Meet the founder
With a lifelong love for fine things and a soul steeped in elegance, Shalaina Michelle Palma created Crown & Whiskers Tea Room as a heartfelt tribute to luxury, charm and meaningful connection. A Teaneck, NJ native, raised in a family rooted in hospitality and inspired by classic grandeur, she has always found joy in the little details that elevate everyday moments.
Shalaina's experience in hospitality, events and flight service, has allowed her to serve guests from the skies to the most elegant ballrooms always with grace and genuine warmth.
​
But Crown & Whiskers is more than a tea room...Its a legacy...inspired by her grandfather's iconic Harlem, NY businesses like
Willie's Burgers, The Rooftop Roller Skating Rink and many other establishments, Shalaina wants to continue the legacy of entrepreneurship.

The tea room is a dream come true. A place where whimsical elegance meets five-star hospitality, and every guest is treated like royalty.
