It occupies two storeys, with the first having a few seats and tables and a large serving area with glass cabinets containing pastries and sandwiches.

Otherwise the service is generally to a very high standard, with the staff being very pleasant and friendly to customers.

We had planned to have an afternoon tea at this lovely little café while visiting Newbury. We…read moredecided to go for a quick lunch, a couple days before the planned afternoon tea. Well, it was a good thing we did, since we didn't get to go back for afternoon tea... Just as the name suggests, it is located right by the canal. It was very picturesque, peaceful and relaxing. They also have seating upstairs, and had histories on the canal, with photos posted all around the wall. Their cakes looked amazing, but I decided not to order any dessert on this day. Yes I know, a big mistake! Our friend ordered Heavenly Hot Chocolate, and it looked so pretty! We went with Teashop House Blend Tea, and Earl Grey. The young boy who brought the teas (I hear this is a family-run business) was trying to very careful not to mix them up. But the funny thing was, he totally mixed the tea up! LOL. We didn't realize until half way through... I thought the House Blend tea tasted so much like Earl Grey. For lunch, we had Ham, Cheese & Chutney Sandwich and Eggs Benedict. They were both tasty, nice portion, and filling. Our friend went with something healthier, and ordered one of their vegan sandwiches. It is nice to have that option if you want or need vegan dish. We had a nice quick lunch here. It was adorable and cozy. The food was good, not amazing, but good. I think the sweets might be better than the actual food...I will never know, unless I go back! Lesson learned: don't never expect your plan to go just the way you planned them...and have your dessert first!

Really impressive collection of board games for all skills, ages, and interests. Staff are fun and friendly and make great recommendations.

What!? London quality independent coffee shop in the middle of Surrey!? What is the world coming…read moreto? This place CLEARLY doesn't fit the style, decor, and the patrons who regularly ply up and down Station Approach in West Byfleet, but I DON'T CARE! It's clientele are obviously younger, hipsters who live in Surrey and yearn for a bit of London's great coffee scene near their place of abode. The decor inside is a mish-mash of design favorites (see attached picture), and quirkly items - like a drum-set cymbal lamp, and old school whiteboard (that actually does rotate) that display's the fine selection of coffees at Taylor's. Nothing on this street is really all that independent, except for the JJ's Diner right next door. But this, this is a case study in the hopeful revival of the great British high street. Two flat whites, a flip through the Independent on Sunday... Oh, the coffee... Never did a flat white taste this good. It's from organic beans that are roasted on Brewery Road in Woking. WHAT!? A local roastery in Woking?! GET OUT! The flat whites are of an equivalent standard as the coffee shops in East London, but let me say, that there is something better about this coffee now that I know it's is independently roasted, it's not "Union" coffee, nor do I have to travel into London for a great place with a great atmosphere. I was slowly twitching to move back to London, but this place gives me one less reason to move back. I'll never need to sit at home on a Saturday morning trying to read my Monocle magazine with a cup of cafetiere coffee ever again. Taylor's you might have just saved my sanity. Kudos. See you next Saturday.

When planning our trip to London, I had a lengthy list of things I wanted to do and places I wanted…read moreto eat, and at the top of my list was to enjoy an Afternoon Tea. My sister-in-law is an amazing planner, and since we were meeting family in London for a few days, she planned a wonderful tea for us here at Tea and Tattle. This place is an old family bookstore that was then turned into a wonderful spot for afternoon tea {with still carrying on the feel and look of a quaint book shop}. Reservations are required since it is only large enough for two, maybe three seatings at a time. Once your party is seated, you will receive your menu and decide on the Tea menu that you desire {how many Teas, Sandwiches, Cakes and Scones - with a wide variety of each}. Would you prefer a Coffee, a Smoothie or a Salad? No worries, they have those options as well. Be sure to inform your host about any allergies as they can customize your tea settings based on any restrictions. The Hubs and I decided on the Tea For One - This included a pot of Earl Grey {or your tea of choice}, a selection of five Mini Tea Sandwiches which may vary {ours included Cream Cheese, Chive and Cucumber / Mature Cheddar and Chutney / Ham, Rocket and Red Onion Marmalade / Ham with Mayo, Mustard and Tomato / Chicken with Cucumber and Lemon Mayo Chutney}, Scones topped with a Delicious, Mouth-Watering Cream and Strawberry & Raspberry Jams as well as Lemon Cake and Mini Chocolate Eclairs. Each guest will also be served a deliciously tangy glass of lemonade as a final sip for the afternoon. Every single bite and sip of tea was perfectly paired and the experience was a wonderful way to spend our last day in London with the family. I highly recommend this experience if you want to feel a little extra fancy and enjoy a spectacular afternoon tea.
