I had high tea here on a rainy day with a baby and my husband and it was AWESOME! The interior looks like a house, and they have a cool back garden-y area.
It was my first high tea, and I was skeptical about the amount of food you'd get, but I was full at the end of it. Each of the sandwiches were delicate and delicious - carefully arranged and displayed on the 3-tiered tray along with scones that came with an assortment of spreads. The top tier was my favorite: the sweets! These were so delicious! While sweet, nothing was overly sweet, but had rich and diverse flavors. The layered Russian Cream Cakes were my favorite, kind of like tiramisu, but not...
The tea selection is lovely also. They have a nice selection of fine teas and seem knowledgeable about them as well. We didn't try any flavored teas, but seeing the quality of their fine teas, I bet they are terrific for those who prefer the flavored teas. We had the St. Marc which was floral and sweet on its own, and the Lapsang Souchong which was smooth, smokey, and dark - great on its own, and great with a touch of milk. The smokey note was so aromatic it was terrific.
The ladies working were delightful, kind, sweet and helpful, and as I mentioned before, knew their tea! We had a terrific time and it was a great first high tea experience. We will certainly be back.
It seems many people make reservations. We were able to arrive and have tea without making one, but I think we will make a...
Read morelf I could give this more stars, I would without a second thought! Everything about this place was fantastic. My mother and I have been going to different high teas for over 10 years in multiple countries, but this experience was unmatched. It’s no wonder that my sister had trouble booking a tea service there, as it was an amazing experience and worth the multiple calls to try and get in. The food was phenomenal, prepared with the utmost love and care, which showed through the quality of the food. The tea was exceptional, brewed perfectly, not over- or under-brewed, the perfect temperature when it came to us at the table. The decor was adorable and set the mood wonderfully, it was decorated beautifully and thoughtfully and made for a gorgeous backdrop and setting for the tea. A really nice ambiance and environment. All that being said, nothing can compare to the service that we were provided. Margo is the most incredible person, really a one of a kind, beautiful soul. She was so thoughtful in her service, and it’s no surprise that she’s been working there 20 years — she clearly loves her job and has a gift with customers thanks to her charming and caring personality. She was super attentive and friendly and made wonderful conversation. She gave us all big hugs, it was adorable and so sweet. We will absolutely be back for the food, tea and most...
Read moreGreat experience for high tea in a casual setting. Super cute place. Chandeliers, teacups and saucers for decor, friendly welcome. The triangular sandwiches were delicious, especially the salmon and also the olivade. But they were all made with fresh soft sandwich bread, and quality ingredients. The scones were hot not dry but soft. The creme was perfect consistency, the jam was subtle, not too sweet. The top of the three tiers had a wide variety of tiny bites of dessert and fruit including cherries, we were so full we took all the dessert home and leftover sandwiches. There's a patio that's got a sweet garden vibe but you definitely know you are in a tea shop. The friendly sisters who run the place were sweet...and even pour your first cup of tea. I recommend the oolong golden if you like a subtle tea, or if you stronger tart flavor, try the hibiscus melba...it's a red tea. Plenty of free public parking across the street....we were there on a Sunday and there was a farmers market on Honolulu Blvd....we had to go around and past it in order to reach The T Room, not hard, easy. Best tea experience ever, better than those fancy hotel high teas. Highly recommend even when it's not Mothers Day. Oh by the...
