About the Business

Welcome to The Vintage Tea, a charming café nestled in the heart of Staten Island at 23 Nelson Avenue, New York. Our mission is to create a cozy, welcoming environment where guests can relax, enjoy a delightful cup of tea, and connect with loved ones. With a blend of authentic vintage and antique decor, our parlour offers a unique and inviting ambiance that feels like a home away from home.
At The Vintage Tea, we are passionate about quality and sustainability. We source our tea leaves from ethical producers, prioritizing organic and non-GMO options whenever possible. By collaborating with local farmers and businesses, we aim to minimize our carbon footprint while supporting the community.
Our signature Afternoon Tea experience is inspired by the traditional Low Tea, offering a modern twist on this classic ritual. Guests can indulge in a pot of premium loose-leaf tea, served in elegant vintage teapots and cups. Enjoy a three-tiered tray filled with a delectable selection of sweet and savory finger sandwiches, a crisp side salad, freshly baked scones with clotted cream, jam, and lemon curd, and an array of exquisite petit fours.
The Afternoon Tea service is available by reservation only and is a 90-minute timed experience. We accommodate groups of all sizes, and for parties of five or more, we kindly ask you to call us at 718-568-4177 to reserve your spot.
The Vintage Tea is also the perfect venue for special celebrations. From children's tea parties to bridal and baby showers, our exclusive parlour offers a private and intimate setting for your event. We take care of every detail, from invitations to party favors, ensuring a memorable experience for you and your guests.
Our versatile space is ideal for a variety of events, including meetings, group gatherings, classes, and photo shoots. Whether you envision a customized tea service or simply need a beautiful setting, we are here to help bring your event to life.
Join us for unique events such as spiritual mediumship sessions with Gina Simone or our Frankie & James permanent jewelry pop-up. We also offer educational tea parties for children, including lessons on tea etiquette and history, complete with a fun patch for scouts.

"I had an amazing time at The Vintage Tea! Wendy and Michelle out did themselves! What a beautiful place to escape and enjoy some delicious tea, sandwiches and desserts! The hosts were wonderful and Gina Simone the medium was amazing . Thank you for a memorable day and bring such a lovely place to Staten Island!"
"What a fantastic experience! Right when we were greeted and seated it was like going back to a calmer time. The couches were beautiful and very comfortable and the tea service was exquisite. We never felt rushed and were well taken care of. The food was excellent and so fresh. Every sandwich was superb! The macarons melted in our mouth and were the best we ever had. All desserts were great and unique and the scones were delicious. My husband and I will definitely be returning and we recommend others experience this delightful afternoon tea!"
"Quirky Tea-Light: The Vintage Tea Parlour Spills the Tea! Holy chamomile! If you haven't stumbled into The Vintage Tea yet, you're missing out on the quirkiest cuppa in town. This isn't your grandma's stuffy tea room (unless your grandma was a time-traveling hipster with impeccable taste). Picture this: You walk in and BAM! It's like the past and present had a baby, and that baby loves doilies. The decor? A mishmash of vintage treasures that'll make you wonder if you've stepped into a steampunk novel or a cozy attic. But hold onto your teacups, folks, because the real magic is in the brew. These leaf-lovers are serious about their tea. We're talking ethically sourced, organic, non-GMO goodness that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. And get this - they're not just tea-riffic, they're community-tastic! Local produce, small business love, and enough warmth to melt your butter scones. It's like a hug in a mug, with a side of quirky charm. So, whether you're in for a jolly good Afternoon Tea or planning to throw the quirkiest shindig in town, The Vintage Tea is your go-to spot. Trust me, it's steep-endous! P.S. Fair warning: You might leave with a sudden urge to speak in a British accent and collect teapots. Don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Had a lovely afternoon tea with my mom. Wendy and Michelle were exquisite hosts and made us feel so relaxed and at home. The three tier tray was super filling and the sandwiches had very thoughtful ingredients! The desserts are made by Wendy and they were delightful! We are so excited to see this place take off and can’t wait to come back! Please visit this gem on the island!"
"Amazing new addition to Staten Island! Huge selection of loose leaf teas, caffeinated and decaf. Cutest vintage vibes, and a great deal for the price! Every detail was thought about from decor to overall experience!"
