Tea Elle C Garden Cafe

Plastic plates that cost 50cents at Walmart/target are used to serve customers here. Scratched up and getting microplastics into people’s food. Customer service is incredibly disappointing. Used the website to make a reservation almost a week in advance since no one answered the phone. Then I received one email with grammar errors, hardly coherent. But no confirmation my reservation was made after multiple emails/calls reaching out. When I got to the place on a slow day I had to wait 20 mins at my table JUST for a menu.The place is probably understaffed. Also, I was told by an employee that only the owner handles reservations. I was surprised to hear the owner did not care much about customer service.

Adorable! Good basic option if you've never had Afternoon Tea before. Service is not meticulous like you'd have at an authentic British tea, but it's a solid offering for the price. That being said, each 3-tiered stand comes with only one scone so my mother & I decided to each get our own Afternoon Tea order. My scone was yummy. It crumbled just right and the clotted cream was delicious. It didn't come with the customary jam though; maybe you need to ask for jam.. Tea was lovely, aromatic and kept nice and hot the whole time. Dishware is simple yet the cafe's interior decor is fairly ornate. It's a dainty English rose style although some fixtures, especially the chandeliers, looked a bit worn. The place could use a little sprucing up. We were previously going to have afternoon tea at a luxury hotel but I'm glad we opted for Tea Elle C instead.

Very sweet place. Service was good. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The food was very good, with lots of options. There are vegetarian and gluten free options but no vegan options.

A wonderful experience! Their tea menu features a wide variety of options, and is several pages long; their 2-cup pot option was great because it allowed us to try a few different teas, all of which were steeped perfectly. The scones were delicious, including the gluten-free scones I had.

Best tea place I’ve ever been in US so far! Great selection of tea and food. Cookies are awesome! Grilled chicken red pepper wrap delicious! I go with Yarba Matte tea

Me and my husband had an amazing experience. Teas were delicious, food top notch, cookies to die for! And great coffee. Beautiful music creates serene atmosphere and the garden is beautiful! Such a pleasant dining experience ❤️ Maria the owner is the sweetest person. Saw many regulars which is always a good thing. Thank you

Not exaggerating, this may be the worst restaurant I’ve been to in recent years. Was initially impressed with their wide selection of teas, but was immediately thrown off by the pricing. When the tea finally arrived, it was lukewarm AT BEST and noticeably under steeped. If the prices reflected a fun and creative “Victorian” atmosphere, I would be more understanding… BUT THIS WAS FAR FROM THAT. Our teacups were not the fun, cute china set one might imagine, but rather plain, sad, boring vessels for the depressing dishwater they held. After long deliberation, I decided to split the $17 BLT with a friend—a futile attempt at redemption. After no less than an eternity, we were finally served our meal…ON A PLASTIC, SCRATCHED, DISCOLORED, TARGET PLATE. If that weren’t tragic enough, the sandwich was comparable to the prepackaged, discounted abominations one might find on the final sale shelf at the gas station. The chalky bread was so dry I couldn’t help but check for mold, and the obviously bottled ranch was goopy and blobulent. Finally, our server announcing “we’re too young to know what we want anyway,” ringing up our orders overpriced, and calling me “the problem” for being unsure about which tea to succumb my self respect to, was truly the cherry on top of this heap of despair. I write this with the deepest regret, as I was truly elated to indulge in some tea party fun. Instead, I’m leaving wishing I had saved myself the time and dollar. A wonderful idea—pitiful execution.
P.S. We saw a rat.

Great breakfast and tea selection. Staff is very friendly and helpful

Honestly my all time favorite breakfast/brunch spot ever. Been going here for 8 years. I’ve never been to any other brunch restaurant that compared to my love with this place lol. Love all the selections of teas, love their food, and love their service!

Maria was absolutely great. She made our experience wonderful by being understanding and kind. I flew in from North Carolina to see my friend. We ended up getting a little lost, so we didn’t arrive until they were closing. Maria was so kind to allow us to stay and serve us after hours. The atmosphere was very serene and peaceful. Maria was very knowledgeable in different varieties of teas. The butterscotch scone was my favorite with the fruity tea! Thank you Maria for a lovely time.

Nice new experience for us. Tea was good, most of the food was very good. The French toast we requested ended up being a chocolate croissant
