My husband and I had high tea at Bella's Tea Room on May 25 to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We are anglophiles, and Bella's did not disappoint! A life-size photo of Prince Harry is on the outer door of the restroom! I chose a fancy blue summer hat to wear from their selection of delightful headgear. The food was delicious and plentiful--we began with salads with honey-mustard dressing and our choices of tea in colorful ceramic teapots. I drank iced decaf apricot black tea, and Michael had hot Earl Grey. Next was a scrumptious butterscotch scone with clotted cream and lemon curd. Then the beautiful tiered cake tray arrived! On the lowest level were the sandwiches--egg salad, ham, cucumber/cream cheese, and tuna. The middle level had amazing raspberry macarons, creampuffs filled with whipped cream and dusted with confectionary sugar, and chocolate cake balls covered with a delicate pink icing. The top level was graced with fresh strawberries and orange slices, plus rich strawberry mini cheesecakes! We ate almost all of our celebratory "lunch"; it was so much food that we took a cake ball, a scone, and a cheesecake home with us. Throughout, the service was attentive and friendly. This is the best tearoom I have ever been to. We can't wait to return for our 11th anniversary, if not sooner : ) Thank you, Bella's!

The staff is very friendly and the food is awesome. The homemade butterscotch scones were the best I ever had. When it came to the tea, I asked them to surprise me and both of the choices they picked for me were amazing. I highly recommend.

100% coming back, when you walk in there’s a smell of the scones and the food is good, I had to take a box I was so stuffed

As a 28 year-old man who came here alone, this was a wonderful, adorable, delicious experience. The tea was great, the scone was warm and gigantic. The sandwiches left a little to be desired, to be fair. They were all slathered in mayo, which isn't my favorite.

My mother in law and I tried this place for the first time, and it was wonderful. Our service was fantastic and the food was great. The decor of the place is just adorable. It's the perfect spot for an afternoon tea

I've never had a tea experience quite like Bella's. Absolutely off the charts scones, clotted cream and lemon curd and their strawberry herbal tea is all I want to drink now. This place hits all the right notes. I'll be back.

Fantastic service - you get a lot for your buck! The decor is very fitting for a fun time for parents & children alike. The waitress was very sweet & polite. The teas were delightful & the food was all very fresh and tasty.
We visited Bella's for my daughter's 10th birthday. They gave her a special little cupcake and lit a candle for her. Our server, Pam, was sweet, attentive, and helpful. She offered to take our group photo at our table for us. They also allowed us to play dress up with their hats and gloves that are on display. My daughter loved the whole experience.

This little tea house is so cute and fun! We visited from out of town for my daughter's fifth birthday. They were so kind and accommodating of my young family (5, 3, and 3 months). The strawberry herbal tea was sweet and delicious, my young kids loved the lemonade that came with the kids tea. My husband and I had high tea and especially loved the tea sandwiches and the hot-out-of-the-oven butterscotch scone was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!I loved the variety of teapots and cups they had and it felt both fancy and homey at the same time. The server was so lovely and kind! Great experience!

Far above our expectations. Perhaps the nicest tearoom in Maryland. Ample free parking in front or in the rear. The food was more than ample, much larger than typical finger foods. From the relax ambience to the conclusion of our desserts, we were very pleased and will return with some of our grandchildren.
Parking: Free on street or inbackparking lot witha short uphill stroll.
