The Old Curiosity Tea Shop

I have been a loyal customer for years. The tea shop is charming, and the tea superb.

Such a wonderful place for afternoon tea. Visited with my mom for the first time. Service was excellent! The food was delicious too. I grew up in England and the scones were much better than most I've had over there. Highly recommend!

Lovely experience at the old curiosity tea shop. Our host was super welcoming and knowledgeable. Great selection of tea offerings. I forgot the name but I really enjoyed the mango lemon tea as well as the tuna melt I ordered. I would love to pop in again to purchase loose leaf tea for my home. Great experience. Would recommend.

So difficult to get them to respond to you, I've left a voice message twice (over the span of a couple of weeks) once for my birthday and once to make a booking for a Saturday, never had any one get back to me. I always leave my name and phone number.

In the meantime, went physically to the location twice, once there was a family function so they couldn't seat us, and today it was 3 o'clock (they close at 4) and he said it was too late, last seating is at 2.30.

We won't be trying again.

The atmosphere is lovely. The service flawless.
The food, meh. The sandwiches had so little filling I had guess what they were, the scones were ok. No choice of jam. No butter. The cookies were boring.

Just had a wonderful lunch. Adam our server was exceptional. He gave great input into all selections. From our chai tea, to Welsh rarebit, quiche and sticky pudding, it was delicious. 5 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent service, great food and unique atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting

We as a family and friends have been coming here for a couple of years now. We travel from an hour away. Adam has always been the best host. Fantastic atmosphere. Never have had a bad meal there and have tried almost the whole menu. Adam has also been very good with our grandchildren, now 4, 8 and 11. When they were younger he would always make them up a special plate. Scones are great and when you ask ahead of time you will have them for take home.

My friends and I love a nice afternoon tea so we planned to try out this place. I'm vegetarian (near vegan), one other is pescatarian and the third just eats mainly vegetarian but is not strict. Naturally, I wanted to call to ask them about what sort of adjustments they do for vegetarian/vegan. How disappointing to try ringing three or four times today and never getting an answer. Once I decided to wait until the end of the many rings and leave a message. After the long stretch of rings it HUNG UP on me! Really?! I don't mind that you have a bare bones website; no problem. But then know that people may want to phone to ask questions. If you're too busy to answer the phone, I can see that, small family run business, but then you can at least accept voicemail.

I have been going here for years. Adam is incredible- he is professional, polite and can't do enough for you! I have never been disappointed here.

Such a lovely place to enjoy some tea and treats with friends and family. The place has a cozy vibe with wonderful and welcoming staff. I will definitely be back soon!

If you’re looking for a tea shop that is warm and welcoming, this is the place. It full of beautiful china, teapots and historical memorabilia.

You will be treated like Royalty. Adam greets all the guests with warmth and familiarity. The menu has something for everyone. The menu is not gluten free but we brought our own bread and their
delicious sandwiches were made for us on the gluten free bread. Highly recommend this charming venue. It’s such a lovely experience.

Cozy, personal and great to buy from

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience my friend and I had at your establishment. During a challenging time for my friend, we sought a quiet space to reconnect and discuss personal matters. This venue, one of his favorites, is typically very busy and requires advance reservations. We were pleasantly surprised when the management team accommodated us on short notice.

Every aspect of our visit was delightful, particularly the amazing selection of teas. Our host was incredibly helpful, providing a thorough explanation of the offerings. We enjoyed the vanilla chai and an assortment of sandwiches, including the Welsh rarebit with extra butter, which was my personal favorite, as well as a walnut cream sandwich and a cream and apple sandwich.

The inviting ambiance and attentive hospitality truly uplifted our spirits and allowed us to navigate our week with renewed positivity. Thank you to the entire team for making our day so special; your efforts are deeply appreciated.

Best afternoon tea ever. Adam, the owner, does a great job looking after everyone!!
