A surprisingly lovely intimate tea! This tiny space is well run and peaceful for a high tea experience. The location is Beacon Hill adjacent, so is right in the heart of Boston. We were not rushed and had a long relaxing tea.

OMG, I just had the BEST time at the cutest gluten-free tea house with my bestie! 🍵💕 The service was top-notch, our server was so attentive and knowledgeable about all the gf options. And the food? TO DIE FOR! I mean, I've had some gluten-free stuff in my day, but this was NEXT LEVEL. Highly recommend if you're in the area (or just in the mood for amazing tea and eats)! 💖👌

A great way to spend an afternoon. We had the vegetarian tea and it was delicious and very tasty. I highly recommend it.
Jessica
A wonderful stop for an afternoon tea and wonderful food. Very knowledgeable about food allergies and willing to accommodate them!
Jorge
Wonderful experience they were able to accommodate my girlfriend's allergies and help us celebrate her birthday. Thank you so much.

Amazing gluten free food and desserts!! So happy to have this experience available to celiacs :)

The food at Silver Dove has impressed me twice now. Their service is impeccable, the tea is lovely, the cocktails are tasty, and the menu feels creative by adding little pops of flavor or additions to afternoon tea staples. I only wish they had more space! Small but cozy afternoon tea service is one of my absolute favorites in the area.

My husband and I had the Fall 2025 Dove's Flight menu. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Sencha tea and my husband ordered the white tea. The Sencha was very earthy but delicate. Amazing service and ambience.

Blown away by this place! Called up last minute as we wanted a cup of tea and they accommodated us within 10 minutes.
Everything is gluten free and they have a whole vegan and dairy free menu. They were unbelievably accommodating and allowed us to add extra cucumber sandwiches for $3 each.
The tea selection is vast and staff so attentive- we had the most amazing and delicious meal and can’t recommend here enough! The vegan afternoon was delicious and the fact I could eat here and my dairy free and gluten free mum is such a win! Also they offer decaf English breakfast tea!

My daughter’s baby shower was delightful. The tea was delicious. The food was both interesting and delightful— savory and sweet items were plentiful. The waitstaff kept close attention to each guest. We couldn’t have had a nicer high tea.

Love Love Loved it! We have been gluten free for more than 2 decades (celiac) and have seen the evolution of GF baking. Some of the reviews worried me but I am so glad I went and judged for myself. The food was delicious, great attention to a wide variety of flavors and herbs, the service was wonderful as well. Able to accommodate vegetarian and vegan lifestyles as well. Yes, they did not have tablecloths, did I care? No. The silverware, tea service items, and plating were elegant and minimalist ….a choice that is just as nice but different than porcelain or china and frills. They gave us a table that would accommodate a wheelchair and table hooks for our purses. We all left very happy and full 😊 will definitely come back as their seasonal menu changes.

Experiencing afternoon tea at Silver Dove was truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the ambience set a perfect tone, elegant, calm, and welcoming. The selection of teas was outstanding, and each course of food was carefully prepared, fresh, and absolutely delicious. It felt more than just an afternoon tea; it was an experience to remember, one that made our time in Boston even more special. If you are in the city, this is something not to be missed. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely spot for early dinner. Quiet inside so it's great for conversation and catching up. Everything was perfect, the food, the tea, the staff. The space is beautiful and the custom teapot sets are really cute. My favorites were the coronation chicken, the sweet corn panna cotta, and the chocolate pavlova.
