    What a charming, lovely escape in the middle of the city! Lovely decor but comfortable and casual at the same time. My teenager was afraid it would be dressy and stuffy, but not at all! Reasonable price for a very nice selection of tasty savories and sweets. Love that tip is included to support equal wages -!! I'm sure we'll be back.

    We have several dietary restrictions that were admirably dealt with. Service was impeccable. View was fantastic and the decor was lovely. Highly recommend.

    I took my 83 yr old mom and she loved it! Each tea cup is different, each plate is different as are the tablecloths and chairs. Very fun. Lots of tea choices and the finger sandwiches are good and then there are sweets on the top two layers of the tray. It is a bit loud, but overall fun. The server/owner was lovely.

    This tea spot is a gem on fairly busy Belmont St. The storefront room is very inviting with China tea cups, teapot plates, fresh flowers on the table, lace tablecloths. There’s a large variety of teas to choose from and a three tiered tray with small bites of sandwiches, sweets, and scones. I love the chicken salad. Donna, our server was very prompt and accommodating eg, I had never had Scottish tea and she brought a small pot to try. Parking is quite accessible on the main road or side streets. I highly recommend this place and encourage you bring family and friends. At $35 each it is well worth it.
