Soricha Tea & Theater

How come I just discovered this place? Many thanks to my fellow friend and Yelper Joyce for bringing me o this place. I absolutely loved it. Soricha Tea and Theater is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is serene and beautifully designed, perfect for relaxing and enjoying high-quality tea. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and guide you through their amazing tea selection. Every sip feels like an experience. Highly recommend for tea lovers or anyone looking for a unique and calming spot! and hey also serve shaved ice with many different flavors and toppings, and it goes well with tea.

Hands down, this is one of my all-time favorite local spots!!Every detail here is thoughtfully curated, from the drinks to the desserts. My go-to order is the Roasted Dandelion smoothie (it tastes like coffee ice cream!), and when I'm with friends it's fun to share the Bingsoo ice desserts. The fruity drinks are also delightful refreshers. Try the berry or grapefruit! Another standout is their extensive tea collection. The servers take great care in steeping your tea and pouring it from beautiful glass pots. Note: The prices are a bit high, but for the quality, it's worth it. Come here to treat yourself to something special - rather than a daily habit! The decor is stunning, too. I love their handcrafted tables and the lovely watercolor paintings on the walls that you can gaze at for hours and feel completely zen! They also have some ancient artifacts on loan from the Korean Embassy! (this is a museum, gallery and café all in one!)An interesting tidbit: This teahouse is one of the first Korean "pansori" centers in the U.S. that features traditional Korean storytelling music. They're home to an award-winning drumming circle, and I highly recommend attending one of their performances. The first one I saw was incredibly moving, even though I didn't understand the lyrics. Such beautiful soulfulness and artistry -- a poetic extension of their craft.

The ambiance is really nice here! However the prices are ridiculously expensive. We ordered the chrysanthemum tea pot which came out to be $25 which is insane for water + some tea leaves. I thought they marked the prices wrong in the online ordering portal and had a double take. Everything costs extra - sugar, honey, even an extra glass! An extra glass is $3 which is crazy to get an extra cup to use. The pot is tiny but at least they give you a bottle of hot water for refills which gives you more than the tiny bit you get from the original pot. We also got a croffle with ice cream and it was basically half an eggo waffle + small scoop of ice cream. Expect everything here to come miniature size! Would love to come here regularly for the ambiance but the prices are not justifiable (even if you live in NYC where prices are high - this is even higher than expected).

I love Soricha! So many authentic tea options in the cutest coziest shop. Tried the seasonal miso caramel latte and rice waffle this time. Cant wait for the miso caramel to come back!

My favorite place to get bingsoo! Their bingsoo are huge though so I typically only come here with a group of 3-4 to share. Tried a few different types and they are all great. Ambiance is nice for hanging out with friends and catching up, although it has been busy the past few times we've been there and had to wait briefly for an open table once or twice!

After seeing so many posts, I knew I had to try the hot Injeolmi latte. It did not disappoint! I got it at less sweet (70%), but think 50% would have been better. It was very aromatic and I wish this was on the menu of more places!

It's a nice environment, it created a traditional South Korea atmosphere. The bowl of the bingsu is huge!! Bigger than the head lol. It didn't have many selections of the flavors, but it seems the store tries to serve more traditional side of the flavors and styles. The bingsu is also not too sweet, which is great.

I'm so glad I found this place. As soon as you enter, the change in atmosphere is immediate. It feels like stepping into a traditional-modern tea shop in Korea--it's really cool! Plus, the service was fantastic; you're greeted as soon as you walk in. The drinks were delicious--I tried the Matcha Latte and the Mugwort Matcha, and I loved the Mugwort more. I'm excited to try more items from their menu!

I've been here two times so far. Pleasant tea and coffee shop. They are very welcoming and explain how the menu works. There are QR codes at the the table where you order from. Very attentive and nice service.

So cute! It's the perfect place to do work on the weekdays, catch up with friends, and have a casual date! The wifi is fast and it's quiet enough to do work or study. The space is large with a variety of seating. It's beautifully decorated and the drinks are amazing! The injeolmi latte was warm and nutty, and my friend really enjoyed her hot matcha. The staff gives off the same vibes as the place; calm and welcoming. The mugwort matcha bing soo is also amazing! They have other flavors as well and they're all ginormous and I'd recommend getting one of you want something sweet and refreshing.
