Had a lovely time with my 5 year old granddaughter. Scones were especially good. Service very friendly. Loved it!

My 8 year old daughter and I just had afternoon tea here today. What a lovely experience. The scones were delicious and they put apple juice in my daughter's teapot because she doesn't care for tea, which she loved. The waitress was so nice and also good with my daughter. We will definitely be going back!

So charming. A lovely selection of all things tea related, plus so much more. Delicious food in the tea room. Warm and friendly service. ❤️

Came here for a cream tea to enjoy my home comforts. Unfortunately a very depressing experience, the clotted cream is not clotted cream, tastes like fake whipped cream. Scones were good though!

What a fantastic shop! All kinds of wonderful British things. And absolutely wonderful bangers. It's very hard not to love this place

Stopped in here, on a whim. Looking for a spot of tea before a spring training baseball hame in Sarasota, and were so pleasantly surprised. My wife opted for a 'cream tea' and I had a small pot of Assam, with a cheese and tomato on baguette. Service and ambiance was so nice. It's in kind of funky strip mall, but don't be put off by that.

Well deserved 4 stars for a very nice afternoon tea. Very nice, very clean and not over the top "foo-foo" as some tea rooms are. The owner and our server were very welcoming and friendly, a nice change from some of the "pretentious" folks who we've experienced in the past. Our high tea choices and tea were delicious. The scones are a major highlight, absolutely outstanding. 2 minor notes that kept us from 5 stars was that the sandwich fillings were a bit too small, and the pavlova merengue was store bought and not homemade. Wish we had a tea shop like this near our home, we'd be frequent guests.

Wonderful little shop and cafe for authentic British food. Get a reservation for tea, you won't regret it!

Beautiful tea room, the front shop has shown its age. The food and tea is authentic.

Love this place and the new owners are wonderful and friendly. They plan on making changes as money permits. I would love to see the eating area more frou-frou with small chandelier's, chintz cushions and flowered wallpaper etc. It is somewhat dark and uninviting. The food is great, maybe a small amount more filling in the sandwiches. A really wonderful selection of teas and a future plan for wine, beer and champagne coupes. Go often and help support this small local business! Carole K

I actually went there to pick up tickets for the Celtic Festival and everybody they were just so nice and helpful and I had questions about other things and they were very knowledgeable.
