Store seems to have a nice assortment but hasn't allowed in-store shopping since COVID. That means that you can't really check out the various teas/ snacks but rather have to choose between 1-2 suggestions from the owner. I would love to buy more teas here if there was a better shopping experience!

Came here based on the reviews, but disappointed to see they weren't open for in-store business as the door was locked. The owner came to the door and directed me to the printed sheet of items they had for sale displayed in the window. I saw coffees, but no actual teas. They seem to be getting ready to get back ready for in-person though. Cash only (or check lol).

When my fiancé and I moved to the area, we were so excited to have a store with British goodies nearby (my fiancé is English). We went to get Buttons and the owner of the shop was incredibly rude. He said he only had 8 packs and I wanted to buy them all, and he basically told me no because he has regulars. While I appreciate he's loyal to his regulars, I would have become a regular had he been nicer.

Small business, owner operated. Super nice guy, patient and helpful. Roasted coffee here is great. Tons of great imported English groceries. Good prices.

I don't drink coffee. And when I'm not being endlessly ridiculed for it by cruel, caffeinated co-workers, I pick up all sorts of excellent teas and tea accessories at Two For the Pot. The nice man who runs this joint also sells jams, spices, coffee and more. It's small, but holds a lot more than you'd think it could.
But even with such stellar stock, my favorite item in the store (that I haven't purchased) is the lion's head mug, if only because there's a sign next to it admitting that it could be a baboon's, or demented clown's head mug, depending on your point of view.Helpful 10Thanks 0Love this 20Oh no 0 - W L.Brooklyn, NY05Oct 13, 2021

I've been buying tea and coffee here for year. It really is as good as it gets. I started buying my spices from here also at some point. Finally, I can never leave without trying some of the Walkers potato chips

Great collection of everything to do with the culture of tea. Some great British marmalade's etc. the owner really knows his onions.

I felt right at home at this cluttered, schizophrenic tea shop. Usually on the weekends, I like to come down Atlantic and get some groceries at Sahadi's, Damascus Bread Shop, TJs and maybe pick up a good book at Court St. Bookshop. Now, I can add this place to the rotation.
They carry all kinds of teas here, so you're in for a treat. Too bad when I came in, they were out of Moroccan mint. The owner was gracious and said that if I came back in 20 minutues, he would be able to have some grinded up. I was in hurry, so I chose to have some Japanese sencha.
In addition, if you are an expat from Great Britain, you will find some things that remind you of home. I mean they have TWIGLETS? Oh man, that brings back memories of me and my bestie living it up one New Year's in a hostel 10 years ago. Sigh...getting old sucks. They of course have Walker's chips and all sorts of Cadbury candies, Hobnob digestives and marmite (yuck).
They also carry coffee too. Def worth checking out if you're doing a bit of grocery shopping on this end of Atlantic!Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - 1521299244May 8, 2016
I've walked past many times, and only JUST discovered this gem. It's filled with British desserts, treats, and so many wonderful options for tea. I'll be back for Ribena!
