ClockWork Rose Tea Emporium

I went here for the very first time with some friends for a belated 30th birthday celebration for their witch tea event. It was amazing! The food and tea was amazing and loved their decor!

Looking forward to going to future tea events! 😊

Loved the atmosphere. Did an afternoon tea, it was fantastic. All the food was amazing. Tea was sooo good. Recommend highly

Can I do 6 stars? First time we went here. WOW! This place has all 3 categories covered. 1. Top notch service by Tabitha who I think has a Masters degree in "tea". She knows all about ALL of them and there are a bunch of teas here in multiple categories. She really treated us like her family. 2. Top notch food. Oh my God everything on all 3 tiers of the serving tray was so tasty. The Tomato Bisque soup to start things off was definitely the best I've ever had. The teas (we had 2) we're wonderful. A whole pot for each of us. The pomegranate Mimosa was great. I'm pretty sure we'll never go back to OJ for that drink. 3. ATMOSPHERE ! ! ! The mix of Victorian and Steam Punk is so well done you can't help staring at the walls and ceiling and we couldn't stop taking pics (until the food came of course). The obvious time taken to collect and arrange the pieces throughout the venue filling all the nooks and crannies resulted in such a wonderful place to be. The 2 hours flew by. I don't know if we'll ever be back to the Portland area again but if we are Clockwork Rose Tearoom Emporium is #1 on our REPEAT list. Thanks to Tabitha and the Back of the House for one of the most pleasurable and stimulating lunches we have ever had. We cannot recommend them enough. GO! You will be so glad you did.

Love coming here. It's my happy place and I love Celene she is amazing. Had a new girl this time and she was very sweet

Worth it! We have been coming here for years and they always deliver a great experience.

I usually prefer the first "level" of the afternoon tea tray, but this time I found the scones and the pastries to be excellent, whereas the little sandwiches were not really to my taste. I particularly disliked the new take on the traditional cucumber sandwiches (one of my favorites) as a "cheese and pickle sandwich". Since I detest pickles, there was no redeeming value there for me. Other savories were okay, but not great, at least for me. Service was excellent and I felt extremely comfortable and at home all the time. My kudos to Selene; she is great!

Wonderful experience, great attention to detail and exceptional service. Extensive tea choices, as well as the traditional sweet and savory items. The sausage rolls and tomato bisque soup were delicious. We especially enjoyed the clotted cream and lemon curd served with the pastries. A special thank you to Celine, who made our experience truly special!

Excellent experience for a small group gathering. The staff is knowledgeable and very polite. The tea selection is diverse & the snacks are fresh & delicious. Lovely experience, would highly recommend.

My family and I visited this delightful tea house today for the first time. The tea choices were plentiful; the tea sandwiches, scones and other baked treats were unusual and very good beyond expectation. The environment is entertaining; the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. And if you are lucky enough to be there when they are serving their tomato bisque soup, it’s worth talking about! We looking forward to returning!

My mom, sister and I have a tradition of celebrating teas for our birthdays- and we’ve tried them all over town. We LOVED the theme they have created here, tea options, and wonderful food. This one is now at the top of our list. Also, don’t miss the Captain Nemo bathroom…

Tea at Clockwork Rose was a delightful experience. Service was gracious, informative, and attentive without being intrusive. I chose “Portland Rain” for my tea and enjoyed every sip of this black tea with fruits and pea flower blossoms. The bottom tier of sandwiches and savories was tasty, but the stars of the show were the flavors of the scones! Maybe perhaps a bit too crumbly for my personal preference, but after adding the real clotted cream with their deliciously tangy lemon curd and raspberry jam? I had no complaints! The sweets looked beautiful and tasted wonderful. The music, decor, and place settings made me feel as though I stepped into a different time in the best possible way. Thank you for the attention to detail and for sharing the vision! I will be back.

I thought the atmosphere was quite novel. However, I found the tea selection to be limited in comparison to other tea houses. The service I experienced was good and the baked goods were alright.

We took my soon to be sister in law for an early morning luncheon and everything was superb. The food was delicious, the service was more than excellent and the place was beautiful and so fun. We had a wonderful time and would recommend Clockwork Rose Tea Emporium for anyone!

BEAVERTON, Ore. — There is something undeniably enchanting about stepping into **ClockWork Rose Tea Emporium**, a whimsical haven where Victorian elegance meets steampunk flair. From the moment you cross the threshold, the atmosphere envelops you in its spell—ornate teapots, delicate lace, and the soft murmur of conversation beneath the gentle clinking of fine china. The service, too, is impeccable: attentive, warm, and just formal enough to make you feel as though you’ve slipped into a bygone era of genteel leisure.

And yet, for all its charm, the experience is ultimately undermined by the most crucial element of any tea room—the food.

The sandwiches, a staple of any proper afternoon tea, arrived disappointingly dry, their fillings lackluster and sparing. The scones, which should be the crowning glory of such a spread, were dense and crumbly, missing that essential balance of crisp exterior and tender interior. Even the clotted cream and jam—usually a saving grace—couldn’t rescue them. As for the desserts, they were passable but forgettable, lacking the artistry and flavor one might expect from a place that otherwise excels in aesthetic detail.

It’s a shame, really. ClockWork Rose has clearly poured its heart into crafting an immersive experience, and the tea selection itself is very impressive, with fragrant, well-steeped offerings that delight the senses. But the food fails to match the elegance of the surroundings.

For now, this tea emporium remains a lovely spot for ambiance and service alone—but unless the kitchen undergoes a reinvention, it risks becoming little more than a beautiful shell, all style and no substance.

Tea was brewed wonderfully and the ambiance was lovely and unique. The treats were deliciously prepared and we were very stuffed at the end.
