Bestea By HITCH in New York

"Bestea in Babylon is the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately want to gatekeep. It’s insanely cute and totally Instagram-worthy, with every corner giving you something fun, dreamy, or unexpected to look at. You can honestly get lost exploring all the little details, and it never feels like your typical café. The customer service is top-tier too — even on a rainy Sunday, everyone was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. The atmosphere has this soft, romantic energy that works just as well for a girls’ date as it does for something more intimate. Highly recommend if you want a cozy, aesthetic, unforgettable little escape right in the village."

"BesTea is an extremely photogenic shop serving up delicious teas with perfectly instagrammable relaxation spots. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re transported into a spot from a movie. Everything is very pink and stylish, artsy and cozy. They’re design work in setting this place up was pretty incredible. The staff is so welcoming and kind, offering up suggestions and expertly crafting some delicious teas. I ordered the Chamomile Mint which is a combo I’ve made myself several times but haven’t seen anyone else offer it. Really hit the spot for an afternoon of relaxing and getting some work done. The prices were all really reasonable too! There’s plenty of seating, from a small table outside, a huge window nook, some stools at the counter, and another section of chairs and couches with an umbrella inside the back of the shop. It’s all super cozy and inviting. I also checked out the shop next door which is connected through and run by the same owner. It’s a cute place where they bring in products form local artists and crafts people. I highly recommend swinging by for some good vibes and good teas!"

"Beatea by hitch is beautiful coffee shop. The atmosphere is welcoming. We had a fun coffee date. There’s so many photo options in this location. I ordered a Matcha iced tea with something else cannot remember, but it tasted so good and it came in this cute heart shape cup."

"Had a great girls day this past weekend! We visited the Charm Bar and made our own charm necklaces! The staff were all amazing, personable and super helpful! The tea was so delicious and they had the best candy selection at the candy bar! Browsed around the store as well and they had so many cute things, I’ll for sure be back!"

"Cute little tea shop located in the heart of Babylon village. The customer service was pretty good, kind and courteous young lady. I ordered the mango citrus blossom, it wasn’t too sweet or too tart. They gave us the option to sing karaoke while we did our facials. There were some sweets that we could’ve purchased and the shop next door is connected to it which was cool to peruse around it."

"As soon as I was walked in, everyone was very nice and welcoming. The service was very helpful and friendly! She suggested I got the strawberry matcha, but I stuck to the normal matcha latte. I got mines with less ice, oat milk, and a little bit of french vanilla. The color of the matcha is pretty- a light green with hints of yellow coloring (I would say.) In the first sip, I was introduced to a VERY light matcha. It had hints of nuts, vegetal, and vanilla (due to the syrup) notes. In the after taste, I was introduced to a pronounced astringency and was left in a little bit of disappointment. I feel that the milk is overpowering the actual matcha so I might choose a different type of milk for this particular matcha. In my opinion, this is more of a beginner matcha because it’s not a very complex and strong matcha."

"The tea here is so amazing. The owner is the sweetest ever. Me and my friend got matching permanent bracelets in his next door store called Hitch which is attached to Bestea! They are so cute and it was so special."

"Hosted a private event here on a Saturday morning in October. The owner is such a nice person and worked with me to come up with the best solution of setting every detail and area of the space up for my event. The drinks and teas were so delicious and all the guests truly enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere of the place. I highly recommend BesTea if you’re looking to host a party for a smaller group."
