I must tell you, one of our favorite activities in the whole world is to go for afternoon tea! Whenever someone comes in town, we always introduce them to our favorite tea place, Alice’s Teacup. This adorable uptown gem (I have been to the E. 64st location but my constant is W. 73rd) serves the best scones you will ever taste. With a variety that includes ingredients such as dark chocolate/strawberry and banana/chocolate, all of their scones rotate in flavor each day. The best part is that they’re served warm! What Alice’s might be most famous for is their pumpkin scone. It’s covered with a gooey caramel topping that is sure to have your taste buds salivating just at the sight of it! Brownie can’t go in to Alice’s without eating a pumpkin scone. We recently tried their “new” Turtle scone (caramel, pecans, and chocolate) and the Double Chocolate Peanut Butter scone. The Double Chocolate Peanut butter was amazing and tasted like a Reeses cup in the form of a scone. The turtle was right out of the oven, moist, and had a delicious glaze on top. You won’t find these types of scones anywhere else in NYC.

Our favorite piece of cake in NYC is Alice’s Chocolate with Buttercream frosting. The buttercream is thick and sweet, generously spread between each layer. The cake is so moist, it tastes like an Oreo cookie dunked in milk. It is THE BEST cake in NYC. One huge piece costs $6 and you will enjoy every bite.
IT’S VEGAN!! Their Orange Cake is delicious and it’s totally vegan! So moist and flavorful, this cake has a jelly-like bottom and a delightful, crispy crust. The top is a thin layer of dried glaze that’s crisp and compliments the moistness perfectly. It goes splendidly with a cup of tea!
