My first time here. I really enjoyed my earl grey tea. I liked that they brew loose leaf tea rather than tea bags so my tea is not steeped too long. Looking forward to trying other teas as well as the teapuccinos. Very extensive and interesting menu.
One of my favorite cafes, esp for tea lovers like me. Great for coffee and small bites too. So many tea latte varieties and you can make your own too. Plus they regularly have specials.
Bright and clean. A nice stop for study/work over coffee.
I appreciate this little tea cafe. It has other locations in the city although I’ve only gone to this one. It has a good variety of teas, they are a “cash-less” cafe, meaning you can pay by card or their app. They may take ApplePay as well. The cashiers are quite nice every time I’ve been and seating isn’t an issue mid-day. Most seating areas have access for you to charge your electronics if you were there for work. They also offer free wifi up to 3 hours. I recommend the Carolina Black Tea, I enjoyed it hot but I’m sure the Iced is great too.
Decent but nothing that's going to blow your mind unless you're a tea todeler. They have a huge selection of teas and that pretty exciting if you are. But the coffee was just OK. And be warned that they don't take cash.
I love argo tea. One of the few places that serve different types of teas and tea lattes . The selection and delicious aromas will get your head spinning. Not to mention, the service is stellar .People are amazingly friendly and professional . Wonder what's their trick in training their staff.
With enough choice of drinks, I imagine it is a fine enough cafe. But the times I did go, and chose to order basic teas, they ended up not tasting all that good. This location has been around for a while now, so I may need to revisit to try some speciality drink they offer. Perhaps that's where they shine?
It's usually crowded but they provide power outlets everywhere so almost for each table. And I like that the music volume is low. They also have good selection of teas. The problem is their tea is not fresh. They make it from the concentrated tea juice or so. I hope it's not something chemical.
Argo Tea is popping up everywhere, but I won't complain. Better this than Starbucks. I love that this location is so much bigger. Three giant tables with outlets plus plenty of other seating. They need the space for this neighborhood. Though I will say that even when NYU is in session and there are tons of people in here I can usually find ONE seat. If you're bringing a group, try to get here early. But I've never walked in here and not been able to find anywhere to sit, so it looks like they correctly judged the amount of space necessary. Good job. Excellent teas. I've tried every signature tea on the menu and love more than half of them. My standard is the teapuccino with hazelnut, red tea, and half and half. I also really like the Carolina Honey, Earl Grey Vanilla Creme, Red Velvet, Mate Latte and tea sangria. The Armenian Mint is also excellent hot or cold. Tasty, if overpriced food. Though since they introduced the Tea Bites I've been less annoyed about the food offerings. Wish they hadn't discontinued the chocolate brownie thing. The replacement isn't nearly as good. Also, don't ever ask for Almond Milk in any drinks. Whatever brand of almond milk they use is gross, gross, gross. Good almond milk is amazing and a great soy substitute. Their stuff is a crime against almonds. Good ambiance. Decent hours. For this location I'd actually except it to be open until midnight on weeknights and 2am on Friday and Saturday, NYU students are all pretending to be Hemmingway and need their late-night cafes. Honestly? I much prefer Vagabond Cafe across the park. If I'm even in the general vicinity I will go there before I come here. But this is a good second choice.
My studying spot! One of the places that I usually visit 4 days a week. Great tea selections, my favorite is Chai Latte. The sitting area is comfortable, not to noisy, with many outlets for charging your phone or your laptop. The stuff is very polite and always greet you with a smile. The WiFi password and the key code for the restroom’s lock it will be written on the receipt of your current purchase.
