Annie's Tea Room — Restaurant in Milton Keynes

We went to Annie's Tea Room for the first time today. Upon arrival, no one greeted us, even though staff looked right at us; not a single hello or nod, not even a smile. We settled into an uncomfortable atmosphere and noticed the dead flies along the window, it wasn't a clean tea house. We smiled at the staff and tried to engage, but nothing. For a moment, I wondered if I had stumbled into a serious event, like a wake. No worries we thought, they might be busy or short-staffed, and the weather hasn't been great for work, we get it. We decided to wait and see if it got better. Almost ten minutes later, my sister mentioned she received a small nod from one of the staff. Perhaps things were about to change.

We will definitely be returning as...

I visited this tearoom early yesterday morning and I was pleasantly surprised by the warming decour of yellow and blue green upholstery on the comfortable chairs. I was the only customer but it was early and during a weekday. I noticed a good variety of cakes for sale and overheard the owner Annie and her employe making more cakes in the kitchen.
