I planned a special outing for tea service here for a small group of kids. The owner was very communicative via email helping me understand what to expect, and planning our food selection. The staff on hand were phenomenal. They made each of the kids, including the 3 and 4 year old, feel like an important patron. They were patient as the older kids figured out what was an option for them. I was worried we’d be an inconvenience as a group of kids, but they genuinely made us feel like they were delighted to have us. The food was delicious, the tea selection was good, and the tea good. The lattes we had were great. It was an incredible experience and new for all of us. I plan to return for a full adult tea service, and highly recommend this place if you have kids who want the tea party experience.

We did a tea party yesterday for my 4 year old daughter and her friend. The food was good, the service was not the best. Our waitress was new so she wasn’t sure about a lot of our questions- which was fine but she didn’t try to find out or help any further than saying she wasn’t sure. We were sat at a table right in the cafe room in the corner and there was a bridal party going on in the next room with the door opened. It felt like we were crashing their party. It all felt rushed and like we were in the way or something. It was also very expensive- so I was expecting a quite private experience and that is not what it was.

The renovated brick interior is cozy. The menu is on the creative chalkboard, and you place your order at the cashier. Your order is brought to you. My Mediterranean salad was fresh. My daughter had a little pot of tea and a sandwich. We split a cherry, chocolate chip scone. Yummy! We saw two moms, each at a table with their young daughters having tea and cookies. Perfect place for something special. There are also large tables for a group event. The vibe is friendly with good service. With plenty of small tables for working on your laptop or eating with a friend.

From the street, you would not know how beautiful and big this place in. The tea parties are an incredible way to make memories. My daughter and my mom had a tea time there a few years before my mom passed away, and it will always be a special memory for our family.

The owners are amazing and give back to the community. Get the chicken salad! It is fantastic.

Vegetarian options: Salads and caprese options!

I have FINALLY found a tea service that I can wholeheartedly say was wonderful! ☕️ I've been looking far and wide for cafes that served afternoon tea. Delicious food (I personally need the recipe for the sandwiches I had that day???), a good mix of desserts, and soothing tea to boot. I had gone for a solo date and had such a great time. My servers were sweet ? and made sure I was attended to. I will be making my next reservation in the near future! Thank you!?✨️

Great relaxing atmosphere. One of my favorite downtown wake Forest spots to eat. They have 2 outdoor tables if you have a dog but the space is small.

My husband and I enjoyed breakfast here Thursday. Had a tasty hummus plate and warm oak milk. The hostess was very nice and efficient. Atmosphere was comforting. Couldn't have been more convenient to our Airbnb just next door--both new to us and very satisfying.
