    The services was great and friendly. Food and tea was very good. We were late for our seating but they never rushed us or skimped on anything. Would go again

    My college friend for 40 years and I had the most wonderful afternoon tea experience at Sotherton Tea Room in Lincoln, California. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed into a beautifully designed, cozy space that felt both elegant and inviting. The experience was made even more special by the outstanding service from Amanda and Jan. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, took the time to explain each dish and tea selection, and made sure we felt completely at home. Their patience and warmth stood out, especially when they helped us capture beautiful memories in different parts of the tea room—because let’s be honest, every corner of this place is Instagram-worthy! Overall, this was a truly unforgettable experience, and we will absolutely be back.

    My girlfriend and I had the best time!! The food and variety of teas were wonderful, and I loved that they let us try as many teas as we'd like. Even though there was a large party sat right next to us, we received great service the whole time. Thank you, Ingrid! She never hovered, but made herself available and checked in frequently enough. So glad we tried it out, because we'll definitely be back!

    It’s weird when we book this through open table, we were asked to pay, then when we got there they are charging us again. They told us that they have nothing to do with open table, so I am not sure if we were charged twice. Hate that part!!! I thought we prepaid already! Then we didnt get our own tea pot so my friend and I had to share the same flavor of tea. The sandwich arent that great. There were 4 mini sandwiches, only cucumber is the good one. I didnt eat the other two. The other mini sandwich that has tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and balsamic glaze, just not a good option to put on a sandwich. Will never go back. The scone…. Feels likes a sweet biscuit with raisins. Not good at all. I was so disappointed! They also gave us a Quiche, that was good and pretty big. If they didnt serve that Id be so hungry. Cause I didnt like most of the mini sandwiches.

    Not a great experience here. The staff wasnt very friendly... the experience was rushed so they could get through people. The tables are packed inside to the point where there is barley walking room. The food was ok.. Bathrooms were dirty. We wont be going back.. especially for $55/per person.

    My two sisters and I just enjoyed the Queen's Tea experience. It was a wonderful time! Our food and service were both top shelf! The Tea room was very busy, and the staff was both friendly and efficient. I visit frequently, and have never been disappointed. Thank you Elaine & staff for another lovely afternoon tea!
