About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Lively

Dolly's café is named after the Dolly Sisters, a pair of glamorous identical twins who entertained audiences in the 1920s alongside our founder Harry Gordon Selfridges – with their enchanting performances.

Our art deco-inspired café, located at the heart of the store, is the perfect place to enjoy the great British tradition of afternoon tea.

Treat someone special or yourself to our exquisite range of teas, coffees, pastries and sandwiches as well as our stunning Champagne Afternoon Tea.

Disappointing. Menu on OpenTable showed a limited afternoon tea for £20.50. In reality, prices start at £49. We opted for tea and two scones for £14.95. The scones were terrible. The consistency was rubbery; unlike any scone I’ve ever eaten. They would have better from M&S where the scones are delicious. However, the venue is lovely and the service was excellent.

The food was lovely. The seating area is in quite a noisy area surrounded by shoppers so not very relaxing. The service was not very friendly or personal but we were seated promptly.

Very disappointed. Scones were stale and informed 2 different staff of this. There was no apology or replacement. Dolly’s is just a cafe in the middle of a store.

Sandwich bread was hard , scones more like a sponge cake and you only get 1 sweet treat which was a cake which didn’t have much flavour to them , looked nicer than what they tasted, poor value for the price, won’t be a second visit

lovely afternoon tea. Food was great and the service /staff were amazing. It is a bit of a strange location in the middle of the basement shop floor and feels a bit cramped and noisy. The afternoon tea is enough for two people so better value for money than it looks on the menu.. we booked in advance which is probably a good idea unless you are just dropping by as there was a queue for a table.

Very enjoyable experience. I’m very pleased we booked and we were taken straight to our table. Service was prompt and pleasant, our Afternoon Tea was well presented and very tasty, the ambience was excellent by being a little oasis in the middle of a busy and bustling department store
