I have been to this venue in the past with service from the owner and other ladies, it was fine, not fancy but fun. What a disappointment today! They were running late, the young, male server was very nice but not exactly adding to the ambiance you expect for “ high tea”, especially with no music. We were invited to play on their jukebox but I wasn’t about to bend down and figure out a system I’m not familiar with.
Finally, finally our warm tea arrived and two tea trays for 7 people for a total of 5 plates plus 4 pots of tea. Very poor selection!
Some home made which was good, some fruit/ eggs/ few cheese cubes, all tiny and the rest appeared to be from a big box store- two bite brownies, cookies/ pretzels.. see photo. For the cost $227 for 7 people it definitely felt like shrink- flation or a weekend hobby for someone.
For some reason the only other occupied table was seated next to us, arms reach, very awkward. It ended our get together.
We are a diverse group and have experienced “ high tea” all over the world/country/local area and never have I had such a mediocre and sub par experience.
I love to support local small businesses but this is best avoided. Cannot recommend unfortunately. I wish I could, I wish I could’ve said it was wonderful.

For 6 girls we paid $226. Too much money for just finger-food and how much tea one person can drink. We had to pay Venmo or cash. One of the girls was very sick, we still had to pay for her $34 (20% gratuity included)!The atmosphere is very nice, but the lights kept shutting off on us. We found other venues to choose from. The group won’t be back.

This charming and cozy shop offers a beautifully presented high tea experience with generous portions. A fun touch was picking our own teapots from several on display—I loved my chai, and my friend enjoyed a fruit blend, though the selection was somewhat limited.

Service was a bit slow, and as a first-timer, I would’ve appreciated more guidance. However, the delicious menu, cozy ambiance, and great company made up for it—and the scones are absolutely to die for!

Parking was tricky, possibly due to the snow, but I’d still highly recommend CommuniTea for a delightful high tea outing!

Had a small bridal shower here. I was very happy with the price. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was so much fun! The tea shop is filled with tons of tiny details that make it a great place to spend some time. We all had a great time! And I can't say enough about the actual tea, a wide variety of options and every one we tried was yummy.

Went for a Bridal shower and was not impressed. It dirty and the help needed cleaned also. The bathroom was disgusting. I was afraid to touch anything. The food and the tea was good. I'm surprised they pass any inspections on health codes

My first time visiting came with my ladies from my church for a Mother's Day luncheon, and the high tea and luncheon were very good. I had a wonderful time and will come back again.

I would not recommend this venue to ANYONE. I was mortified at the experience, and we ended up leaving early because it was so terrible. I reached out to the owner to request a partial refund, which she agreed to, then ceased communication. This was nowhere in the realm of “high tea” - the entire thing was embarrassingly bad. I was mortified to have brought my family to that. Nothing was prepared when we arrived. The waitress seemed surprised to see us and was preoccupied with another pickup order. She was very clearly new, and the owner wasn’t seen except for when I went to the back to finally ask for drinks. The waitress left the door wide open while it was cold outside with 2 toddlers for about 5 minutes. I finally shut it myself. There was no music, and when I asked if she could put something on, she looked at me like I was crazy and then turned on country music or something similarly non-tea room-esque. I just told her we’d put on our own music and we played tea room music on our phones. She told us to select any tea pot and then later told us we picked ones we couldn’t use. We were there for about 30 minutes without anything to drink - I finally came back to ask for water or tea after we were served two small plates with potato chips (for a table of EIGHT). We had to ask for enough cups, as the table wasn’t fully set. I had to serve everyone water and tea myself. The food items on the buffet were shockingly bad. Genuinely, shocking. We were served bread with icing and sprinkles, pb&js, pudding cups, fruit thrown in a bowl, store bought cupcakes, and a few finger sandwiches on plain bread. The chicken salad sandwiches were decent but there was almost no salad on them at all. We left because I was humiliated at the experience and we were all hungry and wanted to be able to enjoy celebrating my daughter and sister’s birthdays. The owner claimed we snuck out; however, we didn’t sneak out - no one was paying attention to us or checking on us at all. We were quite loud as we left. Overall terrible experience. If I ever want a tea party in the future, I will do it myself - it would be 500x better than this.
