The service is fantastic, everyone is so nice and the baked goods are amazing! The chocolate chip scones and chocolate raspberry cake are my favorite!!

I was so excited to discover this British afternoon tea spot in Connecticut! I got to go try it with my sister who also loves this kind of place. We had a fun time doing the price fix afternoon tea experience. The food was tasty and interesting to try. The tea was great too. Very fun experience and would recommend to others.

cheddar and chive scone
Melissa T.

What an amazing place. Absolutely loved everything about it and the feeling you get inside is unmatched. There is so much to look at and take in. We got a pot of Yorkshire tea, incredibly delightful. I got the cheddar and chive scone with eggs and ham on top. The scone was delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the ham is such a nice touch. I got a pastry to go and it was such a nice treat later in the day. The ladies who run this are absolutely wonderful.

Not gonna lie, my wife dragged me here and I ended up loving it. Place has a really cool vibe -- well decorated without being over the top. We got the mango cardamom tea, which I was skeptical about but ended up being really good, and the lemon blueberry scones were legitimately excellent. Owner was super friendly and welcoming -- the kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Charming tea room where you can enjoy your tea and/or meal indoors, outdoor, or take it to go. I love trying new foods and this place (for me) had just that. They also offer some gluten free baked goods. I had the gluten free almond bar and it was not only delicious but also spongie while both light and decadent. The decor inside is all things Brit. I was only able to do a quick pit stop but will definitely be back to sit and savor their teas and other items.

Excellent service and they were so accommodating! They were about to close but still allowed me to eat and enjoy my almond slice bakery.

Delicious breakfast spot but a bit pricey!…read more Food: we got a few pastries and an egg sandwich and they were really good! The coffee is also pretty decent Ambiance: this spot is generally quite busy so getting a table was a long waiting game! Especially a lot of children Service: decently fast Price: I do think it was very expensive for what you get

The donuts are actually very good. My review is not about the food…read more The ambience is very simple and basic -- tables with a couple of chairs, nothing elaborate or particularly decorative. It's best for one or two people, although a small group of three or four could certainly go. If you're looking for something casual and straightforward, it works. My problem is with two things: what happened during payment and the complete lack of accountability afterward. I ordered takeout for $18.25. The employee handling my payment entered a $2.04 tip on the iPad himself, turned it toward me and said, "just sign." I did not authorize that tip. My receipt clearly shows "TIPS: $2.04." Yes, it's only $2.04. The amount isn't the point. An employee should not be deciding how much a customer is going to tip. What bothers me just as much is what happened afterward. I called twice and left messages. I then emailed management/ownership with the receipt and documentation and gave them an opportunity to simply refund the $2.04. No call. No email. No response. Employees can make mistakes or bad decisions. Management's responsibility is to address the problem when it's brought to their attention. Ignoring the customer only makes it worse. And please don't respond now with a generic "We're sorry you feel this way" or "Please contact us." I already contacted you multiple times. If you're going to respond publicly, address what actually happened. Good donuts. Simple, basic atmosphere. Bad payment experience. Even worse accountability afterward. My advice: keep your receipt and compare it with what actually posts to your card.
