When We arrived, I said we have a reservation for 6 but 1 person at last minute could not make it. I was basically scolded by the employee, a thick, chunky girl with black hair in front of my family. If you have only 5 you should have called to let us know, we expect you to do this. We are preparing food. VERY EMBARRASSING! Well all that food they were preparing we didn't even get till after 45 minutes of sitting there. Which consisted of tiny sandwiches, which were mainly bread very little filling. Some sponge cakes, scones and other small desserts. It's a cute idea but for the expensive price you pay, it's just not worth it. But, the top reason we won't be back is your rude employee.

We had a great time here! We love scones with clotted cream and jam! It was a great place to sit outside. Make reservations for your table!

I’ve been here a few times already and wow the quality of everything is always past phenomenal. The teas and even the custom mixes are out of this world, try the Lady Charlotte with two lumps an a splash of milk. The food is always top notch and fresh even the bread on the sandwich’s super soft and super fresh.try the egg salad sandwich and the jubilee chicken, out of this world yummy. Everyone is so nice and courteous here and friendly to the max lol. I can definitely say I’ll be coming back for more and more amazing English tea lunches.

A very unique experience you would not expect to find. Hidden gem with wonderful staff and a quaint place. Next time I go I want the full lunch experience.

I just wanted to send a note to the owner. My sister and I reserved for high tea with a high price. But apparently landed on a day when there wasn't enough ingredients and things didn't seems fresh. The little sandwiches were unidentifiable (I think it was supposed to be egg and chicken separately, but we could not tell or barely taste the filling). The amount of filling was so skimpy, they obviously tried to spread it as thin as possible. The cucumbers on the sandwiches were thinner than tiny pickles, yet there were 2 thicker cumcumber slices separately on the tray (I wondered if other guests didn't like cucumbers and so they decided to barely put any on those.) My British born friend with me was sadly disappointed that they had some (again a small amount) of cream cheese on the cucumber sandwiches, which is not English. The sandwich portion of the tray had about 4 tiny spinach leaves in the center for decoration/garnish & one 1/2 of a grape tomate by itself. Surely this isn't the usual presentation. (Again, I felt surely they were short on their ingredients.) I am NOT British or very good with food presentation, but for the money it cost per person, this was very pathetic. Nothing special at all. It is lovely to have a tea room option downtown in a historic district, but the price for what we got today was absurd. The jelly offered was about a tablespoon for 3 of us at the table. The clotted cream same. The Victoria Cake was very good and passed the standard of my English born friend.sadly, that was the only thing. The scones were dry.perhaps day old? My friend actually believed all of it was old. The chocolate mouse was fine, but again about 2 tablespoons each. The tiny piece of meringue was crewy, not soft, and there was something on it or with it that was such a tiny piece of something that I couldn't tell what it was. When the servers who were cordial, asked how it was, my British friend, calmly said, "It's not very good, the sandwiches seem stale and tasteless, the sausage slice (which is supposed to be served in a roll, English style) was overly seasoned. She responded politely and said she was sorry, but offered nothing in the way of discount for the what I hope was an usually poor day in their inventory and prep. And we were still charged $40 a piece. Perhaps it was a bad day. Perhaps they skimp on the fillings because they have high overhead. I am not sure what it wrong, but the extra care for a special and costly event was definitely missing. At the end, we also discovered that we each had bagged tea in our pots, even part of the appeal was that they serve authentic loose teas. I don't understand not having some explanation offered for that when they make a point of saying "Our selection of fine loose teas" on their menu. Very strange. And the servers did not come back to offer to take out the bags, or provide a place to put the bags to keep the tea from getting too strong or to offer more hot water. No water glass was provdied or juice of any kind. Nothing but hot tea. The serving even for high tea (the most expensive) was on a tiny saucer for each of us. It got full pretty quickly with muffin paper and there was one tiny napkin even though we are eating with our hands. I sincerely hope they will improve! It is a lovely idea, but the quality and experience today was extremely lacking. If they had offered a discount for the small servings and fillings, that would have helped; but I realized the young women working there without an owner or manager couldn't make a decision like that, even though it was necessary. I don't expect the owner to be there everyday or even on the weekend, and again, I hope they can improve and really put some more into this experience so that it can remain part of downtown.

Sausage rolls cut into potato chips you get 6 slices.cucumber sandwiches with hardly any cucumber but dollops of cream cheese on stale bread, all sandwiches were as tiny as you can get the other 2 varieties were unrecognizable on stale bread, scones were dry but clotted cream made them edible meringue was like chewing gum. The Victoria sponge was good. The chocolate mousse had way too much cocoa and the tea was not hot. Way too expensive for the very little effort they put into it. They need to make them fresh and use fresh bread. All 3 of us were so disappointed. $40.00 a head for next to nothing.

Absolutely delightful experience. Definitely worth the reservation for a high tea! The curry chicken sandwich is divine.

Came in at 3. They asked how they could help and told us all the seats were full. We asked if we could order something or purchase dessert or anything still. We were told the kitchen was "too busy" to even do that? Wasted a trip here. Left completely empty handed. I guess if you want any service you must reserve a spot out.

The tea, food, and atmosphere is beautiful! The space is whimsical, soft, bright, and cozy. I recommend the Buckingham Tea with 1 sugar lump and a splash of cream. The little sandwiches and dessert towers are such a special treat!
