DAVIDsTEA

Wow, the variety of teas here is a bit overwhelming. I walked in hoping to just pick up my favorite jasmine pear green tea but left with three different OTHER types of teas. The workers are super friendly and helpful, and you can pretty much smell everything. You can also order a cup of tea from any of the choices available.
My favorites so far is the buddha blend, and the jasmine black pearl. If you’re an avid tea drinker and lover, definitely stop by! They also have a great selection of tea pots and travel mugs, great for gifts!

Fun & cute spot with a variety of flavored delicious teas!
Go for the happy birthday tea with soy
Enjoy

Love David teas! They have amazing tea flavors plus a really great and friendly staff!
The store can get a little cramped but it’s worth squeezing yourself in to buy a nice cup of delicious tea or some loose leaf tea to bring home. Personal favorite– red velvet… Mmmmmm

My new afternoon pick-​me-​up spot! Stumbled in here last week with a raging sore throat and cold, and spoke to the sweetest most knowledgable employee who immediately pulled out a few teas for me to sniff and choose from. I went with North African mint (yum), but the other options were so enticing. I came back today, and was met with yet another employee who knew his stuff. Thoroughly impressed! Will be back again and again.

Overpriced teas with fancy packaging and artifical flavorings. Canadian owned. I stay away from David’s Teas after I discovered there are artificial ingredients in them. Plus, I discovered a great place in NYC with similar, if not better teas at half of David’s Teas’ cost that’s been in the Greenwich Village for ages.

Omg the cutest little tea place. Love & adore it here. They are unique & I always can’t wait to see what collection they’re going to bring each season. Staff is so friendly, & educated on the product, they are really good& finding a tea that fits your mood. My friend literally said find me something sexy & he did. That’s how fun this place is. If I had to pick (which is hard) my top 3 I would say: toasted walnut, glitter and gold and read my lips, in that order.

I don’t seem to like this location as much as the one on 63^rd street. I found this davidstea to be a lot more smaller and cramped. Since it’s midtown I understand the space problem but that was not what made it 2 stars. The employees did. The attitude of the employees are just so mixed. There’s one that just wants you to say what you want and then get out so she can continue her conversation with her friend while another one is just friendly and bubbly but hidden away making drinks.
When asking what does the cashier recommend… as in her favorite… she didn’t even bother to answer but just pointed to a sad little table with sample pitchers of teas… which to be honest tasted horrible. At Other davidstea locations I would get honest opinions of the employees favorites and I end up getting them because I trust them. their recommendations end up tasting great so I don’t question .
Here… I ended up scrolling through the menu to pick one I already tried in the past while feeling the pressure to order quickly. I picked a mango fruit punch and it was ok. Strong flavor of the tea and fruits just as I had it the first time. My intentional goal was to try a new tea but I guess that didn’t work out. Would I come back? No not really. To 63^rd street one. Most likely but I don’t go up there much. Other ones? There’s not much of this chain around… so someone should start franchising one.

What a fun place! David’s tea combines a friendly/​sassy staff with great quality tea in attractive packaging.
The teas are on the higher of the price spectrum, but worth the extra cost. I will say that the iced tea I ordered in-​house wasn’t the best, but I’ve enjoyed the tea leaves I brought back to LA.
Anyway, I hope this place never changes its character. The staff is super attentive and informative.
Stay Cheerful ;)

First time here purchasing teas. I Came Here For Some Matcha Matsu and Detox Tea. The staff are very friendly & helpful. Totally Coming Back Here.

I must have gone at a bad time because I didn’t experience the wonderful staff that everyone seems to rave about here.
The tea itself was delicious. Even though it’s on the pricier side, I’d be willing to try other flavors when I’m in the mood to take a break from coffee. It was my first time ever at DavidsTea, and the staff member who helped me pick out the Butterfly Jasmine was friendly and patient with me. I ordered an iced tea, which came out to $ 4. (It’s the same price for hot.) I loved that the tea was freshly brewed in front of my eyes and that they offered me samples to try.
There isn’t much seating (only four stools at the front) so this isn’t the place to stay for hours on end to study or catch up with a friend. More like a grab-​and-​go type of place. However, I did stick around for about an hour to get some work done.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t happy with the behavior of the three staff members who were in the store. They were cordial whenever customers walked in, but as soon as they left, they were incredibly loud and used crude language. I heard practically every curse word in existence at one point or another.
One of the employees must have been newly hired because she was working on an online training module for DavidsTea three seats away from me, all the while complaining about how long it was taking and asking her coworkers for the answers. I tried my best not to eavesdrop on their conversations, but it was next to impossible. It was almost as if they had forgotten that I was there and overlooked the fact that I have ears, too. They made me question the genuineness of the hospitality that I received while I was ordering my tea.
They also bickered amongst themselves about how «understaffed» they are, which I thought was funny because they were hardly doing any work at that time of day. The trash can was full when I entered and was even fuller by the time I left. To avoid overflowing the trash can, I took my cup outside once I was done. The least they could have done was take out the trash.
I really wanted to like DavidsTea, but this experience ruined it for me. I think I’ll check out the Bleecker Street location next time.

The David’s Tea location at Bleeker St. was the best, therefore I gave it ⁵⁄₅ stars because the service was totally hands on and full out; also there are more seats at that location. However, the location here is great as well. The staff here is friendly and has a great sense of humor! Try them out! I ordered the serenity now and it was A-​okay!

I LOVE AND ADORE THIS PLACE!!! Please come to Sweden!
The staff are always so kind and well-​educated on all products. What I also love is that they have two kinds of teas to taste everyday from their collection!
The special thing about this place in particular was one person in the staff, I cannot remember her name unfortunately but I think she had red hair tied up. I told her my infuser to my tea mug got lost when I moved from Canada and asked her if they sold just the infuser to this special take away mug I bought recently. I loved that mug so I was pretty sad it was gone.
To my big surprise she came out of the back room with an infuser to me!!! She told me I absolutely could have it without cost since they just got in the infuser with a tea mug that was broken — this really made my day and once again I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
And if you see this — THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!! :D

This is my ALL TIME favorite location. They are SOOOOO helpful. I was so excited that they had suggestions for teas as cocktails! BINGO!!! Love this place! Erika, Ben, and Travis pure AWESOMENESS! I would come into this location just to say hi and buy a cup of tea because of these guys!
Keep it up!

The people that work here are so friendly and energetic. The tea selection is huge and overwhelming. I don’t know very much about tea so I chose the first thing that looked interesting. It was called cactus cool and it was a greed tea. I got that as an ice tea and it tasted exactly what you would imagine a cactus tasting.(besides hurting you). It was very cool and refreshing. If I were in the city for longer I would have gone back to buy some more tea to bring home.

Oh DavidsTea. How did I NOT know about you earlier? I walked by this place countless times since it’s by the office, but I never really had the urge to go in — especially since Starbucks is just a few doors down. Plus, I heard they had weird teas so I was a bit hesitant in trying the company’s teas — but I quite like some of them. This is a place that’s definitely more for an adventurous tea drinker. Another note — DavidsTea also introduces limited edition seasonal teas that sometimes become part of its core menu, but not always.
The staff at this DavidsTeas is so nice and friendly — and very knowledgable. The guy who helped me with my very first purchase was super funny and sweet and super into tea. He explained why DavidsTeas is a bit more expensive than say, Harney & Sons (the blends are a bit more unique) and which teas he thought I would like based on what I liked from Harney’s. I also like their «Tea of the day» selections and their «frequent steeper» program. It’s relatively easy to get $ 100 of loose tea, so to be rewarded with extra free tea on top of the tea I’m buying just makes me happy. The teas also come with brewing instructions (which I don’t always follow because I get lazy, which sometimes makes me sad because the tea comes out bitter or weird) so that’s helpful for tea newbies.
I’m also slightly obsessed with the nordic mugs DavidsTea sells. The strainers that fit on top of the cups and in the lids are just amazing. I think I may just start a nordic mug collection and maybe even a «perfect mug» collection. I like the fact that they have new designs every season, but I don’t like that you need to buy it then or it’ll be gone forever. I also don’t like that you can’t just buy the mug — the strainer comes with the mug. But the strainer also fits on quite a few mugs and cups so at least I can use it on most of my mugs. I actually quite like a lot of the teapots DavidsTea offers as well. Maybe I should start a teapot collection too…
Anyway, some of my favorite DavidsTea teas are David’s Breakfast Tea, Magic Dragon, Yogi Berry, Blueberry Jam, Super Ginger & Buddha’s Blend. But definitely go in and try out some of their teas — unless you’re more of a pure tea person, you won’t be disappointed.

I make sure to visit every time I come home from college. One of my favorite things to do is walk around NYC and meet up with friends. But it’s also nice taking a break from walking and sipping on some hot tea, especially when it’s freezing outside!
What I especially appreciate is the fun vibe of the people who work there. They are always very friendly and eager to show me different teas. A+ for tea, A+ for customer service!

Having been declined from nearby THINK Coffee as Jasmine Green Tea was out of stock, I hoped that Davids Tea can heed the hope within my mind. Davids Tea understands and know what is Jasmine Green Tea. It is specific to Chinese culture, which most Americans are too oblivious to know, origins from a jasmine flower tea (茉 莉 花 茶). Jasminum sambac flowers are used to make jasmine tea, which often has a base of green tea. Davids Tea offers two kinds of Jasmine Green Tea: Dragon or Butterfly. I opt for Butterfly $ 3.68 was worth the subtle aroma to calm the mind, body and spirit in stillness to achieve an inner calm.
Hands down for good quality customer service for their knowledge, attentiveness, and the warm inviting feel to newbies like myself. They are ready, willing and able to answer questions of various teas, herbs, and its origins. Loose teas are available for sale. I prefer traditional Green Tea (non-​flavored). Davids Tea has a loyalty card program which automatically puts customers on their email list. Turquoise blue surrounds this tea shop of a modern contemporary atmosphere. Yes, a menu listing all their teas for sale is available.
Drink tea. Live healthy.

The best customer service in the city– hands down. Smiling faces and for what a $ 3 purchase?
Loved the custom feel of the place and the many options available. They were sampling a weird carnival collection but I went more traditional. I am not a cotton candy flavored tea kind of girl. Must stop for a pick me up– you will leave better for it.

Their tea selection is out of this world. Don’t be fooled by the young staff here as they do really know the product they’re selling.
Go in, tell them what flavor or feeling you’re going for and they will delight you with many options.
They always have samples too! Try something new!

DavidsTea is like the rival of Teavana but w/​FRIENDLIER STAFF
the workers at this location were so nice & willing to help me find the tea that best suited me!
–$ 3 iced tea (although most people buy loose leaf tea to brew at home): for sweeteners they have honey, agave, splenda, & regular sugar. unfortunately these don’t live up to the amazing rock sugar at teavana !.. but if sweetened tea isn’t your thing, than maybe DavidsTea is!
