I believe when we entered, we were greeted by the owner and quickly opened the door for us :) Our local fyp girl told me about this place (he requested no TikToks/advertisement of some sort ) but I'm happy she was able to tell us via word of mouth!! My daughter got a chocolate milkshake for $5 and she loved it. Comes in a regular size boba cup as well. And my affagato was strong and one scoop for $3! I really loved this cute little spot as well as how nice and sweet the owner was. Very simple shop with popular flavors of ice cream and coffee! Clean, tables, and enough space for everyone to hang while waiting! (Bathroom inside also!) I also thought how sweet it was to "pay it forward" $3 was on the menu-- it's a beautiful way to remind the community there is still kindness in the world and to share it (privately). He definitely keeps his word because he was so joyful explaining to my daughter how he loves the idea and how 5 people alone today chose to pay it forward! So thank you Eric for paying forward to us. Hoping the next family enjoys a treat from us as well. Will definitely share this spot for something on the go.

The breakfast sandwich was delicious, and as always, the service was phenomenal. This has been our favorite local coffee spot for a long time, and we come here often. Most of the time I place to-go orders since I'm usually on the go. But today was special because we both had the day off. We took our time, sat outside, and enjoyed the beautiful weather while having coffee and breakfast together. It was the perfect, relaxing start to the day.

The tea sandwiches were delightful as well - soft, creamy, and savory - paring well with the tea. The desserts especially the homemade Nutella-cherry jam cake and homemade petite four were delicious. Everything paired well with tea and I left the tearoom full and satisfied. I want to add the food and tea were more positively memorable for me compared to other tearooms that I went to in the city - the food tasted way better to me at the Hen and Drake Modern Tearoom. The service was excellent as well. Chef Erin came out to greet us and asked how our experience has been, kindly asking for feedback to improve on and explaining all the details/thought put into the tearoom. The staff were friendly and very professional. I will be returning for sure.

Had a great experience at The Hen and Drake…read more My spouse and I came around noon on a Friday holiday without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us. It's a small but gorgeous tearoom that seats about 26ish people total. We opted for their cream tea option which is a personal pot of tea and 2 scones per person. My spouse is a pretty picky so unfortunately they dislike most tea sandwiches but loves scones so it's the perfect option for us. We also grabbed a couple counter desserts to try. My spouse got the blueberry darjeeling and I got the rose chai. Both were delicious but we liked the blueberry better if we had to pick one. We got a strawberry eclaire and a duck egg creme brulee as our counter desserts. The creme brulee was to die for and we found out that duck eggs were from the owners personal ducks do they agree as fresh and healthy as you can get knowing exactly what the ducks are fed. They had actually run out of scones when we got there and were very apologetic and transparent on the bake time needed. They offered to remove the scones from our bill if we didn't want to wait but we gladly waited and enjoyed our desserts first. The scones came out maybe 5 minutes after we finished the desserts and they checked in with us again. They were fresh out of the oven and served with faux Devonshire cream and a housemade cherry compote from local cherries. They were well worth the wait. If I had any suggestions it would be to make a reservation option for cream tea on their website as I totally would have made a reservation but it only had the option for afternoon tea reservations.

As a longtime barista and specialty coffee enthusiast, I was excited to find a café so close to my…read moreworkplace. The space is thoughtfully designed--open, comfortable, and visually appealing, with a unique wall-style menu and a well-executed bar setup. I appreciate the creativity in the menu, especially the blended lattes, which are not commonly found in specialty coffee. That said, the drinks themselves have been inconsistent. At times, the balance between espresso and milk is off, and sweetness levels can feel a bit overwhelming. Service has been mixed but at time defensive and in some cases while not intentionally unfriendly, interactions can feel somewhat unwelcoming, and there have been moments where a more engaging, knowledgeable approach would have made a difference. How do you not know the oz of you cups? I really wanted this to become my regular spot given the convenience and potential, but the overall experience hasn't quite matched expectations. With some refinement in both service and drink consistency, this place could truly stand out. Salted maple latte would hit but it was was too sweet and over all i could tell the shot was underextracted. Yet still gave 30 percent tip because grace is given even when we dont deserve it but this review i hope is considered. Hoping these things will shift that I could come back.

As the afternoon went on, it became unbearably hot inside the café. We asked the staff if they could lower the temperature, but were told that administration had taken the remote control and that employees did not have access to adjust the air conditioning. It was a very unusual explanation, and honestly, I wasn't sure whether it was true or if they simply wanted us to leave. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable temperature made it difficult to enjoy our time there, especially during a meeting. Based on this experience, I don't plan on returning anytime soon.

And the Ube tasted REAL, not the artificial stuff (not sure if it was artificial or not, and if it was artificially flavored, they did amazing). I can't wait to be back to try their pastries/sweets. Unfortunately I came near to closing, so of course they were out of pastries -- my fault.
