Crowning Glory Tea Room

We had the best time at Crowing Glory tea room for a special birthday party celebration. The service was incredible and options for tea were plentiful. The food was exceptional. We had the best time and all agreed would come back, not only for a special celebration, but just because to enjoy the atmosphere, great tea and food, and experience overall. Well worth the drive and would highly recommend.

The best place to have English High Tea in the East Valley. I have been taking my mother here for special events, for years. The decor is just so fun and the food is delicious. If you want to have a wonderful experience, give it a try.

No prices were listed anywhere - we just left. It was a long drive for nothing. Prices were not on the menu posted on the internet. I guess this place caters to rich people only.

This place is amazing. Their tea, sandwiches, deserts and everything are amazing. My favorite are the sugar grapes with the cream. It is really such a cute place inside. They do a great job with the decor. Everything is so cute. I love it here! Highly recommend.

This was absolutely perfect! I loved it here, the atmosphere was so lovely, the decor fit the vibe (it was decorated throughout, in fact the bathroom was even decorated), the food was yummy and homemade, and the tea was endless!

I went with my best friend and her mom, and we each tried a couple of the teas. We ended up mixing some of them together, just for science, and they all worked together SO well. We didn't have a single dud, even after mixing them, so I don't know if we just chose exceptionally well, or if each tea here is selected because it complements the other teas, but it was a win.

The sandwiches had a nice amount of filling (we could taste it!!), and we all loved every single one. I don't love cucumber sandwiches, so I went in with no expectations of that one, and it was absolutely by far the best cucumber sandwich I have ever had. I loved it. I don't know what they do differently, but it's something. There's an extra flavor to it that makes it come together in such an unexpected perfect way. And the croissant sandwich with the chicken filling is so good, but so curious, because there's an element of crunch on there that makes it so perfectly balanced, but I don't remember what she said the crunch is (it's almost like apple or water chestnut- really light, but really nice).

I should rewind... when we arrived we got to choose our fun hats and tea sets, which we all loved, that's a fun addition to tea. Then we sat at the perfectly dressed table, and chose our teas. We got our first round of endless tea, and ice waters, very soon afterward, followed by the tower of food. When it arrived, the owner took us through each item and explained what it was (xyz sandwich on rye, orange cake with xyz icing and sprinkles etc.) I really enjoyed that, because that's actually how it is in England, and it gives the service a personal touch that makes you feel like you're truly a guest here.

Oh, and the scones are actually scones, the cherry preserves had whole cherries, and tasted incredible, and the Devonshire cream was actually Devonshire cream.

10/10 absolutely will be back here, and would recommend it to anyone interested in tea. We sat in the main dining room, which is what we preferred, but there are also small parlors available (gorgeously decorated btw) for a more private/intimate tea.

Came here with my daughter for a little date! It was so cute. The service was fast and friendly, but very relaxed.
We enjoyed our time here.

The atmosphere is beautiful. That’s the main positive. Other than that, we were asked to change our reservation time to accommodate another party. When we got there it took a few minutes for anyone to greet us. We were taken to our tanker which was crammed into a room with as many tables as physically possible. Our waiter said they “ran out” of tea pots so we could only get one tea decided between my part of three. I asked if we could have a replenishment of a sandwich variety and was told both that they ran out and that they don’t do that. At other tea places I get refills of tea and sandies. But nothing was explained to us when we were sat either. We got very few check in’s and had to flag our waiters down for more tea. Then when we waited for a cream refill for 20 minutes we just got up and left. No body checked on us or checked us out. Sorry, we won’t be back. Don’t waste your money.

In his Crowning Glory Tea Room for a special place we could celebrate my sister’s 75th birthday. What a great decision! From the first moment we were enchanted by the bright welcome and whimsy . Sherry has absolutely transformed this space into a place of charm, attentive service, delicious food and delectable teas. We even got help taking pictures by the dear welcoming Stephanie ! I highly recommend planning a visit here …once you do - it won’t be your last!

We had a great birthday celebration and Peter made it even more fun and memorable. We will be back.

Amazing people, food, service and atmosphere. What a great concept. Excellent!

It was so nice having tea here. We rented a small room with full tea service for four and enjoyed getting all dressed up. The vibe was fancy, but calm. The owner(?) was so nice she even created a custom blend for my daughter, who asked for milk tea with strawberry. All of the teas and food were delectable! We will definitely be coming back.

This was a truly magical experience for me and my wife - we felt so welcome, cared for, and seen to! I can’t wait to come back with our daughter. I saw many kids come for tea and I just thought that was so cool, the layout and environment is welcoming to people of all ages… and it’s not intimidating at all - if it’s your first time having tea or your hundredth, this is the place to go.

Thank you and God bless! See ya soon.

My daughter and I love Jane Austen’s novels and always wanted to share a High Tea. I lived in London where I discovered Cream Tea, so our anticipation was high as we dressed up to experience Crowning Glory.
We were greeted like esteemed guests, and were captivated by the genteel beauty of the decor, the well-dressed ladies, and the soothing chamber music. I chose a wide brimmed hat to add to my ensemble, we each chose a teacup, and we were escorted to the lovely St Cecilia room, where we drew a curtain and enjoyed complete privacy.
Our unobtrusive waiter took our tea orders and we were delighted by the prompt delivery of our enchanting three tiered food assortment and fragrant teas. The sandwiches were delicious and the Cream Tea just rich as what I had in London.
We had difficulty finding room for the delightful pastries, but fueled by another cup of tea, we pressed on, leaving the delightful rosebud-topped brownies for last.
It was a delight to the senses, a delicious meal and a unique experience which we will cherish. I look forward to bringing my other two daughters to join us for another unique, exquisitely feminine occasion.
