The Whimsical Tea Room In New Jersey That’s Like Something From A Storybook

New Jersey has well over a dozen tea rooms, each more charming than the next. A refined tradition from the Victorian era, formal teas faded away over the years but are back in all their splendor. While there are so many tea houses in New Jersey that I adore, New Leaf Tea House stands out for its whimsical atmosphere and the exceptional experience that it offers guests. You will fall in love the moment you arrive and will want to come back again and again to enjoy the lovely environment of this special place.

The New Leaf's charm begins with its exterior. It is housed in a lovingly restored 1910 Victorian storefront and adjacent 1898 house.

The New Leaf Tea Room is located in historic Riverton, New Jersey, and has been a local favorite for over 30 years. Just a short walk from the scenic Delaware River, the tea room is easily accessible from Pennsylvania off the Tacony Palmyra Bridge and from the rest of New Jersey from highways, including the Burlington Pike (130), The New Jersey Turnpike, and I-295.

The New Leaf Tea Room is one of the best New Jersey tea places you'll find anywhere! It offers themed teas with entertaining musical, historical, and theatrical presentations. In addition to a selection of over 35 delicious teas, your meal will include their famous freshly baked scones, seasonal fruit, assorted tea sandwiches, and decadent desserts.
