Afternoon Tea at the Garden Court Cafe

As you know, I just love Afternoon Tea. It is such a fun, relaxing experience, and I enjoyed many with my Mom at a local tea house. The latest place in the city I have tried is the Garden Court Cafe in the Asia Society and Museum. I had read in an email I received that they served tea here, and wanted to check it out. 


The cafe is very lovely, open air and lots of light. They also serve an Asian fare here, which I would love to come back and try. Since it is so near many of the museums on 5th Avenue, this is a fun place to do lunch. You do not have to pay to enter the museum if you just want to dine at the cafe. 


Very elegant setting, I was sitting in direct sun, so I apologize for the shadows on my photos 

The scones were tiny, but good, and I had a nice array of items to enjoy with my scone 

The sandwiches are curry chicken salad, mini crab cake, roasted vegetable, smoke salmon and cucumber 
I loved the traditional tea pot! 



Almost too pretty to eat! 


The desserts were lovely as well, more candy items than dessert, but very tasty 





The Afternoon Tea is $30 per person, High Tea is $40 which includes Prosecco or Sake. I really want to try their Dim sum menu in the future. This was a lovely tea, very relaxing, and I will be sure to visit here again. I would highly recommend to anyone to give it a try!

Lunch (and weekend brunch) is served 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. Dim sum is now served daily from from 11 am to 2 pm. In addition, afternoon tea service — loose-leaf and herbal teas with chef's selection of Petit Fours, scones, and tea sandwiches — is offered from 12 pm to 2 pm daily. Reservations are required 24 hours in advance for afternoon tea service.

Summer Hours are in effect through August 19: 11 to 2 pm.
