Our Story

A love letter to the art of slow tea

Silly Goose Tea was born from a simple conviction: that the best moments in a day are the ones taken for a cup of properly made tea. What started as a passion for sourcing exceptional leaves has grown into a neighborhood gathering place on West 39th Street.

Every blend in our shop is chosen for its character — whether it's the delicate floral notes of a Japanese sencha or the bold, malty depth of a Ceylon orange pekoe. Our bakers arrive before dawn so that by the time you walk in, the croissants are still warm and the scones are cooling on the rack.

From the Oven

Pastry that makes tea taste even better

Our kitchen opens at 5 a.m. Every croissant is laminated by hand. Every scone is mixed before the city wakes up. We believe that a great cup of tea deserves an equally thoughtful companion.

Our selection rotates with the seasons — buttery pain au chocolat in the winter, fruit-filled tarts when berries are at their peak, and our signature lemon shortbread that pairs beautifully with a cup of Earl Grey.
