Looking to indulge in something sweet, sip a proper afternoon tea, or enjoy a pastry worth writing home about? You’re in the right place. In this guide, you’ll find our favorite spots, plus recommendations from friends, family, and tour guests. You’ll also discover some of NYC’s most beloved bakeries, dessert shops, and tea rooms.
We chose these bakeries and tea rooms because they consistently deliver delicious treats, warm service, and inviting atmospheres. For instance, you might crave a delicate macaron, a slice of creamy cheesecake, or a warm cookie fresh from the oven. Or perhaps you’d prefer a perfectly brewed tea, a rich hot chocolate, or a smooth cappuccino. Whatever you choose, there’s something here for every sweet tooth and every occasion.
First, the restaurants are grouped by neighborhood. Next, they are arranged by the type of food they serve. In addition, we’ve included street and avenue ranges so you can find them easily on the map. As a result, it’s simple to navigate. Price ranges also use the familiar “$” symbols so you can quickly see what fits your budget.
Finally, if your experience at any of these bakeries or tea rooms doesn’t meet those standards, please let us know. We’ll review it and may update the list. In short, this guide reflects honest recommendations from locals.
