Bosie Tea Parlor

Extremely displeased. I will not return here and I used to (past tense) love this place.
I walked in and explained I was meeting two of my students. The Hostess proceeded to clear and wipe down the table. After being seated, a party of 4 walked in and she walked over to the table and asked how long my it would take he students to arrive. I told her 5 – 10 minutes and explained she needed the table back and was unsure if there would be one available when they arrived.
If your rule is to seat complete parties only, why would you give me a table and then ask for it back? Simply explain that to me when you see me arrive solo. That is rude and it is unacceptable. You all need to do better in the future.

Best of the best! Great tea selections and afternoon tea was amazing! I will Definitely come back!

This is my favorite place for high tea. Service is super friendly and not slow like other tea places I’ve been to. I recently brought two nieces there (in their 20s) and we shared the tea for two and shared two soups, French onion and asparagus. Loved everything they served us and it was so much that we had to take some to go. I was just a little sad that they didn’t have some of the flavors of macarons that we wanted but it was later in the day so I guess that’s how popular they are.

High noon tea at 3pm on a Wednesday! Enough room, but 80% of the tables were occupied
Bosie Tea Parlor (BTP) is one of the more affordable tea service
$ 34 per one person
$ 64 for two people
TEA
~2 cups of tea in one teapot
Earl Grey (black tea)
they have different varieties but the one we got had notes of sweet caramel had a bitter end taste. I suggest putting milk and sugar to get rid of any bitterness. Putting milk is a British thing to do!
My friend got a fruity white tea, it was divine and flagrant. It swirls up your nose.
LEVEL 1
Each person gets to chose 3 sandwiches of their choice
(Cucumber Dill, Curried Chicken, Egg Salad, Cheddar w/​sweet jam)
It comes in halves too, so it seems like you’re getting 12 pieces in the Tea service for 2.
Most come on whole wheat bread
My favorite sandwich was the Cheddar sandwiches! I love when cheese and fruit are paired together! The savoriness of the cheese and sweet jam pairing is something I would return for!
I wish I could have tasted more flavor from the others, like a punch of flavor.
LEVEL 2
Each person gets to chose 2 macarons
My friend and I chose
–Matcha
–Rose
–Dark Chocolate Raspberry
–Raspberry Yuzu
Comes with Lemon tea Cake and Matcha Tea Cake
2 chocolate cookies, 2 oatmeal raisins each person!
LEVEL 3
4 Scones with clotted cream and jam
–I love the combination between the sweetness of the crystals, buttery milky cream, the delightful sugaryness of the jam
SOOO GOOD, I would return for these scones too
You will be FULL if you attempt to eat everything!
SERVICE
We sat down, initial service was a little slow (~10 min), but it was a busy time. But the hostess was kind enough to let us know we existed and that she was coming.
Water was always filled! I LOVE THAT cause i’m a dehydrated whale like all the time.
Bathroom is clean and pretty!

I came from California for a few days vacation. Tea service was on my to-​do list, and I chose Bosie on Unilocal due to exellent pricing and reviews.
I made it here abt Noon on a Weds to find it was half-​empty, so pleased.
It was cozy inside with nice music selections playing. I ordered tea service for one w/​champagne, and let the propeietor select my sandwiches, tea, and macarons. I’m not a picky girl!
All the food was excellent and lived up to my expectations. I’m happy I was able to stop in and enjoy a respite from my busy day in the city. Highly recommend!

Super cute little spot to have tea and crumpets (or other tea related snacks).
I don’t really like tea, but I still thought it was quaint and charming. It fits in with the neighborhood.
I would go with a friend who liked tea, but I don’t have an intentions on going back on my own.

I had a day to myself a few months ago so I decided to finally stop by for a nice relaxing lunch with a good book. I was so happy I did — charming is a good word for the place!
Lucked out and got the corner table in the back by the bathroom (I also went on an off-​peak day where it wasn’t too crowded so there were 2 – 3 other tables to choose from). I had the Tea Service for one and chose a caramel tea after asking my lovely server for a recommendation or two (I think her name was Jessica — who was SO awesome! Warm, friendly and checked on me often, my water glass was never empty and I felt very well-​taken care of.).
The food was very filling — Much more than I expected it to be, definitely a plus! The tea service I chose came with:
* tea of course (1 small pot — I think it held about 1 – 2 cups worth)
* 3 different tea sandwiches (2 pieces of each filling) — I chose chicken salad, egg salad, and cucumber
* mini-​scones with house-​made clotted cream (which was so delicious! Clotted cream may not sound good — but it was divine!!)
* mini-​chocolate chip cookies
* Matcha green tea cake
* 2 macarons (I chose vanilla cheesecake and bacon maple)
Adored it here and can’t wait for my next visit!

Best tea parlor experience ever!
My sister chose this tea parlor for her bridal shower and I see why! All the positive reviews are right, it’s a cozy little parlor with very warm and accomodating staff!
We rented the entire venue since we had 18 guests and it was perfect for that party size. They had a really nice setup already so all we did was bring in some extra floral arrangements and balloons to give it something extra.
We had the full tea service so we had a variety of tea choices, finger sandwiches and scones with crème and preserves. Our party was very chatty so we had quite a bit of food left over which they offered to box for us so guests could take it home which was very kind.
The service and the venue was a 5 stars, and I’d probably put the food at 4 stars. I liked the teas (especially the island white and roobios) and the scones must have been amazing because they disappeared before I could taste one as did the macaroons.
The sandwiches were more hit or miss: loved the cheese and ?(fig?), salmon and cucumber sandwiches. But felt like chicken and egg salad sandwiches were pretty bland.
We did bring in extra desserts (cookies and cupcakes) which they allowed, but they were overkill and not needed. We also brought two magnums of champagne which they allowed (with an added $ 25 uncorking fee)
Note: they dont have a liquor license for hard alcohol, but champagne is allowed.
Overall, we had a lovely time and Bosie was a great venue

A bunch of my friends have been to Bosie’s and said wonderful things about the spot, so I decided to come here with my family for Mother’s Day brunch. I set up a reservation 3 weeks in advance anticipating it booking up. They have an interesting reservation policy — you can change your reservation up to 24 hours prior to coming, but for every person that does not show up, there is a $ 15 fee per person. I can understand that since it IS NYC after all and they have a small space, so it would be terribly rude to take up space from another person’s reservation. Additionally, they have a 6 person minimum for reservations, which to me was a bit annoying because I was originally going to only come with my sister and mother and I wanted to play it safe and have a reservation.
Regardless, the day comes and when we arrived we were seated right away, even though one of the people in our party was late. I greatly appreciated that. Three of us ordered the tea party and they were willing to make an exception for us and allow the rest of the party to order regular brunch entrees. Our waitress was great at giving us suggestions for types of teas we would like. My grandfather, the only male in the group, enjoyed his tea very much and he is a traditional tea drinking Chinese machine.
Service = I would give 4.5 stars. Food was honestly, quite average. My sister, cousin and I shared a 3 person tea party special and we got their chicken salad, egg salad, cucumber and smoked salmon sandwiches. We had dark chocolate, rose, jasmine and matcha macaroons. The chicken salad sandwiches were lovely — the others were quite average. Macaroons were also fairly mediocre. The other pastries were fine but they did not seem all that fresh to me.
At around 12:30pm, the waitress came over and told us they had a reservation coming in and even though she was fairly polite about it, it did make me antsy and uncomfortable. Otherwise, like I said the service was wonderful, décor very nice, neat and clean but the food was subpar, especially given the price we paid for it. I think this would be a cute location for a small bridal shower, but otherwise, I’m not sure I would return. Regardless, i am glad my Mom enjoyed her brunch entrée (she got the breakfast sandwich) and some tea — that’s what matters!

I had a small pot of the Jiangsu Jasmine and a Paris-​Brest (Pâte à choux, Praliné cream, and caramelized hazelnuts). The tea was as good as the jasmine tea I had when I lived in Shanghai, and the pastry was hazelnut-​y without being overpowering, with a firm texture that didn’t crumble in my hand or squish cream on my fingers during a bite.
Caitlyn (sp?) and Miguel were super friendly and hospitable, as you’d expect from a teahouse this cozy. We chatted about tattoos (Miguel has good taste) and they were attentive without being overbearing.
Thanks you two, I will be back next time I’m in the neighborhood!

If you ever see Bosie on Groupon or Gilt City, get it!
I’ve been here twice, once for a regular tea experience and another time for a bridal shower. Both times the servers were really friendly and accommodating. Having lived in London and New York, I know I’m a bit spoiled when it comes to tea-​ing in London. The food just keeps coming there but don’t expect unlimited scones in the States. Regardless, the quality at Bosie is really noticeable. The crab salad sandwiches and chicken salad sandwiches were unique, and the matcha pound cakes were delicate and beautifully presented.
We had a cornflower earl grey which was my favorite tea of the ones they served us.

What’s better than afternoon tea service? Why, super fancy boozy afternoon tea service at a reasonable price, of course! My friend had a Gilt City voucher, which amounted to us gorging on tea sandwiches, pastries, tea, and champagne like I imagine the Queen herself would for $ 35 a person.
The duck breast crostinis and crab salad sandwiches were delicious, but I was surprised to find the desserts more memorable here, because I’ve never had a huge sweet tooth.
The desserts here are interesting and beautifully presented. The buttery scones melt in your mouth, and paired with the clotted cream and jam, they’re unstoppable. The macarons come in a fascinating and unconventional variety of flavors, such as popcorn and olive oil. But wait, I’m a huge sucker for the DARJEELING TART, which was creamy, rich, and infused with potent tea flavor! The Ispahan was aromatic and flowery, which played a nice contrast to the tart. The Earl Grey mille crêpe fantastically tea-​flavored as well. This is probably one of the top, if not the best, tea service I’ve ever had, hands down.

This latest visit was as a party of four for dinner after happy hour. We were a bit more boisterous than the usual Bosie crowd. It was my friends first time and they loved it. Food was delicious and Ben did a great job with opening the bottle of prosecco.

The young lady serving us was super nice!
I highly recommend the island white tea! It’s peachy/​coconuty. I even bought 2 oz at $ 6 to take home.
The a la carte desserts are a bit pricey :(but still really tasty. Had the moyaka and a blueberry scone ($ 1 extra for jam and cream???)
Overall had a great experience! They bagged up some pastries for us to take home since they were close to closing: D

If you love macarons and all things French, Bejosie is definitely for you. I went there yesterday looking for something different to bring to a meeting. I was warmly greeted by Jessica who explained that the macaron chef had learned his craft from the ‘King of Macarons’ in France.
The macarons were a nice change of pace from the cupcakes and brownies that we’ve had plenty of, so I’m happy I made the stop.
A big Merci to Jessica for letting me prattle on in my barely passable French. I will definitely return for some more practice and some more treats.
Quick suggestions: If there was a flavor guide to go with the macarons, that would be super helpful. It was pretty hard to tell what the three different gold ones were (one with speckles, one with sparkles, and one plain). Also, ask for a few more stickers on your box to hold them together. I went to lift mine out of the bag and they went flying everywhere.

I came for tea service a year ago and I like that it’s available for walk-​in (except the Chef’s Tea Service menu). I also like that the ambiance is casual and modern instead of frilly or theme-​based. We went on a bitter cold winter weekday afternoon, so it was pretty quiet. We picked a table in the back with winged chairs which felt cozy.
We had the Bosie Tea Service for two for under $ 65. We each got to pick our own choice of tea sandwiches, tea cakes, and macarons. I feel like Bosie allows each guest to choose much more of their tea service menu instead of offering fixed items or requiring all guests to pick the same choice. I thought Bosie’s flexibility was a plus.
There was a lot of food and the price is less than other tea salons. Three sandwich choices for one person and each choice came with 2 large triangles which I find unusual for tea service. Flavors tasted as expected except the crab sandwich. Unfortunately the crab tasted mushy and watery so I wouldn’t recommend. The tea cakes were dense and too sweet for my personal taste. Macarons had several choices with some interesting flavors. I don’t remember all the ones we had except Bacon-​Maple which wasn’t overpowering.
I found their tea selection interesting. Some typical flavors, but they have a type of tea that I had not seen before. Had the Kyoto cherry green tea which was light and not sweet.
My only complaint is that the bill included an extra $ 1 charge for each smoked salmon & crab sandwich we picked which I did not see explained on the menu (and is not in their online menu). I knew that premium teas were an extra charge, but extra sandwich charges were not obviously stated, if at all.
Despite the surprise charge, the Bosie Tea Service is a good value for the price and I would recommend trying this place.

Darjeeling macarons were as great as everyone says they are. Their tea list was ridiculous (ask for a recommendation if you feel overwhelmed by the choices– I was incredibly pleased with the tea that was recommended to me). Their canapes were delicious, especially their duck on crostini! The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, but there was definite room for improvement. To be fair, it is a very small space and they were busy.
Without a doubt it was the scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam that stole the show. I will be back for their scones and all-​encompassing tea meu.
Perfect for: intimate brunch or an afternoon tea break on a weekday
Avoid if you are looking to sit with a large-​ish group.

3.5
Cute place for a tea party, sort of speak. The dessert items were delicious, the tea was meh. I think it could’ve been better.

My friend and I came upon this tea parlor by the Unilocal pictures of the Mille Crêpe. Unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we arrived. However, we decided to explore the menu and try something else. There are two menus that captured our attention: the tea menu and the dessert/​pastries. We settled on a large pot of lychee black tea (if I can remember correctly) and ordered two desserts: the ispahan and a coffee flavor dessert (I can’t recall the name).
Everything about this place is beautiful and I would love to come again to try the Crêpe and taste the dozens of other tea options available.

I was in town for about a week and needed a place to work remotely during the day. Generally if I’m out of the office I like to work from coffee shops, but I stumbled across this tea parlor with wifi (unusual) and am so glad I did! I returned 3 days in a row since I was staying nearby.
The space: The interior is small but very nicely laid out. It feels cozy and inviting and well-​maintained, with cushions on the chairs and even a couple of outlets on the wall. During the weekday there are plenty of tables available. They allowed me to stay for hours and work, which was very kind!
The food/​snacks: I tried the finger sandwiches, the french onion soup, and the Earl Grey crêpe cake. The soup was solid. The finger sandwiches were disappointing, but I almost never like the sandwiches at tea places. However the Early Grey crêpe cake is AMAZING. I don’t usually like sweets, but I would come back here for the cake anytime. It has a distinct Early Grey tea taste so if you’re not a fan of that flavor I’d steer clear, but if you are, you must try it. Also, I almost always find desserts to be excessively sweet, but this one was not at all. If you like a more muted sweetness, this will be perfect for you.
The tea: A good sized small pot for $ 6 — very reasonable and more than enough for one person. Large for $ 10 — enough for 2 people. And the tea tasted very nice.

Found this gem on a snowy night. Inside has an antique charm feel to it. The Darjeeling Tart was amazing and paired perfectly with our Tibetan Lavender Tea. We also had the Mille crêpe which was also good. I look forward to having a cup of tea here frequently!

Bosie is a true gem. Sitting pretty and unsuspecting on this short span of Morton, you are immediately in the mood once you enter. Basically the size of your bestfriend’s studio, it is intimate but efficiently laid out (bar in front, pastry case in the center, seating along the left run), and almost always entirely full with the waft of scones and spiced tea drifting throughout. There are various seating options for the many tea types — stools at the bar, wingbacks in the rear, and 2-​, 4– and 6– tables in the front-​center. Service is perky upon welcome and then prompt but discrete thereafter. We had 2 small pots of the ginger and cinnamon, and 2 scones each over the course of 2 hours — we received smiles, but unless we explicitly signaled anyone over, we were left on our own to savor.
The wait can be long if you are a larger party but in general you can be guaranteed seating within 25 minutes, and it’ll be worth it.

There is one and only one reason why I come here and that reason is their Darjeeling tart. This tart is heavly, this tart tastes like hong Kong style milk tea (Not sure if this description helps). A small pot of tea and this tart is all you need.

Great place for a cup of tea. It was a cozy little place which added to the warm ambience. The staff was great and very helpful with explains the tea and desserts. They didn’t rush us at all. There’s desserts and food also which you can order with the tea. The tea is really good here. Definitely would come back here !

the staff tonight deserves all the stars. thank you for not rushing us, even though it was close to closing time!
that darjeeling tart was delicious, and I regret drinking so much tea that I struggled to finish the last bite.
large pot of tea is pretty large, and is the perfect size for two friends catching up /​venting.

Nice place to sit and chat with friends but I wasn’t too crazy about their food, or tea for that matter. I went with two friends and we got the tea set for 2. It was very filling for 3 people. Each tea set comes with two choices of tea, sandwiches, scones, random cookies, two types of cakes and a few macaroons. I think my favorite thing from the whole tea set were the scones and jam. The macaroons were too sweet for my liking. Sandwiches tasted dry, but maybe that was because of the bread they used. The lemon cake was good, better than the green tea one and I didn’t really think their cookies were that special. The tea set along with an extra tea came out to ~$ 35 per person with tax + tip… I was a little disappointed because I don’t think it was that good for the amount we paid.
Prepare for a 30 min to 1 hour wait because it’s small and they don’t have that many tables. My friends and I were lucky enough to be offered seats at the bar area so we didn’t have to wait.

I went for tea time and was disappointed.
They sat us right next to the bathroom which wasn’t the best seating option.
The sandwiches were mediocre at best and the egg salad sandwich tasted a little funny to me.
The scones were ok.
The desserts are usually the best part but at Bosie they didn’t taste fresh and weren’t that great.
We go to a lot of tea times and this was probably my least favorite one that I’ve been to.

I expected more out of this place due to their reviews, but I thought it was just ok. I do not think there was enough room to host high tea parties, as the place was tiny. And the décor was not very memorable. Their teas were decent, but their bakery selection was not impressive. My friend ordered the Organic Chocolate Chai Latte and I got the Peach White Tea. The chai tea was better and it was not as spicy as the server made it sound. We also got the Earl Gray Mille Crêpe to share, which was pretty good, but nothing to write home about.

Indifferent staffer accepted and prepared a takeout order of 2 better-​than-​average items from the adjacent pastry displays: a raspberry yuzu macaron and a blueberry scone.
Skipped the sitdown experience for their specialty teas and caneles, but might drop by again after Doughnut Project, with which they share an address (Bosie of course far preceding).

I honestly do not recommend their tea service. Harney & Sons in Soho has much better tea items for a lower price.
The tea was good. Brunch set is also pretty good. Almond croissant is worth trying.

I’ve come on a couple of occasions, once on a Saturday afternoon and once late on a Friday night. My favorite dessert is the ispahan– a rose macaron filled with raspberry and lychee. All of the flavored balance each other out and this makes the perfect level of sweetness and richness. I’m not a big fan of overly sweet desserts and this one is just right. Also, a lot of times rose flavored desserts taste very fake, but I didn’t get that with this dessert.
The atmosphere at this place is also very relaxed and is good for small groups to hang out. Service is also very good!

In the photo:
Cucumber, smoked salmon, crab sandwiches (stay away from the awful crab sandwiches, they taste old and fishy).
Lemon (super tart and lemony, loved!) and matcha pound cakes. Oatmeal and choc chip cookies. Raspberry yuzu (good) and earl grey (meh) macarons.
Scones were a bit too crumbly. I prefer Tea and Sympathy’s scones. Bosie was a bit stingy with the clotted cream… That little pot was only enough for one person.
I had the Earl Grey Crème tea, which was lovely. But I wish they didn’t fill the pots with strained tea… I prefer individual tea strainers set over cups.

For months I have been researching tea rooms and venues to host a 30^th Tea party. I wouldve never imagined Bosie would be the choice. I wanted a tea service that provided a gourmet dining experience with vintage flair. I scored big at Bosie.
From the time I made my reservation, I was impressed with the impeccable manner staff handles customer inquiries. I booked my Tea for 11:30 a.m. and that was a great suggestion for my party of 7. We arrived on time and our table was nearest the counter and entrance door. Bosie is a very small West Village parlor. Simple dark wood furniture. Seating is tight but expected. Ben our host and waiter made us feel welcomeand and went above and beyond to provide impeccable service.
We had a choice of a plethora of teas. 60 different kinds i believe. All listed in a cute red book. We each chose 7 different teas: Apple crumble, island light, toasted coconut, almond (many I cant remember). The teas were perfect for a chilly fall sunday morning. We requested an assortment of sandwiches: cranberried curry chicken, smoked salmon, cucumber, tuna, crab. All delicious but my favorite being the smoked salmon. The Macaroons here melt in your mouth. Delicious! The Raspberry Yuzu was amazing! The Scones and fresh clotted cream and jam was addicting!
I dont recommend parties over 7 here because of how small the parlor is. My group fit comfortably thanks to Ben. I will be back again soon. The quality of the food and service was all i could ask for for my birthday wish.

Cute spot, doesn’t scream hipster but yep it’s def like someone’s living room. Very casual.
Got the tea set for 2, about $ 60. Included is a tea that’s 6 – 7 $ or so, you would pay the difference if you ordered a pricer tea. Sandwiches were not so good. The best being the salmon. Chicken and egg salad were meh. The bread in general was quite dry. Overall not flavorful.
Mini chocolate chip cookies were ok. Enjoyed the macaroons, scones were ok. Enjoyed the jam. Of the two tea cakes, the original one was better than the green tea which was quite dry.
Tea service is very quite filling regardless, it doesn’t seem like a lot but. It is lol. It’s a nice way to pass the time.
Clean bathroom. Not the most attentive service, which is ok if you just wanna sip your tea and chat with your friend. For the $, it’s not the best deal, just ok.

We need more tea parlors in America people! Scones, finger sandwiches, a wide variety of black, green, and oolong tea– what’s not to love?
My best friend brought me to this quaint tea parlor after begging me to come with her all summer. Let me say: I’m glad I obliged. The place was quiet at 6:30 on a Tuesday, just what I needed after a long day at work. Although the quinoa and quiches did spark my interest, I heeded her suggestion and got the meal for two, which came with 3 finger sandwiches each, 2 macaroons each, 4 small scones, cookies, tea cakes, and your choice of tea.
I ordered the matcha latte for my tea of choice, which was slightly bitter and could have been warmer, but was still pleasant and came in a large portion size. For my sandwiches, I opted for the cheddar cheese, the egg salad, and the crab sandwich, all of which were good, but the cheddar was my favorite, and I could’ve done without the crab which tasted a bit stale. For my macaroons, I got the earl grey milk chocolate and the matcha, and the matcha was definitely my preference of the two– it was extra strong for all you matcha lovers like myself!
The best part of the meal, which I’m sure others can attest to, was the soft scone with jam and butter. The scone was filling and sweet and I would definitely come back and get one for breakfast, especially the one topped with chai and sugar!
The service here was incredibly friendly and attentive. I never had to flag anyone down and I felt like I had known our server for years based on our dynamic.
Note: they no longer serve the matcha éclair here. Also, the more popular pastries tend to sell out earlier in the day!

This is an ideal place for tea lovers who want a mellow, warm environment to enjoy hours upon hours of discussion and tea. Basically it’s heaven for my mom.
We went this afternoon, and as always had a blast. Having done many of the high-​end hotel afternoon high teas, this place is so refreshing and enjoyable! No frills or fuss, but quality tea and pastries. Like legit «I dream of Paris» pastries — their chef is incredible! And there wasn’t a single five-​year-​old girl dressed in her princess costume throwing glitter at a tea party — just a group of cool, hip West Village folks who all love tea, the way God intended. You have the option of the full tea service, or just a pot of tea with some goodies — love the options!
Wide selection of macarons, teas for any and everyone, and the nicest people who are clear tea-​heads also. Needless to say, my mom was all aflutter after our tea, and bought loose-​leaf to take with her.

I haven’t had a proper «tea time» since high tea in London a few years ago, so when my friend spotted a gilt deal for Bosie, we knew we had to go.
I made reservations about a week in advance. When we arrived our table was waiting for us! We had a cute, private table near the back.
The deal included:
* Two premium pots of tea (I got island white as I was still in island mode since coming back from Hawaii)
* Scones with clotted cream and jam (Strawberry jam, of course! The scones were melt in your mouth)
* Three flavors of premium tea sandwiches (crab cake, egg salad/​truffle, and 1 other I can’t remember)
* Four premium macarons (lychee raspberry and vanilla cheesecake)
* Two pastries (Mayakoba? I think it was called. A brownie-​like dessert)
* Two glasses of Champagne
It was really a lot of food, easily enough for 3 or maybe even 4. We took a lot home.
Our waiter was really funny and enthusiastic.
This is a great place to do brunch a little different. However, it would be pretty expensive without the gilt deal ($ 70 vs. $ 120)
