mcnultys Review

Great service and fantastic selection of teas and coffees.

Love this local tea shop. Has a ton of loose teas - which is difficult to come across in nyc. Love how it s right in my neighborhood. Super nice and helpful, too. They also have tea leaves I haven t been able to locate elsewhere (spearmint, etc).

Update 12/17 - I've been a customer for probably 25 years, and they never cease to amaze. With NYC in the condition it's in, I ordered online yesterday afternoon.. The order was delivered this morning. Granted, I'm in Westchester, but next day . . . that is some speedy service. Thank you!

Heaven for tea and coffee lovers. Dizzying number of choices. Love their custom blend coffees - special mocha java and McNulty's especially. Friendly guys - David, Wing, and Tom especially. But the coming generation, too. Like going back in time to be in their shop

This was one of the best coffee shops I've been to & I am from So.Cal would definitely come again if I was in the area. I got the birthday cake latte & they even wrote my name as latte art. It was busy but not packed and our food and drinks were out pretty fast.

A very homely little shop, everything they have is very authentic and they have a ton of choices I haven't seen anywhere else. Their prices are extremely fair, and the workers are very polite, and helped picked out a tea for somebody based off of their preferences.

McNulty's is absolutely amazing. It's an old fashioned sytle coffee shop that feels incredible to walk into, they have a HUGE selection of coffee and loose teas sold by weight, as little or as much as you want. They grind your coffee right there and have a great selection of tea already in bags. I am currently living in Boston and this is one of the places I miss most in NYC!

My absolute go-to for bulk buying teas from around the world. Since there are so many variations to choose from, what's best is that the teas are in large glass jars, allowing you to look and smell at your leisure before committing. The owners are the nicest ever, and I love the old-timey scale and packaging equipment used. Service with a genuine smile!

They have a tea that I get every time I'm in the city!

Great place to buy teas and coffee at a reasonable price. I've known the proprietor for years and they are some of the nicest people.

This place was so nice! Reasonably priced and affordable teas and the staff was very friendly. They have all the different types of tea in jars so you can smell them and use that to pick if you don't know what you want. The Earl Grey blend is wonderful!

The staff is really helpful. I've been going here for at least 10 years, always to get bulk quantity of their fruit tea, which is the best I've ever used.

The coffee is pretty good, but the biggest draw is the inviting space. Whether you're here alone or with a group of friends (or a study group), there's something for everyone, from cozy couches in the back room to tables on a beautiful shaded patio.

Varied selection and a nice atmosphere. I really loved it!!

McNulty's is great !!! They have an unbelievable selection of coffee and tee. And the staff is extremely helpful and pleasant. I would't go anywhere else !!!

Love the low lighting. Gives it a Indiana Jones/opium den feel. In a good way.

My favorite coffee spot in all of New York. Hidden away off the beaten path. Nice ambiance. Amazing coffee.

An extremely old coffee and tea store. You can buy just about any kind of tea here and the staff is extremely helpful. This isn't a store, it's an experience.

The greatest tea ever.
Many varieties and great produce.

super friendly service. Local owners. Amazing cup of specialty coffee.

A fun date idea and also great to find and smell new scents/tea flavors. Cool, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. They sell chocolate too.

Great place to go for some good coffee, sweets and do business deals. Very friendly, polite, and efficient staff was admirable. I am deeply impressed by how they handled the service correctly with no hassles at all. The affordable pricing of their dessert was incredible! Their cakes were perfect for sweets craving. "5 stars!

From the front desk, Lea quickly addressed my inquiries. She never fails me on my high expectations. My orders were on time and I was also charged with a fair price. Thank you so much for the awe-inspiring service from the beginning until the end. Cheers to more customers in the future. Such an amazing service! I will surely come back!

A great family own and operated shop. This place will make you fall in love with New York all over again. Oh, you better love coffee before moving here. If you don't, expect plenty of side eye and prepare to have all your opinions dismissed.

Not to fret, this long time shop will help you on your way to becoming a proud continence coffee lover. You must have this brown liquid pumping through your veins all day, everyday, especially, if you want to survive this town with any resemblance of your former sanity intact.

I come here for the smell. If you see me here standing with my eyes closed and breathing deeply, do not interrupt me. I will Mick Jagger you. And don't even ask me what that means.

Got told about this from a customer of mine in the west village and this place didn t disappoint. Overwhelming selection , but staff is so knowledgeable and friendly they walk you thru everything got some amazing stuff can t wait to finish it so I can go back

McNulty's Tea & Coffee sells the best whole bean coffee and loose tea in NYC. It is worth the trip! Be advised they do not serve drinks.

Love this tea shop. They have everything you could ever want in a tea and coffee store. It smells amazing and it feels like stepping back in time when you go inside. The prices are really good for the quality of the tea. I haven't tried the coffee actually but my guess is it's just as fine as the tea.

Been shopping here my whole life. Everything and anything coffee or tea. Best place on the planet.

Amazing, helpful, and friendly staff, delicious coffee

Excellent selection for very affordable prices. I have yet to find another tea shop that even compares.

Love this place! Great selection and variety, with a super helpful and friendly staff to match! Definitely check out this hidden gem!

You can't beat McNulty's for excellent selection, superb know how, and great customer service. Their large selection of teas keep me coming back

Service is good and friendly, always eager to help with the tough decisions, like should I have ice cream with the cherry pie !!!

Best place in NoHo to get weed, I drive all the way from NY to come to this exact spot in actually on the way now.. don't miss out on Wake & Bake!

I have loved their coffee for decades. Rather disappointed today when, having spent more on shipping than the cost of 1lb of chocolate covered expresso beans, they arrived as a melted slab of chocolate. Their response when I called to ask about UPS was, we normally don't ship that stuff during the summer.... Thanks for warning me!

Like stepping into the past. The small shop has to be experienced. We were helped by the owner and made to feel like we were old customers. The coffee was tremendous and though we don't live near enough to frequent, we will be buying over the web. This is a dry goods store, they do not sell prepared coffee or tea.

They have an amazing selection of teas. I love 1001 nights.

I got the coffee latte. Oh my God! It was some of the best coffee I've ever taste. Not too hot. Not too cold. Frothy and smooth. Just the right amount of sweet!

Always like this place for their coffee and tea accessories, flavor selections, fresh grinds and just nice employees.

Very old fashion ship with a great selection of teas

McNulty's is a little slice of old New York. It's a hole in the wall with the most extensive selection of teas and coffees in New York. Besides the extensive selection their knowledgeable and friendly staff are happy to answer questions.

Great aesthetic, friendly staff, over the top attitude during the quarantine. Some classic delicious coffee

Strongly recommend! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable; plus the selection is vast. The coffee beans I bought are some of the best I've ever brewed (Java French Roast).

I've been meaning to try this place for a while and finally got a chance to! It's a bit out of the way for me but definitely worth the trip. The cafe's a great place to either sit and chat with friends or study. There's a decent amount of tables and seats but limited amount of plugs. Some of the tables have "no laptop" signs, so there's an even amount of people who are hanging out with friends and people who are studying.

Great shop great variety the cashier was very friendly and not at all trying to push me towards a sale great prices and coffee definitely returning

The man who attends is a love. The New York Tea House

You can travel to the other side of the world & you will not find a tea house like McNulty s. This is tea heaven. Enjoy!

Great selection, a little angsty in there, but great tea!

A NYC institution! It's like stepping back in time to get your caffeine fix

It's not a far cry to say it's one of my favorite coffees in the city. Beans are great ( Temple ) & truth be told, I'm addicted to their butterscotch latte - 1/2 sweet, with almond milk, and every time - they deliver with a smile. All of them, which is a f'in rarity these days. The coffee isn't the only thing that's warm here :) I just moved closer to the neighborhood and couldn't be happier to start my mornings/kick start my afternoons with one of their bevs.

Excellent location to purchase the best coffee/tea money can buy!

Lil Tea-Coffee shop, authentic vibe, old school scales, many jars to sniff from, staff is patient and helpful, good prices! Definitely worth coming a visit.

They have been around a long time and have a great selection of affordable tea and coffee but they have insane shipping costs, totally crazy expensive. Why dont they use the USPS?

Very special place in NY amazing selection of teas and coffees! Highly recommend for any tea and coffee connoisseurs.

It is always a pleasure to shop at this store. Such huge variety of coffees and teas. I have been shopping for my Celebes Kalossi for about 15 years now. The employees have great knowledge on their products. Such a rare quality these days. Thanks.

Lovely, traditional coffee and tea show in lower manhattan. The smells in there are amazing. I walked away with some of their house roast (a combo of two beans), and a colombian. Both excellent, and good prices as well!

Friendly staff that would recommend you coffee from their selections. Decent quality and cheaper. It's just inconsistent sometimes maybe due to how long it's been on shelf.

McNaulty's has by far the best tea selection I've come across. They weigh it out, and sell it by the quarter pound. Most are loose leaf selections with some bagged tea selections. The loose leaf selections are broad and includes a lot of my hard to find teas from my time living in China. Run by a Chinese father and son, and all other staff is helpful and makes suggestions of things to try if you want, per your regular purchases. Good coffee selection too, however I tend to go for their teas.

A tea lover's dream come true! I purchased incredible coffee beans and Lapsang Souchong tea, which is hard to come upon these days. Will be back!

This place is rare. Stumbled upon this when I was at a street fair. They have tea and coffee imported from many different places. Will definitely be going back when I have more time.

I drink A LOT of tea. I'm talking at least eight cups a day. I knew when I came home to visit, I needed tea and so I decided to check this place out since it was close to where I was staying. I'm trying not to be too provincial about my rating, because it's clear to me that New Yorkers pay a lot more for fresh loose leaf than I'm accustomed to paying in other parts of the country. But when you get past that part, it's a nice enough place with a large selection of teas. The system is somewhat inefficient. You come in, there's a long line (when I came in) and then someone goes to fetch your tea for you once it's your turn to order. It's efficient in a sense and everyone is polite enough, but it's a bit clunky if you've been to any other kind of tea store in a (less populated) different place.

So I guess the verdict is, it's nice enough. But a bit on the pricey side and if you're a newcomer to loose-leaf tea looking for a selection, this is probably not the first place I'd recommend because it's daunting and not especially inviting. But for my purposes, it got the job done. Especially if you need loose-leaf tea and are staying in Jersey, because it's literally a block from the PATH. (There's also Indian and Thai across the street. An extra treat!)

Best tea shop in NYC! Staff is super helpful and friendly.

It's like taking a step back in time before cvs and citibank were on every block. This place is small and may as well be magic. Heck they may sell magic wands and potions in the back. I grabbed two of the house made teas and it's kind of nuts that I actually saved money vs getting a box of mass produced tea in a store. Overall great place and great service. They let me roam around while I was deciding and made a great recommendation as well when I was ready to get something. They also sell coffee which I didnt need at the time but may go back in to try.

Small coffee spot that offers baked goods as well. The guy who works there is pretty helpful and gave me suggestions upon asking some questions. Its a hole in the wall with some charm.

Haven't had a chance to try the teas yet but I must already give 5 stars just for how kind and friendly the staff are. I had an entire list and everything was available. The prices are reasonable. Also can I just bottle up the amazing aroma in the shop? I'll definitely come back.

Every morning, I drop by at this coffee shop to buy a coffee. I really their coffee very much because it's freshly brewed and each morning they had freshly baked pie which I love the most. I love the coziness of this place. It was so relaxing and calming. The barista was really great at making delicious coffee.

If I happen to be on this side of the hill, this where I like to spend my mornings with a paring of a few cups of fine brewed coffee and doobs, with my laptop open feeling the AM vibes! Shout to Shaggy for putting me on!

This place was so good! Just loved the coffee and the atmosphere. Was a wonderful time and no matter what time of day you go, there is always a fine selection of things to eat and the wait staff are always polite and courteous.

I will definitely come back. If you do go, no matter what coffee you order will be delicious.

Absolutely wonderful selection of teas with attentive and knowledgeable staff

Don't believe the review on here that says 'free WIFI and good pastries;' this is not a coffee shop at which you consume products. They sell beans and loose tea. And for that, they are PERFECT. Extensive selection, top quality, just a wonderful local business. Hibiscus 4ever.

Came here to try out the coffee since I heard the place was good. I tried the mocha with chilli and it was great. It had a nice spicy tang that wasn't overly spicy. The place is quite nice too. I was able to find sitting which was nice because I came at a relatively busy time. The barista was also helpful with recommendations. I would definitely return.

Great selection of coffee & tea from around the world. Small quantities available to experiment. I recommend them.

Best tea in the city, hands down. They know what they have and they are very helpful.

Amazing selection of loose teas. Fantastic flavors.

Amazing little tea and coffee shop with all kinds of rare and hard-to-find varieties. Prices are higher than what you'd see at a grocery store but not outrageous at all. Also, the quality is out of this world, the staff very friendly and knowledgeable, and the selection is wide enough for everyone to find something. The smells alone from walking into the shop will convince you to shop nowhere else.

Excellenteeee! Worth a visit! They sell tea and coffee from all over the world since 1895. If you run out of yerba for eo mate, they also have! :)

Awesome!! The various smells of coffee and tea flavors are amazing! They have everything I could (and could not) imagine. Love it!

Boy they know coffee. For years I was hocked on Illy's espresso but not anymore. Love everything about this place. Like going back in time to a perfect place. And.... their herbal teas are also great. Must visit.

It's a cozy space to meet up with a friend or do some work on your laptop. I got two large Catchall which is a match latte. I liked that it wasn't too sweet but also had a lot of match in it.

Wifi is available and they have a frequent reward stamp card.

Legendary coffee beans, helpful staff, a must stop location whether you are from NYC or visiting to bring home a souvenir. My favorite is the ethiopian harrar.
