Tisane Pharmacy & Cafe
It was a place to meet friends, make new ones and relax. Over the years this coziness was long gone. Pharmacies became replicas of huge department stores selling everything from cereals to light bulbs. Health care items became a very small portion of their inventory. We want the pharmacy to become a neighborhood place all over again.

Place where you can walk in with questions and receive an advice from knowledgeable staff on anything from prescription or over-the-counter medications, homeopathic or herbal remedies to weight lost or other diet supplements. You can also enjoy a cup of tea or coffee (check the menu page for our great selection) or treat yourself with our tasty pastries from Balthazar bakery, Salt of the Earth brownies as well as other pastries.
Services
We are a one-stop destination for all your prescription and compounding medications, homeopathic and herbal remedies. We accept all major insurance plans including Express Scripts and Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield. Our professional and knowledgeable staff is dedicated to providing patients with prompt and reliable health care services.
Our innovative scientific solutions embrace a host of medical and quality of life issues, such as anti-aging and integrative medicine; pain management; holistic health; dermatology, and health wellness. Nasal sprays, throat lozenges, antibiotic/antifungal preparations for Sheehy-House insufflator. Bio-identical hormone replacement preparations (Biest losenges, oral drops, capsules, etc.)
Tisane offers free blister packaging to patients who wish to have their prescriptions filled in easy-to-use weekly or monthly cards. Getting setup with Blister Packaging is easy! Just give us a call at 212-517-0037 and our pharmacists will take your information to get you set up, or you can fax or email your information to us at 212-517-0039 // info@tisanepharmacy.com.
NEW YORK (PIX11) - According to the CDC, flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. between December and February. However, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May, according to the CDC. The New York City Health Department says while there is no shortage of flu vaccines here in the city, the Department can confirm a delay with some manufacturers.

Strongly would not recommend shopping here. They were heavily and knowingly price gauging At-home Covid tests right before the holidays when there was a shortage in NYC. A test is $15-23 and they were charging $65! Not only is it morally corrupt, according to section 396-r of the New York general business law, it is illegal. Myself and many others have and will befiling official complaints to the Attorney Generals office as they request any instances of covid 19 test price gauging be reported.

Tisane Pharmacy and Cafe is listed in a book about little known hidden Gems. It sure is a hidden gem. I accidentally came across it so I had to stop in to see the cafe. It's really cute but the tables in front were taken. When I walked to the back I saw the old fashioned counter with stools. The nice man behind the counter said he would make a space for me to have a coffee. I pulled up a stool, he verified my vaccination, and he brewed a decaf for me. It's really tasty coffee. And very reasonably priced at $2.25 for a small. I asked the brand and although they don't sell coffee he

I am so happy to go at Tisane and support this great local business.

Julia is a wonderful pharmacist, I highly recommend going to her to receive any and all medications. She is very compassionate and always treats me with the most respect. I have been going to this pharmacy for a while now and she is the only one I trust to handle my prescriptions due to my medical conditions. She goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of and that you can receive your medications on time. If you have any questions she helps to answer them to her best ability. Unfortunately I am unable to give this pharmacy five stars because one of the other pharmacist on staff is

I stumbled onto this gem cafe by mistake. When I looked inside, I was like, "WHAT THE F88K!!!" this weirdly situated tea and cafe shop with it's super clean coffee and expresso machine, it's aroma mist, it's Italian style machiato and italian sodas; has the warmth of hugs and kisses from grandmom.
I made it my second home. .

When my dear friend ask if i could visit this pharmacy cause they carry a herbal soap she loves and they have it in stock i said sure but she did not mention that they also have a counter section that serves coffee, tea, soda and other types of beverages and some snacks to munch on .i visited before the coronavirus madness and was able to walk around and besides being a fully operating pharmacy they carry bath , beauty , health, and a bunch of other unique goods that cvs, walgreens do not carry . still browsing around with the soap i needed to pick up and some lime scented deodorant that i think

Just had the worst experience with one of the owners. They really give small business a bad name and are part of the problem of why small businesses are struggling today. I really wanted to support this place, but they truly have let me and the community down.

I just had a beyond horrible experience with one of the pharmacists at Tisane, so I'd like to warn current and future customers of this behavior. I had a prescription that needed to be filled early because of a work trip, which they happily took care of. The cost of the prescription seemed high, so I later used a "price your medication tool" offered by my insurance to see what their estimate was for my medication and the quote I received, without insurance, was much lower than what Tisane had charged me. So, I called the pharmacy to simply ask why this was the case and instead of attempting to

I rate this Pharmacy, zero, you ask a question and one of the ladies got nasty for no reason unacceptable. Two ladies that work there is very disrespectful, attitude is horrible, they should be shut down. Will never do business there again.

Tisane pharmacy is by far the best pharmacy I've been to and I've had my share after 4 spinal surgeries. Julia & Veronica are very nice and helpful my experience there was flawless and positive. They also have great coffee and specialty drinks would definitely recommend.

When I realized my doctor hadn't sent over my prescription, the pharmacist called my doctor for me. She filled it the same day and it was $12 cheaper than what I was charged at another pharmacy. Then I enjoyed a great cup of italian soda! Can't beat that. I highly recommend going here.

This pharmacy is a true find.
One of the last neighborhood pharmacies on
the upper east side.
Great personal service no waiting no hassles.
The pharmacy dept will go above and beyond
to make sure you have everything you
need on time and without waiting on a line.
They are always there to give you counseling on
your prescriptions and over the counter meds.
Fabulous selection of holistic medicine.
They have an amazing counter to have tea
Coffee etc
Amazing beauty products, soaps and more.
Love this place.

All around superior store. I cannot tell you how refreshing this store and its pharmacy was to deal with. They were police, extremely quick, followed up and ensured I was satisfied. Cannot say enough good things.
Like night and day from CVS or Walgreens/Duane Reed.

AMAZING. Seriously, Tisane is the definition of independent neighborhood shop, still going strong. This is a review for the cafe that sits proudly at the entrance of the pharmacy.

It was pouring outside today, and I was tired from a long commute. Tisane was just what I needed to lift my spirits.

Charles, the manager, is so friendly and remembers your name. He's helpful and very knowledgeable- he has years of experience backing his skills, and he has some amazing ideas up his sleeve to up the ante for this coffee shop. PLUS, his latte art is stunning- make a request and challenge him! Stay

I'm QUIRKY. This place is Quirky. Therefore I love this place!

It is a cafe in the front, a place that sells European soaps and lotions on the side, and a pharmacy in the back.

This place kind of reminded me of a place in North Italy that sold cooking utensils in the front of the shop. But if you wandered to the back, you found that they also sold high-quality lace lingerie -- none of which was advertised in the window. Almost like it was a secret. Well, I was equally (but pleasantly) confused when I was in Tisane!

The staff here are very friendly and helpful. One day I was on a
