The Whistling Kettle

The teas here are exquisite and there are so many flavors available! I love that they have these perfect sample size bags so you can try a bunch without committing to a huge bag. You've got to do their afternoon or breakfast tea service; there are so many options for courses and they're all delicious. You'll leave full and happy. Come stay eat chat and catch up with a friend and then choose some yummy teas to take home.

Delicious, and the crepes are huge! The towers are $20 (plus optional upgrades) and the scones come with preserves and sweet cream that are absolutely delicious. I love the expansive drink menu. Perfect for brunch

Heavenly tea in bohemian casual setting! Wonderful experience! This is one happy place :)

Loved everything about this place. The food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance; everything was great. There are hot and cold tea options for all sorts of tastes and great food choices, including gluten and dairy free options. Will definitely be returning!

My daughter and I had lunch here yesterday. Let me just say that they get everything right. The food and teas- wonderful. Limited menu but everything on it is just perfect. Great toasted sandwiches, tasty stuffed crepes, wine slushies. The atmosphere is also perfect- reminiscent of a European cafe, tastefully decorated, nice comfy cozy booths. Our server was the best! And their merch- also wonderful- t shirts, huge selection of teas, ceramic mugs and pots. Highly recommend this restaurant- and the one in Schenectady was just as good. You will never regret a visit to this place!

My Daughter and myself met some friends Diane and her daughter Katie for lunch and it was great . We ordered The Tower which comes with a sandwich on top of the tower , soup or salad on the second tower and dessert on the bottom . It was delicious , they serve all these amazing different flavors of hot and cold teas . It’s a great place to meet with friends for lunch or even by yourself you’ll be pleased

A great cafe. No complains about any of the food I got. The Quiche, Soup, and crepe were all divine. The crepe especially was fantastic, I got the bananna foster, which is bannanas caramelized in butter with brown sugar and rum, and filled with their scone cream sauce. It was delicious.

Highly reccomend.

I always brushed this spot off as just a tea shop but it's way more than that. Some of the best food I've have in months! Their menu has something for everyone. I was pleased with the moisture of the savory scone-wich. I recommend getting on of the towers so you get a mini 3 course meal. I loved that I was able to purchase sample sizes of their wide variety of teas. I can't wait to go back.

I had the brunch tower - lobster bisque, bacon, egg + cheese sandwich, and berries mix crepe paired with mango peach white tea. It was so good. Quick service, very clean and trendy. 10 out of 10 for me.

When our son told us we were going to a Tea place I did not have an idea how good the place was. The tea is fantastic but since I am more of a "coffee kind of guy" I ordered a specialty coffee with chocolate, hazelnut and cinnamon and I have to tell you is one of the best coffees I have ever had in my life! I also ordered the crepes with ham which are to are to die for, along with the tomato soup I just couldn't get enough. This place is "much more" than a tea place (yes they have lots of teas) It is an experience. Stop by and experience one of the best restaurants in all of Troy.

I'm a tea drinker and I love this place, not only for the drinks but the food too. I love getting a panini & the roasted red pepper & smoked gouda soup. And pretty much any of the crepes.

This last visit was especially nice. Meal was great, tea was perfect & our server was awesome. Very attentive and amiable. Couldn't have asked for better service. (Thanks Cody!)

Met friend for lunch and it was a great choice. Loved my ballstonian with turkey and savory pesto aioli and companion was Very happy with farmers crepe. Lovely pot of oolong tea. Attentive service. Would recommend

Great place to eat! I really enjoyed the buffalo chicken salad, which was generous in size and content. The service, staff, and prices, and overall atmosphere was also very good. I really loved dining here and I’d totally recommend this place.

Place is super cute. Great brunch spot . Menu offers a few items but they do them very well. Great Tea and cocktail selections. Wait staff is super nice and accommodating and friendly.

Aside from having a variety of great teas, the food here is delicious. You can even get a three-course meal for one low price. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice. We've also had good experiences with the servers. If you're visiting Troy, this is a good place to check out. If you live in Troy, hopefully you've already checked it out!

We dined in on Christmas Eve Day and we’re so glad they were open. Food and service was excellent. The only little thing was that the host seated a couple at a table which was so close to ours i could barely get out. There were plenty of empty tables.

Delectable lunch options. The turkey with brie, avocado and more is amazing...2 thumbs up!
Tea is their thing, so Chai or blend or simple breakfast - they've got you covered. Refreshing and tasty. Lastly, try the berry scones...I promise it will be one of the best - at least of the best we've tried!
Special thanks to our server, AJ, for the superb recommendations.
A must try!

Best teas you can ever have. They’ve more than 100s of it! Paninis were good. Try their quiche too! A must visit place in Troy downtown I can say.

First time coming here. Our server, AJ, was spectacular and kind. Ordered the ratatouille and goat cheese panini with a side of the roasted red pepper soup. It was all so delicious. A little pricey but, worth the service and food. And their chai latte was divine. Would come back just for the server.

Very cool brunch place. Brunch towers let you mix and match all sorts of items from the menu.
