    This is my third time doing a high tea at Elixir and each experience has been exceptional! The decor is unique and welcoming which provides an ideal time to slow down and enjoy the company of others. I can’t wait to return again soon…I’m so lucky to be so close! It’s the perfect spot for a girls group to reconnect or celebrate a special occasion.

    Wonderful Romantic High tea at Elixir Tea House. We were sat in a private room with comfortable banquettes a vase with a dozen red roses was on our table. The finger sandwiches were very good and the sweet petit fours and mini pastries were delicious. The scones could have been a little better and served with clotted cream instead of butter. The unlimited tea was excellent. We got to try a few different types of teas, expertly brewed. The service was top shelf.

    Such a wonderful experience. This family run business is top notch. The food was delicious with many many selections of teas. The ambience is special as well. A great way to celebrate our friend’s special birthday.

    They were particularly generous with the tea, continuing to encourage us to try more. Our group of 4 went through about 19 pots of tea, and they were still encouraging us to try more. Quality was good too. The food was also good. They made some accommodations for the gluten free member of our group, even though I'd forgotten to give them notice up front. Overall we were very impressed and happy. The only issue was that I'd first made an OpenTable reservation 2 weeks prior and they called me the morning after I made it to tell me they were already full (this was around Christmas time). There was no issue honoring the 2nd reservation weeks later.

    If you like high tea, or if you've never had and want to try it, you owe it to yourself to make a reservation for one of the adorable tea rooms at Elixir and treat yourself. I have lived in the area for nearly 4 years and just found this gem. When I arrived, I was surprised to see the wonderful selection of pastries and finger sandwiches awaiting me, and it was difficult to chose from the large selection of teas - but fortunately, the tea is unlimited so I was able to try quite a variety. They also cater to special dietary requests, and the service was just lovely. This is a must go and I plan to return very soon.
