Staten Island's Artisan Bakery & Tea House

We Bake Every Morning
Before the Sun Comes Up

Every croissant, scone, and cake at The Vintage Tea is shaped by hand, baked from scratch, and paired with tea sourced from the finest estates around the world. This is food made with patience — because it should taste like it.

Hand-Baked Daily Locally Sourced Made with Love

Baked Before Dawn

Our bakers arrive at 4 AM so the first batch is in the oven before most of Staten Island wakes up. That's why our pastries taste like they came straight from the oven — because they did.

Tea from Six Continents

From the misty hills of Darjeeling to the gardens of Oolong, we import whole-leaf teas directly. Every blend is tasted and approved by our team before it ever reaches your cup.

A Neighborhood Gathering Place

The Vintage Tea isn't just a bakery — it's where neighbors become regulars. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a long afternoon, there's always a seat for you here.

Our Story

A Small Kitchen
with Big Commitments

The Vintage Tea started as a one-oven dream in a shared kitchen on Nelson Avenue. What began as weekend bake sales at the Staten Island Farmers' Market grew into something the neighborhood asked for every day.

We don't use shortcuts. We don't freeze our dough or use pre-made fillings. Every recipe is tested, adjusted, and re-tested until it's the kind of thing you'd make for someone you care about. That's the standard we set for ourselves — and the one we keep.
