Special Teas: Reviews & Ratings
It's like having tea at grandma's house! The food was great and so casual. I've only been to fancier teas, so this one was very laid back, very good, good selection. We got the extra food tea and were liked stuffed for 2 people. I think it could have really fed 3 people. We didn't have any breakfast and didn't eat until around noon, and yet still so full. Very yummy, took rest with us.
We did the Sunday afternoon special tea event. Food was delicious, though it was a bit of a wait (don't go hungry), but it allows time to catch up with friends. Everyone was very nice and the place was warm and homey. It's a place where you won't feel rushed, you can savor each bite and enjoy the atmosphere. Looking forward to the next visit!
This is my happy place when I lived in Boston, still miss this place after moving to the west coast. My idea of a good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation -- Jane Austen My friend Linda, Helen, and I would meet up here for our lovely girl's chat and tea time. I love their wall art. One of the picture frames says "A cup of tea shared is happiness tasted and time well spent". So true! The food is amazing. They have daily specials. I love the tomato soup, very rich but not overly done. Sandwiches and salads are with fresh ingredients and creatively done. They offer a variety of tea. It feels like a garden party or having lunch and tea at a good friend's house. Such a lovely place to have a girl's day out. I wish we have something like this in San Diego. I miss this tea place and my dear friends in Northborough.
Had my sister's baby shower here. Staff is fantastic down to earth and attentive. Tea and food was amazing. They were super attentive to my kids nut allergies. This is a great place to go with friends and family
Love Love Love this place!! Everything is worth it. Understand these ladies do their best. Prepare to spend an hour or two because perfection can't be rushed.
We came in for a baby sprinkle shower and it was fabulous. They were about 15 to 20 of us. Thank you so much!
I don’t normally post reviews but I can’t help myself with this one. Everything was Absolutely amazing! The tea, Green and Pomegranate, and food was to die for! I may dream about the rice and celery soup and artichoke melt. And the desserts? So good, we got a sampler plate, a little bit of everything. I am so grateful we found this beautiful place, we will definitely be back!
Wonderful tea, I had the Countess Grey. All the food that came with the "Tea for One" option was delicious, especially the sandwiches. Note: very limited seating, call ahead to ensure they have a table available. Cash preferred, card accepted
