Cute and elegant. A bit pricey, but average for the area. To avoid the weekend crowds, we stopped by early morning on a weekday. It was easy to get a table with no reservation and service was fast. Upon recommendation, I tried the rose petal pancakes. This is pretty filling as they come in a stack of 3-4. The syrup is rose infused, which is where much of the flavor comes from. They are pink pancakes and photo worthy. Taste wise, they were okay. The lattes are pretty, but nothing special in taste. There aren't many vegan options, but you will find a variety of teas and maybe a salad. The afternoon tea here is popular, but fills up fast. So make a reservation. Pancakes were $22 plus tax and tip is close to $28-30. Lattes range from $7.50-$9.
So I've been here before but this was my first time going for afternoon tea. It was so divine and delicious. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Fatima was our server and she gave amazing service. The decor of this place is still as beautiful as ever. I'm so happy to see that the quality of service I received a year ago is still the same.
Very pretty restaurant with classic dishes. Decor is stunning. Went with a large group of 10 on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated and served quickly. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon. The potatoes served on the side were crispy and not greasy. The serving size was perfect. Roughly around $20. Will definitely want to go back to try their high tea!
Afternoon tea review: No matter how old you are, you always have time to doll up and catch up with the girls over afternoon tea. That's what we did one tarde de domingo when it was still chilly outside. My cleverly named White Wedding was a sip of comfort that would have made Mr. Idol himself smile. Our tasty sandwiches were generously portioned and filled, with my favorites being the Tuna Salad and Smoked Salmon Rillette (complete with marbled bread!). Even the scones were softer, tastier and....butter-ier?....than many I've had elsewhere in the city. The least impressive part of our spread was actually the desserts. We got a couple of commonly flavored macarons, an Italian rainbow cookie and dark chocolate truffle (both identically sized). No creativity--the definition of phoning it in. Methinks they need to hire a real pastry chef. Still, for $48, I'll take it. The cute, floral, antique-y decor and friendly service make up for it. And I need to cut back on my sugar anyway (because of the dreaded diabetus...).
Came here since I saw such cute photos of their afternoon tea set. Was expecting something good. Got here with my girlfriends and it was a bit disappointing. It was cute decor but food was nothing special.
3.5/5 I had a reservation and thank god I did - the entire place was packed. It's also not that big of a space so you can see every table. I arrived a few minutes early, but was seated shortly. The hostess was not that nice; she just gestured to my table. Unfortunately we were seated right by the door so it was kind of cold. Our server, Santiago, took his time greeting me but apologized for huge delay. He was super nice and gave great recommendations. We got: - rose latte: this is super pretty but unfortunately just tastes like sweet milk/nothing. I would pass - milk oolong tea: presentation is cute. Comes in adorable teapot with a sand timer so we knew when to remove the tea leaves. - bourbon French toast: 10/10 - no notes! This was so yummy. It comes with bacon and berries. It doesn't come with syrup and instead comes with the a vanilla sauce that's perfect for dipping - salmon eggs Benedict: nothing crazy but it was solid. We substituted for fries, which were okay. I wish they were crispier - lobster ravioli: comes with 5-6 big pieces. Super tasty and you need to enjoy the pink champagne sauce! We were charged $2 for water, which is stated on the menu but I didn't realize we weren't given tap water... the same hostess who seated me started clearing our tea and water glasses without asking if we were done.. like no ma'am I am not done yet. So that was annoying. Besides her, Santiago was great and attentive!! He even brought me a blue teacup so it would match my dress!
Cute brunch place! Came on one of the freezing weekends in NYC and thank goodness we made a reservation. Was seated right by the door so whenever people came in and out, it was definitely chilly! Mocktails: Blueberry mule and Hibiscus Raspberry ($10 each). Both were good and they had fresh fruit on the drinks Brunch: We got two things to share - - French Toast: Bourbon Batter ($24) was topped with a few pieces of berries, caramelized pears and bacon. Toast was soft and tasted good with the vanilla sauce but felt like there was a bit too much bourbon personalluy as I don't drink that often. - Sammies: LH Club Sandwich ($21) served with french fries. Chicken was juicy and tender and the boiled egg was just right. Great sandwich and yummy skinny fries. The bread seemed to be some sort of whole grain or seeded bread that made it seem healthy but still delicious. FYI I didn't notice the veso water for $1 per person on the menu, so when I looked at the bill I was confused on what that charge was. Apparently they do not serve tap water. I inquired our server and told him that we barely drank the water so they removed the cost.
Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 10 Value: 5 Overall: 7 I rarely, if ever, give a perfect score for decor. However, it is the most attractive thing about this restaurant that brings in the customers, and I can see why. It is simply gorgeous! The beautiful wisteria on the outside of this brunch spot opens up into an opulent looking interior. You will feel like you're eating inside of a palace or fancy mansion. As for the food, it was decent, but I really wish it was better for the heavy price tags. I haven't tried much, so I'm willing to try come back for more of the menu. Here are my thoughts on the items I did try. Dirty Lavender w/ Espresso (8/10) - Very aromatic, rich tasting and quite delicious. Rose Tea Latte w/ Espresso (7.5/10) - If you like the smell and taste of rose, then this is a great beverage. Truffle Omelet (6/10) - For such a high price, I really wish the egg was cooked fluffier and not as dense. Otherwise, the truffle and Parmesan cheese paired well. Btw, you can get half a stuffed hash brown instead of the fries. Do it! Scones Basket & Clotted Cream (8.5/10) - These hot and toasty scones were the star of our meal. I prefer the thicker clotted cream and strawberry jam at Tea & Sympathy better, but not bad. Overall, a wonderful product that I will return for. Rose Petal Pancakes (6/10) - I am not a pancake fan in general, but I have had airy and fluffy versions before. This was not one of them. Rose syrup does give you the flavor it promised. Stuffed Hash Brown (8/10) - Slightly salty, but the two different cheeses they stuffed into the potato crust made the hash brown quite unique and yummy. Pork Sausage (8/10) - Not the largest portion, but nicely cooked and savory. I put a heavier value on the two entrees for the cuisine score because I don't think the restaurant should be mostly judged on its appetizers and side dishes. However, those items will likely be the reason I return.
Very picturesque spot with the wisteria from the store front to the floral and vintage themed interior decor. My friends and I dressed up for this brunch. Drinks were good. Selections of the food items were not different from regular brunch. Would come back to try their high tea sets. We reserved for the 3pm time slot and came about 10 minutes early and still have to wait 20-30 minutes for the table to be ready. While waiting, there was table already set up but the staff did not call any customers to the table, we saw that guests from another table go to that clean table and staff did not say anything. We saw there was a big party outside waiting already.
I went to the Little Hen for a friend's 30th birthday party & we all had a great time. First & foremost, a special shout out to our waitress Roberta who was easily one of the best waitresses I've had. She was clearly really busy as it was a Saturday & Little Hen is popular but she still made time for us & was very kind without being overbearing. She also helped us with our one too many questions about the menu haha. Here's what we ordered- Chilaquiles- really good & it really did remind me of the ones I've had in Mexico City (which is where our waitress is from & recommended). I also loved both the green & the red sauces equally- typically I tend to favor the red sauce haha. Chicken & waffles- honestly I've had better but these weren't bad. Eggs Benedict- a classic & Little Hen definitely did a great job with it as well, love that hollandaise sauce! Rose pancakes- yes they are very aesthetically pleasing but they are also quite tasty & unique, a must order for the table to share versus have as your own entree is my two cents. We also had a couple of drinks which were good but nothing special tbh. All in all, Little Hen & Roberta did a great job making my friends 30th birthday really special for her :).
Little Hen is the cutest brunch/afternoon tea spot! The decor inside is beautiful. People often go dressed up as if they are going to a tea party and have afternoon tea. My friend and I just had brunch, but everything was still delicious. We had a few of their signature cocktails and some of them come with a small presentation. The food was good. The rose petal pancakes are pretty to look at, but I didn't love them taste wise. My friend got the steak and she thought it was good. I highly recommend checking this place out. The service was great as well. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and welcoming.
Amazingly cute and vibey brunch spot - the decorations are gorgeous and PERFECT for an afternoon tea setting. I didn't get to try the afternoon tea, but the food is your standard brunch choices. I got the cheese and ham omelette. It was a little bit on the drier side and pricey, but still pretty good. I would say the dirty rose chai was unique, and super fragrant. If you're into fun brunch drinks, then this is a good spot to visit. Ty for reading :^)
This spot is so cute !! I met a friend here for afternoon tea. There's a lot of floral decorations, including fresh flowers on every table. We made a reservation, so we expected to be seated when we arrived, but we had to wait over half an hour longer to even get an update about a table. Not sure why it took so long to be seated despite having a reservation... what's the point of making a reservation then? The afternoon tea service comes with a pot of tea per person, and a shared tea tower with finger sandwiches, scones, and dessert. The tea was okay. I didn't like any of the desserts - they all just tasted like pure sugar (no flavor, just sugar) and had weird artificial after tastes. The scones were good but the clotted cream they provided wasn't really clotted cream: it was more like whipped cream. The lemon curd and strawberry sauce were both too sweet. The sandwiches were hit or miss. The fillings were good, but some of the bread tasted stale. Even though this spot is super cute, I don't know if I'll be back due to the lack of respect for reservation times and the low quality of most of the food. At least the pot of tea was good! I had the wedding tea and that was great.
We were drawn to this place for brunch for the vibes and were not disappointed. We had a reservation on a Sunday morning so we were seated right away. Otherwise it looked like there was a couple groups waiting outside. I ordered the Braised Short Ribs Eggs Benedict ($30) and for a drink I got the Milk Oolong Tea ($8). I also tried the Sconces Basket ($9). Everything that I tried was great. The yolks on the benedicts were perfectly runny, the short ribs were nice and tender, and they give you a whole pot of tea, so you definitely get a lot. They even give you an hourglass (that only measures maybe about 3 minutes) so that you know when your tea is finished steeping. The sconces also came with some cream and jam, and while I don't usually go for sconces, these were really good and not dry at all. The staff was very friendly and patient with us as we tried to make our decisions. There were just so many things that looked good we wanted to try them all! Super cute place for brunch and they also have afternoon tea which also seems like it would be fun to try out. read more
This place is cute with dainty decor. It strives for an elegant setting but the vibe is rushed and the place feels cramped. We were a party of 5 and were seated in 3 separate round tables for 2 put together. It was challenging to talk and 1 person was mostly on their own. There are 3 booths and 2 were being cleared. I asked if we can sit in one of the booths but the hostess gave a definite no. She said the reservations are assigned to the seating. It makes no sense because they could actually free up a table if we sat in the booth and the party of 4 who were later seated in the booth were given 2 round tables. The seating is rigid and inflexible. The food is pretty but the food was ok. The chicken in my chicken and waffles was a little dry. Other than the booths, most of the seating are small round tables. The restaurant itself is very small and the ambiance feels cramped. There is also a time limit for the seating which makes you feel rushed though we had enough time. Staff looked busy and manager even helped at times. In a true upscale, elegant restaurant, you'd see friendlier staff. Here, they were busy working hard with no time to be friendly read more

DELIGHTFUL NYC BRUNCH SPOT!!! Looking to have a more "shabby chic" kind of brunch in NYC, yelp search brought us a number of options, but the daintiness of Little Hen sure attracted Wifey for a "just you & me" experience. Reservation on their website was easy to make and apparently fills up fast, as there were no alternative options when we checked a few days later. Easy to get to Greenwich Village via subway and a short walk to eatery. The outer decorations of the eatery surely adds a lot of character to the local dreariness of the surrounding buildings. Looks like the "Smart Chic Dress Code" has been upgraded to "Glamorous Dress Code" for weekend brunch? Took a few minutes to acknowledge us... were they assessing if we passed the "smart chic" code?!?! LOL! I brought fancy shoes to NYC just for this, I better pass! Mostly ladies in the house and all were definitely rocking the "Smart Chic" and "Glamorous" look. Us dudes though, the few that were there, I was overdressed compared to them... DOH! The servers do not even have a hint of the "NYC 'tude" here! Elyse took care of us today... joyful smile, kind, answers questions happily, attentive, helpful... Wifey loved it! Ok, let's eat!!! BOURBON BATTER FRENCH TOAST: OMG! BEST French Toast I've ever had! It's was that good! And we weren't even considering it until, our server Elyse, said it was on her hit list. Visually pleasing when it arrived, but more importantly, the taste was fabulous! That vanilla sauce at the bottom of the serving plate?!?! HOLEY MOLEY! That was straight up BOUGIE! Didn't even need maple syrup with that sauce in effect. French Toast pieces were flavored and cooked to perfection. Bacon pieces were crisp and the pear complimented the dish well. BOMB! AVO SALMON TOAST: Smoked salmon on Avocado Toast?!? What a concept! Never have seen that on The Left Coast so far! Wifey definitely locked in to that. She enjoyed it. Ample serving of salmon. Loved the chunkiness of the avocado. Not for me on a cold morning lol TRUFFLE OMELET: This was something I've never seen before, and completely piqued my interest. Is it truffle flavoring or actual truffle??? Oooo... Actual Truffle shavings! Let's do it! When it landed on our table, the truffle aroma was delightful! The size of the omelet was something you'd expect at this kind of eatery, and not the kind of monstrosity you'd devour at a Black Bear Diner. The egg was perfectly fluffy, and there were enough truffle shavings that you had one with every bite. The Parmesan was actually shavings, not crisps, which I actually prefer. The mushrooms inside were not so overwhelming that it took away from the truffle flavor. Solid omelet! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom NOM level Is high! Would recommend getting reservations if you plan on sampling the yummies here, as multiple parties were turned away while we were there. Props to our server, Elyse. She was on point! Definitely something we will return to, whenever the chance arises! Enjoy! :) read more

What a cute little restaurant for tea and brunch. I was in awe of the atmosphere with every little detail of a tea and brunch experience, the table decor, the chandeliers, etc. The service was extraordinary I got an immediate check in upon arrival and throughout my dining experience. The food was great and I can't wait to go back when I have more time and not rushed to get to broadway play to enjoy some tea too. read more
Looking for a cute brunch spot for you and your girlies? Little Hen is it! Absolutely loved this restaurant. They had the cutest decor and the food was delicious. Their menu hosted an assortment of teas and beverages. Each tea order came in its own teapot. What I really enjoyed about this place is that their food menu was extensive. They had a full brunch menu. My friends and I went to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed. The food, drinks, and decor had us living our best girly lives. The service was also immaculate, our waitress was sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend this spot for brunch or even a solo date. read more
Nothing like being a little extra when celebrating your bestie birthday. I simple love this place, they are over the top and extra in true Leo fashion and I'm here for it all. The staff went above and beyond to create an excellent experience for that I'm greatly impressed. The food was standard but the service was premium. read more

Not sure if I could use any other word but CUTE. It is the most adorably sweet spot that really puts you in the mood for tea time. The brunch was great. My friends had the steak and eggs while I had the crab cake eggs benedict. A set of crispy crab cakes and a beautifully runny egg - it was picturesque and yummy. They also offer a tea time service where you order tea along with a snack tower including an assortment of macaroons, scones, and finger sandwiches. Though the flavors of the available sandwiches weren't my favorite, I still enjoyed the macaroons and scones. The tea was a sweet touch. Our waiter, who seemed very busy, attended to us and explained as much as he could. The tea time explanation was a bit blurry but in the end I think we were all happy with the outcome. Honestly, have enough camera space for the amount of photos you will take. It's just so CUTE! read more

We really enjoyed our tea here. Everything was delicious, from the scones with fruity preserves, to the truffle fries, and especially the tea. We ordered a glass of bubbles to accompany our tea service and it was a great addition. The restaurant is very cute. However, it has tables very close to one another and the tables are pretty small, but we made it work. The staff was very lovely. I'd definitely recommend and would definitely go back. read more

OMG, what can I say about Little Hen? Just get dressed and go! We had such a wonderful time. The ambiance was beautiful, cozy, and absolutely adorable. The service was great, and the entire experience felt so special from start to finish. The food was delicious, and we had the best time being girls drinking tea, enjoying scones, and catching up. They also have a full bar if you're looking for something a little stronger. I'll definitely be back and will be bringing my girls with me next time. Highly recommend for a cute brunch, tea date, or girls' day out! read more

I came here with a friend for the $38 afternoon tea service, which was very reasonably priced. This was only offered in the late afternoon and reservations need to be made several weeks in advance. The interior was gorgeous, elegant, and classy with colorful flower arrangements, pretty hanging lights, calming blue and gold color scheme. The space was limited though, and felt pretty cramped. For the tea, my friend and I selected White Wedding and Corazon de Cien Fuegos. I preferred the White Wedding, which consisted of white tea, jasmine, lavender, rose petals, and orange. The tea was light and fragrant. Corazon de Cien Fuegos was a herbal tea, with hibiscus, lemongrass, rose petals, along with lavender and cinnamon. This one was stronger, more bold in flavor, with much more tartness and acidity. In total, 4 different kind of sandwiches, including Cranberry Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Tuna Salad, Cucumber Dill & Smoked Salmon Rillette. The Chicken Salad was my favorite. It was well seasoned and flavorful. The Egg Salad and Tuna Salad were also tasty. I didn't really try the Cucumber and Salmon one, because I am not a fan or uncooked fish. Scones came with clotted cream, strawberry compote, as well as lemon curd. The Scones were enjoyable, soft, slightly crisp and were even better with the clotted cream and toppings. There were also Macarons and Chocolate Truffles. Macarons were decent with a nice chewiness to them. Truffles were mouthwatering, rich bites. Service was pretty good. Our waitress was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. The establishment only accepts cash. Overall, the afternoon tea service was a good value, but did not provide much variety of sandwiches or sweets. I would return for brunch to try the Steak & Eggs or Bourbon Batter French Toast. read more

Came here for afternoon with my girlfriends on a Friday afternoon. The store front is beautiful with wisterias (fake ones) hanging along the window and the inside is just as pretty with real florals throughout the restaurant. We were a party of 6 and because of allergy reasons, 4 of us ordered their afternoon tea set which included 5 finger sandwiches, 2 scones, an assortment of macarons and a choice of tea. Their finger sandwiches were good. It's not anything fancy but they were solid. Their breads were soft and pillowy and I especially liked their cranberry chicken salad which had chunks of chicken with a hint of sweetness from the cranberries. Their scones were also very buttery and flaky. We were given cranberry and apricot scones in which both were very good without it being too sweet. They were paired with strawberry jam, lemon curd and "clotted cream". The lemon curd was very good. Not too sour and balanced well with the sweetness from the scones. The only thing I had to complain about is the clotted cream was more like whipped cream then actual clotted cream. As for the dessert, it's really not what I was hoping for not realized it's the norm for most places in the city. I was really hoping for real desserts, like a small tartlets or cakes but instead, we were given macarons and chocolates. The macarons were however good. The shell was chewy and it wasn't overly sweet. This was expected for the price point so there's nothing to complain about. In fact, some other places in the city charge more for their tea set and we were still only given macarons for desserts. I really wanted to order the milk oolong tea but they were unavailable so I opted for the Queen's guard and I really enjoyed it. It had the bold black tea flavors with a subtle hint of florals and it is indeed a perfect tea when you're surrounded by florals. One thing to note is they do not let you change your tea to coffee so one of my friend had to order a separate order of coffee to get her coffee fix. Another thing to note is when I tried to book for the afternoon tea on Resy, it said afternoon tea starts at 3pm. Apparently, they offered afternoon tea all day so you can make a reservation for 1pm and the tea set would be available. Overall, this is a great place for a girls get together. Very instagrammable as it's very beautiful inside and the food did not disappointment. Although I noticed the tea set price did increase from $38 to $48 per person, it is still reasonable compared to other options on the city. read more

The place is adorable! Such a cute vibe and very spring-like. It is small so the tables aren't very spaced out but that's usual for the city. Our waiter was amazing, super attentive and friendly. We got their afternoon tea ($38 a person) and it was good - the tea we got (waiter recommended) was subtle and fruity, the sandwiches were okay, and the scones really took the crown so definitely a must try if you stop by. I also got their rosé sangria which was a very cute drink and surprisingly good. Overall it's definitely a place you go to for their aesthetic and to have a nice atmosphere, I think it's a good place and it has solid food options. read more
I had a very wholesome time with my friends at Little Hen. I liked that we got one of the booths tucked in the corner as that gave us privacy. The decor and the vibes are exactly what you want for a girly tea party. The scones and the finger sandwiches were yummy. The tea was really smooth with floral notes. One of the staff was really sweet and took pictures for us. read more
The place is really cute. Definitely an influencer spot. We went for brunch on a Saturday and while the service was completely fine, the food was a bit disappointing. It was just ok but fairly expensive. The rose pancakes were unique but the taste wasn't great. I wouldn't go back but it was a fine experience. Maybe their tea service is better. read more

atmosphere was great but services were so so. Only one person was running so we needed to wait until she's finished with other customers. she had too much confidence to run all, however, when we asked milk (small) for the tea, she didn't tell us it would cost $1..... we ordered different milk of 2 and we were charged $2. She should've told us. while she was talking long time with other customers, we asked at the counter, (we figured they were extra nicer lol.....) she looked at us to give me a face :( When we entered, same person told us that there was a reservation but no one really arrives. Tip: You can ask for take out - coffee/tea at the counter. They'll give you a flower design cup to go :) when you have extra times to have patients, come in :) you'll have a good time. It's perfect time for some occasions. read more

Super instagrammable brunch spot that is just oh so cute. All the details and presentation are on point and on brand. The place is quite small and I definitely recommend reservations. Given how busy it was on a Saturday morning (I grabbed the first reservation time at 9:30 am) they didn't at all rush us to leave our table and let us continue chatting for a while after we had finished eating, only brining the bill when we asked them to. I appreciate how the menu has a wide range of options, from sweet to savory, from healthy to less-so. I opted to try the rose latte because why not, and actually quite enjoyed it. It didn't taste like drinking perfume, which I thought it might. The rose flavor was subtle but there. I opted for an omelet that was beautifully presented and totally satisfying. Not the best omelet I've ever had, but exactly what I expected. Definitely an aesthetics type place, and I'm here for it. read more
Wouldn't say it is the best high tea experience in Manhattan, but is definitely worth the price! Paid around $90 for 2 people. The vibes are super cute and perfect for a photo shoot/girlies brunch. Bring your camera! Starting from the bottom of the platter, the sandwiches were good. The egg salad and cucumber sandwich were the best. The scones were pretty good as well, dry but still edible with the clotted cream. The macaroons and chocolates on top were really bad. You're paying more for the ambiance and experience here rather than food. I got the house tea, and I put a lot of sugar in it. If you haven't been to Laudree yet, then go there first, but this is also a great option to check out. read more

I came here for afternoon tea for my friend's birthday. I made the reservation on Resy. The timing was really late though, they only had 4-5:30pm on the weekends for afternoon tea. Also, the place was a bit cramped with the tables really close to each other unless you have a group (4+ people) for a booth. Other than that, I had a good experience. The scones were warm, not dry, and really fresh compared to other afternoon tea places. The sweets were a bit boring but the tea sandwiches were pretty good. We had the White Wedding and The Queen's Guard teas which were very floral and tasted great. Service was friendly and fast. It's a cute place but it's a really small so be sure to make a reservation. read more
