Social Profile:

Cha-An was established in 2004 by Japanese restaurateur Bon Yagi with the Japanese concept of omotenashi (a term for whole-hearted hospitality) in mind, and with wooden tables and tatami benches, washi-paper lamps and seasonal floral decorations, Cha-An looks and feels like a little piece of Japan. Cha-An features not only matcha and senchas from Japan, but an extensive list of teas from all over the world as well. There is a tea for everyone and all are prepared with care. Cha-An also specializes in desserts – while some are traditionally Japanese, we also blend the tastes of Japan with sweets of the West.

Extensive tea list, unique sweets, and snacks are served a la carte or in formal tea ceremonies.

An absolutely delicious experience from start to finish. The Japanese cuisine is refined, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each dish was perfectly balanced, using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The desserts were outstanding creative, delicate, and not overly sweet, the perfect way to end the meal. The service was attentive and the atmosphere warm and inviting. A must-visit spot in New York for Japanese food and desserts.

This place was soo cozy and cute! I loved the matcha jasmine drink and my friend got the hibiscus tea. The hibiscus tea wasn’t really sweet but it had good fruity flavor so make sure to ask for a side of syrup if you want it to be sweet! The matcha parfait was delicious, it’s like the one at Nana’s green tea but in my opinion Cha-An’s agar was better than Nana’s. The service was amazing the waiters were soo sweet!

Small intimate tea shop with delicious foods. Had the afternoon tea where they have a different menu each month so what I had might not be the same as other people’s experience.

The food presentations were top notch and the servers were very friendly, quick and on top of things. There were two types of tea selection during my visit (houjicha and genmaicha), both very good. The food portions were a little small but with the whole course, you won’t leave hungry.

The only thing that may deter some people is…you have to make a reservation online and pay upfront for the afternoon tea ($68 + tax + tip – during my visit) to reserve your date and time (they only have afternoon tea on Saturday and Sunday) so the only thing that worried me was not being able to make it for my reservation. Unsure what the cancellation policy is and if they refund or give you credit for a future visit if you aren’t able to make it in case of unforseen circumstances.

It’s my second time at this place and I think the atmosphere about Cha An is really cute. It did remind me a lot of the dessert places in Japan. I thought the desserts were quite good and rather tasty. The only thing I would say is that the desserts are fairly pricey and that is the only thing that is preventing me from giving it a 5. It’s pricey but the amount you get is not all that much. The flavour was there though and I would say the matcha in the tiramisu was quite prominent.

Love the atmosphere and vibes. It’s perfect for an afternoon tea with friends. The match tiramisu was awesome, lots of match powder on top and it tasted like there was a layer of sake soaked into the cake on the bottom, and wasn’t too sweet. There were many options for tea pots which came with a free refill of hot water. I’m giving this a 4 star as the rose tea I got didn’t have much flavors of rose, and everything was slightly pricey.

The most delicious desserts and mochi!!! Absolutely cuteness overload and fantastic drinks as well. Great place to buy a gift for someone who likes mochi and japanese things.

Cha-An did change a lot since our previous visit, sadly. The dishes were drastically overpriced, as tiramisu shrunk to 1/3 of the original size (last photo was the tiramisu cake from our last time visit). Tea and drinks were unsatisfied, tasting no difference than alkane water. Will for sure not come back again.

Listen, obviously this is a tea place. Tea is incredible, highly recommend the matcha tiramisu. But the water must have come from Mount Olympus itself. Never have I had something so smooth and delectable as the complimentary water served here. I can never go back to regular water after this. This place has ruined me in the best way possible
