    I would recommend the afternoon tea to anyone! I had the Christmas themed tea and it was so adorable and cute! The food was a good mixture of sweet and savory. I loved the tea. The staff is also so lovely and kind as well as accommodating and that really makes the whole experience worthwhile. It's a small place and to get to the restroom you need a staff member to walk you through the kitchen to the back. While I don't mind that at all I felt like I was disrupting the baking process while walking through and kind of felt bad having to use it. Restroom is clean! Pastries are delicious! Price for the tea was 52$/person which is low to mid level pricing but I thought it was well worth it. Decor was on the simple and sweet side. If there was more decor/design to the space it would have been even more perfect but I was totally happy with everything I got! Really cute idea for a simple meeting with friends! Love love love so do it!
