“A wonderful tea experience ❤️“

“I visited the tea shop while visiting family nearby to check out their selection of oolong teas from Taiwan. The staff helped me pick out a few choices. I was blown away by a couple of the teas and was surprised when I looked back at my receipt. Very fair prices for the level of tea. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious and diverse, the attention and care put into the production and selection of each tea is evident in every sip! Love!“

“When our daughter told us she wanted a tea party themed wedding reception, we knew we had a special vision to bring to life. We needed to find a local venue and a caterer who could create the right setting and atmosphere. As we toured different places, our search led us to Muzzey Street. The moment we stepped inside The Vintage Tea and Cake Company, we felt like we had stepped into the past. With its old fashioned charm and lovely details, we knew right away that we had found the perfect place for the tea party reception our daughter had imagined.

Some places are lovely for an afternoon tea. Others become part of a family memory. The Vintage Tea and Cake Company in Lexington, Massachusetts, is the kind of place that does both.

The reception, from start to finish, was a wonderful experience. A special thank you goes to Blair, whose hosting was simply outstanding. She was warm, welcoming, and attentive. She made the entire experience feel easy and relaxed. She helped create the kind of atmosphere where our guests could settle in, enjoy themselves, and focus on celebrating the happy couple.

The setting, with its lace, beautiful porcelain, and old fashioned charm, felt like a step back in time. What made it even more special was watching our guests as they walked in. We could see the recognition on their faces as the room brought back memories of childhood days when things felt a little more magical. It was as if each person had stepped into a memory of their own. Seeing those smiles and watching those memories come alive was exactly the feeling we had hoped for.

The selection of treats from both the traditional and gluten free menus was impressive. The truffles, tarts, scones with clotted cream and jam, and macarons were beautiful and delicious. The savory choices were just as memorable, especially the chicken salad, salmon, and goat cheese with fig. There was something for everyone, and the gluten free offerings were every bit as special as the traditional selections. Blair was also very accommodating when we asked for extra servings of our favorite sandwiches.

The special tea blends added another wonderful part to the experience. Our guests chose Buckingham, Orange Cinnamon, and Lemon Tangers. Each tea had its own wonderful flavor and personality. We learned that Adel mixes her own tea blends, which helped explain why the tea felt like more than just a drink. It became part of the celebration. Blair kept our porcelain pots filled with perfectly steeped tea. The tea was so good that several guests asked about buying Adel’s special blends to enjoy at home.

What stood out most was how beautifully everything came together. The sunny venue, delicious food, special tea blends, attentive service, and relaxed pace made the afternoon feel just right. It was intimate and festive without ever feeling overdone.

The Vintage Tea and Cake Company gave our family a beautiful place to celebrate an important milestone, and we are grateful for the memories we made there. If you are looking for a unique place for a memorable afternoon tea, this is a place worth discovering.

Five stars from our family, along with a heartfelt thank you to Adel, Blair and their team for helping make our daughter’s wedding reception such a wonderful day.“

“Everything was great staff was helpful and nice. We had an air conditioner problem they upgraded us to another room. Helpful on check out with complementary coffee and water.“

“We used Vintage Tea & Cake for my bridal shower. The set up was beautiful and the food was delicious! Our server was also extremely helpful and friendly.

The only problem was that I asked for gluten free settings for my celiac guests and that was not delivered by the team, so some of my guests were unable to enjoy the tea party or eat anything. Celiac is a serious allergy. We did not receive an apology or any consolation for this mistake, which was a bit frustrating honestly.“
