FYI - if you check in on yelp for the first time, you get a free pot of tea with an order of dessert - what a fantastic deal! Talk about ambiance - just beautiful from the walls to the the chandeliers to seats themselves. The owners definitely put a lot of thought into this tea place. When I first arrived, I was quickly greeted. The place was packed and I didn't have a reservation, but because my party was only 2 people, they were able to quickly find me a table. However, I would recommend making a reservation for larger parties otherwise, good luck getting a table on the weekends! There were many items I couldn't try because of food sensitivities, but they do have dairy free creamer for the milk series. They also mentioned the creamer is soy free, but may have to double check that again next time. We ordered the jasmine green tea - which I highly recommend. It was delightful! They bring out cubes of sugar on the side too. My friend ordered tiramisu (her favorite item at this restaurant) and a mini egg sandwich. I ordered the sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were a decent portion. We stayed away from the high tea because we didn't think it was worth it, it was definitely more on the pricier side. I would love to come back and try other teas and if they have any other gluten, soy, and dairy free items on the menu. read more

I've sat for lunch and am also fond of delivery because quality never changes. Weather whiplash is upon us all and work never ceases, so comfort food is a must. The smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich is my go to because it's smoky, savory, and peace incarnate in every bite. The hot lavender milk tea is another favorite because it's the perfect balance of sweet and floral without tasting like soap or perfume. read more

Proper Rose Garden - Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese with a P2. Hot Lavender Milk - Themed Cafes Near Me - Katy, Texas

Proper rose garden is a cute little spot serving tea, desserts, and small bites. I liked the blue cushioned seats and the many chandeliers. Service was great as well, and our food came out quickly. We ordered: - Proper rose garden set (choice of teapot, sandwich, and cake slice) - honeydew milk tea, smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, and lemon berry mascarpone cake - Fish taco - Boom boom shrimp taco - Popcorn chicken (spicy) - Shibuya honey toast - Peanut butter french toast - Lovely rosita I enjoyed the drinks we got. The honeydew milk tea was on the sweeter side and tasted exactly like honeydew. The food was better than I expected. The popcorn chicken was crispy, juicy, and pretty spicy! The shrimp taco was filled with so much shrimp and very flavorful. The peanut butter french toast and Shibuya honey toast were delicious as well. Everything else was ok. read more

Very cute tea spot! Service was good too! We ordered the potted series hot rose milk tea (I checked in from Yelp and got a free tea pot offer) We ordered waffle with cream, vanilla ice cream, strawberries, and bananas topped with Nutella sauce. Very delicious! And the rose milk tea was fragrant and tasty! It had a cute little fire lit under (the tea pot) to keep it hot. 10/10 read more

This place is perfect for tea and desserts. They have food too but the milk teas and dessert where the best! Super cute place too. I loved the milk tea pots: matcha and Lavender. On sugar level matcha do at least 100% and for lavender 50-70%. Not sure why our lavender was not as purple as seen online, but still very good. The milk tea cake is as delicious as it looks. For the toast I recommend letting is soak in the ice cream then eat....YUM! I will be back for just tea and dessert. read more

We ordered calamari which was $15 and the Tower was $60 included different pastries, tea, and a slice of cake. Personally, i dont think it was worth $60. Although the tea was good, the rest of the tower was lackluster. The egg sandwich had egg shells . The selection on the tower of pastries seemed to have been procured from costco (such as the macaron and the madeleines). The calamari was overcooked. The service was also quite slow and we had to wait 30 mins for our food. Also, their restroom needs work as far as sanitation. Both restrooms were pretty dirty with wet floors The chairs had stains and the floors definitely need sweeping. We expected highly of this place considering the ads we kept seeing and kinda felt bamboozled by the experience read more

Why aren't more people talking about the holiday aesthetic here?!? I was dazzled when I walked in. On a regular day, the place is gorgeous and perfect for tea. The sampler is close to $60, and that was a tad high for me, but not out of the ordinary as far as price structure goes for afternoon tea in the US. ***yelp check in offer is for a free pot of tea*** Thank you yelp! We ordered the lavender milk tea but I've also tried the rose and love both. 70% sweetness level is more than enough. The cucumber sandwiches were delicious and aesthetically 'tea time.' The fries were crispy and flavorful. The egg salad sandwich was honestly a let down. I had it last year and it was tastier. I asked them to make it pretty, and as you can see, it was not pretty. read more

Had a great time catching up with my best friend at Proper Rose. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the food but here are the items I got to try: Matcha Cake - overall okay, I wasn't blown away but it also enjoyed it. I don't eat very fast so the cake was kind of collapsing and we were chatting. She had a chocolate cake that I didn't try but we both agreed they were just okay. Fish Sauce Spicy Wings: they warned me they are very pungent and they were lying haha. Luckily I cook with fish sauce a lot and was prepared. It was definitely worth the smell though. I enjoyed the wings a lot and they were pretty big! Very flavorful, definitely spicy and messy but great for me Matcha Milk: the matcha was god, but I wish it was more flavorful, like the cake. Lavender Milk: SO GOOD. I was surprised how much I liked it, we ordered a second. Very floral but not overpowering at all. The restaurant was small and cute and the staff was extremely attentive, friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend this place for a small group or hang with a friend! read more

update: thank you Michael for responding to the feedback and addressing. Adding one star back to the review as my feedback was quickly addressed the same day. --------- Charging a gratuity service of 18% for 3 people is absurd when after they dropped off our food, we couldn't find anyone to refill our water. We were so thirsty! No one came to our table to ask if we needed anything or to refill water. The ambiance was cute but it was a bit loud since there were a lot of people in a small space. This place is definitely felt tight. Too small of space with a bunch of seating crammed. You can't get into your seat without having to push the table around if you're seated in a booth. Probably wouldn't be coming back here again. Also, this place isn't baby friendly ~ there is not a changing station in the bathroom and no where to place strollers. The food was ok - the fries, popcorn chicken and potstickers. Fries and Popcorn chicken flavor was good but the fries were soggy & the popcorn chicken was more batter than chicken?? but it tasted good. Potstickers, i've had better. I think the bowl they put it in made it soggy and hard to get out - maybe put it on a plate instead? The tea was probably the best things we ordered .. we got hot rose milk tea and then iced Crème Brûlée milk ... both teas were really good.. would get the teas again. read more

Great tea (you can change the sugar level ) we had honey dew and the rose. The dragonyaki was cute. The kids liked it. The Thai toast was good but didn't taste like Thai tea. The tea snack tower I don't recommend. It's like generic store bought pastries. Order a la carte is better. Service is good. Price is good. Cute place. read more

Beautiful ambiance. Delicious food. Friendly service. This little tea place really has it all. Are you like me and you love the concept of high tea but find British food sorta gross? This Asian fusion high tea is PERFECT. The food is actually so good, they have every type of tea you can dream up, and everything is just so cute. Pretty quiet on weekdays too, I got a table right away. Perfect for date nights or even bridal showers. Rare combo of being insta worthy but the food is actually so tasty too. read more

This place is definitely a cute girly experience. We ordered the egg salad sandwich and pork tonkatsu sandwich which were both so yummy! I love katsu sandwiches and this one definitely met expectations. The vanilla milk crepe cake had a unique aftertaste to it that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but nonetheless, I loved it. We ordered the proper rose garden set which also came with assorted pastries and peach and melon tea. Scones are usually hard, which I do not like. I was pleasantly surprised that the scones on this set were doughy and warm. Not what a scone is, but I preferred it this way! The reason I am not giving our experience a full 5 stars is because we had asked to sit at a different table but were told it's only for a bigger group. 15 minutes later, a group the same size as ours came in and sat right at the table we wanted. Kind of not cool, but as an apology, we were given 10% off of our meal. Also, the bathrooms were really dirty and slippery. read more

Been here a couple times. A bit pricey but still a fun experience to have an "authentic feeling" tea drinking experience. Relaxed date spot, and I saw a couple folks with their kids here. Enjoyed pretty much everything we ordered: * lavender milk tea * taro milk tea * katsu sandwich * thai tea french toast (my favorite! but pretty much dessert) The only thing I'd skip ordering again is the egg sandwich. Wasn't bad, but for the price, it's not something I'd go out of my way to order here. Service was pretty good and parking is convenient in the area. read more

This food was disgusting. I don't think the popcorn chicken was even chicken. The wings were horrible. The only edible item that I had were the sweet potato fries. read more

Proper Rose Garden - The supposed " popcorn chicken" - Themed Cafes Near Me - Katy, Texas

Had high expectations for this place but was kind of disappointed when I walked in. It just feels like all the decorations were slapped on the walls and ceilings. Our server was a little passive aggressive to us and was impatient when we couldn't figure out what to order. We initially wanted the tea set so we could take pictures with the tower. It comes with choice of sandwich, regular cake slice (no other dessert can be sub), and choice of tea along with an assortment of pastries. We asked if there was a way to get the tower by itself without all that comes with it because we wanted to choose our own dishes to eat since the options didn't seem worth it for $60. But they said you can't get the tower unless you order the tea set so we just opted for getting the items we wanted along with a teapot. The food was decent. I liked the popcorn chicken and thai french toast. The sandwiches weren't anything special. Taro milk was pretty standard. My favorite were the cajun wings. I already expected the food not to be the best but I came mainly for the aesthetics and pictures and left quite disappointed. I personally wouldn't come back. read more

Fragrant teas and delicious finger foods, they really make a proper tea. The ability to adjust sugar level I do love the attention to detail. The smoke salmon sandwich is a taste of New York. The donkatsu sandwich is hot and delicious. The honeydew tea is a new item I have never tried before. It did not disappoint. I chose 50% sugar. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the afternoon read more

In Houston with friends and we always try to find Tea spots. We had a lovely afternoon at Proper Rose Garden. Not only did we have some delicious tea but also good food and mimosas. The place has nice decor and quaint tableware. We ordered the Proper Rose Garden Set which had assorted pastries and then you select what you want for the rest. For the teapot we chose the Honey Jasmine Green Tea, liked by all. Sandwich- we chose the House Egg Salad Sandwich which was my favorite of everything. For cake we had the Lemon Berry Mascarpone which is delicious. There were four of us so we shared and added food from there. The popcorn chicken and dumplings were popular with us. The Mimosa Flights were a hit, first time I've seen a presentation like it- so fun. We choose the pineapple, watermelon , lavender, blueberry, and original. We weren't sure if we would like the lavender but it ended up being our fave. Lots of cool photo ops with the cute decor. Service is good, our server was helpful and efficient but not as friendly as could be but the staff in general were nice. Good selection of hot and iced teas. We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday. read more

We had to come by before they close their doors in a few days. We arrived right after they opened, and the place was 80% full. The staff was handling everything efficiently. The chairs were a little dirty, but the food was good. Somehow, there was barely enough water glasses for every chair. The Popcorn Chicken (slightly spicy flavor) has always been my favorite as it's seasoned well. Some may think it's overcooked, but I like the chewiness and crunchiness of this version. The Potted lavender milk tea had a good temperature, which was warm enough to drink but not hot enough to burn your tongue. The lavender milk tea could only reduce to 50% sugar. While the color was more milky than I expected, the flavor and sweetness came through well. The Santa Fe Eggrolls (3pc) were okay. I expected them to taste like Chili's Southwest Eggrolls, but they were seasoned a little differently. The California Club Sandwich was pretty tasty. I wanted the bacon to be a little crunchier, and the cheese to give more flavor to the sandwich. The House Egg Salad Sandwich came with a side of arugula (no dressing). The fried garlic chips make it unique. I'm happy our last visit was just as good as our previous visits. It's been a fun place to eat and drink throughout the years. read more

I think this is one of the worst service we've ever had, I'm glad they're closing. We had to ask for plates and forks three times before we received it. Only got checked on once and that was only when we received one item that we ordered, after that we never got checked on. The ambiance is okay but was not really worth the hype. The food is not as good as expected. We ordered the thai tea french toast, it tasted very milky and heavy, barely any thai tea flavor. We also ordered the chicken katsu sando and the bread was ripping off from too much sauce. The only thing we might have enjoyed was the almond milk. read more

A big obsession for me has been having an afternoon tea similar to the way I had it in England. It's been quite a while since I've found a good one, but I was able to get one at Proper Rose Garden in Katy, Texas. First of all, this place was nicely decorated and had a pretty good selection. It is more of an Asian tea and small bites place, but hidden in the pages of its impressive menu, we found a Proper Rose Garden Tea Set. I have to talk about this menu item for a bit because it was truly impressive, starting with its not so cheap price. At $59.95 dollars for shared tea, this was difficult to justify for two people. So price wise, it was totally up there. I think it would have been perfect for, maybe, three or four people, but for two, it was a hefty price. However, it did have a good amount of food, including cucumber sandwiches, a choice of tea for a shared pot(I believe we had the Rose Garden Tea), a variety of little cakes, two scones and a choice slice of a regular cake. We even had some food to take home. Service was impecable at this place. We were hesitant, at first, because it took a bit to be acknowledge and seated. We did find out they were understaffed, and still managed to do nicely, given that the place had a good amount of people. In all, I was impressed with the food and service, although, I would skip the Garden Tea Set unless I had a larger group. Other prices were not bad and the food was pretty good. read more

Ok snacks. Service could be better. Water was never refilled took a while to be noticed and I had to get my own menu and had to ask if I could order. There were a few other customers dining in and I was hoping to get fast takeout originally. Since it took so long I decided to sit down. I'll try a different tea shop next time. Service could be improved. It was my first time and decided to stop by after seeing decent reviews on here. I guess at 7pm they were getting ready to go and didn't really want more customers coming in and slowing down their process? Maybe if it's earlier during the day service may be better. I'll stop by other tea spots that have snacks prepped quicker and with a smile on their face. I was told they would be closing soon around 7pm ish. Guess that's why they didn't want to give me a menu. Won't be back. read more

Came for the first time for a nice tea afternoon and was very disappointed. Inside is cute from the surface but the chairs and tables are grungy and dirty which is off putting. When I received my tiered tea stand I was not given clotted cream and jam for the scones. When I asked for it, they looked at me odd but then scrounged a metal container of cream and then 2 prepackaged grape jams. Really! Any good afternoon tea, these are standard and part of the tea. The final kicker was the bill, they dont take cash but charge you a surcharge for credit card usage and then I was charged $4 for the sad cream and jam. First and last time. Much better tea houses closer to downtown Houston and worth the drive. read more

We stumbled across Proper Rose Garden while browsing the area on Google maps and I'm so glad we found it! This place can best be described by British Afternoon Tea with an Asian Twist! Not only is the place really cute but the food and tea are scrumptious! We came on a Sunday afternoon without a reservation since we had just found it and only had to wait a few minutes. Looking around you could see a lot of people celebrating birthdays and they were dressed for the occasion, fascinators, floppy hats, and all! We were just casual but definitely weren't the only ones. There were also families there just having a nice tea experience with kids. We got the Pork Tonkatsu Sandwich, Matcha Crepe Cake, and a pot of Oolong tea (ps check in for a possible Check In offer ). The tea came out first and I loved how they had cute tea pots with warmers and matching tea cups for each table. The tea itself was lovely and perfect for a cold day like the one we went on. The Tonkatsu Sandwich was also amazing and perfect for a snack to share between two people as it was basically a full sized sandwich cut into 4 finger sandwiches (so if you're hungry and in a group you can definitely get a few and try them all, British tea style!). The crepe cake was the star of the show and was absolute perfection! It was light, flavorful, and a perfect sweet note to end on! So happy we found this place! read more

Food - weird for a "Tea House" all the food was fried like a sports grill? and it wasn't tasty, just fried! Service - Waiter seemed new, we had to remind them to bring everything; sugar for tea, iced water, dressing for salad, silverware? Also, we ordered multiple appetizers and they painfully came out like 10 - 15 mins apart...my salad came out at the end of the meal, I thought they had forgotten it and as to not prolong my time there I was going to have them take it off the bill. I just got it to go. The tea was the only good thing.... Ambiance - Cheap dollar store flowers and ballons, filthy upholstered chairs which I did not want to touch. The bathroom door was so dirty...why wouldn't someone wipe it down or repaint. Cheap...cheap...cheap. Worst "tea room" I have ever been to. I checked website before getting dressed to confirm what the dress code was because "normally" a Tea room is elegant, not a kid filled , cheap decor dirty hot mess place. The staff was not even dressed professional, manager came to work in flip flops and t-shirt material short set, waitresses in worn jeans and t-shirts????? Comical! really.

I also tried the blueberry butterfly lemonade and thought that is was super cute but I think it tasted like normal lemonade. read more

First time here, I did an online search for the list of tea parties in Houston. The food and tea was a 10, but the service was a 5 out of 10. The reason why I say that, after I was seated it took 12 minutes to be acknowledged by the waiter and get water. It took 15 minutes to get an egg sandwich. I received in about 5 minutes the heated potted rose tea. Today is Saturday, and I went around 11:55am. I will definitely be back with the girls but it will be when they first open!
