Special Effects Salon & Spa in Greenport, NY

I went here today for my birthday. It had to be the sweetest little place. The afternoon tea finger sandwiches and scones are so delicious. The owner's daughter waited on us and she was so wonderful. Loved all the miss matched tea cups. Tea of course was delicious. After we looked around the little boutique. Had to say it was a fantastic day.

My friends and I had such a wonderful afternoon doing tea time at Special Effects! Each tea set was unique and so special, we loved admiring everyone's different designs. We got 2 of the treat towers for our group of 8 and loved every one of the treats. The savory sandwiches, scones, and various cookies were delicious, and we got to try different flavors of hot and iced teas! We also loved the rosemary infused water. Keep an eye out for Leo, the salon "guard dog", super cute fella. If you're looking for a relaxing afternoon in a cute outdoor garden, this is your spot!

Recently came here on my visit to the north fork, I made a reservation prior & arrived earlier than my resy time & they had no problem seating us earlier. Super small & cozy tea area with about 4-5 tables. I wasn't aware that it was also a salon & spa as it looks like a house/bed&breakfast from the outside. Our waitress was super nice & accommodating especially since I had my babies with me & she was super nice & attentive to my 3 year old daughter. Being that I am a fan of Rose flavored anything I came for the rose latte which was amazing but unfortunately they ran out of rose extract & I wasn't able to order more or try anything else that was rose flavored. Super disappointing. My daughter had the lavender lemonade which good not too sweet & refreshing. We ended up getting 1 of each of the afternoon teas (simple & classic) as you have to order 1 per person. (Standard afternoon tea rule). The cucumber sandwiches were good as I never eat them but these were tasty. My daughter even enjoyed them. I ended tea with a Chatty Cathy which was soooo good & ordered some macarons for my daughter which were additional. Definitely recommend! 10/10.

This review is for the Speal*Tea* side of the salon. I brought my mom here on our day trip and I am so glad we chose this spot for their tea service. This whole establishment is super cute, I didn't know about their other services until I got there but I will definitely come back here to check them out in the future. The host/waitress was incredibly warm, welcoming and friendly! This place was beautiful, and I loved the attention to details that went into the whole place- from the decor to the tea sets, cups, utensils etc... My mom and I loved the entire tea service- from the tes, to the sandwiches and the delicious desserts. It's a bit of a small spot so I suggest making a reservation to be safe. I think this would be a great spot in the summer as well, they had a very cute outdoor area set up as well. I will definitely be coming back here, they are located right on the Main Street- perfect to start of end your day with!

I highly recommend the tea. A relative and I came to the tea shop on a fall Sunday. The shop was somewhat busy. There was only one server. They were amazing. Explained what to expect from the different menu options. Very patient. Accommodated my food allergies with alternative menu items where possible without being asked. The food was delicious, especially the chicken salad sandwiches and scones (both savory and sweet). The tea selection was good. The decor is so charming and soothing. Even though there was a large gathering at the next table, we were not crowded or drowned out. I can't wait to go again!
