I first heard of Snapdragon Tea a month or two ago, and at the suggestion of my daughter, I decided…read moreto visit. I immediately appreciated the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and was then further impressed by the creative and tasty food offerings. So far, at the top of my list are the Mediterranean Sandwich and the Cucumber Sandwich... the Kolaches are pretty tasty as well. Given all that, along with the cute and inviting decor, I'll be getting my Sunday lunches at Snapdragon for the foreseeable future!

Super cute tea shop with amazing pastries, sandwiches, soups and more! Booked a themed tea to…read morecelebrate a significant event. It was an Alice in Wonderland theme with several pots of tea which we could choose the flavors and a host of unique and yummy appetizers, sandwiches and desserts. All were artfully displayed on beautiful platters. Tea pots and tea cups were adorable! They were great about accommodating vegetarian and food allergies. Highly recommend checking them out for the full experience or just some tea and sweets to go!

There are not enough wonderful things to say about out this place. The service was wonderful. Our…read morewaitress came in and explained how everything worked. There's a little bell if we needed anything. The waitress came in after each tier to give us the next tier of food. I loved that we got our own private suite. The decor was gorgeous. When we had signed up for tea time, I had let the staff know about dietary restrictions, which the waitress knew about. We also let them know that we had come for our anniversary, and the staff made it so special by having a cute little sign on our table. Every course comes with its own tea. Just the teas themselves were incredible. I couldn't have enough of the tea. The pot was kept warm as well on our table. All of the food was absolutely delicious. I also loved that the price you pay for the experience is the total price-tax and tip were included in the price. I would highly recommend coming here for a tea experience.

The Ivy Tearoom provides a good high tea experience with uniquely decorated private rooms. I just…read moreprefer St. James and La Quinta more. I think part of the reason for this preference is the disconnect between the expected and actual experience. With the Ivy Tearoom's unique private rooms (and price), I expected an elevated experience like St. James and La Quinta. The food is delicious but feels like what you would make at home. They have a suggested pairing for each course but you can switch it out for a different tea on their expansive menu if you would like. The tea was good but I didn't like how they used sugar packets instead of sugar cubes.

Overall: St. James is the most well known high tea experience in Albuquerque for a reason. Although…read moreexpensive, they make the entire experience worth it from service to food and tea. I have been to St. James at least 4 times now. The food is brought out on a 3-tiered serving tray, and there is a tea that corresponds to each tier. They bring out a new tea as you finish each tier. Each time, the menu has been delicious. I appreciate that you can choose your dietary restrictions and tea option (caffeinated, herbal, non-caffeinated) when you make the reservation. Generally, we have enjoyed choosing different tea options for everyone as that allows us to try multiple teas with each course. The service is excellent. Our server is always attentive and very nice.

Out of all the menus I have had at the teahouse this one I don't think I've had. It was very good…read more My favorite item was the mushroom fritatta. So yummy! I got so stuffed!! The teas as always were so good!! This has been a tradition for me and my mom for many many years. I highly suggest trying the teahouse if you never have. There is privacy and a feeling of elegance evertime you go and the menu changes every single month. ( I'll share my favorite menus in future reviews) It's a great place to go for special occasions and just because. It risks you away from reality for a couple of hours!

I stopped by Corrales Teas & Chocolates out of whim because I was nearby and had to wait for my…read morenext appointment. I quickly did some search arond the neighborhood and decided to stop by this cafe, because I had it on bookmark for quite a while. Plus, getting nice, proper treat sounded like a wonderful idea to me! From the moment of me walking in, the staff were very friendly, helpful and just welcoming. You can grab some items to go (and some souvenir items), or, if you make a reservation ahead of time (especially if you come with a large party), it's best to make a reservation. For me, I was so grateful that they even let me do the high tea, even with me just stopping by last minute! I loved that there were so many types/flavor profile of tea to choose from. Teh high tea also came with different snack items (from crostini and pie to sorbet and sandwichs) to go along with tea as well. I had a seasonal pumpkin pie tea and a peach & ginger decaf tea and it was perfect! A plus is that the price of the tea party is very reasonable. I want to say it is just about half as costly as other tea spots you might have heard of in town! I loved the calmness that I got from the venue..and great tasting food and drink that didn't make me feel so sluggish after eating and drinking all of them! I would love to stop by here again when I'm in the area or take my friend to check out this place!

Overall: Out of all the high tea experience, this was the most homely one. It felt like you were…read moregoing to your grandma's house and she made you tea and snacks (in a good way). If you want an elevated experience, I would go to La Quinta or St. James, but this is a great option if you want a casual warm experience. The food starts with a small salad and biscuits then 3 courses (small appetizers, tea sandwiches, dessert). The food was good. The scones are not traditional English or American scones but rather a soft almost muffin like biscuit. They were yummy but not what I would have expected. The courses come paired with a tea. All their teas were good and paired well with the food. They even allowed us to take it home in to go cups because we got too full to finish the tea our food in the last course!

On a trip to ABQ, I came here for a late evening drink while waiting for a friend. Lost Cultures is…read morea fairly quick walk from Old Town and has a parking lot available if you drive over. There's quite a bit of indoor seating and I saw friends meeting up for a chat as well as people studying or reading by themselves; so it's a very multifunction bar/cafe. Service was very quick and when I had questions about the difference between the two matcha teas I was debating between, the barista actually brought out both matcha tins for me to look at the color and scent. Their menu has been updated to have 3 types of matcha available and sadly I didn't photograph it as the photos here are the previous matcha offerings. Both matcha powders are a fresh vibrant green and one smells more nutty/bitter (the one I opted for) vs the other that smells more sweet. Hot Matcha Tea 4/5, this was great and I got some agave syrup on the side if I wanted sweetener. Price wise this is $$ given the size of the tea Sea Salt Chocolate Cookie 4/5, this was a lovely dark chocolate bitter cookie that paired well with the sea salt and the tea
