. Everything was reasonable priced. LOVE LOVE LOVE Cafe Joust!
