British Teapots and Shepherd's Pie in the West Village

Browse imported British sweets, then settle in for shepherd's pie or a pasty with beans at a tiny Greenwich Avenue shop.

Stop in for a proper pot of tea.

🫖 A Little Britain

Carry On Tea & Sympathy packs a small corner of Greenwich Avenue with shelves of flowered teapots, tins of loose tea, and stacks of imported biscuits and chocolate. Union Jack bunting hangs over the window, and a wooden bench waits out front.

The hot food leans classic British. Shepherd's pie comes out with a browned top and a side of peas, a Cornish style pasty arrives with baked beans and mash, and the same shelves sell loose tea and holiday selection boxes to take home. Reviewers rate it 4.5 across 13 visits.

It fits a slow afternoon tea, a comfort food lunch, or a gift run in the West Village.
