Very Pretty Ambience. Excellent collection of Green Tea and Herbal Tea. They have a small but very good Food menu. Perfect place for Girls outing
Atmosphere: 5 I love the decor in this restaurant! Each seating arrangement has its own charm and they're all so instagram ready! They have an electronic menu as well as a paper menu. I found the electronic one a bit cumbersome, but their paper one is fine. Just note that there is a hot and cold drink label on the right edge of the menu to indicate whether the listed items are cold or hot. Service: 5 The service tended to be on the slower side. Once you've ordered, it does take a while for the tea and food to arrive. Although, I do think the brewing of the tea takes a few minutes. If you're seated in the booth tucked towards the front of the restaurant, make sure you really wave to flag them down. They don't really come to you. Flavors: 5 I'm so impressed with their tea! I love it. Especially the hot ones that come in a pot. So worth it and the tea is so flavorful. The desserts are also really good. They aren't too sweet and perfectly balances with tea! I recently tried their lunches and had their turkey sandwich. Their bread is perfectly toasted. I didn't want mayo in it, but they didn't offer anything else to put in place of it.... Like mustard. So the sandwich came out kind of basic. It came with a salad which was pretty basic too. Sadly, the sandwiches that my mom and husband ordered didn't come with the buns pictured. My mom ordered the sukiyaki one which has a baguette in the photo, but came with toast bread like mine. My husband's was supposed to come with a hamburger type bun, but also came with toast. I asked the waitress and she said they are all come with toast bread instead. Overall, I'd go there again. Their turkey sandwich is definitely not worth it. Their desserts and teas are great though!
The concept is very cute, but the food is average at best. If the food can be better and fresher, I would definitely be a frequent visitor.
Great food, service was okay-- slow at times. Very cute place! I had the mango black tea, which was very good. We shared the salted crispy chicken as an appetizer and I had beef sukiyaki burger, which was delicious. I would recommend! Would be nice if there was one in north Jersey!
Came by with some friends and we all just got one desert each and we were all so pleased! I got a mango mielle,, fríend got a strawberry shortcake and the other lava cake. The service is great with a little robot that brings your food over. The deserts were soo good. I will def be visiting one closer to home
The tea trays of food are top notch, special, beautiful to every fresh detail. All the pastries a flaky, light, fresh. The tiny sandwiches are pretty and delicious. A lot of assortments of tea to chose from and always hot since it is served on a warming candle. There is a neat little robot which drives around bringing your tea and food, then a server pours your first cup of tea. We went for a Christmas lunch w our female family and it was a special treat. I would have given 5 stars but the decor wasn't very up to date ( we didn't care but others might). The atmosphere was festive, fun, laughter from other tables, upbeat, and good. Very enjoyable place.
TLDR: Modern Asian take on high tea Located in a strip mall, Prince Tea House is a cozy little space with bright lighting and friendly staff. We came by to try the tea set for two, which though pricey (as it always seems to be), was a delightful splurge. Prince Tea house features Asian flavors and pastries - a refreshing, fun spin on the typical English finger foods. Our options of tea was close to what you might find in a bubble tea shop or Chinese restaurant. I opted for a milk tea rather than a traditional tea - it was similar to a warmed tea that you would buy at a chain tea shoo ( a plus in my book) The friendly staff paired with warm ambience made the experience a novel delight
This location was priced fairly, but the way it operates is hard to navigate: 1. You have to make a reservation for a booth, but their reservation system wasn't working. 2. Even if you order before another table, depending on what machine is bringing out their food, that other table could get their food must faster. 3. Many of my food items were hard/stale. I expected the cake and toast to be made fresh, not earlier in the morning (as the waitress informed me it was). 4. The store is often closed for parties, but they don't put signs up indicating that. We walked into a bridal shower not realizing they were holding a private party. It's cute and not expensive, but I wouldn't come here again.
I actually was supposed to go here when they first opened this location through a Yelp invite to review and I got sick and didn't go, have been meaning to go for I'm guessing must be 4 plus years now. I expected it to be a free standing building or nearer to the heart of the town of Princeton, was surprised when the GPS brought us to a strip mall, with an Amish farmers market and a dollar store. Nonetheless we went in, they had a cute little sign and we were seated by a quiet young girl, who also became our waitress. The menu was quite extensive as far as teas, drinks, their food options were limited, not the normal "tea-house" food, definitely an Asian flare, which I didn't expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Their menu was extensive, offering appetizers, salads, sandwiches and "afternoon teas" for one, two, or 3 which composed of mini sandwiches, scones, mini desserts & tea of your choice. I believe their tea menu was the biggest I've ever seen, varieties of green, black, white, oolong, herbal, milk, fruity, iced, bubble, a variety of other beverages and mocktails. We all decided on teas and sandwiches, we had 2 Prince Passion Fruit Tea & English Toffee Milk Tea. For sandwiches we decided on 2 avocado sandwiches and a turkey sandwich. Here's why I didn't give 4 or 5 stars, you had to order using the QR code, on the menu there was an option for zero sugar on the app. one sugar was the lowest option and we wrote in the notes, sugar on the side. So after looking at the extensive menu we were then told to use the QR Code which took a long time to do. At one point we heard this strange noise above the music then a "pet me" we turned around to this "BOT" scared us at first then we laughed, it passed us bringing food & tea to another table. I thought cool, we get our own food from there, the hostess/waitress is for seating & questions. But when our "kitty bot" came with our food/tea the waitress, petted her & pressed buttons on the bots command, but also gave us our tea & plates. Seemed redundant. Tea had sugar in it and sugar was given on the side in a bowl! Presentation was lovely, tea (although too sweet) was lovely and sandwiches were ok. I may try again with the "afternoon tea"? We weren't rushed, we were allowed to sit and chat as long as we wanted. Loved the tea, not the sandwiches, may be better to go for tea and dessert? Very cute place and tea sets are adorable.
Prince Tea House is truly a gem! I visited on a Sunday with my friend around lunch and was seated immediately. This place is so cute! The ambiance, the food and the service were all amazing. I had my eyes set on the brown sugar boba crepe cake. We decided to try a bunch of different menu items such as: - Jardin Tropical Tea - Brown Sugar Bubble Crepe Cake - Strawberry Shortcake - Sweet Potato Fries - Twister Fries - Turkey Club - Vegan Sandwich The food is brought out on a robot too, how cool! All the food was delish! They have a huge variety of teas which I love. You can order straight from your phone which limits the waiter/customer interaction which is fine (an introverts dream LOL). This place is perfect for a celebration. I saw them setting up a baby shower in the back that was so cute. I highly recommend this place for any celebration!
Once upon a time, my girlfriends and I went to Alice's Tea Cup in NYC where we feasted on finger sandwiches, scones complete with homemade clotted cream and raspberry preserves, and of course, wonderful pots of tea. While central New Jersey has a few places for high tea, none came close to Alice's Tea Cup. Then I heard about an Asian-European place that serves fusion desserts, brunch, and afternoon tea. I'm intrigued. Off we went and arrived at a run-down-looking strip mall which will make you question if you even arrived at the correct address. It should be noted, parking is a breeze as they have a community parking lot. Upon seeing the restaurant's signage, we concluded we did arrive at the right address. Definitely, "looks can be deceiving" because once you walk through their doors, you will be magically transported into a warm, relaxing, and immaculate tea parlor. Quite a stark contrast to the outside. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and she sat us at a booth. After scanning their digital menu, we decided on their famous Afternoon Tea for Two. A fun kitty cat robotic- server appeared shortly with our teapots. In case you didn't know, you can also adjust the level of sweetness for your teapots. Soon after, the adorable robot-server was back with our three-tiered tray, as it sang a Happy Birthday song to me since we were celebrating my birthday. Hearing the robot-server singing was priceless. LoL. The three-tiered trays consist of more desserts than actual finder sandwiches which were a bit disappointing to me but Hubby loved that. The desserts are decadent and not overly sweet, thankfully. Is this place worth the trip back? We definitely want to try their appetizers and sandwiches as we spied some other patrons enjoying them. Plus Hubby is hooked on sweet milk tea and their desserts. You can have your cake and then some.
I came here with my boyfriend on New Year's Eve, and it was such a great experience! The staff are very accomodating and gave us recommendations to their favorite desserts. The cafe is also aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. Great place for meeting up with friends and family. My boyfriend and I ordered Earl Grey Milk Tea, Purple Yam Souffle, and Mille Feuille. They were all very delicious! The desserts were not too sweet, which I liked! My favorite was the Purple Yam Souffle. It was just the perfect consistency and it went well with the vanilla ice cream. We originally wanted to get the Purple Yam crepe, but it was all sold out by the time we went. I would highly recommend going earlier in the day if you would like to try their different crepes! Overall, both my and my boyfriend had a great time here! We loved the desserts we ordered and will come back for more!

Had afternoon tea here with a couple of friends, it was a wonderful experience. One friend has several food allergies that they were able to accommodate separately (that's why the sandwiches with fish ingredients are on a another plate). Normally we're supposed to order using the QR code on the table and we would select from a pre-set list, but because we had such a complicated order, we needed to order in person and the waitress was super patient with us. We were also able to order teas we normally wouldn't have been able to using the QR code (not all the teas in the menu are available for selection for afternoon tea for some reason). Sandwiches were all delicious, scone was very nice as well. I wasn't a huge fan of their crepe cakes or macarons - very sweet without being able to tell what the flavors were. Mango smoothie and mini chocolate croissant were good though. Decor inside was simple but looks elegant, nice ambiance and appropriate for tea time! read more

3.5/5 Came here with my mom and I and we enjoyed what we got for the most part. The tea was and interior of the place were my favorite aspects. For 70 bucks we purchased the afternoon tea set. For what we got I can't say I was really blown away by what we received. Like I said the tea was very nice, plus the scones were good. However, the assorted pastries/deserts lacked much taste. The selected sandwiches were also sub-par at best. The "beef" within the bacon and beef croissant was a hotdog, which for 70 bucks I'd expect a bit better than that. The other sandwiches were fine. When ordering you use a QR code and scan it and some remote thing delivers it. I probably would return again for the afternoon tea, maybe for a few cups of tea read more

Had such a fun experience at Prince Tea House! The food/desserts are delicious and the tea is also fantastic! This is the perfect place to catch up with friends over a warm cup of tea. I came with two friends on a Sunday afternoon. We called ahead to place our name on the waitlist and were seated right away. There was a lot of people waiting to be seated, so I would definitely recommend calling ahead, especially during busier times. They have a way to order from your table using your phone. However, it did not work for us and we had to order with a staff member. Unfortunately, when we came, they were VERY busy and not well-staffed. So it was a bit difficult to order items and they took a while to bring out our food/tea. They have a HUGE selection of teas (including bubble tea). There's also many desserts, sandwiches, and appetizers to pick from. We opted to share individual items rather than get the Afternoon Tea. The highlight of my visit was the green tea crepe cake! It was so sweet and tasty and perfect for sharing. We also got the purple yam soufflé and fruit toast, both of which come with a scoop of ice cream and were amazing! The twister fries were average, but a good break from the other sweet desserts we got. Overall, I absolutely loved the tea, desserts, and decor! I'll definitely be coming back here again soon to try more of their teas (hopefully during a less busy time). read more
Delicious variety of teas packed with aroma and flavor. The one I ordered was very fruit forward. Adorable tea cups and overall aesthetic of presentation. The brown sugar crepe cake with boba was one of the yummiest desserts I have ever had. So unique. The flavor had a cozy essence, the texture so dense and creamy yet fluffy and light at the same time. It's a must get! It is oddly placed in a vacant shopping center, but fear not, once you step inside you are transported into the daintiest and most elegant tea room. Classical music playing to set the tone. Perfect for a bridal shower or similar. The staff was quick and accommodating. read more
This place is right off route 27 and in a shopping plaza, so it was at first hard to notice. However, the inside speaks volumes. It has a great interior, is well very organized, and even has a robot bringing out orders - very futuristic! They have an assortment of crepe cakes and desserts to pair with the teas. There are a ton of options when it comes to the teas - milk teas, green teas, etc. You can customize how much sugar you want too. I highly recommend the crepe cakes and teas but it's not worth getting the sandwiches and sides. read more
This location is not in Princeton proper, as it is located at the Kingston shopping mall with an Amish market, Chinese restaurant and Indian bakery as its neighbors. Inside is a different world that is perfect for afternoon tea, which is what my family came for. Asian-owned and European-inspired, Prince Tea House offers an interesting range on their menu, with a variety of matcha items and appetizers like takoyaki (Asian), full service tea (British) plus macarons and crepe cakes (French)! Don't come hungry or else you'll be disappointed, because it is light fare when it comes to food. Tea is the star of the show here, and there are multiple options for anything you might fancy. Black tea, floral tea, milk tea, even one that tastes like coffee, plus other ones you may not have thought of. This is the 2nd Prince Tea House I've ever been to, despite other locations opening up since I've gone to the original Prince St location in Flushing's Chinatown. As a former New Yorker now living in central NJ, I am so happy that Prince Tea is here now! The owner/manager was very welcoming and she talked us through the menu. Already this type of customer service is unmatched in NY. You can relax and enjoy your time. There's also a fun cat robot that helps serve food, and sings Happy Birthday! Come here for a unique experience, and then come back again and again to try the different teas and desserts! read more

What a fabulous experience. The outside is a blah strip mall feel with boring standard green signage, but the moment you walk in it feels like you are in Lala land. Lit up Logo with pastel interiors, a cute host station , a side stand with their Tea pot set & loser tea varieties on display . Rebecca their manager greeted us with a smile & seated us. It was late afternoon so it was not very crowded. Dry flowers made into a beautiful wall art , books & little aftercare adorned the walls. The Lavender Oolong tea as the Yelp free offer with an order of crispy salted chicken . The tea was mildly aromatic , brewed to perfection and was a soothing start paired with the Salty chicken. Rebecca told us the chicken was not served with any dip or sauce which seemed unusual for fried chicken. We asked for spicy sauce & was given chipotle mayo. We were pleasantly surprised with the subtly salty yet elevated flavor profile of the fried chicken that it didn't need any dipping sauce. Was quite a unique creation and is one of their signature dishes ! It was served on a bed of lettuce. Katsu chicken sandwich was served with a side salad felt like a repeat of chicken, but the Katsu sauce made all the difference that it made the sandwich a stand out meal. Ponzu dressing for the salad was refreshingly creamy & light . For dessert we picked Purple yam Soufflé that takes 20 minutes to bake. It's another one of their signature dishes . Served hot out of the oven it's a classic eggy soufflé with an underlying yam flavor , lightly sweetened with Vanilla ice cream on the side. The hot & cold combo makes a fulfilling dessert . Such a unique concept with some delectable food choices in a cute setting , perfect for little parties or hang outs . read more

This cute tea house located in Kendal Park is just lovely. A great place to catch up with some GF's. The ambiance is modern Asian with twist for high tea. They even have a robot that comes out with your food. It also sings Happy Birthday - so sweet. Me and the girls loved every minute from the cute tea sandwiches, pastries, and the various teas. Great photo op. Would come again this time bring my mom. read more
This was a great tea house! The decor is adorable, just like a fancy tea house in NYC or London. There is also a wide variety of green, black, and floral teas - whatever you fancy. The teas come in an adorable ceramic pot heated by a candle, and there is a matching teacup for the tea. The whole set up reminded me of high tea in England! The food was also great. We got the salt and pepper chicken and fried squid since it's a Taiwanese place, and those are the classic Taiwanese specials. Both were well seasoned and delicious. We also got the fruit and boba mille crepe as well as the taro souffle. The boba mille crepe was such a cool concept, and it was delicious! The combination of black sugar, texture of the mille crepe, and the chewiness of the boba was wonderful. The taro souffle was fluffy and was wonderful with the vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend trying this place out for tea! FYI, there's an Amish market next door if you want everything from free range chicken to some beautifully crafted wooden chairs. read more
I've been here twice, once in 2022 and once last month to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Our first visit was pleasant - we ordered a few cups of tea and a boba crepe cake which was delicate and tasty with a good texture on the boba and the right thinness of the crepes. However, our recent visit was a bit concerning, especially since we both had stomach aches after our meal. I ordered the beef sukiyaki burger which was subpar, the bread was sort of strange to eat so I picked at the filling and ate the side salad. We shared the mixed fruit crepe cake and were disappointed at the fruit not being ripe and the cake simply... not tasting very good. This restaurant is a bit of a ghost town and the staff is young and seems a bit confused/it's difficult to get their attention. I'm sure the atmosphere is much more lively at other locations, especially in NYC! Despite the tasty boba crepe cake, I won't be returning especially due to our stomach aches. read more
Purple yam and green tea mille crepe cake, custard pudding, strawberry shortcake parfair and rose tea. Desserts were overall good, but the cake in the strawberry shortcake parfair was harder and dryer than I expected it to be. read more
Came here for a friends birthday this past weekend with a group of 9. I was a bit confused on how ordering works since there is a QR code on the table which you scan and can order from but the waitress said to order from her instead after we already made our selections through the code. We ordered three of the finger food stands which were cute and ordered different teas. The rose tea was my favorite, not too sweet. The tea cups and the small plates were all very cute and on theme (I.e: tea party). They do not serve alcohol but the place is BYOB. I ordered the Katsu chicken sandwich with a side salad and ginger dressing with twisted fries. The fries were room temperature when they arrived which was disappointing. The sandwich on the other hand and salad were both very good. The scones from the stand were my favorite. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, they had instrumental music playing at a low volume. This made us a bit sleepy after eating. There's a robot that brings the food from the kitchen to the table. The robot even plays a happy birthday song. The reason I removed three stars was because one of the girls at our table specified that she has a seafood allergy and asked if one of the stands could account for her allergy. When they brought the stand out it had crab and salmon on it and it was touching other non seafood items. When the girl raised this with the server she was told not to eat the fish items but instead to eat the other items. This was a huge no-no. As a restaurant you need to know better. An allergy is not a preference and it should be taken seriously to avoid any adverse reactions to the food served at your establishment. Blatantly ignoring an allergy is dangerous for the customers and the restaraunt. You need to care if you are serving people food. This is restaurant 101. To make matters worse, another individual at the table specified she could not have regular milk and asked that her tea be made with oat milk instead. The server brought out several teas of the same kind and when asked which had the oat milk in it, the server said she wasn't sure. This is simply unacceptable. Bottom line: if you want a cute place to try with your friends this may be the spot, but if you have a food allergy steer clear entirely. read more
A great spot to try out and bring your friends to enjoy the ambiance and great dishes. The teas were good! Their tower consisted of in house made selections of pastries, milli crepes, and savory apps. Will def come back for more tea time! read more
We did the tea for 3 people. Such a cute place we loved the ambiance. My daughter is 2 and she was obsessed with the cat robot who serves the food. She kept talking about it when we left. Food was tasty and I loved the English toffee milk tea. I want to visit again and try and ton of desserts they have! read more

This is the place to go to catch up with all your friends and have quality conversations and food with the sweetest ambience. Could sit here for hours! And I've lost track of how many times I've been here! Sometimes I come here days in a row and never get tired of it (in fact it's my second day here this weekend and I'm writing this review while waiting for my friend to get here) *more pics to come later when I find all the ones I've taken since prince tea house opened in Princeton * Favorite cold drinks: - Rose black tea, potted plant milk foam (The potted plant ones are best imo) Favorite hot teas: - the black tea selections - they're all pretty good, definitely get a pot of tea sometime! It pairs well with the food and desserts Appetizers: - love the buffalo wings (I used to not like buffalo wings too much but I loved how tender these were and the dipping sauce is so good) - fried squid tails are good -salted crispy chicken is good -takoyaki is good I haven't tried the fries or chicken rolls or salads yet Sandwich: - I get the California sandwich all the time. It's so refreshing and split in half, perfect to share with a friend Desserts: -purple yam soufflé - so good!!! Thinking about getting this again sometime. It was so warm and paired so well with the ice cream. Not that sweet. - crepe cakes - they're pretty good, what you would expect, but I'm curious to try the durian flavor!! - brown sugar bubble Mille cake- very sweet -fruit toast: very pretty and it was good, kinda sweet -coconut pan a cotta: enjoyed this!! -mixed fruit Mille crepe cake: it's pretty good Waffles: Chicken and waffle- this was just okay Afternoon tea for 2: My friends took me out for this on my birthday and it was such a sweet treat and it looked so cute! It's enough to share with 3 people! I tend to find afternoon tea sets to be on the sweeter side though - would love more savory!! read more
