We stopped in on a rainy Sunday, and I am glad we did! I have so many Harney & Sons teas I have bought throughout the years, but this was the first time stopping by the store. It is a must for fans of tea! They had 3 featured teas you could try (including one of my favorites - White Christmas), and then each person could choose one to try from the wall - and there were a ton of choices. I tried the Paris Herbal Rooibos, my husband tried the 2015 Pu-Erh, and my sister-in-law tried the Lemon Ginger. It was a very enjoyable experience. The guy behind the counter was very knowledgable and helpful. We ended up buying a genmaicha, which is delicious. They have a separate section that is a cafe with tea flights that I am very eager to try when I am back in NYC. I also had a conversation with an employee about how Harney & Sons is working on moving away from plastic silk bags, so that's a plus!

We stopped in to sample some hot tea on a very cold SoHo afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised to see they had flights and each got one. The presentation was amazing! The portion is large for the price. We were lucky to get seats as it got pretty busy after we arrived. Service was good and the employees are happy to make recommendations. There are 2 sampling counters which I found confusing. They have a large retail area and we both purchased tea to take home. The sampling counter had holiday flavors which was great! This is a great experience and opportunity to find some new tea flavors to enjoy.

Always fun to stop in and check out the tea of the month. You are allowed to sample the three monthly teas and any one tea from the shelf. It's a great way to experience a new tea and also try it before buying it. They also have a cafe where you can have tea, plus an area where they sell it prepackaged or loose leaf. I make an effort to go every time I'm in NYC and SoHo. It's quiet, airy, and comfortable. The workers are friendly and helpful.

Tea set tasting at their cafe in the back

I'm in love with this tea shop! A friend has recommended this place and I just happened to stumble upon it while around this area. I wouldn't have went it if I didn't remember my friend's recommendation. I think what makes this place fun to visit is the variety of teas they carry in store. They basically have any tea you can think of plus more. Not only that, they also have complimentary tastings on weekdays. You get to select two flavors to try and any additional will be ($3 or $5 each?). I came on a weekend so I didn't know but I did get their tasting set (4 teas) at the cafe area in the back. The limit to the tasting set is the flavors are preset so you can't just select the ones you're interested. The experience was well thought out though- they give you a brochure that has descriptions on the tea you're drinking including a back story. I can't wait to come back during the weekdays to do the tasting!

Wow, great flavor!  Love this brand

My latest morning treat has been finding and drinking this particular brand of tea. Thank you Marianne W of NY Yelpland for continuing to feature this tea from your state. I started this adventure at Christmas time with the Hot Cinnamon mostly because I luv luv luv cinnamon and this tea brand was featured on a Target advertisement. I bought eight cans to include in gift bags for family & friends and of course had to try it too. Impressive flavor, herbal so I could enjoy it anytime of the day. The only time I've had cinnamon tea this pungent was when I brewed cinnamon sticks and it's a bit of a hassle. All the flavors are unique and of the seven I've purchased I have not been disappointed. As I noticed Marianne's review and photos I started checking out Harney and Sons website and buying cans from them and on Amazon too. I'm going to need a shelf in my pantry just for my new passion. Awesome flavors.

Spicy tea tasting

Enjoy a tea tasting in their cafe section. They also have scones to order with your tea.

Harney & Sons is one of my favorite tea places, and the iced Black Currant tea is my favorite flavor (sweetened or unsweetened). The space is nice and clean, with a sit down tea area in the back of the store. Customer service was friendly when I ordered my beverage. The tea comes out rich with flavor as they make sure to steep it for the correct amount of time. If you want to sweeten your tea, they have a variety of complimentary sweeteners - agave, honey, simple syrup. Before leaving, I made sure to snap up some bottled tea to bring home!

Fanciest Formosa Tea Sample
Carina H.

I sampled the Fanciest Formosa tea, which reminded me of some of the oolong teas I've tried in Taiwan. I also had a few sips of the teas of the day, all unique flavors that were nice and that I would never have thought to try otherwise. I appreciate how patiently the staff made our sample teas and made conversation while doing so! There was a steady flow of customers on a weekend morning, but I appreciated how it wasn't too crowded. The volume of conversation offered some ambiance without being too loud. The staff was helpful, offering suggestions for tea based on my preferences when I asked for help. I blind bought a green tea based on a suggestion and ended up liking it.

I love tea and this was absolutely a wonderful experience. I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of teas but also I was like a kid in a candy store. The packaging was so beautiful and I immediately thought about reusing them as decorative pieces. What I enjoyed most was chatting with the tea sommelier's and trying the delicious samples they had to try. I loved that you can try a tea sample of your choosing for free and then $3 for any other samples. This was a great way to try a tea to be sure you like it before buying. Service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. They also had a sit down area to try tea and get tea to go. I also loved how the had the tea like a library with a ladder to get them, so cute, library of teas. I definitely bought tea to bring back home but will definitely be ordering from them until I can get back to NY to visit again.

Realizing I only had so much space in my luggage, I only went with my favorite.

When I was planning my trip, I racked my brain trying to think of places I wanted to visit. After randomly checking my kitchen cabinet, I was reminded of the Harney & Sons location in SoHo! For years, I've been ordering their tea online but not only have prices gone up as they will, now I have to order a certain amount to get free shipping. Obviously a trip to their shop eliminates all of that. What made me want to check them out even more was that they have a little tea shop in the back of the store where one can sit and relax for a while. I went through their menu online and found numerous teas I wanted to try, but I knew I had to narrow it down to one. Upon entering, I was greeted by one of the guys behind the tea bar area on the left, and my choice tea I wanted to purchase was easy to find on the display wall to the right. At that bar area, you could sample tea, but I think it was only the tea that they had for the day so I'm unsure if you can select your own. When I went to make the purchase, the girl working didn't seem as though she wanted to be there, but the transaction was thankfully a simple one. Made my way back to the counter where I decided on a cup of the white Ceylon Vintage Silver Tips (this is a specialty tea, therefore costs a couple dollars more) and a pair of vanilla scones with cream and strawberry preserves. At the time, there were only two patrons so I took a seat at the farthest table at the wall. A hot teacup and the scones were brought out shortly and by now, the seating area was filling up. The tea was on the lighter side, and I'm glad I tried it here; as it's not something I would buy a bag of. Scones are always messy, but this was worth it; the cream and preserves would be perfect with any of their hot tea selections. This was a wonderful way to pass the afternoon; I can see why so many would want to come and enjoy the space, whether with someone or solo. I already know what tea I want to select for my next visit.

I love this place. The staff is very friendly. The have a huge selection of all kinds of tea; Black, Flavored Black, Green, Flavored Green, White Tea and Herbal etc.

Harney & Sons SoHo has been there for a while. It's a cafe and introduces you to their flavorful teas. My daughter reminded me recently that we have been and need to return. She spotted the tins of tea at CVS and got me started buying all the flavors. When you find a flavor you really love you can go to the website and order large quantities for a reasonable price. Right now I've got about 200 tea bags of various flavors all Harney's! I've been sharing with my local friends and they love them. Today I'm having the Vanilla. I like the simple ingredients and the delicious taste that doesn't need sweeteners! Check for Harney and Sons in your local Target store. They have a wide variety in store and online. Also check out their website and learn about their company and products. Finally come to SoHo and invite me for teas and pastries. It's a great atmosphere.

It's tea heaven, and you can even have tea tastings. The Earl Gray London, delicious, and it soothed my sore throat. Great place to purchase tea, and or sit and relax. Will check out again and again

Small shop, great service, excellent drinks, & tasty treats!…read more Of the two drinks, the black sesame latte was by far one of the best lattes I've had in a while (granted I have had a latte in a while...). If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

I had seen their cute pastries online and wanted to check them out. We got the items above and a few coffees. The cakes are cute. Tho not as light and fluffy as I was expecting. I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

I came here today to experience local matcha from Kijitora, a local matcha place that was all about…read morecats! Everything was cat They had a lot of merchandise dedicated to cats! The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
