This tea spot is absolutely adorable! The indoor seating is small and cozy, with dimmed lighting that creates a relaxing atmosphere. There also some outdoor seating available, though it can get pretty packed. One of the highlights is their tea display on the wall--you can smell the teas before ordering, which makes for a fun and interactive experience. You can choose to order a cup of tea or a teapot, and we went with the teapot. It was surprisingly heavy but super cute, adding a nice touch to the experience. If the tea is too strong for your taste, they offer honey on the side, which we tried--and it perfectly enhanced the flavor of our tea. This place would be great for a cute, girly date or a cozy outing with loved ones. We also noticed they have some bakery items, which we'll definitely try next time. Overall, it's a charming spot for tea lovers!

Paquita's a really special tea house - it's one of those places that are actually so cute and is as amazing as it looks on Instagram. It has a cozy, soft-lit ambiance and beautiful rustic furnishings that make coming inside so appealing. There's not much seating inside, but it's really wonderful to be able to smell so many different variations of tea. They also have some pastries and tea cakes that you can purchase, and each one was so soft, chewy and well made. Keep in mind this isn't a place you can sit and work due to the limited seating inside and outside. Definitely one of my favorite places in West Village.

The most adorable and perfect tea house with cozy ambience, soft lighting, indoor and outdoor seating, and shelves lined with an impressive variety of teas. My friends and I each selected a tea, ordered a pot, and sat outside in the little streetery. 10/10 hygge

What a lovely place for a cup of tea. The photos make this shop almost look like a library, but on closer inspection all the containers on the shelves are the different flavors of tea sorted by category. There are two tables located inside the shop with a larger number located in the roofed housing outside. The vibes are real chill both inside and out complimenting the tea choices very well. There also small tasty bites to choose from including baked goods and sandwiches. We ended up going with sticky rice and salmon sandwiches. The tea was steeped perfectly and was the right amount of natural sweetness and bold flavor, very relaxing. The staff inside adds to the ambiance by being helpful but also allowing you peruse and smell the tea samples without any pressure. A gem of a find.

Calm and cozy atmosphere with huge collections of teas that you can look/smell through. We ordered pot of Jasmine pearls and Rose Congou and the lemon loaf to share

This is the best tea house I've been to in nyc. Paquita is unpretentious and cozy. On the weekends I would HIGHly recommend a reservation because they do not have many seats. We went in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and put our names down for a resi. We walked around the neighborhood for 30 minutes then came back to be sat. On the weekends they do ask you to order food along with tea which is fair since the place is so small. The tea selection is intense- they have so many flavors to choose from. I ended up going with Patagonia berry. My bf and I sat at a table outside, enjoyed our tea, and read our books. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich. It was good but I think I want to try a dessert w tea the next time I stop in. You order at the counter and are then shown your seats. The service is quick and attentive. They also let you buy tea in bulk to take home!

The tea selection is incredible, fun spot for antique shopping too. Limited indoor seating but lots of outdoor spots. Great place to catch up with people or even have a date- you get a large individual pot of tea. The food is good but pricey for amount- this place is best understood as tea and snacks. I loved the milk oolong and the tropical coconut. They've got everything from oolong to black to berry and herbal teas... can't wait to come back! Perfect conversation spot.

Loved this find. We stopped by to get some tea and had such a fun time. We sat in the outdoor booth. Highly recommend, will definitely visit again.
