I’ve never been to a “high tea” service and wanted to try it out. After initially making my reservation for the wrong date, I emailed the company and they were polite, and were able to reschedule. Our server Pretty was so welcoming and friendly and described the 2 “holiday” tea selections. We loved both and were able to get a refill of each. We had savory foods such as quiche, cucumber sandwiches and a really delicious pimento cheese sandwich, and a variety of baked goods like scones with cream, cookies, brownies, mini muffins and fresh fruit. Whether or not these items are baked fresh in house, I don’t know, but we loved everything and not a bite was left! Pretty explained that they are currently only open for weekend reservations, but I hope they are successful and end up being open for walk-ins some week days. While you might want to find a fancier place for a truly special occasion (at triple the cost) I thought the $29 price per person was perfect for a lovely experience.

Not all that bad, however for the price ($29 per person) I was a little disappointed in the quality. You no longer get to choose your tea, all guests get the same tea of the day. We were also given just oat milk for a cream for our tea. Some of the pastries were a bit dry and they don't seem to be made in house, more grocery store bakery style. The tea host was pleasant and kind though.

Great tea experience! My husband and I went to grab some tea & scones (thinking they had a walk up counter type option) but found out when we got there that they only take reservations on weekends for high tea. They were able to squeeze us in last minute for the high tea service, so we were pleasantly surprised to be able to sit down and get the whole experience they offer. Pretty and Gin were the ladies that served us & went above and beyond to take care of us! It was great!! They served us quiche, 2 different kinds of sandwiches, scones, clotted cream (more like a whipped cream or Devonshire cream than a traditional clotted cream), fruit & an assortment of pastries. They also served us 2 different kinds of teas. Everything was delicious! The space itself is very cozy and has a great vibe. I highly recommend to anyone who’s wanting a great tea experience:)

We had a wonderful time, and the staff was very kind. The tables were already set up when we arrived with our reservation name. They offered two teas - one black and one green. The scones and sandwiches were very good!! The cookies and cupcakes were extremely sweet, but the brownies were great. Overall, it was really good for the price! The only thing I would add would be the tiny spoons for stirring in cream & honey. They do provide honey if you ask for it. It seems like they have worked hard to make improvements based on past reviews! I would recommend!

DO NOT BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS. This place was cheap and had delicious sandwiches, scones w clotted cream, tea, and victorian cake. The inside is such a cute and kitschy little tea house. It was hard to find because there wasn't any signage out, but it's inside through the bakery doors. There were walls full of books and umbrella decor on the ceiling; it really set the mood. The teacups/plates were also adorable- felt like going to grandma's house. I don't understand the low reviews cuz u can't get cheap afternoon tea anywhere and this spot was the perfect bang for a buck!
