Boston | Be sure to try the amazing afternoon tea with your crush

☕️✨ Long Bar & Terrace: Back Bay’s Sky-High Afternoon Tea Escape ✨☕️ Perched on the 17th floor of Raffles Boston, Long Bar & Terrace isn’t just a meal—it’s a full-day indulgence with a view. From sunrise breakfasts to glittering dinners, this spot masters every hour. But their weekend afternoon tea? A $75 masterpiece that’s worth every crumb (and calorie). Here’s why it’s my new special-occasion obsession. 🍰 The Afternoon Tea Breakdown 💰 Price: $75/person (shockingly fair for Back Bay’s "look-at-this-view" tax). 🫖 Tea Selection: 12 global varieties— Smoky Sri Lankan black tea Yunnan Earl Grey (floral + bold) Japanese sencha / Indian masala chai / fruity herbal blends Pro Tip: Each pot comes with a tiny hourglass ⏳—because precision steeping = luxury. 🎪 The Food: • Three-tiered tower of scones (warm + clotted cream dreams), delicate cakes, and smoked salmon sandwiches (for salty relief). • Standouts: Raspberry financier + honey-drizzled scones. • Verdict: No weak links—just elegant, balanced decadence. 🌆 Why It’s That Vibe • Views: Back Bay’s skyline without the Prudential crowds. • Outdoor Seats: Book ahead for golden-hour glam. 📸 • Indoor Mood: Moody marble bar, low-key Gatsby energy. ⚠️ Need-to-Knows • Weekends ONLY (reservations essential). • Dress Code: "I didn’t just roll out of Brookline" casual. • Best For: Dates / Mom visits / "I survived winter" celebrations. #BostonLuxury #AfternoonTeaGoals #BackBayEats #ViewWithABrew
