NOT WORTH THE PRICE! BEWARE!
We were very understanding that they were not operating at full power because of Hurricane Milton, but we should’ve been discounted or have been refunded our deposit (which doesn’t count towards your bill) if they were not able to provide a full experience. No transparency on what they could and could not offer to us upfront, we had to ask first. We felt many corners were cut. We did not have any salmon sandwiches like shown in pictures. No mention of what kind of sandwiches were being served on the menus, we didn’t find out until it was brought out. Sandwiches were cheaply made using the same bread across all three. We were served a plain cheese sandwich, cucumber sandwich, and a plain chicken salad sandwich. For $40 a head, I would expect a little variety in flavor and texture. Could’ve even put pimentos in the cheese sandwich at least!
The scones were overly dry and crumbly. No variety in the scones either, all of them were cranberry. We were served one small dish of clotted cream to share amongst 5 of us, we had to ask for another. Small complaint but why be stingy with the cream in the first place?
The desserts we were served were a vanilla cupcake, ONE small macaron, and a small pumpkin spice madeleine for each person. No choice in what flavors we would’ve liked for any of this and it was not listed. I don’t like pumpkin spice personally and would’ve preferred original. The menu also lists macarons (plural) would be served but since that wasn’t the case the size of the macaron that was served was very disappointing. I have a feeling most of the desserts were not baked in house and were bought at Target or Publix.
The tea sets and silverware were nice, but we were given no small plates to put our scones and other food onto. This is a minor nitpick but for the prices they’re asking I would also expect a table cloth and other table linens, not just a singular paper napkin. I’m convinced this place is laundering money with the way they have seemed to make everything as cheaply as possible but sell it at a premium price. Not a small business I will be supporting again after feeling very taken advantage of, your money is better spent at a small cafe for a quarter of the price. The tea was pretty good though, I’ll...
Read moreI recently had the most delightful experience celebrating my birthday, along with my friend's, at a charming black-owned tea shop. Our birthdays are close together, so we decided to make it a joint celebration, and what better way to do it than with a royal afternoon tea?
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance took our breath away. The decor was elegant yet cozy, with vintage teacups, lush greenery, and soft lighting that created the perfect setting for an afternoon of indulgence. The atmosphere was buzzing with a mix of sophistication and warmth, making us feel like we had stepped into a posh English tea room.
The owner of the tea shop was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She took the time to explain the different teas and treats on offer, making us feel right at home. Her passion for tea and dedication to her craft were evident in every detail, from the beautifully arranged tables to the carefully curated tea menu.
Now, I have to admit, I'm a bit obsessed with the Royals. So, when my friend from the UK helped me choose the right tea, I was beyond thrilled. She ensured that I had a true posh experience, guiding me through the nuances of selecting the perfect blend. I ended up choosing a classic Earl Grey, which paired wonderfully with the delicate finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and an array of exquisite pastries.
The entire experience was nothing short of regal. As we sipped our tea, enjoyed the delectable treats, and caught up on life’s adventures, we couldn't help but feel like royalty. The combination of the delightful ambiance, the impeccable service, and the delicious food made our birthday celebration unforgettable.
If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking out this gem of a tea shop. The experience is one of a kind, and you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be back, and I'm already planning to have my next book launch here. Stay tuned for more royal...
