Fun way to spend time with family or friends or both. Beautiful tea room with amazing vegetarian and vegan food options along with great teas to try.Ventured out today for a morning tea and totally enjoyed our brunch. Fantastic service and the teas are wonderful. The mini sandwiches are a nice treat and the pastries and scones are so tasty and fresh.Had a wonderful time today, we will return.

I used to love this place and even went for my birthday last year. I will not be returning though! The owners treat the employees terribly and police their every move, they recently laid off several incredible people. Don't support the capitalist trash that run this place! Go eat somewhere worker owned or drink tea at home.

The staff and atmosphere were wonderful. They were attentive and patient with us while we chose our tea. The tea was phenomenal - they have curated a fun and delicious list.The missing star comes from the food in general - it was catered toward vegan and gluten free pallettes which is fine, but none of it wowed me. The "meat" in the sandwich was a fun mushroom composition but the sandwich was kinda dry around the edges/wasn't filled well so you got a lot of just bread bites and the scone was dry and hard. Their sides, though, were delicious - this includes the two jams and clotted cream to go with the scones and crumpets.The amount of food was surprisingly filling but I was disappointed in the amount of tea you get for one person (32oz French press) since they said the tea was bottomless. I couldn't even finish one French press so I wasn't able to try more teas.I wish they'd advertised that they sold their tea by itself like I saw in another review, or that the server mentioned this when I asked where they got their tea from, because the Silent Night was amazing and I would have loved some for home.Overall it was a fun experience though.

I have never felt so well taken care of at a restaurant of any kind! Heather, our server, offered to bring us a larger chair for our larger friend. They added glitter to our tea so that we could see the stars, brought us matching cups according to the colors of our tea, and was just an overall joy. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. This is the best tea room experience I've ever had.Oh! And the food! Everything we tried was so scrumptious. The teas were delightful. They had so many offerings for different dietary restrictions too.Vegetarian options: The roasted mushroom and caramelized onion sandwiches are to die for.Dietary restrictions: There is an option on the website to list your dietary needs, even before you show up!Wheelchair accessibility: The tea room has no stairs and has plenty of room between tables for wheelchairs.

My husband and I loved our experience here today. Everything from the tea, to the food, to the service, to the decor all were wonderful. The entire service is very reasonably priced for what you get. Be sure to reserve a table. The entire establishment only has about 10 tables and tea service takes at least an hour per group.I had the amazing purple rain tea and the fruity notes paired extremely well with the jams that came with the tea service. I was worried that I was going to still be hungry afterwards but the food was not only delicious but perfectly filling.I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a cozy and whimsical experience with their tea and crumpets.Vegetarian options: You would not know that the majority of the food is vegan. It all tastes amazing and fresh. The menu is very easy to read what is and isn't vegetarian, vegan or gluten free.Dietary restrictions: My spouse and I both have nut allergies. The staff was amazing at helping us navigate the menu and we had no issues enjoying the food that was prepared. If you have allergies or restrictions, they are some of the most accommodating places I've been to.

Updating my review since their move to the Kenton neighborhood. There's outside seating although no longer a patio; plus in an interesting Portlandian way, there are more Star Trek, less english cottage vibes. The customer service is (still) excellent and the tea service is (still) delightful. The To-Go window is also a great option for pick-up!We had a phenomenal tea service on the patio. Excellent customer service (thank you, Keke!). Definitely visiting again.

First off, the staff, vibe, and tea are amazing, and I would *absolutely* come here again to drink tea!The 3 star review is only for the gluten free food, but since food is a major part of the service, AND you're up-charged for GF food, I feel like the GF food should be good. Honestly, there's no excuse for bad GF food in Portland.The finger sandwiches were SOOOO dry. Like. I don't know if the GF bread was majorly stale or what, but even with the faint smattering of the filling (which was delicious), I couldn't swallow the sandwich. With such good GF bakeries like New Cascadia in the same city, there is no excuse for gross, stale GF bread. Also, there is no excuse for just how little filling there was in the sandwiches, as I peeked over and saw the normal sandwiches had a good amount of filling. You can see in the photo that they were mostly bread, no filling. I ate one tiny sandwich with a gulping of tea to get it down, but I left the rest.While the finger sandwiches were bone dry, the crumpet was very undercooked. Like. It was just wet dough inside, and it stuck to my teeth as I tried eating it. Ick. I ate two bites and was done.The scones were American style (hard) and had a very similar flavor profile to the cake. I wish they didn't taste so similar! But both of these were fine, and I loved that they had vegan clotted cream, (though it reminded me more of whipped cream than traditional English clotted cream).Staff was very kind and gave us a 10% discount, and we did love the tea so much that we bought some to take home. But the food? Sorry, really bad and definitely wasn't worth the price.Dietary restrictions: Love that they HAVE GF options, but hated the GF offerings, sadly.

My friends and I frequent this tea room at least several times a year and love it. The "meh" review is strictly regarding some of the food we had. Service and atmosphere are still amazing. I loved my tea (decaf lavender and vanilla), the scone and the soup. I had a hard time with the desserts. Two of the three desserts were very dry and the cookie had a very interesting aftertaste.

My partner and I have been here several times already and love everything about our experience.The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The tea service is, pardon my pun, out of this world.Reservations are recommended, but we've been fortunate enough to have tea service as a walk-in as well.Looking forward to our next visit!Dietary restrictions: The staff are very accommodating regarding dietary restrictions. When making reservations online you can let the staff know about any dietary restrictions you may have.

We had a fantastic time at Emperor Georgiou's Tea Room! The food was absolutely fantastic (we had 1 regular and 1 gluten-free Uhura tea service). The atmosphere was so detailed and peaceful, and the service was wonderful. Would recommend to everyone (Star Trek lovers and future Star Trek fans alike)!Dietary restrictions: I asked for the gluten-free option and received a delicious gf version of everything my spouse's non-gf plate had.
