I've been 5 times to England and this is the closest you'll ever come to high tea on this side of the pond! Every review you will read, every photograph posted, express how absolutely fabulous a tea room it is and they are spot on. From the moment you make your reservation online, to the Host Brad, you walk in to a place like you've never seen - so beautiful. Each room has it's own personality, beautiful bone china, gorgeous fabrics and lace, so ultra feminine of a time gone by. With a lovely printed menu of SO many teas to choose from and fabulously prepared scones, clotted cream and jam, finger sandwiches and treats. I brought my MIL here for a surprise birthday celebration and she loved it. Have another reservation to bring a GF for her birthday...so I'm looking forward to going again! Go, step back in time and relax. You'll definitely want to go again. read more

My wife and I come here whenever we can. It is lovely for tea. The selection of teas is amazing, the foods are delicious; fresh and seasonal. Just the right amount of sweet and savoury to go along with your selected pot of tea. read more

What a wonderful spot for Afternoon Tea! Thank you for being open during these had covid times. We felt very very safe with spacing and all the protocols they are taking. Afternoon Tea was delicious. The scones, while sweeter then I like, were absolutely scrumptious. The sandwiches were delicious and fresh... my favorite was the monthly special ham mango and ginger Stilton sandwich. Desserts didn't disappoint either! Can't wait to go back post Covid. read more

What a beautiful place for tea! We were seated in our own semi private room that was decorated beautifully, what a special place to have tea with my aunt and mother. The tea and food were also fabulous. I am leaving 3 starts because even with the beautiful decor and great food we felt extremely uncomfortable throughout the tea. We had a gentleman who was assisting us throughout our tea, you ring a bell when you would like assistance during your tea, and he left a sour note on our afternoon at every interaction. For example we would have loved a photo together, but the thought of even asking him made us all uncomfortable. Additionally, we felt that any questions we had were unwelcome and we were being a bother. Overall a bummer of an afternoon that we were all looking forward too. read more

Unfortunately this high tea was very disappointing. The service was truly rude. As a chef and hospitality professional, I was truly saddened. read more

My friend and I have been coming to Fancy That to celebrate our birthdays for several years now, and it is wonderful every time! Sarah and Brad are so welcoming, and the food is delicious. The tea rooms are quiet, relaxing, and beautifully decorated, especially around the holidays. We look forward to our birthday tea times every year! read more

This place is a real gem. It's so fun to bring new friends along and watch them react. Love visiting and seeing other visitors dressed up. It's just a treat to go there in every way. read more

Had a wonderful afternoon with my mom. We love high tea and this did not disappoint. So many interesting teas to choose. I had the dirty chai! And my mother had the Kettle Corn. Everywhere you turn there are tea cup and saucer, life size cut out of Queen Elizabeth, all sorts of tea treats that can be purchased and a ton of pink!! The scones and tea bread were delicious. The assortment of tea sandwiches were just the right size and great flavors. I especially enjoyed the bacon and scallion one. Ending with a nice assortment of treats hit the spot. Book in advance as we had been trying for a date over the holidays but could only get a date in February. Definitely would come back with my daughter. read more

While I have been to some much more expensive (and pretentious) teas both in Boston and Chicago, 'Fancy That' in Walpole, is better than them all! Never mind the flavor, quality and price of everything you eat, the often time's better and vast selection of teas, and the quaintness of this lovely establishment, the hospitality and perfectionism of it's owners, Brad and Sarah surpasses them all and makes for a much more intimate and fun experience that should not be missed. Thank you Fancy That, for the wonderful experience you provide every time I've been there! read more

Wish I could give more stars. Fancy That is so charming. The tea menu is extensive, and our choices were perfect. I had Sugar Plum Fairy, and my daughter chose the lemon curd. We also added some mulled wine sangria. Food was scones, tea cake, tea sandwiches and sweets. Best chicken salad I've ever tasted, and the turkey with mayo with black truffles was wonderful. The desserts were divine - hot chocolate mini cupcakes, cotton candy macarons and chocolate peppermint parfaits. It was my daughter's birthday, and there was a "crown" on top of her teacup. The service was impeccable. I love that you can buy some of the teas you enjoyed. Definitely, going back soon ! read more

We go to "Fancy That" tea house as often as we can! It's an incredible experience. There are 3 of us, representing 3 generations (no children). We are always welcomed warmly by Brad and Sarah, who makes sure that all of our needs are met. They have an expansive tea selection and the sandwiches and other sweet goodies are to die for! It's very relaxing. They also sell teas and other offerings that aren't usually found elsewhere. We look forward to seeing them soon! read more

Had an awesome time here! Took my mom for her 63rd birthday! She loved it and had always wanted to go there! Our server Brad was polite and friendly as ever! The food was so yummy and there were almost too many teas to choose from! I got the pomegranate oolong, it was so good! Highly recommend! We will be back! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, then I would! I visited yesterday for the first time. My family and I were greeted at the door by one of the owners, who welcomed us and escorted us to our table. The place smelled WONDERFUL! When I asked what the smell was, I was told that it was the birthday scones being baked freshly for the day! The tea selection was impressive and included little descriptions of what each one tasted like. The finger sandwiches and treats were delicious. I have already set up my next reservation to go back. I highly recommend! read more

This is just a great experience in a lovely setting . My daughter reserved this as a Mother's Day gift and we enjoyed a lovely tea luncheon on a recent Thursday. The hostess and waiter are knowledgeable and personable and the setting is perfect! We had a window seat in the front room which was delightfully bright and cheery with crystal and pink chandeliers and beautifully set tables. There is a huge selection of teas, all three of us enjoyed our selections. Then our luncheon was served. Delicious raspberry white chocolate scones with clotted cream of course! Also a small slice of blueberry bread. Our sandwich selection equaled on full sandwich and featured cucumber with chive cream cheese on a country white, a chicken salad with raisins and a caprese filling in tomato basil bread. All were delicious and filing. The final layer of our tea server was a trio of yummy confections: a blueberry macaroon, a mini strawberry shortcake and finally a mini red velvet cupcake. What a special afternoon! I've had tea in London and this was as authentic as they come. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to return soon read more

I absolutely love this place, I bring my mother and mother in law all the time. It's a wonderful relaxing place. The tea and snacks are absolutely delicious read more

Had a lovely afternoon here today with 3 of my friends! The food was great! Loved the set up and display of everything. The Sugar plum fairy tea was wonderful! Service was great. We sat at the window table. Loved that not everything matches, yet it coordinated very well. We had a great afternoon and definitely will be recommending this to others! Hope to return again! read more

Still an amazing experience! Sarah and Brad are great! Nothing compares to the atmosphere and service they provide. I cannot wait to continue coming here for years to come. read more

Fancy That is a delightful way to spend an afternoon. When you compare the Fancy That tea room to the tea room up the street in Foxboro, there is really no comparison. The owners are so friendly and charming, clearly invested in their business and ensuring that the guests have a great experience. It can be hard to get a reservation, especially for a large group, but Sarah will do her best to get you in. So plan ahead. Tea selection is large, pastries are really good, especially the scones with authentic Devonshire clotted cream. (That's the way to spot a true English tea from the wanna bes.) So glad this wonderful little business is in my town. But it's worth a trip from anywhere. read more

Wonderful shop and experience! My first visit was this past weekend to celebrate the birthday of a friend and I couldn't have been more impressed with the afternoon tea spread and wonderful selection of specialty teas! There is something for everyone! Sarah and Brad are as cute as they come and wonderful hosts to guests! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I celebrated my 17th birthday here and it could not have been better! The service was amazing the food to die for and the space was inviting. My friends and I got a few weird stares from other customers because we were dressed up but the owner said why not have tea in style? There were many choices of delicious teas and we all (6 of us) got a whole pot already steeped to perfection. I hope to go back here soon. The thing that I found made me laugh was a pink bell that you rang to get serviced. read more

High Tea Service is one of my favorite things to do. Fancy That is the tea house of tea houses! Personalized service from Sarah and Brad, with an extraordinary setting. Vintage Victorian in modern times. The food is carefully thought out, and always a sandwich of the month. Dessert of the month. Carefully crafted recipes, and tea is always served steeped with a cozy. There may be 30+ teas to choose from at any time. The setting is just amazing, as you are surrounded by the gift shop - always well stocked with tea, and accompanying delights. Compote, sugar cubes. Real clotted cream for your scone!! Your setting is vintage china. Sarah stated out renting china for weddings and showers before starting the tea house. I have been to other high tea services in MA. The charm and effort of Fancy That is simply outstanding. I live an hour away, and we have tea 2-3 times a year. The experience is unique, fun, and Sarah and Brad's charm make one feel right at home. Don't forget to dress Victorian and wear your fancy hat!! read more

My mom has always loved tea parties and grew up with an English influence living in Bermuda while it was still a part of Great Britain. I found this place on Facebook and immediately thought it was perfect. Sarah was so wonderfully and found a spot for me during the week I was home from the west coast, and was so wonderful and accommodating. It was one of a kind and a great experience for me and momma. read more

We called in reservations several weeks ahead of time, but it was well worth the wait! The free parking (with pink lines) was nice but the cute pink gift shoppe you enter into was even better. They had everything you could want or need for a proper tea: china, clotted cream, cozies all the way down to tiny spoons! But the best part was our private room nicely decorated with tea themed pictures and nicknacks. The gentleman who took our orders was knowledgable and well spoken. They had quite a selection to choose from. Our tea was served hot with sugar cubes (and milk on request) He brought over our food on a 3 tier tray with various finger sandwiches and sweets. We received jam and clotted cream to spread upon our treats. It was a lovely ladies afternoon tea, and I had a wonderful time catching up with an old friend. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Quaint, cheery tearoom with plenty of personality, complete with lovely touches - fresh flowers on the table, starched white lace curtains, and relaxing ambient music. Tea service is served by appointment only right now on the weekends - a treat for a special occasion. I loved the Earl Grey Lavender tea, assorted tea sandwiches, lemon poundcake and macarons! Cannot wait to go back. read more

Read and heard so many reviews that I was very excited to head down to Walpole. We walked in and were enamored with the lovely ambience. We were somewhat taken aback by our welcome from Brad , who appears to be the significant other of the lovely owner whom we met later. He was gruff and appeared annoyed at how we went on about the quaintness of the tea room. We were quickly ushered into a private room. Service from Brad was slow and frankly, annoying. He never smiled and was somewhat sarcastic. There's a bell on the table and we rarely rang it for service. When we did, Brad appeared annoyed when he finally appeared. Several times, he came in and asked if we had rung the bell when we had not. Bottom line, if you go, ask for someone other than Brad to serve you. He could have ruined our time but we did not allow him to. The food was not as spectacular as we'd heard, pricing is reasonable, the owner is lovely and the ambience is excellent. read more

I treated my mom to a tea date here as a birthday gift. She's been an empty nester now for a while (I am the youngest of my siblings) so quality time is definitely a better gift than a new sweater or necklace. The ambiance is beautiful. It's exactly what tea parties you have with your toys as a kid look like in your imagination. Gorgeous table settings, and decor. You can tell they're using a lovingly curated collection of china. The tea menu is enormous and very descriptive. Each person gets their own pot so there's no debating which one you each want to order. I liked mine enough (Smitten, a house blend) that I bought a tin of tea leaves to bring home with me. They serve a huge tiered tray of pastries and snacks that were wonderful (and very filling). We're both savory people, so I did wish there'd been a few more of the sandwiches and not so many sweet options, but regardless, it was all delicious, and enough food we both brought some home. The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive, without hovering. I also love that they expect you to linger and space reservations out quite a bit. We were seated at 2:30 and probably didn't leave until 5 but there was no pressure to leave more quickly. I thought the price was very reasonable as well. For two pots of tea and more food than we could eat, it was about $60 with tip for 2 people. While I wouldn't necessarily spend that every week, for a special occasion or celebration I was perfectly happy. read more

Absolutely wonderful! More than just afternoon tea it is a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the warm welcome you receive from the owners and host, to the interior decor and table settings, and finally the tea - everything is presented thoughtfully and beautifully. I went with my family for tea this week, the interior was beautifully decorated for the holidays. And as always we had a wonderful time. I have had the pleasure of experiencing tea all over the country and the world, this is by far the most special. Highly recommend! read more

I went in expecting treats and tea but I left with a new favorite place. They took their time with the details because everywhere I looked there was so much to experience. Each piece has a story and it shows that this is a passion and not just another business. I never drank tea the way it was presented to me here and I plan to go to other tea houses to see what they also have to offer. It takes a lot to impress me and this place didnt need to try to make that happen, which is mindblowing. I have already recommended to so many people and if this review helps please inform as many people as you can because more need to experience this passion. read more

Always a wonderfully relaxing time in a beautiful space to have a conversation with friends, amazing tea, and food. Some new additions to the decor; it is a must see. Brad and Sarah are excellent at creating such a beautiful space and delectable food. Can't wait to return. Highly Recommended for anytime you need to have some tea with friends. read more

Wow! What a beautiful little tea room! I have been here twice now and have had good experiences both times. The decor is lovely and looks like a fairy tale. I love that you are now able to reserve online, I was able to do a last minute reservation with my friend. I like that the menu has seasonal changes, it makes it more enticing to come back. The tea selection is excellent, tons of teas and varieties. I have really enjoyed both teas I have tried and they are steeped to perfection. I have done high tea in London and this place meets the standard! Would highly recommend. read more
