    Fourtea
    Marissa M.

    I made a reservation for two on OpenTable to celebrate turning Fourtea at this quaint Speakteasy! I've been a tea connoisseur for many years now and dressing up for an elegant tea party is something I've enjoyed since a child. Why not connect with my inner child while celebrating a milestone ? The Littlest Tea Room is a quaint tea room located at the back of Little Native Coffee shop on N. Person. It's located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Raleigh. Parking was effortless just out front the coffee shop. I appreciated our hostess Hayley contacting me prior to our reservation to inform us that a children's party was wrapping up and she would need a few minutes to prep before we arrived. Upon arrival the baristas were very welcoming. Hayley provided top tier service throughout our tea time. The tea room or "Speakteasy" is tucked away behind a hidden wall at the back of the coffee shop. You are instantly transformed into a whimsical victorian meets southern charm tea room. I fell in love with all of details here. So magical! I was so captivated by all of the details in the decor for this little space. They even supply adorable headbands for you if you forget to dress for the occasion. The best surprise was finding out we had the tea room to ourselves for our Golden Hour. The privacy was a luxury ! We perused the menu and decided on The 60 Minute Golden Hour and started with a pot of the Witching Hour which is similar to the alcohol "fireball". Notes of spicy cinnamon. This was my favorite. Very strong and did not require sugar. Our tea tray was beautifully prepared. We enjoyed lemon macarons, chicken salad, pimento cheese spread, croissants, Madeleines, chocolates and dark chocolate chip cookies. My favorite being the lemon macarons, lemon clotted cream spread with Madelines and pimento cheese. We also had a pot of the Duskhaven tea which is more fruit based. It was very light and a beautiful pink shade to pour. My friend and I enjoyed catching up, taking photos as we came dressed in character. It's easy to lose track of time when you're whisked away into Tea wonderland. This is a must do while visiting the area. Special thanks to Hayley for her southern hospitality and making the celebration with turning Fourtea so special.

    I booked this a month in advance and it did not disappoint! The dark tones and decor made the experience so cozy and fancy! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The pastries and tea tasted amazing and it really made my NC trip!

    Lovely table setting

    We found this place accidentally while scrolling. This was such a fun experience. It is 90 minutes that you get to sit and just chill. The service was perfect. She kept our tea pot full.

    Tea for Two at the Littlest Tea Room was the perfect way to celebrate a special Birthday ! Located Downtown Raleigh, this tea room is tucked away within a coffee shop behind a hidden book case. We entered a room that was cozy, charming and decorated in a way that provides the perfect ambiance. We chose the Golden Hour , a 60 minute tea service that allowed us to pick a tea ( black, green or botanical) to pair with delicious savory and sweet bites. This place is simply delightful! I would definitely recommend all tea lovers to experience and enjoy.

    Lovely little hidden gem. Everything was delightful. You would never know what existed behind the hidden door.

It's a small space but there's plenty of outdoor seating (and I believe there is additional indoor seating next door). Loved my bacon, egg, and cheese croissant! Added a nice fruit salad too. Just love the vibe of this part of downtown Raleigh!

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

The shop/restaurant has really impressive murals, while still maintaining an almost simple and minimalistic dining area. I quite like it. They have plenty of tables, booths and high-top bar table to settle on if you choose to dine-in. I ordered a strawberry mango tea and a pork belly Bahn mi to go. I had customized the strawberry mango tea to 50% sweetness and 50% light ice. It was perfectly refreshing, and the Bahn mi was packed with flavor! I really enjoyed my order. Service could've been better honestly. The first person that was at the register came off a bit annoyed because I wasn't quite ready to order yet. It was my first time there so I really wasn't that familiar with the menu. The Second staff that brought my drink and food out when they were ready was much more pleasant. The first interaction put me off quite a bit, though. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes and drinks they offer. I think I would just make sure I already know what I'm gonna get before I even walk in.

The Crab Rangoon was the best of the items we had, lots of filling and the fries were crispy. Luckily, they did not have the Japanese spices available for the fries because if they were anything like the seasoning on the popcorn chicken, then yuck. The General Tso's chicken bowl was ok, too much of the sauce and it was HUGE! Teas were adequate. Service was lackluster and water requested was a half of a tiny cup. Bathrooms were not the cleanest, same with the dining area.

    Bittersweet has amazing desserts and drinks. I've been several times and each time I enjoy what…read moreI've had. A solid go-to is their s'mores sundae which is sooo good! The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

We were honestly a little overwhelmed by all the options, but he gave us an extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable walk-through of the menu, helped us narrow down drinks, and absolutely crushed the recommendations. The desserts were great, the drinks were even better, but Brandon was easily the highlight of our experience. He was kind, helpful, sharp, and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.
