    Butter beer iced latte for Harry Potter weekend
    Ali D.

    I'm so so so so thankful 17 Berkshire has Harry Potter day/weekend at least once a year! We so enjoyed it last year and we're so happy it came back again for a full weekend!!! Everything we tried was fantastic and I think it's absolutely worth a trip but do be aware of a little sticker shock when it comes to the price. Everything we had was so fresh and while some of it felt especially overpriced (looking at you Goblet of Fire...) I can't be mad at the overall experience whatsoever. Favorites: Pumpkin Pastie, every single macaron we tried, and the polyjuice potion key lime was fantastic!

    Tiered tray for afternoon tea.

    I wanted this place to be a great experience, but I was very disappointed. I heard about this place from an Edible Memphis article touting that it's "the gift for the tea lover who has everything." Their branding/marketing is super cute, and because my friend's birthday was coming up, I booked a tea time. We selected an afternoon slot on the day before Thanksgiving. I figured it would be pretty crowded but didn't think it would be packed, and it's a tea shop, so how busy can it get? The answer is VERY busy. The entire time we were there, people were packing in to order pastries and desserts, talking loudly. It's not a big place, so this was a huge distraction and really took away from the relaxing tea experience. When we got there, we waited in line, and were gestured toward a table in the corner which was reserved for us. We sat ourselves and waited about 15 minutes for the waitress (who was also working the packed counter/register) to come by for our tea order. We were informed that we get one tea type per two people. There were only 5 teas to choose from. We went with a classic Earl Grey. They took quite a while to bring us the tea pot, and the tea was very floral for Earl Grey. The tea cups weren't so much dainty tea cups as tea mugs; they felt very clunky for afternoon tea. Call me crazy, but I honestly expected bone china. More time passed, and then we were given a three tiered tray with our tea snacks on it. The snacks consisted of an underwhelming assortment of 6 generic sandwiches that were the size of a piece of bread in quarters, 4 scones that were the size of macaroons, and 6 bite-sized desserts. The sandwiches were 1) turkey with mayo, 2) cucumber with dressing, and 3) a crostini with cream cheese and a sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning. They were incredibly small and soggy. The pumpkin and vanilla scones were soft and super sugary. The desserts were a petit four (honestly the best part of the whole meal, though unexpectedly custard-like in texture), a chai tea bite, and a espresso and a maple macaroon. Our waitress only came by our table to get our initial tea order and then drop off the tea, and then drop off the tiered tray. We were not checked on at any other time, and I felt as if we were inconveniencing her when we asked for cream for the tea. To add insult to this, when I walked up to the counter to pay, I was informed there was a 15% service charge. Granted, the staff members were polite, but there were way too few staff members for the service I think they were trying to deliver. I didn't feel the value, service, nor food was worth the price. Everything tasted like it came out of a premade tin. I suppose my expectations were a lot different, as I was expecting a quiet, customized tea, especially for $40 per person. I wouldn't want to go back for anything, as even that petit four wasn't a stand-out item that would have me coming back. I'm really disappointed, and I can't say I'll ever be back.

    This is such a cute and fun spot. The macaroons are delightful and full of flavor. The store is too cute. I don't know why when I visited I immediately thought of cute decorations to host a brunch. Crazy right, lol! But that's how my mind works when I see something cute and with great food and service. We tried all of the macaroons and each one of them had a different taste. I definitely enjoyed the ginger one more than I expected. So yes, if you are in the area I would suggest stopping in for the small treat that's packed with so much flavor!

    I adore 17 Berkshire! So it's hard to give it only 4 stars but I want to give a fair assessment. To good (great, really): the best macarons you can find in this area. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. The location so great and storefront is adorable! The bad: 17 Berkshire does cakes as well. I ordered one for my daughter's graduation and, particularly at the price point, it was beautiful but tasted underwhelming. Significantly underwhelming. This is why I've deducted a star. Recommendation for the owner: let customers know which flavors of macarons you're serving on which day. I'd happily drive from Mississippi for rose or lavender (personal favs) but not chocolate or red velvet. So each trip comes with a risk of disappointment. ProTip: Saturday morning has the best selection of macarons, cupcakes, tortes, etc.

    Cute little shop we found on yelp after we finished a late lunch nearby. We needed a lift after our long drive into Memphis. Our chai and latte were very good the cup and decor were very unique and special. My mom hit the nail on the head when she said you can tell this is someone's dream. The ambiance was quiet. There was only one family enjoying an afternoon "high tea" they were dressed to the nines. Rectangular dishes or trays under the pastries on display would really help highlight them . Definitely worth a stop! Go out and support someone's dream today!

    After visiting an exhibit at the Botanic Gardens, a group of us headed to 17Berkshire for afternoon tea. I am not a sweets person. Love candy, but desserts and the like have never been a fav. That said, I loved the food and experience! At $35 per person, each food set up includes tea sandwiches, scones, and assorted pastries. The scones were nothing to write home about but everything else made me sing. I don't recall ever trying a macaron and even if I did, it was only once. I'm glad I gave them a try during our visit because I found my new treat. To drink, we opted for the Heavenly Cream, Rouge Provence, and Chai teas. I had the latter two and both were amazing. The space is small but the windows make for great people watching on the square. The only downside to our experience was the wait time, and that was beyond anyone's control. We had a reservation but only one person was working, so she had to help every customer on her own. Keeping that in mind, please be patient with the staff

    Patisserie "a shop where French pastries and cakes are sold" I think it's so cool that we have a patisserie in the city! I love just passing by 17 Berkshire during my visits to Midtown! It's so beautiful, peaceful, and delicate! It's the perfect place to get some alone time, do some work, or have a tea party! I've done all 3! Lol The tea parties can be for adults and children. They include an assortment of pastries, teas, and coffee. They also have only merchandise for purchase at the store! It's a pretty sweet getaway and truly a city jewel. It is another one of the many examples in the collection of experiences Memphis has to offer. If you're ever in Midtown stop by to get something sweet and grab some tea! Items I Purchased: Pastry- Fraisier The Fraiser was creamy, fluffy, and paired well with the strawberries. It's not to be confused with cheesecake. Tea- Rouge Provence Rouge Provence was so good! It gave creamy floral notes. Next time I get it I'm going to add a little cream but it's good with only a little simple syrup.

    Birthday cake
    Cathy K.

    Cute place, nice desserts and really great service. Their birthday cake was more like half pudding half cake, yummy but on sweeter side. They have a rotating array of cupcakes which we heard are popular and sometimes sell out by afternoon. I usually don't like macaroons but their earl grey had a strong but not too overwhelming tea flavor.

    Earl grey tea
    Kyle N.

    This place wasn't easy to locate, you can't see it from the street while driving, you'll have to park and walk. The setting was elegant, the service though could be better; the young lady at register could use some additional training; greeting, smile, appreciation, etc., none of that was displayed. Their pastry runs $6-$7 a piece, so I do expect quality at this price. I tried a mango mouse and a peach pastry if I recall correctly, and it wasn't what you would expect from a gourmet bakery. I was curious about their tea service going in, but I don't think I would go back.

    So I've given 17 berkshire lots of tries. Coffee is pretty good but nearly every time I order I have to explain to the barista how to make it. The decor is super cute. The pastries are beautiful. It's a lovely little spot to sit and drink coffee. One complaint ... and it's a big one. They have beautiful well baked macarons, near perfect in appearance; but practically flavorless. I have tried all my favorite flavors of macarons ... lavender, orange blossom, earl gray, rose, and lemon. Of all of these chosen flavors the only one that tasted anything like it's labeled flavor was lemon. And the lemon just tasted like slight lemon extract. There was no discernible flavor in pretty much any of their macarons. I could taste no lavender or orange blossom or earl gray or rose flavors in any of them. Were they tasty ... I suppose. They tasted like a plain macaron with plain buttercream and if they had not been labeled as a flavor I would not have been disappointed. But, they did label them as a flavor ... with a pretty sign and everything! And because I was expecting lavender when I ate the lavender macaron I was considerable crestfallen when it tasted like nothing more than slight almond. I have eaten many macarons all over the country and other countries (including France). I've had amazingly flavored macarons. I've actually made them myself several times. Macarons are this lovely little mix of cookie, candy, cake, crispy, chewy, etc. I love a delicious macaron! I'm just so so sad 17 berkshire was so disappointing. They have beautiful pastries! The macarons are just picture perfect. But if you say something is lavender or rose ... it should be exactly that and not leave me searching for ANY flavor (other than almond and sugar) as I chew. I've debated on what to rate this ... I WANT to give 17 Berkshire 4 stars just for the appearance of everything ... including the pastries! I feel I'm somehow definitely going against the crowd here ... but I would feel dishonest singing their praises for those - like myself - looking for a deliciously flavorful macaron. I wish I could rate them 3.5 stars ... but no half stars allowed and as it is, a three star review is a much more honest rating. Will I go back? Yes.... I mean everything is just so pretty!!! Will I continue to try the macarons ... *sigh* yes ... who knows, maybe next time I'll discover flavor that I am so eager to find.

    We got this cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday! The cake was moist and the frosting was sweet, but not overly sweet like a lot of buttercreams. It was delicious and they did such a great job decorating it!

    Pretty place in Memphis!!Many cute pastries in here. Also, taste is great too!!!!!!!!

    Daily Macaroon selection
    Jordan R.

    Such a cute bakery in Memphis. I went here because I heard about their macaroon selection. They make about 8 different flavors of macaroons each day. I got one of each flavor to try, and they were so good that I was back the next week to buy more. They also have a wider selection of other sweet treats that they make daily. The bakery is very well decorated. They also offer afternoon tea that you can make reservations for on days that they bakery is open. I have not tried the afternoon tea yet, but I would like to make a reservation soon! They also have fun theme related events. At the beginning of September, they had a Harry Potter themed weekend. Treats and drinks were made that were Harry Potter themed - from a sorting house cupcake to a butterbeer latte. They also decorated the bakery with Harry Potter themed decorations. Such a fun a cute idea!

She took the time to bring out the birthday duck with a candle, and it was just beautiful. She also helped me out with a solution to self parking. So kudos to Reilly please someone give her a raise.
