    We enjoyed dressing up and sharing this delicious tea as an early Mother's Day celebration. The Owner/Chef was so gracious and accommodating. We tried many different teas and ended up buying some to take home. The explanation of clotted cream was interesting, and even though I am lactose intolerant (I took some pills), I tried it! It was a very cool culinary experience. The quiche was so yummy, I ate the entire piece. The sandwiches were varied, and you also got scones and FABULOUS desserts! We had the Queen's tea. We were given to-go bags as well to enjoy our leftovers at home again. Friendly and fun, with a quaint decor, a choice of inside or outside. My only observation of a critique is that it is in a strip mall setting, but once inside, you won't notice it much as you treat yourself to a special experience!

    We had the best time celebrating my mom’s birthday. The food was excellent, I loved the obstinate girl tea and the service was excellent.

    First time here. We got the queen’s tea service. Started with bubbles and a slice of quiche. Can’t go wrong there. Both teas we had after that were great. Paired one with the sandwiches and one with the desserts that were also upgraded with the queen’s tea package. Doesn’t seem like a lot of food, but trust me, you will be full after! Great experience even if you only do it once. Would love to go back and see what the menu is like around Christmas.

    The services was great and friendly. Food and tea was very good. We were late for our seating but they never rushed us or skimped on anything. Would go again
