Sanctuary T

Cool ambiance, good tea, and decent nosh. I had a good time here. The staff is attentive and the décor is lovely. I’m not usally a tea person, but if I’m ever in the area, I will stop by!

Always a great time. Awesome atmosphere, great music and service is above and beyond !!! I stop in every NYC trip!

Had the most lovely experience here yesterday for brunch! My sister both got a blt e (egg) on a croissant with a hot toddy and a toasted almond latte. It was all just scrumptious– every bite and our cozy beverages. My hot toddy was spiked with maple tea infused bourbon and it was perfect. The atmosphere was really pleasant, not too loud or crowded we were really able to talk. Our server Lauren was THE best! So helpful, knowledgeable and fun we loved her.
Overall– very enjoyable, cozy and tasty.

I was at Sanctuary T for a private party. The space worked out great for the number of people in attendance. The cucumber sandwiches were perfect finger food. The Sake To Me was quite delicious and has to be the most unique cocktail I’ve ever tried. This is definitely a place I’d like to eat at sometime during regular business hours.

Slow service even when there are no other customers. Workers are too busy chatting with each other and I had to go up to them myself several times.

Came here for the first time today visiting a friend from out of town. I ordered the Turkey Melt sandwich. Tasted great and I had no problems at all with the dish! It was also accompanied with some salad.
The staff were friendly and the place reminded me of a restaurant you would find in Amsterdam; cozy and warm.
If you’re a driver like me, don’t make the mistake of trying to park in this area. It’s surrounded by signs that say you cannot park prior to 6/​7pm. So it might be a place to check out in the later evening hours.
Overall, it was a great experience and had no problems with the food, staff, or the restaurant itself. Very clean I might add too! All this gets them the 4 stars, minus 1 star for location.

Tried the burger and the chicken wrap, the food here is pretty decent. I like their wide selection of tea, maybe try the flowering/​blooming teas since they’re the most interesting to watch. They’d do better to have separate teapots for those, since the blooming is more impressive when it’s not restricted in a tall glass.

A fun place for a drink, and a spot of tea guvnah, hip hip, cheerio. The bartender was cool, I got a cocktail where he took some duck fat, used a blowtorch to make it start smoking, and then put my drink glass over the smoke. He let it sit there for a few minutes, took it off and poured a bourbon drink into the smokey glass. Every sip not only delicious, but smelled delicious too, what a cool drink. I tried my date’s tea, and that was tasty as well, they leave the tea strainer for you to use as you wish.
Overall, a nice atmosphere, got a little loud at the tables behind us (we were at the bar), but it was ok since you could still hear each other talk easily. Nice and dark, it was a good time.

Expensive!!! Expensive!!! Expensive!!!
See my suggestion at the end:
I actually like this place, it got a genuin touch to it but its too expensive.
Me and my girlfriend have been here 1.5year ago snd ehen we came back to NY and stayed at very good Soho Grand we thought, why not go back!
After being offered still or sparkling they came back with a huge bottle of water that cost $ 8 and with tax and tip its over $ 10! And i heard they do the same to other tables like it wasnt an option. Thats a ripoff according to me!
After two coffes, one granola, one egg plate and one juice we remembered why we didnt go back. $ 80 for breakfast is a ripoff even if its good. If I go to a michelin star restaurant i know its gonna be expensive, but this place. Sorry
Instead go to Pi-​Bakery just around the corner, $ 30 for the same things and it tastes better.

Was there for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We ordered a breakfast burrito and a bowl of granola with yogurt & fruit along with a Jasmine tea and coffee drink.
The food was just okay. The bill was nearly $ 50. Really? They charged us $ 9 for a cup of jasmine tea. I don’t mind paying for great food. The prices charged were outrageous.

Excellent brunch in a super cozy quaint setting. Food was very fresh and killer Bloody Mary with house made tomato juice. Excellent!

Nice brunch spot. I usually head there for lunch after a morning at the spa :) The staff is super friendly and the service is fast. I walk in (no reservations) and always get seated quickly. It’s laid back and quiet, but the tables fill up quickly. Food and drinks are tasty.

I tasted the whole menu, and love mostly everything. My addiction is their Kale Salad with grilled chicken or shrimp; and the blueberry pancakes with bacon on the side. The service is fantastic too! Love it there. Even had a baby shower there for one of my best friends.

Honestly had the worst experience ever here. If they’d allow 0 stars if go for it in a heartbeat. To begin with, we came here after knowing a friend of ours came as well. So I got my hopes high. We came in and were greeted by the workers but weren’t seated just yet. We wanted to sit by the door seat but the table was dirty so we just waited for the waiter to clean it. After a few moments, we told him that we’d sit there but yet he still didn’t wipe the mess the previous customers made. After waiting for SOOO long, we finally got the menu. After waiting for another 10 minutes or so the waiter finally came to get our order. Mind you, our table wasn’t fully cleaned yet. He took another tables’ order before us even though they came before… Despite all this inconvenience, on the bright side we were about 10 minutes away from being able to order from the lunch menu, yet the waiter was nice enough to let us order the truffle Mac and cheese. We also ordered a blt from the breakfast menu. Another 20 minutes went by and our food finally came. It looked pretty appetizing but the result was inferior. The Mac and cheese was too watery and it didn’t have enough taste to it. In addition to that, they literally gave us 5 tiny bits of bacon??? $ 12 for this is such a rip off.
While reading other reviews, mine is pretty controversial. But, I’m just stating facts.
Regardless of the terrible experience, don’t get me wrong but the waiters are pretty nice and this is a cute little place.

What a WONDERFUL surprise thus place was. First time I dined here, I stumbled across it walking back to my hotel and my meal was so good, I now make it a point of returning every time I’m in NYC as I’ve found it always delivers!
Dinner ambiance is cozy, semi-​casual & lively with low lighting and mellow music (played at low volume). You see everyone from small groups grabbing dinner after work to couples grabbing a drink at the bar. Service has always been on point & I’ve always managed to get seated without a wait.
The farm to table style menu is on point with a lot of clean eating options. Wine list is small but good and prices are right in the middle. I would say an easy-​going, super delicious, cozy must if you’re in the neighborhood and hungry!

Wow. So disappointing. I sat down for ten minutes (they seated me at a table that hadn’t been cleaned, that’s ok because it was the only small one available) and walked out without getting any water. I had to stop a busser just to get a menu.
3:45 on a Friday afternoon, it wasn’t that busy, and other tables got their menus and water before me. And yes, they came in after me.
It was only when I stood up to leave that the server came by to ask how I was. I am not impressed!

Well, I’ve loved the salad before but was very disappointed today when I got it to go. I paid $ 17.42 including tax for this salad (plus tip). When I got back to the office it was less than appealing. Not very fresh. Check out this browning red cabbage. When you spend $ 20 (with tip), I would hope to get a fresh salad at the very least.
The bartender who I ordered from had a beautiful smile and the service was quick. I’m just really disappointed by the salad.

Well I basically feel like I drank a cup of olive oil…
We wanted to be spontaneous so dropped in. Also the prices were decent. Put in our order and waited a good 30 minutes for it to come out. The restaurant was scorching hot, they didn’t have the AC on, only two fans which didn’t seem to do anything. I ordered the shrimp with white wine in a garlic sauce. It came out in a bowl, and was literally plain shrimp sitting in a bowl of olive oil with some garlic on the bottom and one parsley leaf barely chopped up. I couldn’t taste the white wine acidity and this is where the overdose of olive oil comes in. I also ordered the zucchini fries which were horrendous. They basically took a zucchini, cut it into fourths length wise, and dropped it in a deep fryer. It was more like deep fried zucchini chunks with no flavor and too much oil. I couldn’t eat it and sent it back. Luckily they comped us for this and the waitress was sympathetic about how the dish is misleading.
My husband had the lemongrass chicken which was virtually flavorless and overlooked. Nothing is worse than dry chicken.
The décor was pretty and drinks seemed interesting but I will not, absolutely not, ever come back. And please do yourself a favor and walk a few streets up to Spring where there is much better food.
Keeping it to two stars because the waitress was nice and bartender friendly.

I am not sure why this place has so so reviews. And I literally lived on the same block forever but never got to try this place until now. Wish I knew this place before.
My friend and I were so thirsty so we were looking for anywhere to get some drink and we just walked in.
I always thought this place was one of restaurants on W Broadway which I am not really fan of… but yes, they do have food menu there but surprisingly they have great refreshment menu.
Place Was packed so we sat at the bar and we both got fresh fruity drink. You can literally ask anything you want, the waiter (didn’t get his name) was so knowledgable with drink and he kindly accommodated any special order we asked. I asked for ginger, lime and mint ice tea. I wanted to be sweet but not sugary so I had it with honey. Yum and super fresh. My friend got strawberry lemonade and there were good amount of fresh strawberries in her drink. She absolutely loved it. Waiter even gave to us free rose wine on the house. Awesome!. It got really busy during weekend and hard to grab a seat but fresh tea and great service just make everything worth it.

Came here with a friend for dinner after a recommendation from a coworker and we had a great time.
Kortnee was a wonderful server and gave us all explanations with a smile. My friend had the pear cobbler tea and I the roasted almond. We spilt a few small plates: the kale and cauliflower seasonal flatbread (listed as an appetizer but is a full serving size), 2 fish tacos, the brussel sprouts. All were delicious and the 3 were a perfect serving for us both.
A small space, great for a meeting, catch-​up or date. I will definitely be back to try a tea cocktail.

Juste cet endroit est génial! Petit et cosy, Sanctuary T propose un concept autour du thé, des infusions et une petite carte de plats. Perso, je vous recommande le chicken wrap (poulet/​avocat + salade) qui est délicieux…
En prime, peut être l occasion de croiser une star, la première fois on a mangé à côté du top Christie Turlington :-))
