DAVIDsTEA

I love David’s Tea as a treat on a hot summer day, and their flavor a are wonderful which is why I’m giving 2 stars. I was shopping in midtown and decided to take the 1 mile walk there for a Tea Pop, which is a flavored tea mixed with sparkling water. Got there and they didn’t have any sparkling water. I left and went to a deli. I will definitely never make the effort to walk there again.

I love the teas at this place. Every time I go in there, somehow I’ve spent over $ 50! But totally worth it. People here are soooo friendly and they seriously know their teas.
It’s also a really good place to buy gifts.

David’s tea can only be described as a place that really embraces the art of tea making. I’ve passed it multiple times and I’ve always wanted to wonder in.
When you walk in your greeted by a bubbly nice lady at the front. They also have the tea of the day which was absolutely amazing. They have a lot of teas that you can sniff and see if you like. On top of it all they have pressers so that you don’t need tea bags and you can freshly brew your tea through a filter that’s built inside the mug thermos bottle I mean they have everything you can think of to put tea into. I smelled so many teas my favorites were the pom~diggity, pura vida which was as a very fresh green tea and red velvet cake which was this black tea that had milk chocolate&white chocolate sprinkles, beetroot powder and a lot of other amazing things.
The staff was beyond the point of helpful. They opened so many containers of tea for me to smell. They taught me how to make the tea they even provided me with the sample of the day. There so kind, and attentitive they asked if I had any allergies before making any recommendations and were very down to earth.
I wouldn’t suggest the pistachio icecream iced latte, it was bitter sweet and I didn’t really enjoy it but the quality of there tea amazes me.
I would definitely recommend visiting, they currently have a promotion when you buy one of there travel mugs through the summer for $ 15, they let you refil it with the tea of the day for 1 dollar or 2 dollars for any tea you want until end of August. It’s a good deal if you have the location next to you.
Viva la tea drinking!!!

I got the silk dragon jasmine tea with agave and skim milk and it was free because of my card!
I’m beginning to think that I should probably stop ordering hot teas here because it’s never as good as I hope. They’re always lacking in sugar and you barely taste the milk.
I think I’ll come back here when the weather gets hotter and get some iced teas.
I saw a canister of tea labeled cherry blossom and I’m sure that is going to taste really good cold, so that’s next on my list

If I could give this business a negative rating I would. They have horrible customer service especially if you have questions about blends. Variety of teas are great but they need to provide employees with better training. When an influx of customers arrived after me, the two employees jumped from customer to customer and basically ignored me. Only go if you know what you want.

I’ve visited DavidsTea quite a few times due to the fact that it’s right by my school but recently it has became my number 1 spot to grab a drink. There is a huge selection of tea from white to herbal, fruity to nutty and I find myself torn over several options every single time before finally settling on one.
All their teas smell AMAZING. They have weird flavors that you wouldn’t think possible as tea like banana nut bread, raspberry cream pie, pistachio ice cream (the nutty ones smell sooo good omg). Ive tried mostly the fruity teas and my favorite one thus far is the fruit of paradise, one of their new teas in the spring collection, iced and sweetened with agave syrup. It literally smells like paradise and tastes like paradise. You can get your tea as is, as a latte or as a tea pop (fizzed).
The store itself is very cute with their products displayed (I want everything on those racks) and a cozy, quiet seating place in the back. The staff there are all so friendly and attentive and will pull out any tea you are interested in to smell and not groan when you smell all on the rack yet choose none.
This is my new go to spot for a refreshing drink to go through my classes and I can’t wait to try all the different types of tea!

They have a great selection of teas, but was not a fan of their actual teas. I went there for the first time for 2016 Leap year «get a free tea» promo. and they were offering only two choices: apple pie and strawberry parfait rhubarb… I chose the latter because the apple pie was very bland and tasteless. The strawberry was tart and like sugarfree water if that means anything… I didnt taste much in it. Im giving it a 3.5 stars and the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it wasnt as good because of the promo or maybe it was just watered down… not sure but that flavor was not good.
If I went next time, i would try their green teas to see how they compare to asian tea and other brands like Teavana and Argotea.
I do have a tea infuser (Called Infuser 2-​in-​1) from them ($ 10) that is great!

Want to go on a scavenger hunt to discover your favorite new tea? Go NOW to DAVIDsTEA. If you want loose leaf tea + exteeeeeeensive options + super helpful staff, the UES location has it! Hugely knowledgeable, bubbly and courteous staff member, Sarah, listened to what flavor profile I was in the mood for, knowing I wanted to be adventurous and have a tea latte with whatever I chose, and she picked the PERFECT tea for me («Movie Night»!). While «Movie Night» blew the mind of my tastebuds, there were copious other options that, if I could spend all day there drinking tea, I’m sure I’d walk away with a dozen new favorites… and super hydrated. Thank you, Sarah!
All in all: I seriously recommend this place whether for a quick to-​go steeped drink or for your packaged brew-​later loose leaf fantasies. :)

I’ve been here more than a handful of times now and enjoyed each visit throughly.
Great customer service from Kelly. Super helpful and knowledgeable about the teas! Shoutout to her as the gift turned out to be a hit! Recommend 100%

Finally got Golden puer tea! I wanted to get this so much since I got so used to drinking puer tea. It is good but not strong enough. It is also best to have the tea hot without any sweetener but I got it iced with sugar.

friendly staff+great tea+a lot of things for tea=Davids tea!
don’t come by if you see it and you’ll not miss the opportunity to enjoy a wide selection of teas.
judges of teas will appreciate it=)

Absolutely love this location. To be honest, I’m not a big tea drinker, but I have a lot of friends and family who are into tea. The merchandise itself are really cute, so I always drop by whenever I have to grab a gift for someone. There is a little seating area in the back where people can enjoy their teas.
The absolutely best part about this location are the people who work here. Amazing. So friendly and super knowledgeable about the teas. They are not pushy about buying anything extra than what you are interested, but are quick and easy to suggest anything you might be interested in purchasing.
One of the sales associates even explained to me that there are 2 compartments for the tea in the large cartons, so as to reassure me that the leaves that I was smelling and she was touching weren’t being sold. Always a great experience when I walk in. I’ve bought a couple of packets of teas in the past few weeks for myself and will definitely be returning when I run out.

My favorite place to buy tea! There are so many great blends. Some of my favorites are the Love Tea and Creamy Earl Grey. They also have some exciting new seasonal flavors for fall such as Pumpkin Chai. What really makes it great is the staff — they’re always super friendly and helpful and they’re really familiar with the products.

This is a very cool place with great service. They have tons of tea flavors that are very unique and seasonal. They also have great tea paraphernalia such as mugs, tumblers, etc. They even have a birthday cake flavored tea with sprinkles in it which would make a great birthday present! They let you smell all the teas before you order it, which is really nice. Being a cotton candy fiend, of course I bought a cup of cotton candy iced tea. The first sip tasted great, but with these types of things the next couple of sips only vaguely tasted like cotton candy. I liked it, but I couldn’t tell if they added sweetener to it. I hope they hadn’t. It was $ 4 for a cup of iced tea, which to me is a little steep (no pun intended). I’d come back here for a gift, but probably not for a cup of tea– it’s too expensive!

Awesome place great tea and ridiculous service. Lucy hand fed me spinach and carrots.
I tried to slip a $ 5 through the door for a tea tea after closing and they wouldn’t do it.

what the heck happened to their tea? My latest was the cheapest, most artificial tasting so-​called tea I’ve ever had.

I’ve been coming to this place for years. Davids Tea has anything and everything tea. Black tea, oolong tea, white tea etc. I find this tea spot to be very innovative. Their containers where they store the tea is clearly labeled and has an opening where you can small the fragrant aromas and see what is in the specific blend. There are over 20 – 30 flavors of tea. The staff is super friendly, very knowledgable and willing to answer any questions you may have before making your selection. They also have samples of teas for you to enjoy. The décor is very modern and clean. It lets the product speak for itself. You can either purchase the tea either cold or hot. I prefer a ice cold refreshing tea. They take their time steeping the tea and dont rush the process. They know the infusing time for each blend. It is just right. You can either purchase it like that or with sweetner/​agave. If you like the tea blend so much, they have various sized pouches you can purchase to go. They have also teapots, tumblers, tea sets, and steepers. They do have room in the back if you want to sit back and relax and enjoy your tea. Definitely check this place out.

HOW HAVE I NEVER WALKED INTO THIS GEM BEFORE! My mom’s apartment is just down the street but I only just found this place and needless to say *in Schwarzenegger voice* I will be back.
The best part about this place is how friendly the staff is. When I walked in the two lovely ladies at the counter, both about my age, offered me iced tea samples (a lovely coconut/​strawberry flavor and something peach black) and then led me through the tea selection process all while inquiring about my day. One of the staff even complimented my tattoo and took a photo of it to show her friend– too sweet. I chose my tea fairly quickly– a sweet fruity black tea– and chatted with the staff while it brewed.
I wanted to buy everything in the store (and I probably will online.) They had a see-​thru glass mug with bicycles on it with a built-​in steeper and lid– obviously I need that. The tea itself wasn’t too expensive– only $ 4.50. And so good! I also bought some agave for $ 8.50. I can’t wait to try some more flavors and bring some home.

The staff here is amazing and I have walked away with a pleasant tea experience every time! Not only are they knowledgable about their teas and in running the store but they have such a personal and inviting aurora around them. They greet you when you enter the store, offer you a free sample of the tea they have currently brewed (it’s hot but not to the point where it’ll burn your tongue), give you a 30-​second mini tour of their place if you look a little lost (or baffled by their wide selection like I was), and let you sniff as many tea leaves as you want. You never get the feeling that they’re there to make money off of you.
David’s Tea is both a café AND a tea shop. You can order your drink (~$ 4) and they’ll brew it for you on the spot. They offer different types of sweeteners: sugar, agave, steavia, honey, etc. Can be made hot or cold, with or without milk. They also sell tea leaves by the ounce and teapots, mugs, infusers, gift sets, etc.
Their Cold 911 is also helping me recover from my congestion! It’s peppermint, juniper, and eucalyptus tea! Highly recommend if you’re feeling a little sick.
They also have a rewards card and holiday promotions!

A refreshing summer sample of an iced Watermelon Mint tea led me into DavidsTea on the Upper East Side today. I was intrigued by the endless amount of unique flavors, specifically those of the new Carnival Collection. Caramel Corn, Cherry Snowcone, Root Bear Float… each blend smelled mind-​boggling delicious! And then there was the Cotton Candy tea… a fun tea blend of Cotton Candy colored bits and pieces. I decided to get it as an iced tea for my walk home. It was the most delicious and unique iced tea I’ve ever had– no sweeteners needed!
Another plus– the store is extremely clean and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. All the exciting flavored tea blends will certainly have me back in no time!
