   This was our first time coming and it was just an amazing experience with my daughters and sister. The staff were amazing and the food and tea were delicious. The atmosphere was so nice too. We would definitely come back.

   I was very excited to bring my mom and daughter to Lily’s and Elise the Sunday prior to Mother’s Day to celebrate! The inside is gorgeous and quaint. The house does not hold many people. We had made a reservation with the package that we would like a month before. We waited 40 minutes to receive our tea, and an hour to receive our food after ordering. There were five staff working, but they acted unorganized and not prepared for the amount of people at the tea house. We finally after being there almost two hours, asked for our last tea to go. We were ready to leave. Will not return.

   As soon as I stepped inside I was drawn to the beautiful decor. The huge tree in the middle of the space is a great addition. I made reservations for my sister’s bday and the waitress verified whose bday it was to bring her a special tea cup. My party of 3 selected the petite high tea. Reservations require prepayment which included 20% gratuity. The staff was very friendly, and explained the menu well. We selected our 2 pots of tea and 2 sandwiches. The guava strawberry tea was delicious. The blue oolong was just ok, it tasted like black tea with food coloring. I don’t like that the entire party has to get the same sandwiches. Based on the time it takes for the items to be served it seems that they are made fresh for each table. This should allow for each person to make separate selections. After we completed our tea service no one came to close out our experience. Yes, we paid upfront for everything but I had to go find someone to ensure we were all set. Having a server come by and provide some type of final reminder that no payment is needed unless we want to make additional purchases would have been a great way to wrap up the experience. Overall, the experience is cute and provides great photo opportunities.

    This is such a cute and lovely gem in the neighborhood! We had the high tea service - the pear salad and potato leek soup and three different teas were excellent. The sandwiches and sweets were served after the meal on tiered trays and such beautiful presentation. The staff came by often to check in along with the owner, and everyone was very attentive.
