Located in the West Village neighborhood, Paquita is a cozy teahouse that offers a perfect escape from the busy city streets.

Owned by the adventurous Mariquit Ingalla, it is a spot loved by tea aficionados and those looking for a unique, cozy, and intimate atmosphere.

Mariquit has shared that the name of the tea shop, Paquita, was inspired by her grandmother's nickname, which adds an endearing and sentimental touch to the teahouse.

As an American-born Taiwanese, I grew up drinking a lot of tea, and I love that Paquita offers an assortment of tea leaves from all around the world. The teahouse is cute and reminds me of similar places I've visited in Taiwan but with a European-vintage touch.

The vintage-inspired decor creates a warm and inviting ambiance. The shelves are lined with an eclectic collection of trinkets and home decor items sourced from Mariquit's travels.

The interior is dimly lit with two small tables and four chairs by the window.

The indoor area is small and intimate, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quick tea drink with pastries as an afternoon snack.

There’s also an outdoor seating area that’s more spacious and cozy in the front.
