My wife is an absolute tea fanatic and has been giddy with anticipation for the opening of this tea room. We finally had our taste today and it was wonderful. The tea selection is top notch, curated by someone with great passion and knowledge of the subject. I'm not the biggest tea person, but thanks to the breadth and depth of her menu, even I was able to find a tea that not only did I like, but actually truly enjoyed.
The ambiance is on-point: a quaint cozy tea room that can house maybe about 20 people at most, ensuring an overall intimate experience. The menu is a set menu (but adjustments made for allergies or intolerances), and was delightful. Be adventurous and lean in. We frequently go to Taste of Britain in Wayne, and the food and presentation were their equal without a doubt. An exemplary high tea: delicious scones, lovely small desserts, excellent variety of tea sandwiches, and the menu changes monthly for seasonal variety and interest, both tea and food selections.
Terrific service and the proprietor couldn't have been more kind and warm. You can see how much she loves creating the entire vibe of the whole place, a place to get away from it all and just enjoy some tea and good company.
Highly recommend. Cash only for the moment while they get their credit card situation sorted out so just remember to bring cash with you. Glad to see this spot join the local community, but if you are farther away, definitely a destination worth the trip if you are looking for a quality experience with a lot of...

My husband and I enjoyed full Afternoon Tea at this charming addition to Hatboro. The tables were full, and so were our bellies as we thanked Mary and "Sweet Baby" Gianina for a delicious and generous lunch.
It's easy to see that Mary puts her heart and soul into her endeavors. Love of tea, love of tradition, and love of family are evident as soon as you step inside. The walls display an array of treasured family photos. The array of china, cups and saucers, and teapots "short and stout" are a delight. And the food was as tasty and it was plentiful. I normally leave an afternoon tea wanting just a bit more... larger sandwiches or a decent size scone... but Mary and her granddaughter did not disappoint my greedy appetite. Wish I had taken pictures to show just how plentiful the courses and portions were. (Will do next time.)
Oh, and the hats! There should always be hats to draw your attention and curiosity over tea!
Sometimes a great meal brings about hiccups. Thus four stars out of five. Opening day was a full house and, understandably to my husband and me, service ran slow. I have no doubt my next visit will see improvement on that front. After all, hiccups are temporary.
The ladies of Sweet Baby's have created a lovely spot to enjoy the pleasures of a leisurely tea. I'm eager to go...
Read moreOur visit to Sweet Baby's Tea Room was wonderful. You feel like you just stepped into someone's dining room, so warm and cozy. The decor is beautiful. So much work went into it, you can tell. The staff was friendly and attentive, all with smiles on their faces. Blueberry lemon scones were excellent, served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and raspberry jam, all made in house. All of the pastries and sandwiches were yummy, especially the chicken salad on cinnamon raisin bread. And, of course, the tea was great, brewed perfectly. There are so many different types to choose from. I had a wonderful white champagne currant that smelled heavenly and tasted even better. Can't wait to go back. This is a place that you must visit. You'll be...
