Best Afternoon Tea Restaurants in NoLita

I have wanted to come to Lady Mendls for some time and today was the day! Yowza was it fabulous. The potato leek soup and the way in which it was presented was memorable. Still thinking about it. The sandwiches were both classic and modern and beautifully arranged. Scones and petit fours capped off the perfect tea. Deeelish! The tea selection and decision was difficult because they all sounded so good. Went with the Wonderland Roobios. So good. The staff is fabulous and attention to detail is both welcomed and impressive. Love the fun decor. Go. You will have a delightful and memorable time.

As a bit of a family tradition, I brought my 2nd daughter here, eleven years after my first! And we were lucky to have our favorite server, #theTroublemaker to help us and make quality suggestions from the menu. Even the persons who served our water and coffee were knowledgeable professionals. I ended up purchasing two bags of gifts from the gift store, because the chocolate and service were of such high quality! The Year of the Snake marketing is clever, and we actually decorate our shelves with Mariebelle tins and containers because the branding is so attractive. Only Chardon Bleu in France comes even close, with Mariebelle as the absolute best in the world. Thank you so much, merci, grazzie, and Gracias for a world class, chocolatier experience!

I would recommend the afternoon tea to anyone! I had the Christmas themed tea and it was so adorable and cute! The food was a good mixture of sweet and savory. I loved the tea. The staff is also so lovely and kind as well as accommodating and that really makes the whole experience worthwhile. It's a small place and to get to the restroom you need a staff member to walk you through the kitchen to the back. While I don't mind that at all I felt like I was disrupting the baking process while walking through and kind of felt bad having to use it. Restroom is clean! Pastries are delicious! Price for the tea was 52$/person which is low to mid level pricing but I thought it was well worth it. Decor was on the simple and sweet side. If there was more decor/design to the space it would have been even more perfect but I was totally happy with everything I got! Really cute idea for a simple meeting with friends! Love love love so do it!
