A sweet little teahouse with a variety of delicious teas and tea-time food. The staff is friendly and always polite. Only complaints are the prices are a little high for some of the foods and desserts that you can get (especially the to-go tea leaves of the shop), but the Dine-in tea is very expensive, and the selection is huge.

Cosy, warm, comfortable room. Afternoon tea service was excellent, delicious sandwiches and desserts, beautiful presentation. Fantastic selection of teas. Owners and employees are very responsive and work significantly hard to ensure that guests have a good experience. Very recommended.

Charming and beautiful place with tea and creativity. I felt like I was with my mother and grandmother for an afternoon of tea and lively conversation.

I love this little boutique. Besides having the most incredible, fresh teas, they also have a great tea room for a delicious lunch or party. The owner Marcella is absolutely delightful and really knows her teas. She can help you find something for your personal tastes. Lots of very nice gifts too. Seriously a great place with great people. Go; you won't regret it.

A wonderful place to have a fun lunch- especially if you aren’t in a rush. They create a great experience with delicious tea and food. Hot chocolate and kid food are available- our kids loved that. And they have fun hats for dress up!
