Cha-An Teahouse
4.2 (1,319)cafe
This cozy Manhattan hideaway pairs seasonal Japanese afternoon tea with desserts like black sesame creme brulee.
Description


Beyond the tea sets, this small space hosts tea ceremonies and cultural classes. The environment is quaint and reminiscent of Japan, though the decor leans a bit sparse. While the tea selection has become limited, the menu features drinks like matcha jasmine and a fruity, unsweetened hibiscus tea. For sweets, the spreads lean prominently toward the sugary side, alongside matcha parfaits topped with hojicha ice cream. Service is quick, though the compact room means there may be a wait during peak hours.
