Tea Shop in the Village

I was in NYC last week and stopped for tea at a small shop in the Village. I believe it was actually on McDougal but wouldn't swear to it. Does anyone by chance know the name?

    Tea Spot?

    Heh heh, yes it kinda looks like a Starbucks. But it doesn't smell like one (overpoweringly of coffee, that is).

      Maybe it was Porto Rico on Bleecker and MacDougal. They're more purveyors of fine teas and coffees, but I know you can get a cup there.

        Thanks for the tip - I will try to track that down and see. They didn't serve food really, more like pastries. It was not quite on a corner, up some stairs, a little pricey but great tea!

          It definitely wasn't Porto Rico then, since they don't serve food. If it was up some stairs, it was probably La Lanterna or the tea house next door to it. La Lanterna is old world charming but has food in addition to pastries. The tea house next door could be a Starbucks and you'd barely notice.
