Today we were celebrating our friend's 75th birthday and she wanted to try Alice's Tea Pot cafe. None of us have ever been there before so we were excited. When you first walked in you are literally transported into Wonderland. It is so whimsical! We spent a good 10 minutes just looking around the restaurant and taking pictures it was so cute! Our waitress, Alana, quickly greeted our table and was so adorable and happy! We even commented to her that we've never seen a server be so happy and she told us about all the perks of working there. We quickly decided what we wanted to order, and then patiently waited for our food. Much to our surprise they had singers in the restaurant! Forbes serenaded us a few times and then, Alana belted it out some Disney Tunes! Both of their voices were incredible and it was a nice treat. The food arrived, and it was scrumptious! The birthday girl had the key and said it was so delicious! My fiance had the waffle and ate every bite. I had the stuff Nutella and pistachio croissant and it was good, although it seemed over toasted. All in all we had such a beautiful birthday brunch at this Cafe. It would be perfect for someone with children or grandchildren. It was like stepping into Disney without ever leaving Delray Beach! read more

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. From the service, to the tea, food and decor everything was sheer perfection. The restaurant is a labor of love for the owner honoring the memory of her late son. A special story and a very special place. read more

You walk in from a Delray strip mall and walk into a fantasy. From the throne chairs to the indoor gazebo, to the amazing ceiling and (to my mind at least ) McKenzie-Childs feeling in part of the restaurant to the flowers and fanciful , whimsical touches this place is absolutely adorable and refreshing. Whether it be a fun and different kind of "ladies lunch" or dinner", a place to bring a special little girl or throw her a party here , it will be a magical experience I promise you. You can order high tea or just pots. They have a delicious menu with lovely choices. I very much enjoyed their quiche and a pot of vanilla caramel tea. And don't get me started on their desserts which are all made in-house. Although they hadn't started when I visited, I've heard that there are going to be singing waiters and interesting themed events as well. If I was going to pick on one singular thing that was wrong it's that for that particular day they were very short staffed. Nevertheless our waitress did her best and was very accommodating and charming. I will definitely return It's like a mini-vacation ! read more

Cute concept, older crowd and very loud karaoke. Singing staff and guest. We went on their soft opening for dinner service so it may get better. Whimsical decor. The food was really good. I had a salad and that was the only item on the menu that didn't have meat and my friends had the chicken pot pie. Both dishes were very good. Tonight was a nice experience but for me it is a one and done. read more

Service was slow and they were out of items on the menu. It was a Friday mid afternoon. The singer sang well but was a little too close for comfort. I also don't love seeing staff smoke on the front sidewalk. Yuck! The owner was personable. read more

Super cute ambiance! Step through the door and you are instantly transported to a whimsical, beautiful place! We went here to celebrate Mother's Day. For Mother's Day, they were only serving high tea. But on other days, they have a lunch menu. The chicken salad on croissant sandwiches were delicious. The cucumber and egg salad tea sandwich were delightful. I always love scones with jam & cream. The only thing that was I was not thrilled with was the quiche. It was bland. Plus, I love a good crust on my quiches. The servers were attentive. The owner came out and introduced herself. Plus, we had entertainment, a girl singing to us. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to coming back and trying lunch one day. read more

The decor was just as described. Alice's wonderland. As special as the decor was, the service lacked. We were a party of 2. The waitress only brought over one of two coffee drinks ordered until we reminded her. The pistachio, Dubai chocolate latte was much too sweet to drink, and the cheddar and apple sandwich tasted like an apple sandwich on a small roll. The plate was filled with a healthy portion of green salad leaves dressed with apricot dressing. No other dressing choice! We both had the same order $80. We left hungry. Not someplace we would return to. read more

This place is amazing! Love the Alice In Wonderland theme. Whimsical vibe all around. I went for high tea with some of my lady friends. We had the best time. The sweets and savories were deliciously offered on a three-tiered service tray. Plenty of each so no one left hungry. Each person's place setting was made up of a gorgeous mixed pattern China tea cup, saucer and luncheon plate. With the High Tea service everyone got to choose their own tea flavor and got it piping hot in their own colorful teapot. This is an excellent place for a ladies luncheon or girls birthday party or any other fancy fun occasions. I will definitely return for more High Tea adventures!! read more

The food was great .entertainment was great ! Waitress and owner were so sweet and nice !

I was present for the birthday experience described in my wife's review posted here, and I am deeply disturbed by the owner's public response. Rather than acknowledging the numerous service and cleanliness problems we experienced, the owner attacked my wife's character, accused her of discriminating against a disability she knew absolutely nothing about, threatened to feature our family in a blog post and video, and warned her to "choose your next words carefully." Let me be clear: my wife's review never mentioned, mocked, or ridiculed anyone's disability. She simply described what happened during our visit. The owner has now confirmed several of those facts herself: our daughter's food was dropped and had to be remade, and the foot of a serving piece was placed inside my wife's water glass. Explaining why those things happened does not make it discriminatory for a paying customer to mention them. The owner also made allegations about our family's behavior that are simply untrue. Nothing occurred that justified this kind of hostile and intimidating public response. Her attempt to portray a disappointed customer as discriminatory because she reported legitimate service concerns is deeply inappropriate. Our complaint was never about feeling "entitled" to free Pop Rocks or special treatment. It was about the overall experience: the restaurant had not been properly reset following an event, supplies remained on tables, we had to request utensils and napkins after tea was served, our food arrived at significantly different times, contaminated water was not promptly replaced, the restroom was out of toilet paper, and nothing was done to acknowledge the birthday despite the restaurant being told why we were there. Taking home food we had already paid for does not erase any of those problems. A professional business owner could have apologized, acknowledged that the restaurant fell short, and invited us to discuss the experience privately. Instead, she responded with personal attacks, unsupported accusations, public threats, and language that appears designed to intimidate a customer into silence. I would encourage prospective customers to read the owner's response to my wife's review in full. It reveals far more about how this business handles legitimate criticism than our original review ever could. read more

The ambiance is fantastic! It a great place for celebrating a birthday or engagement. Make sure the owner sings for you, she has a wonderful voice. read more

Brought a guest to surprise her for her birthday. Both she and I have special Gluten Free needs medically. We enjoyed the salad with chicken salad and tuna salad. Complimented with a slice of very good gluten free bread. Alana and Forbes, part of the talented staff were very attentive. Forbes particularly serenaded us with his throwback style of music we loved. It was relaxed, fun, and delicious. Looking forward to treating another friend to a special experience for her birthday. read more

This place is adorable. It has an immersive decor perfect for Instagram. They offer high tea, but we opted for lunch menu items instead. I selected the Tuscan chicken soup and quiche and my friend had the chicken salad on a croissant with lentil soup. We will have to try the high tea next time. read more

We were a large group. Some had been here before and did not like the experience but wanted to go with the group. The teapots were not replenished in a timely manner. I wondered if the same teabags were reused as the pots did not appear to be filled up. The desserts were mini muffins, cookies and small slivers of chocolate something. I think they came from Costco or the supermarket. The quiche was served in slivers that fell apart when you tried to pick them up. A person who had been there previously said they were frozen when she was there and not defrosted all the way. Maybe another Costco item. The sandwiches were skimpy but I think that might be normal. Not sure. The scones looked like they were home made. So, go for the atmosphere and not the food. read more

My 39 yr old daughter and I stopped in for afternoon tea. We had such a delightful time together. Hats were available to pop on to add fun to the experience. The food was delicious and plentiful. We look forward to returning. Looking for a fun meal ... try booking a table with the special people in your life. I think they have special events planned so reach out to find out. read more

If you want to be mesmerized by a fun environment, great service and amazing home made food don't miss visiting Alice Teacup in Delray Beach... it's more than just a High Tea place. Christina is the new owner and she has been able to recruit a team of wonderful ladies who not only serve the clients, but they cook, bake and even entertain you with their soft and melodic voice to romantic tunes. They are also great contributors to local organizations like the Rainberry Bay Women's Club in Action, where we recently hosted a group of 42 women who walked away praising the restaurant and all about it. Don't miss it! read more

I was surprised at how disappointing this experience was based on prior reviews. This was our first time visiting this restaurant and we had a reservation. My family took me here for my birthday especially because I love afternoon tea and told our server it was my birthday. Nothing was done to acknowledge my birthday. They had just had a large event and they hadn't cleaned up the restaurant and there were supplies and other items out on the tables. We had to ask for utensils and napkins after we had already been served our tea. Our food did not arrive at the same time and when my daughter's food finally arrived, we were told that they had dropped her food and had to remake it. When my food arrived, the chef put the foot of the tray in my water glass and I had to ask twice to replace it. Then they did an event planning consultation with two people at the table next us during our entire meal which was distracting. They told my daughter that her Shirley Temple usually had Poprocks with it but they were out and then did nothing to make it up to her. It was obvious that they didn't care much about our business or that it was a special day. I read other reviews about them offering party hats and other special touches but none of that happened. Also, the bathroom was out of toilet paper. This restaurant can truly use better management all the way around. read more

Once I walked in, the place was very whimsical and it looked like I was transported at the tea party in Alice in Wonderland! Very cute! A few adjustments could have been made with the restaurant: 1)The seats were so close together that we were elbow-to-elbow with each other that it was very uncomfortable to eat and pour the tea. 2) The server informed us that the restaurant was under new management and the menu online was completely different from the menu in-house, including the food prices. 3) I ordered the Quiche of the Day. The quiche was so over cooked that the fork couldn't go through the cheese and the crust. I notified the server about this and she offered an alternative which I accepted and the dish I ordered was better. Thin sliced turkey breast with marmalade and Brie. The turkey however looked like deli sliced turkey meat from a package. The entree came with a cup of soup or side salad and I had the curry chicken soup. The taste was fine but the chicken tasted like and had the consistency of canned chicken. 4) When it was time for the check, separate checks were given to each of us at the table but the server didn't come back for 15minutes (mind you, the lunch hour was done at this point. It was 2:45pm and there were only 3 small tables of customers). I went ahead and went to the cashier part of the restaurant and no one was at the window. One person, who didn't seem like she worked the front of the house, was fidgeting with utensils and I asked her if I can go ahead and pay. She asked if Lizzy was at the front. I said "I don't know who Lizzy is but there's no one here". Next thing you know, three people came out from the back of the kitchen and two of them were the servers. Did they really leave the front of the house unattended? And when we paid with credit cards, the server had the mobile card reader and she automatically chose the tip option for us. As in, we weren't given an option to choose how much to tip because she did it for us. Very strange. Long story short, this place could use some improvement. Will I come back here? No. It's my first and last time eating at the restaurant. read more

I had the best brunch with my 11 yrs old Granddaughter. The food was fresh and delicious. My scone was still warm. We got the tiered plates. Hers is the Princess one and mine adult size. All delicious. Served with salad or soup, again delicious. Would highly recommend!!!! read more

The food was delicious and the service was great! The inside was warm and welcoming A fun place to go for a relaxing lunch read more

Perfect place for a cup of savory tea or a fun birthday gathering. They provided great service and food for our party.

We were a group of eight ladies for high tea!! It was a fun afternoon The food and atmosphere were awesome and the service was hands on. We took a lot of fun photos with the hats and crowns they have hanging through the cafe. We will be back! Laurie and the ladies were very attentive and accommodating! read more

This is a nice café for a walk in lunch. The ambiance is lovely and the food is good. It is not a good place for an event . We did not have a contract and management kept changing our event to accommodate other patrons . read more

I was very excited to have my high tea for 10 at Alice's Teapot based on the wonderful reviews. My reservation was mishandled twice, resulting in our group of ten being left without the lunch I so carefully planned with Christine. Christine was accountable for the error but that didn't help. I was left standing there with 10 women. I didn't even receive a call back to apologize nor an invitation for us to come back for our event. So disappointed! Response to Alice: Hi Alice, thanks for your response but please state what actually happened. Yes, I was very excited to have the Alice Room. What we were presented was the round table added to the rectangular table to accommodate our group. That table set up was very awkward. Also, we were offered a 20% discount on the mimosas and nothing else. Please continue to enjoy your restaurant and perhaps make more of an effort to track your reservations. read more

Unbelievable atmosphere. Very good food. A delightful experience. Excellent service.

I saw an ad in a mailer of random ads I received. I enjoy teas, so I gave them a call and asked the questions I had. It sounded like a place I would enjoy. So, I headed to Alice's Teapot Cafe for High Tea. I was greeted right away and found a seat. I had a pot of Chai Tea with a bit of honey and cream to start. I was served a small fresh salad with a homemade dressing. Then, the finger sandwiches (Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, & Cream Cheese/Cucumber), two small Scones with Clotted Cream and Preserves, a small bunch of seedless Red Grapes, and some homemade Pastries. It was quite a bit of food, and I enjoyed everything. I took my time, and finished the entire pot of tea. I felt relaxed and sated. The cafe is decorated very nicely. There was a mural of flowering trees on the wall next to me, with actual branches and flowers coming out from the wall. Very cool. The ceiling was decorated as well. The server was very attentive and friendly. There were some oversized dining chairs, and sweetly decorated tables. A white British phone box and lots of other adorable touches. I will definitely go back. read more

Went with 6 friends for High Tea. A delightful experience, waitress was so helpful and accommodating, the owner came by and said hello, the hostess checked on us several times. She has a lovely voice and sang a song for the full dining area. You could tell the food was made fresh; it was arranged artfully on a three tiered stand that every three or four people shared. The scones came hot with clotted cream and jam, the quiche came warm. The sandwiches were cold, the little pastries of assorted kinds were delicious. Everyone got their own pot of tea chosen from at least 12 different varieties. Everybody had a different teapot, a different teacup different plates. It was charming. We all left well fed and happy. There was a table of women near us that was very unhappy with their experience and did not seem to accept any solution that was offered. They were vocal and rude. The hostess was very apologetic to us about that and gave us a generous compensation for dealing with the atmosphere. We would have happily paid full price, but appreciated her kindness. This is a place with a fun atmosphere either very interesting decorations art fully done. The Queen of Hearts would be proud. read more

Decided last minute to give it a try. Without prior notice they were able to put together a gluten free high tea for my daughter. Very impressive. Waitress Heather was a hoot. It's a bit pricey, but worth it. read more
