Duo Cafe

This Chinese tea house is a hidden gem in the East Village! A cozy spot with a natural interior, this is the perfect place to catch up with a friend or go for a solo, peaceful treat. Service here is great. When you arrive, you're given a basket of tea leaves and you get the choice to choose one or a couple of them to sample. All of them were so fragrant and there was a good variety of them of choose from. My friend and I got their sweets tea set with their milky oolong tea and both loved it. The sweets tea set came with melon, dried fruit, cookies, and a bruleed sweet potato. Everything was sweet, but not overwhelming—the perfect pairing for the milky oolong. It was so peaceful and the perfect spot to enjoy your tea while chatting with a friend!

Such a lovely place! The cake I ordered was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, with a clear, delightful scent of black tea. The jasmine tea was wonderful too. I think everything here is just perfect.

Their sweet potato itself already just nice for me, but for ones who have a super sweet tooth , their ice cream will definitely satisfy their craving . Their taro cheesecake taste really good combine with light whipped cream

Great great spot for fun matchas. I loved both the peach matcha and the biscoff hojicha. The taro matcha was good but not a strong taro flavor. The biscoff matcha/ hojicha came highly recommended by the staff (surprisingly) and it was actually really delicious if you’re in the mood for a dessert/milkshake vibes. Morning is too sweet. Everything is just perfect. Inside I’m super cute and tranquil. I loveeee the seat near the window. The staff are super nice !!!

A true gem featuring authentic Asian teas and desserts! The salted egg yolk basque cheesecake was INCREDIBLE. A lovely place to journal or catch up with friends.
