Places to Venture {Brooklyn} - Bellocq Tea Atelier

From the outside of of Bellocq Tea Atelier in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, you would never know that an enchanting tea parlor awaits you.  The exterior is very 'Greenpoint' if you will - it looks like a active brick warehouse; however, you are quickly convinced otherwise as soon as you slip past the large black doors. Inside, a quiet oasis awaits you filled with yellow tea canisters, quince blossoms, the aroma of herbal teas and rays of ethereal light that filters through the large scale windows.  The highlight of this shop is the sitting room, which has a color palette that is impossibly pretty with shades ofsteely blues, dusty pinks with hints of gold and yellow.  Bellocq Tea Atelier, originally from Kings Road, London has moved their headquarters to the New York City area. If you live in New York or if you are planning a visit, I really recommend that you venture across the East River to this beautiful gem.  Continue for more...
