Been a long week and i needed something to lift my spirits. I was in town for something and came upon this place in a “tea” search on Google maps. Thank goodness!!! I’ve always wanted to experience an afternoon English tea and Blue Willow was everything for me. Kirstie, the host, made it so meaningful and memorable. She explained everything and recommended a tea. She checked on me as needed but also gave me time to experience this in my own way. The atmosphere as comforting, between all the tea set displays, antique furniture, and the music. English Rose Tea is just lovely. The scones, with the cream and jam - divine. Sandwiches were nice and fresh. I felt so fancy, yet so comfortable; which is not the norm for me. Thank you, Blue Willow and Kirstie for such a memorable experience. AND, I purchased the tea along with a cup and saucer set from their antique store next door, to remember this time.

The server was nice, but the communication was not there. I ordered a half sandwich and soup not realizing that particular sandwich was not available for that deal. The server did not tell me this so I was confused when I was brought a whole sandwich with chips and soup. She walked away before I could ask her about it. I asked the owner when he came to our table to check on us and got a very short response from him about that sandwich not being part of the deal as he rudely walked off. If the bread on the sandwich hadn't been burned I probably would have just taken the other half of the sandwich home and would not be leaving this review, but being able to hear him talk about me to the server at the register on top of having a burnt sandwich really rubbed me the wrong way. I definitely will not be back.

I got there a bit late but they were sweet and still got me a quick cup of tea and told me about the area. I hope I'll go back here soon!

Wonderful place. We found it while out antiquing. We love England & so far this is the closest to tea in London. Hostess was very inviting. The whole experience was lovely. Food was delicious. I highly recommend this place.

I cannot believe I never noticed I left a 3/5 review. It was definitely 5/5. We had so much fun! They were so knowledgeable and accommodating, and we were dying over their soup and other food.
Lovely experience for my birthday! I’m from Ireland and we’re very serious about a good afternoon tea. Blue Willow did not disappoint. Their pricing was very reasonable and they had a good selection of interesting and classic teas to choose from. Had loads of pastries, sandwiches and goodies to select from. Too full to finish and we got boxes to take the goods home. Waitress was very attentive and came to fill our pots of tea regularly. Decor and china was beautiful. Would definitely come again!

We had a surprise 8tea birthday celebration for my Aunt on Sunday. Invited all of her nieces, and first cousins, local and out of state. Fourteen in total. Blue Willow was great in the planning process and the event was a fabulous experience. Friendly staff and great food and drinks.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this charming tea house. The staff are so friendly and warm. The sandwiches and sweets were very tasty. They were even kind enough to swap out the lobster bisck soup for a lentil soup because I am seafood intolerant. It is a perfect way to spend the afternoon. We will definitely go again!

Super great experience here. The ladies who run the place were hilarious, and the atmosphere was so charming! My mother and girlfriend both absolutely loved it. Definitely worth spending an afternoon here as there is so much to explore in the antique store that is connected as well. Really happy we came 🤗
