Cha An Teahouse

Established in 2004 by restaurateur Bon Yagi, Cha-An Teahouse is a serene, Kyoto-style retreat located on the second floor of a building in New York City's East Village. The teahouse is widely regarded as a quiet escape from the bustling city, offering a moody, traditional atmosphere characterized by Japanese decor and a focus on authentic tea culture. It is a destination for those seeking a peaceful environment to enjoy high-quality teas and carefully crafted Japanese sweets.

The menu features a variety of bold teas from around the world alongside seasonal Japanese desserts and light bites. While the establishment is not gluten-free, they do provide gluten-free options, which are clearly indicated on their menu to assist guests with dietary restrictions. Service options include dine-in experiences, such as their popular afternoon tea and tea ceremonies, as well as a selection of treats available for purchase. Guests are encouraged to contact the teahouse directly for specific inquiries regarding their menu or dietary accommodations.
