What a delightful experience to enjoy High Tea at Martha's Pantry! We were warmly welcomed and invited to sit at a table prepared for us. The menu of teas is extensive and we relaxed after a long day of walking around Wellington while the food was being prepared. I loved the pastel colors, the artwork on the walls, the colorful hats, tea sets, and table chairs in the warm, welcoming atmosphere. And then the wide variety of savory sandwiches, cheese with sauerkraut (what a great combination!) homemade pickles and avocado filled the lower of 3 tiers; topped with delicious warm scones with whipped cream and jam on the 2nd tier; with the topping on the cake on the first tier including a variety of delicious sweets (strawberry cake, macaroon, filled cookie, and an amazing passion fruit pudding). When we thought there could not be more, we were surprised with a taste of shaved ice like I've never had before that left our mouths fresh and our souls quenched. I can't recommend Matha's Pantry highly enough - I know you'll love the vibes, the great variety and delicious food and tea, and the wonderful, welcoming, and friendly service with a smile. And you might also be surprised with a printed photo...
Read moreA bunch of us celebrated a friend's 80th birthday, with a High Tea experience. Majority of us were very happy with the food, and the price of it... expect me. The little items of food were visually well presented. Unfortunately one of the sandwiches had dried out bread, which I don't expect. Two of our party said their bread was dry also. I understand that high tea food items are meant to be small, and dainty. But a couple of sweet items, like the frosted cup cake... honestly it looked like it was for a 2 year olds birthday party. $45.00 is a very high priced lunch for me, I certainly did not think it was value for money. And if I wasn't there to celebrate my friends special birthday, I wouldn't normally be paying $45.00 for a High Tea/lunch. But would stop in for a drink... amazing tea selection...as well as other drinks selection. Bonus off street parking, right in the hub of...
Read moreWe had an amazing high tea experience today at Martha’s pantry! Sean, the owner, was very welcoming, attentive and provided all the great little touches that made us feel well taken care of. The high tea was delicious, all the food was great quality and you can order any drinks from the menu as part of the high tea. I had the ice latte which was great and one of my daughters had the cutest little fluffy ever. There is a great selection of tea, coffee and other drinks like smoothies if tea or coffee isnt your thing. The food portion was generous; we didnt even finish everything and everything was delicious. Sean even took a photo of our group and printed them for us as kind mementos. Excellent service, food and drinks, plus cute ambiance. Highly recommend this cafe whether for high tea or just for food...
