I am a tea fanatic so we checked this place out at the recommendation of a friend who lives in…read moreBaltimore, and I'm glad we did. This place is a whole vibe - definitely a beautiful bright spot in an otherwise desolate Baltimore Harbor. They have an amazingly varied selection of teas - there were so many I wanted to try (I wish they didn't only offer the tea flight on Saturday). They also had a beautiful array of cakes and cookies and muffins and scones, etc. We tried a few treats (pound cake, chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffin) and they were all amazing! Everything was delicious and a perfect compliment to our tea. As a tea snob, I was very grateful for the beautiful tea mugs they used for our tea. This place is a whole vibe and made for a perfect Sunday afternoon!

It's a cozy spot in…read morethe marketplace and when you walk in, you're greeted with lush plants, r&b soul, and comfy seating, though it is limited. I loved that they had an area with books as well as a vinyl collection. You can purchase loose tea as well as have a cup or flight. I chose the apple chai tea with milk which was lovely and seasonal. The servers were kind and thoughtful. I will say that this is not an ideal place to work with a laptop as they don't provide WiFi in addition to the limited seating/electrical outlets. That's okay-come to unplug! I can't wait to go back!

I'm back with more Pillion reviews! This is my go-to study cafe if I can muster up any motivation…read moreto study, I'll come out here. As mentioned previously, there is extremely limited seating and table space so this isn't the place to necessarily study or work if you aren't coming in right at opening or just are plain unlucky. Regardless, Pillion serves as a nice place for me to sit and get some work done. They also now have a rewards punch card where your 10th drink is free! Yunnan Big Leaf Summer 3/5, this is a light black tea Roasted hojicha w/ salted hazelnut syrup milk tea 4/5, this just tasted like hojicha and was light overall but nice and warm Currant Events Soda 4/5, a citrusy fizzy soda Cranberry and Rosemary Scone 3/5, more rosemary than cranberry Decaf English Breakfast w/ Pumpkin Caramel Syrup and milk (hot) 3/5, quite sweet due to syrup, not very much English breakfast coming through, it was ok but not again Cocoa mint hot tea 5/5, I love mint tea, this is a more unique one as it's a blend of spearmint and peppermint. You will not taste the cacao nibs but it smells like rich dark chocolate as you get close to sip, feels v seasonal!! Butterscotch cookie 4.5/5, solid cookie, would have preferred over softer but this is such a small issue Cider spritz 2/5 let me start by stating I love fall and fall themed items, especially Cider. While I did enjoy the initial taste of Cider, it seemed to not last

They have SO many teas - it's kind of amazing and overwhelming at the same time. I ended up just going with one of their specials, which was an iced hibiscus tea - really delicious and refreshing on a hot day. I asked for honey as my sweetener, but it wasn't very sweet at all. This wasn't a bad thing for me, and you can always ask for more if it's not sweet enough. I also got two scones to munch on while I was there. They have a decent selection of pastries that I believe were all made by Maillard Pastries. They were both berry scones, though I can't remember the exact flavors. One was noticeably drier than the other, but I still really enjoyed them. It was a nice snack to have with my tea. Definitely a cute spot to work or study from with solid food and drinks. If I lived closer I'm sure I'd come all the time!

You were encouraged to switch between the flavors vs stay with the same type of tea. This was the first afternoon tea where received a fruit and cheese board, salad, chilled fruit-yogurt soup before receiving the warm, lovely scone and the three tiers of sandwiches and sweets. Many of the sandwiches had some fruit like a slice of strawberry or peach in addition to the meat for spread. The tea china and presentation were wonderful as was our waitress. I thought it was a great value for the price. There was one bathroom on the level. Parking was around the corner or we parked farther down the street.

My friend and I had plans for a granddaughters that fell thru for a tea event. I called this business right after they opened on Sunday morning trying to make last minute reservations. They don't normally do same day reservations but, we were blessed because they accepted reservations for 4. Our little ladies were so excited to go to the tea spot. We were all tea party dressed and ready. We entered and was greeted with smiles. Not only the staff but, also others that were dining complimented us on our attire. It's not a very large place. But, it was just enough. Nothing fancy but, we all had a great experience. We started with 4 different teas. I remember peach, blueberry, mint and I can't remember the last one. We enjoyed them all. My favorite was the blueberry. Nothing was rushed. It was a little busy for them so the food was a little slow coming out but, we didn't mind. Remember they accommodated us and we were patient with no complaints. We started with the sandwich tier, then the scones their and last the dessert their. The girls were just tickled. They even received a marshmallow treat and a gold balloon that I forgot to snap a photo. Great experience and I would return.

It was brewed perfectly; it had almost no bitterness and an incredible amount of flavor. Everyone in my party liked their tea as well. The food was also very good. I really liked the cucumber sandwiches and thought they were well plated The cups and saucers are also very pretty and well varied. My cup was a very regal grey on white transfer print with a silver rim but there were many different options such as a polychromatic floral print with a gold rim. They have lots of additional ceramic pieces on display which are very cool. Our food came on cobalt blue cut crystal plates which I think is a timelessly elegant style. Definitely if you like tea and/or appreciate fine ceramics and glassware you gotta check this place out

I was genuinely shocked at how soft and tender the sandwich bread was!! It honestly beat some of the fancier high tea services I've tried. The scones were also a standout: warm, flaky, and just really well done. The space itself leans more old, traditional, and rustic rather than modern or upscale, but that's part of the charm. What really made the experience for me was how welcoming they were to my two-year-old. They let her fully enjoy and participate, which is rare for a tea service setting. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and family-friendly without sacrificing quality.
