I visited this lovely tea house last weekend with a couple of friends, and I have to say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with charming decor that made us feel right at home. The selection of teas was impressive, and I opted for a classic Earl Grey, which was brewed to perfection—smooth and fragrant. We also sampled a slice of their homemade carrot cake, which was incredibly moist and bursting with flavour. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure our teapots were always filled and checking in on us without being intrusive. If I had to offer any constructive feedback, it would be that the seating could be a bit more spacious; it felt a tad cramped once more customers arrived. However, this is a minor detail considering how much we enjoyed our time there. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit to enjoy more of their delicious offerings!

This place is just wonderful! I stopped in for a quick cuppa and was blown away by the friendly service. The herbal teas were refreshing, and the scones were simply divine—just the right amount of crumbly! I can't wait to visit again, though it would be nice if they had a few more vegan options on the menu.

What a gem of a spot! The atmosphere is just perfect for a relaxing afternoon. I loved the selection of loose-leaf teas, and the staff were super knowledgeable about each blend. The chocolate brownie I had was a dream! Highly recommend if you're looking for a lovely place to catch up with friends.
