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.

My mom and I have been coming to High Societea for many years now and it's one of our favorite…read moreplaces. We always have a great experience-we love the cozy, quaint atmosphere of the tea room. We visited today for the Mother's Day Queen's Tea. I called to make a reservation 2 months in advance since they book up so quickly. In general, reservations are recommended as seating is limited, especially on weekends. When you arrive, you are presented with a prix-fix menu. On non-holidays, you usually have a choice between the soup or the salad of the day. You select your pot of tea from over 60 premium tea flavors. Today, I chose the "Paris" special tea, which had notes of vanilla, caramel, and bergamot. For the Mother's Day Queen's Tea, we had the broccoli and cheddar quiche, a pear, goat cheese, candied walnut, mixed green salad, scones, assorted mini sandwiches, and several mini desserts. Every course was fresh and excellent. The caramel scones are one of the best things I have ever eaten. They are served warm with clotted cream and lemon curd. The caramel is so goey and melts in your mouth. We brought some orange juice and prosecco to have mimosas with our tea. They have glassware in the back that you can request when making your reservation. The service is always top-notch. Holly is the best server! She is super sweet and always hardworking. At the entrance, there is a little gift shop with lots of cute vintage items, tea-themed trinkets, and some of the loose lea tea available in small bags. We love coming here and hope to be back again soon. "Paris" Tea: 5/5 Broccoli & Cheddar Quiche: 5/5 Mixed Green Salad: 5/5 Caramel Scone: 5/5 Lavender White Chocolate Scone: 4/5 Mini Sandwiches: 5/5 Mini Desserts: 5.5

However this time that part was disappointing this time around. The sandwiches and desserts were just okay.

One thing I really liked is that there's a small coffee shop right next door, making it easy to grab a drink and relax before or after browsing. It definitely adds to the overall experience. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff was friendly and helpful, and it never felt rushed. Whether you're a tea enthusiast or just looking for something different to do on a weekend drive, this is a lovely stop that's worth visiting. We'll definitely be back!

We reserved a private room for our lunch party, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and personal. We started with pots of Peach White Tea and Salted Caramel Black Tea -- both brewed perfectly and a great way to ease into the afternoon. For appetizers, the Tea Cheese Toasts were very yummy, but the Okonomi Tater Tots absolutely stole the show. Tater tots with okonomi sauce, Kewpie mayo, furikake, and scallions shouldn't be allowed to be this good. Our sandwiches -- the Croque Monsieur and the Teagan -- were delightful and well executed. And then came the scones. Warm, tender, and served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, they were the perfect finish. Service throughout lunch was impeccable, attentive without ever feeling rushed. After eating, we headed into the shop for a tasting and some browsing. The tasting room team guided us through Winter White Earl Grey, Rose Scented, Scottish Morn, and Pu‑Erh, helping us zero in on teas we'd love. The shop itself is beautifully organized, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We've been fans of Harney & Sons for years, and this visit reminded us exactly why we keep coming back. Great food, world‑class tea, warm service, and a destination worth traveling for. We love this place and will absolutely be back again.

To start the woman who owns The Herbery is charming and is a wonderful gardener with a collection…read moreof over 100 types of teas. It's a very quirky place and has its own kind of charm. They do NOT have a restroom so you have to drive a mile either way if you have to use it. If it was an emergency she said you can go out to the bushes. Yes. This was said. This may be important if you're drinking a lot of tea. If you just want a cup of tea they will serve it in a to go paper cup. They use plastic silverware and paper plates. But if you can spent more on a pot of tea then you can get the nice china. So I ordered the pot of tea for more money because the my mother was having a different tea. So I only had 1 cup of tea and a big pot that I didn't want. I was told that they usually serve "Starbucks" style where you go to the counter and they give you a cup of tea to go ( even if the whole point is not to go to Starbucks but have lovely afternoon with my mother) The only way you get served is if you get the pot of tea. The treats ( cookies and such- no scones in this day) are individually wrapped in ziplock bags) Again if you don't mind a different type of afternoon tea experience and you are just there maybe for the atmosphere and don't need a restroom ( sorry I keep bringing that up but I still can't believe it) then you can indulge in these teas and the company of the lovely owner. It just not our cup of tea.

Great gift shop and tea house! Lots of tea, great scones, reasonably priced ornaments and gifts!read more
