I'm getting the Hot Cinnamon using coupons and I've got a huge supply. It's my favorite so far. I don't know why but I think the Twinnings Peppermint Tea has more flavor than the Harney and Sons. I'm highly recommending you check out the variety at Target. They have the most reasonable prices. After you find a favorite flavor you should check out the Harney and Sons website. They sell the teabags by the bag at a huge savings. Plus they have more variety than in the local stores. Let me know if you try their tea and what flavors you like or dislike. If you are in Manhattan visit their cafe.

I attended about a 30 person party here. Having a separate room was great. The staff were so friendly and so kind. There were a few allergens in our group. I am a vegetarian and someone else was gluten-free. I had plenty to eat and there was a separate plate each course brought out for my gluten free neighbor. I would absolutely trust this place enough to bring my celiac boyfriend after how I saw they separated everything! The food was delicious and it was such a great event. Everyone enjoyed themselves, not a single complaint. Highly recommend!

Unimpressed. For a…read moreplace within 2 hours of NYC there's no excuse for their baked goods not being on point. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was tiny, doughy and tough. I also ordered a jalapeño cheese scone. I was told it was locally baked and had my hopes up, but while its flavor was good it was doughy. The ambience here is nice. It's quaint and quiet. They have counter service. Service speed was good. I've attached my copy of the receipt. I felt very "nickel and dimed." I mean, $1.50 for a smear of cream cheese?? On the plus side, the espresso is great! Their bean has a tiny bit of bitterness blended with the right amount of sweetness. I'd stop by here for the coffee every time. But if I was hungry, I'd get that coffee to go and eat elsewhere. Bon appétit.

Loved it here! I…read morewas in the area and was looking for new spots I hadn't been to. I found this tea spot. I'm so glad I did! If you're in the Woodstock area, I recommend checking this place out. They have tea, soap, snacks, tea towels, candles, etc. If you love tea like I do, you should stop by. They also offer tea tastings of their homemade elixirs, which were incredibly tasty; they're also available to purchase online. You can order a tea, elixir, chai, etc. and enjoy it while sitting in their indoor or outdoor seating area. I'm glad I found this place. I can't wait to stop back again the next time I'm in the area.

Pro tip: buy more ginger elixir than you think you will need, one tends to go through it very quickly.

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.

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.

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!

I popped in one winter lunch break and was hypnotized by the promise of that cocoa comfort I love. Ridge C. isn't just another cozy café. They have an entire wall lined with spices and loose-leaf teas in clear, labeled Mason jars. It's like a tea lover's dream. I was in my element. But let's talk hot chocolate. The first time? Disappointing. Bland. Still, I gave it another shot. This time requesting they go heavy on the chocolate. Nope. My 'heavy on the chocolate' request slipped into thin air, because round two was just as bland. Tip: Parking on Main Street is a nightmare and the meter maid's out here like it's a sport. Save yourself and look for a side street instead.
