    The experience overall was amazing! Carter gave so much insight into the teas and layout of the bites. The ambiance was on a level as well. I have been to afternoon tea in a lot of places and this was a special one no doubt.

    Our adventure to The Littlest Tea Room was amazing! We enjoyed the Exclusive Littlest Tea which included delicious savory and sweet treats - the lemon custard was phenomenal - along with 2 pots of tea. We had the Ghost Garden and Amber Grove. Both were so yummy in their own ways. Highly recommend enjoying all they have to offer and going the Exclusive Littlest Tea experience. You also get a cute glass of bubbly to top it off! Carter was a delight as he brought us our treats. He was very knowledgeable on all of the teas, best options for what we were looking for, and overall a great soul! When we had about 30 minutes left, he gently came over to let us know so we were prepared as our time was coming to a close. There has been so much thought put in to how they interact with guests and it shows! The space is small and cozy with tables, chairs and couches. While we were there, 2 separate groups were there too. While it's quiet and cozy, we were so wrapped up in our fun, we hardly noticed the others. We had a bit of a panic getting there due to noticing that our reservation was made for a Monday, but their website and social media stated they were closed on Mondays. After a quick email, Ashleigh ensured us that they were open for our reservation and we were welcome to come in! It was so nice to see that although the booking allowed for us to book on a closed date, they honored our reservations and were so kind about it. Definitely a delightful experience! If you're hesistant, book the reservation!! You will not be disappointed!

    My friends and I had a wonderful time at the tea room! We went with the Exclusion Littlest Tea option and it did not disappoint. There were two other small groups there but everyone kept their conversations relatively quiet and we didn’t disrupt one another. I would definitely go back!

    This tea room is so quaint and cozy. Its the perfect place for a relaxing tea. It has all the good things we love about tea: cute cups and teapots, delicious tea to choose from, yummy bites, pleasant service and cozy atmosphere without all the pretention that you come across at some tea services. The tea choice is excellent. They even finish the brewing (remove the leaves) before it is delivered so it does not continue to steep. There are two choices for food. We got the smaller one and it was plenty. We got croissants, scones, danishes, some dips and crackers and a couple of sweet treats. Plenty for tea and the larger portion comes with traditional tea sandwiches as well. Service was amazing. Love this place and will go back often. Oh and did I mention you enter through a secret door in the bookcase in their coffee shop. So fun. Truly enjoyed it.
