This place is adorable and the food is good enough to satisfy even meateaters. The fake turkey club is really good and the crostini spreads are original and delicious. There are so many tasty tea drinks that it's hard to choose. Also, the service is fine, outdoor seating is a plus, and it's inexpensive. I'll definitely go back for more. Pros: Vegetarian food, Service, Prices Cons: Uncomfortable chairs

I went here with my boyfriend (a meat eater) and he REALLY likes to have his meat, so he didn't enjoy as much as I did. But I had the Turkey Club sandwich and IT WAS SO GOOD. The bacon and turkey tasted like real turkey....the bread was perfect. Another time I had the goat cheese sandwich but it was too tiny..hardly enough filling and mostly bread taste...eh. I did try their Chocolate Peanut Butter Bomb though. I CANNOT believe that dessert is Vegan...it's so PLEASURABLE. I even ordered one to go home with!! I'm going back there tomorrow just for the dessert and turkey club. Pros: Good Vegan food!, Courteous service, Cute small setting Cons: Not romantic, not good for groups, Smalllll portions

Ever since my first trip to england, I have lamented America's lack of appreciation for tea. The first time I went to Teany changed my opinion forever. Teany proves that there are a growing number of New Yorkers at least who understand the pleasure of sitting for hours over a drink that seems so simple, yet can be so incredibly satisfying when done right. Teany is the absolute best tea house I've been to in the country, and it vies with the best in GB as well. Oh, and the food and wait staff are absolutely fabulous as well! Pros: very friendly staff, unique, consistent Cons: bad for big groups

This is my favorite veggie place in the city. The teas are great, but the real lure for me is the food. Afternoon tea special with finger sandwiches is outstanding. The scones are sweet and the ham and cheese sandwich is rich and filling. The best dessert is the peanut butter bomb with smooth whipped peanut butter over a rich chocolate cake. Yum! It's a small place, and it can get crowded, but the cuteness makes up for that. Pros: Amazing Food, Stuff for Vegans, Yummy Desserts Cons: Can get crowded

Though small, Teany is a really nice place to just hang out and catch up with friends. The wait staff is really friendly and they always seem to have a smile on their faces. Teany has a huge selection of teas and some excellent vegan fare. I'm not vegan, but I tried their desserts not expecting anything special... their Chocolate Peanut Butter cake is GRRREEEEAATT!!! (a la Tony the Tiger). Mind you... I like chocolate and peanut butter, but this cake really surprised me. I'm not even sure how they got the thing to be so moist. =) Pros: Good vegan food, Crowded at times, Near some good bars Cons: Small space

I was brought to TEANY by a friend who "swore" that it was great... I was not let down. The teas were both abundant and fabulous (which came in open loose tea bags). I tried 4 different types and loved them all. The food was amazing (Turkey Club!, all kinds of pie, platters) (and I'm not a veggie or a vegan). If you're in the Lower E. Side and there is a table available, go to Teany! Pros: Teas!, Food, Atmosphere Cons: Space, Smoke (sometimes)

Moby's teany IS teeny, but luckily the Saturday night we went it wasn't too crowded. I was going to get the chai latte, but figured since I always have that at other places, I would try one of the dozens of teas that are so wonderfully described. I got the almond tea, and it was delicious, as was the vegan peanut butter cake (actually, that was more like heavenly). Great music, very laid back. Cool place to just hang out.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first headed to Teany for a snack--being a vegan I've made it a point to check out every vegan restaurant in New York. It was smaller than expected, and in a slightly unusual neighborhood.. how New York! I wasn't really expecting much from the cafe-like menu and the smallest kitchen I've ever seen... But the food was really excellent, and the atmosphere and decor was kind of cute, despite the claustrophobic quarters. Unfortunately the pesto salad was so big and so good that I didn't have room for any of the vegan desserts, which looked great too! Pros: food, tea selection Cons: small, out of the way

This place IS very teeny. Decor and vibe are "cool", but laid-back. Moby was there, being very unpretentious. We got middle eastern platter and "turkey" sandwich. Turkey sandwich was very tasty. Middle eastern platter was OK. I'm used to "traditional" middle eastern food, but this was a bit different, esp. the tabouleh. In addition, the olives appeared to be out of a jar/can, i.e., they were already pitted. I expected better olives. There's a whole section in the menu dedicated to "tea". Therefore, I was surprised when we ordered a pot of tea, and were given a pot with a tea bag in it, as opposed to a pot with loose tea. I definitely expected loose tea, considering the fact that tea is such a big part of this place, and considering the kitchen had shelves of those small airtight storage containers, which I assumed were for the loose tea. Pros: Ambiance, You get to see Moby! Cons: "Tea" cafe misleading
