About Alimama Tea
We've always wanted to create Alimama, a little haven for us to steal a moment from the day, to relax and even find a spark of joy.
We find beauty in simplicity, comfort in the communal experience. Our space and offerings are all deeply rooted in the familiar as we seek to share our memories with you, and hopefully create new ones with you in the process.
Located at 89A Bayard St, New York, NY 10013, Alimama Tea operates as a cafe serving New York in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under bakery, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.
This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–8:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (212) 235-7288. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, orderalimama.com.

New York is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in New York peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

One of my favorite dessert spot in Chinatown! I came back to try their new brulee cream puffs and loved how crispy they were on the outside and creamy inside. I was also surprised by how much I loved their drinks, the Lychee Rosé was so refreshing and ended up being one of my favorites. Their taro munchikin was also SO good, soft and chewy with the perfect amount of sweetness👌🫶

Absolutely loved the mochi donuts here! They were so good that we ended up coming back a second time during our stay in New York. The texture was perfect—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite was definitely the Onyx donut. It had an amazing flavor combination and stood out from the rest. Every donut we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. It’s easy to see why this place is so popular. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick even when there was a line. If you're a fan of mochi donuts or just looking for a unique treat in New York, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be stopping by again the next time we're in the city!

The flavor choices for the mochi donuts are great, but the texture was a bit of a letdown—they were quite hard. The sesame mochi tasted a bit off. I’m wondering if they’re best enjoyed fresh in the morning, as the dough seemed to have toughened up by the time I arrived.

Alimama Tea and Dessert shop is my new favorite stop by chinatown! I ordered the white peach sencha iced tea $6.25, it was beautiful with rosebud tips and gold leaf on top- it also was delicious! The perfect level of sweetness- not too sweet just right. The pastries all look divine, I will certainly be back to try the mochi donuts and cream puffs. There were really cute stickers all over and the cashier even gave me a few free donut stickers!!! There are 5 stools and a counter, nice place to sit and enjoy your treat :)

I waited to try a mochi donut until I could get one from Alimama Tea because I heard they were really good. They’re also naturally gluten-free because mochi is derived from rice flour. If you’re used to a more conventional NY donut, this will take you by surprise in the best way: it’s chewy, not too sweet, and pairs well with the very aesthetic teas. I had the brûlée donut, which was delish but very gently flavored, and I think my NY instincts still wanted something a little sweeter—but that’s on me because I actually wanted the frosted strawberry mochi donut or the crumbly topped cereal donut, but I was trying to be sophisticated when I know I am not. Next time I’ll get a donut with a little something extra on the top and I think that will hit the perfect balance of sweetness for me!
