What the littlest tea room lacks in space, it more than makes up for in experience and charm! This is the perfect place to bring a small group of four or less for a lovely tea time experience. In terms of ambiance, this place is absolutely cozy and warm. The team even takes some time to refresh the decor seasonally. This tea speak easy is tucked away in Little Native Coffee behind a book case. If you knock, the tea hostess will let you in and show you to your table. You are required to make reservations in advance, but don't get discouraged you'll be able to find slots if you're patient even for prime weekend afternoon slots. Be sure to check for cancellations as well! There is a wide set of tea options, and the tea experience comes with a tower of treats. What I like about this place is that the food is not stuffy. Think southern inspired cheese and crackers with a spread of little desserts. I found everything to be very delicious, and left very satisfied,. read more

I had the best time with my spouse at the Littlest Tea Room, found inside Little Native coffee. There are several parking lots around and also street parking. I was able to find parking on the street. We did the full little tea and it was MORE than enough food and a lovely experience. I had the witching hour tea which was very cinnamon forward and delicious. My spouse had a green tea that was very tasty, and a bit more mild. The tea comes with sugar cubes and milk. The food was fantastic. Our sitting included (for each person) mini charcuterie, two huge scones, grapes, dried fruit, three dips/spreads, mini quiche, two macarons, a cake ball, cheesecake and lemon bar, and something else! We had to take the food home bc it was too much, and we came hungry! Oh and champagne! The owner Ashley is so kind and we had a chance to chat with her for a while. I loved learning about their business and the evolution of the coffee shop and tea room. I plan to return with my team for a team event this fall! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tucked away behind a bookcase inside of Little Native Coffee Co. is Raleigh's first speakTEAsy. My friend and I checked it out and selected the Full Littlest Tea experience. This is where you get 90 minutes to enjoy a glass of bubbly to toast the moment, a pot of tea and pastries served with cream and seasonal accompaniments. I chose the amber grove for my tea and really enjoyed it. We also both really liked all of the pastries. This tea room is a must visit and a reservation is required. read more

I believe I've left a review before to say how wonderful this experience was. My wife and I showed up but just before 11 and enjoyed entering the ambience of the littlest tea room. We really enjoyed the three options of tea cakes and the two teas we selected. Our hostess was a delight to talk with, and I look forward to when we can return. Excellent service and great for having a nice conversation. Our particular time we had the place to ourselves. read more

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

This place is so much fun! We went on a weekday to celebrate a special birthday of one of our group. We were provided with fancy fascinators and victorian gloves to make the event even more festive. We enjoyed several pots of the tea blends created by the shop. A nice touch was "deconstructed sandwiches", where we were served chicken salad, pimento cheese, and tzatziki sauce to fashion our own tidbits with flaky croissants, savory crackers, and little spinach tarts. Our second tray level included several different kinds of scones, including an asiago scone. The dessert level included macarons, madeleines, tiny lemon bars, chocolate cheesecake bits, and macarons. I would recommend making reservations with a big enough group that you can have this cozy tearoom to yourselves. read more

Awesome speakeasy style tea room hidden inside a coffee shop. We made reservation and had the whole room to ourselves. Our host was great and we loved his recommendation of the tea. Highly recommend the Floral Mirage Tea as it was sweet, fragrant and just delicious. The pastries and little snacks were store bought and not great quality. But the overall experience was fun. read more

Ambience is Very "Tiny Alley", London. It has quaint tea room feel. It's not gourmet but it is very good and it's authentic in style and presentation. If you ask them ahead of time, they will accommodate folks with dairy or gluten sensitive issues. My friend and I felt very special and like we were hiding a well kept secret . Don't have to be dressed to the nines. You could be ,or smart casual, but it's just fun, super tiny, and the entrance is one of the best part...it's within a tiny coffee shop. another patron was there with her young niece who was just glowing. read more

I treated my mom to a surprise afternoon tea. She was shocked when a bookshelf opened into a hidden cozy parlour! We had the little tea room to ourselves, and Ashley, the owner, truly pampered us. She was an incredibly gracious host, explaining the design and intent of the space and making us feel right at home. We enjoyed the full exclusive tea, which included our choice of fascinators and lace gloves. The witching hour tea was lovely, and we enjoyed the selection of treats - from toasted and buttered croissants with various spreads to scones and sweet treats. We also toasted our time together with some bubbly. Ashley took great photos for us, and we enjoyed every moment of our 90 minutes in the LIttlest Tea Room! We will be back for the holidays - if not sooner. Thank you for making a memorable and delightful afternoon for us, Ashley! read more

The Littlest Tea Room is an absolute gem!! My mom and I took my almost 5 year old daughter for tea on a Friday afternoon, and we had a wonderful experience! The server, Carter, was very friendly and accommodating. I needed gluten free options, and was given scones, tea cookies, madeleines, crackers and spreads, and they were all delicious. The space is so unique and cozy, and the service was excellent -- we will definitely be back!! read more
