I will never recommend or come back to this place ever again I have never been so disrespected and ask with disrespect “you standing there like you didn’t pay for that” by an employee on two items that number one we wanted to donate to animals in need that my husband wanted to get me as a present because he knows I love animals and two there were not even 15 dollars that my husband was going to pay for at the cash register with our drinks together but instead of talking us with respect and just let us know was just a cash donation you were extremely rude and talk to us like we were thieves. Never coming back again or recommending this place.
I had a wonderful time when I visited here last year. We got matcha lattes, best I’ve ever had. Plus the vibes were so cozy and warm inside. A lovely spot all together.
This place is a hidden gem! The employees are professional, helpful, and made us feel so special! We had a curry pastry, matcha brownie, macarons, and of course some delicious tea! Cannot wait to return and buy more tea!
My girlfriend and I were going to go shopping at Stuyvesant Plaza. We thought that Peaches Cafe would be very crowded on Valentine's Day, so we went to Short and Stout instead. If you're a tea drinker, this place is awesome!!! So much to choose from, all kinds of teas and now they also have things to eat as well. Pastries, macrons, even croissants...too much to mention. I had a ham and cheese croissant. It was Wonderful!!! My girlfriend had a spring roll and a "brookie". Our teas were a Chai Latte for me and a Decaf Earl Grey for her. I'm more of an Oregon Chai person, but the Chai Latte here was very pleasant...with a bit of extra honey. It was a nice, light lunch. We will definitely be going back again soon.
My new favorite tea spot to bring friends! The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The shop itself is adorable, and I love that they have all the tea flavors displayed in jars so you can smell them before choosing. If you love cozy vibes and great tea, this is definitely the place for you!
