Had a lovely afternoon tea with six coworkers to celebrate a birthday. Tea was perfect! We could each order our own pot of tea.The food was delicious and there was plenty of different treats. From savory to sweet. The service was quick and very attentive. read more

Queen Mary Tea House is a "refined" fine dining establishment claiming to deliver an elegant and formal British afternoon tea experience. And certainly, you will get an experience, just one where you are deceived, scammed, and held hostage to your reservation. When calling to make a reservation for Saturday at 2pm the employee on the line made no mention of crucial reservation policies such as: Full meal policy. Each person in the group must order a "full meal". Cancellation fee. If you cancel your reservation within 72 hours of your reservation time OR if you decide to leave without ordering, you must pay a fee of $25 per person. The employee also failed to mention that the only available "full meal" during our reservation time would cost over $90 per person, leaving my friends and I feeling deceived and frustrated. This made for one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had. As there was no escaping the situation without incurring a $100 cancellation fee, we decided to stay in hopes of high-quality service. The food: 1/5: Miniscule portions, very dry baked goods, minimal ingredient sandwiches, and unwashed fruit. The scarce serving of fruit, especially the grapes, was literally covered in dust and dirt. The tea: The tea itself was a 3.5/5, and perhaps the only saving grace. We ordered the Alice in Wonderland Rooibos, Crème Brûlée, Darjeerling, and Raspberry Crème. My favorite was the Alice in Wonderland Rooibos; it was mellow, earthly, smooth, and a little sweet. Next would be the Crème Brûlée, with a delicious aroma and bold, rich flavor and an overall sweet profile. The presentation: The entire tea set was mismatched. In traditional, formal British afternoon tea it is customary for the porcelain saucers, teacups, and teapot to match each other. In the high season of afternoon tea only a peasant would be caught with a non-porcelain tea set, let alone a mismatched set. For such a "refined" tea house, being served a mismatched tea set and a metal tea pot was a slap in the face. For a better tea experience per $, just go to Tea Republik, an establishment that makes no claims at fine tea experience, yet outperforms Queen Mary's on all counts of business ethics and dignity. read more

A girlfriend and I decided to try the all-day afternoon tea set, and unfortunately the experience didn't meet our expectations. The restaurant was nicely decorated for Thanksgiving, with plenty of British memorabilia tucked into every corner, but the tables were placed so closely together that we were practically squeezed into a corner with barely any space. When the tea set arrived, I was disappointed. The food items tasted like they came straight out of a package and were simply plated on each tier--not the fresh, charming experience you'd expect from afternoon tea. The one highlight was their tea selection, which was actually quite good. What really soured the visit was the service. When we were seated, the server never mentioned there was a time limit for the seating. Yet partway through, we were abruptly told to vacate our table even though we weren't finished with our food or tea. I came for the experience, but sadly this is not a place I would return to. read more

I've been here twice now and it's the perfect spot for a celebration among tea enthusiasts. The decor changes seasonally so it's a great place to be year round. There are many tea options and the pot you get is quite big! There were many tasty bites and I actually wasn't able to finish it all! I loved the variety. They're also very kind and attentive, making sure we have everything we need. read more

Going to tea is a nice, whimsical and girly experience and this place in Seattle provides that. The food was delicious (the soup shot, sausage roll, and tea sandwiches) and we enjoyed the tea options (I got a black currant tea). That being said, they are overdue for a renovation and thorough cleaning (or ripping out the carpet and replacing with more updated surfaces that appear clean to the naked eye). It's not a cheap experience and I've been here a couple of times with no changes to their space. At some point it's going to be very obviously a rip off and we'll just pack our tea baskets and go for a picnic. read more

Came to usher 2025 out with the ladies in my family. They were all impressed with how cute this tea room was. I liked the Christmas colored sugar and the tea timer. Haven't seen that before and I go to a lot of tea rooms. I wasn't crazy about the chicken salad or cucumber sandwiches. Glad we visited but food is the most importantly thing to me, so I don't know if I'll be back, but it was a lovely afternoon with my family. read more

The Queen Mary Tea Room offers a unique afternoon tea experience where time seems to stand still. The decor is a delightful mix of whimsical and classic British style. Guests can sometimes be seen wearing tiaras and fascinators to celebrate special occasions. The space is small, cozy, and perfect for smalls parties. This is a very popular spot and I highly recommend reservations. I've visited this tea room numerous times and have tried items from the brunch menu, afternoon, and royal high tea. The royal high tea is the just the afternoon high tea with an added glass of bubbles, which I recommend for the additional $12. The afternoon tea experience includes a 3 tier tower of pastries, sandwiches, soup, and fresh fruit. The pastries include scones with chantilly cream, zucchini bread, white chocolate walnut brownies, and pork sausage rolls. For sandwiches, they have chicken almond with mustard butter and english cucumber with mint butter. They include a small sipping glass of carrot ginger coconut soup. In between the service, they also bring out a trio of sorbet with shortbread shaped like mini teapots. The experience includes a personal pot of tea for each guest. The tea list to choose from is massive and the steeping time depends on the type of tea. Not to worry, they do provide a helpful hour glass to help determine when the tea is ready. They will also offer to refill the hot water if necessary. My favorites are the Alice in Wonderland, Lemon Chiffon Rooibos, French Vanilla, and Queen's Royal Afternoon. Servers also walk around offering samples of other teas. Service is phenomenal! The pricing is on the higher end however this is a unique experience and I think it's worth a visit. They offer some dessert items, gifts, and teas for purchase. read more

Queen Mary Tea Room - Trio sorbet and shortbread - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been here multiple times & it is always a delight! The ambience, food & service are wonderful. (& much better than many significantly higher priced, "fancy" hotel teas I have gone to.) One of my favorite parts is the thoughtfulness of the decor, from the ceiling to even the restrooms to the teacups & glitter on the sidewalk curb! I especially recommend this as a great option for the children's tea - it is such a special experience, includes both healthy options & treats, & they are so kind to children. The entrees are great as well. We plan on coming back here for many occasions in the future! read more

If you want to feel like royalty, Queen Mary Tes Room is the place. I have no been twice and am chomping at the bit to see what next season's menu has in store. The room is filled wall to wall with British tea knick-knacks. The decoration for each holiday livens up the space to the next level. I always can't help myself but to go with a big pot of Earl Grey and the Afternoon Tea that comes with three tiers of savory, sweet and other deliciousness. If you're looking for a place to relax in the Seattle gloom, this is it. read more

This is definitely the place to bring a date or a friend if you want to impress them. It is a place of celebration an opportunity to feel like you're part of something special, because every thing that comes out feels like it was done with care and respect. From the tea selection to the sugar presentation, from the shots of soup to single bite desserts, fresh fresh fruits to the cucumber finger sandwiches, from the beef pasties to the cold sorbet. Simply delicious and beautifully served. Don't mistake their tea shop (emporium) for this tea room. They are just up the street from each other. Always need a reservation. Usually booked out on weekends. Packed: every table was booked. Despite close quarters the abundance of drapery seems to absorb sounds so you feel some sense of private conversation. read more

I love a proper team time, and I am so happy to have finally visited Queen Mary Tea Room. My husband and I went on Friday before Christmas and had an absolute blast. The interior looked like Christmas threw up in it in the best way possible. The room was cozy, festive, and truly set me up to feel the Christmas spirit. The service was fabulous; we showed up without a reservation, and they were able to accommodate us. I don't recommend this, I think we got very lucky. All the staff we interacted along the way was friendly and helpful. We had the full tea service, and left absolutely satiated and with a container of leftovers + an extra dessert. Each service order comes with a pot of tea, so if everyone in your party orders afternoon tea, each person gets their own flavor. My favorites include the sausage roll, chicken curry sandwich, cucumber sandwiches, and the most flavorful and sweet strawberries and blueberries. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Daughter's Birthday lunch was fab-u-lous. We all got something different I love chicken pot pie but I decided to get something different The chicken salad which was very delicious. My daughter got the chicken pot pie after tasting it I was very envious. My wife got the curried beef pastries no complaints either. plenty of soup and salads the only complaint was I was a little uncomfortable with my seating a little cramp and the waitress did not too often. Fun and delicious lunch though will do it again will do it again love you all. read more

The star of this review is the customer experience-- from the moment I walked in until the door closed behind me when I left, the staff was welcoming and friendly the entire time.

Really wonderful ambiance and selection of teas. It really is the ambiance that makes this tea room unique and special. Its location is off the beat and path in 55th and it is nice to see locals and various generations of families enjoying this traditional experience. The cost is pricy and you get what you pay for. The experience is very memorable. read more

Top Pro: Aesthetics and atmosphere Top Con: THE PRICEEEEEE Okay so the prices are absolutely ABSURD. I will say... I saw the reviews before I went, I knew it was going to be expensive. But I was under the impression it was around $70 per person, per tower. (for hi tea tower with all the cute little crumpets, scones, cookies and fruit) You guys.... It's around $70 for HALF the tower. I ordered two hi tea towers and when the waitress came out with only one tower I was SHOOK. I already prepared myself to pay for a $70 tower of over priced snacks. But I thought I was at least going to get my own and my friend was going to get her own. Also, I told them beforehand it was my friends birthday and they did acknowledge it.... But they did so with HALF A STRAWBERRY on a tiny plate with a single candle in it!!!!! HALF. A SINGLE. STRAWBERRY. THEY CANT EVEN SPARE A WHOLE STRAWBERRY?!?!? The experience was cute n all but this place is ROBBING you all. At least I got some cute photos..???? Cheers. read more

Came I here to celebrate my friends birthday. It's a beautiful place for traditional afternoon tea. The ambience and details are gorgeous. You get your own tea pot with your choice of tea and a 3 tier tower of finger foods. The customer service was great. The biggest problem was the food was very average except for their carrot soup which was very good but came in a tiny shot glass. We had rotten black berries with our 2nd tower that had misc fruit. There is only street parking which can be difficult because it's a busy street. You have to put your credit card info down to make a reservation. It cost $60 per person for some rotten fruit, small positions of mediocre food, shot glass soup was great and the tea wasn't bad but it's literally tea, you can't really mess that up. I remind myself that I am paying for the experience. But for $60 per person, I expect the food to be amazing. read more

This is a tea room steeped in the British tradition. As such, it's a unique dining experience and very fun. If you're into high tea; this is your jam. If not, keep an open mind. The entrance and decor set the tone and the mood, and the place was packed. It's easy to see why reservations are a necessity. The interior was decorated with tremendous attention to detail and the place was spotlessly clean. Our server was cheery and informed, walking us through the extensive menu and the specials. The list and variety of teas is impressive; definitely something for every taste. We had the Holiday Afternoon Tea for two; a triple plate tower of sandwiches, pastries, fruit and desserts. Think finger food with a lot of flavor and very well done. I was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was great and we had enough for take home bags for both of us. During the tea, servers came around with samples of other teas they were introducing which was a nice touch in addition to the pot of teas we had each ordered. I had the Mango Passionfruit. Our server placed hourglass timers on our table to enable us to steep our teas to the strength we desired. The table setting itself was tasteful and well done. The owner stopped by each table to asking diners if everything was to their liking. Nice. The full list of teas and desserts is reason to return. Their gift shop is across the street. If you do go, make a reservation for lunch or afternoon tea and plan to purchase afterward. read more

We always enjoy afternoon tea at Queen Mary. We've been coming to their establishment for years for birthdays, events and with friends/family who enjoy tea. The food towers are so cute and delicious, and actually pretty filling. It's also nice they can substitute some of the items for dietary restrictions. Their regular food menu is also really good if you don't want the afternoon tea setup. They have a lot cute and festive decor as well, depending on the season. And I do love how they have a tea emporium where you can buy the different teas they have. I only gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because sometimes it can feel cramped inside given the small space and how the tables/chairs are so close to each other when next to another party. The bathrooms have fun decor, but they're also very tight and narrow. It's hard to move around comfortably. Overall, it's been a great experience there. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for years! I've only done afternoon tea once when I first moved to California when I was 19 & was so excited to find one in Seattle. Finally, I found a friend mutually interested in trying afternoon tea out with me so she made the reservation & we finally came in today. First off, it's really crowded/cramped so be prepared for that if your claustrophobic like I am. Also, don't mistake the tea shop / gift shop as the actual restaurant because that's what I did. The super flowery building is the shop & the blue awning / sign is the actual restaurant. Second, my friend was running a few minutes late so I got to sit & observe first. I saw the servers explain to other tables what afternoon tea is all about, etc. When my friend came, we weren't even given a proper introduction to how the experience works. We ordered a pot of Royal Rose tea... looked at the ONE afternoon tea course/set... I was all for the pastries but the savory was not to my liking. When I sat down I also noticed the bowl of sugar was not covered properly. I mean COVID still exists but not only that, I notice this place is "kid-friendly" & I can't begin to imagine... how many unsupervised kids might be putting their fingers into the sugar bowl because it is enticing to look at being all pink, sparkly, & tempting to touch if I were a kid. It may be my fault I didn't research the menu before coming but I really dislike goat cheese & cucumbers. There's no substitutions & again, no alternative courses. So we looked at the lunch menu... everything was meat-based, I personally do not eat meat... so my two options included a $30 veggie sandwich or a $24 meatless salad. We then asked if there was a separate menu for just pastries, our server brings us a metal tray with some desserts tacked onto it & after spending about 10 minutes waiting for our server to finally come back, we made our decisions & then she reluctantly lets us know... that because we made a RESERVATION, we had to order the afternoon tea OR a lunch item [each]. Is that ridiculous? Or is it just me? Again, my friend mentioned when she made the reservation, no where did it state for her saying that by making a reservation we have to commit to ordering a the afternoon tea set or entree. So we just let out a huge sigh, she ordered the soup & salad, I ordered a salad... I can't believe how much we were spending on some greens. Also, the server thought we STILL wanted the pastries... after our salads so I just wanted to double check, I told her after she dropped off our entrees, "just so we are clear, we are going to pass on the pastries we ordered prior to our entrees" ... her friendly attitude immediately turned sour & acted rudely after. The server didn't visit us again after... our "meals" were dropped off on our table... my friend had to go so we ended up walking up to the front to close out our checks... standing awkwardly. As first timers, this gave me the impression that they are just trying to rack up our tabs & try to squeeze all the dollars out of us. All of their entrees are $28-30... I don't even know what the portions are like but that's just ridiculous. They really need more vegan options as well. Not everyone is "vegetarian". Fun fact, I'm also allergic to cherry tomatoes, apples, & other fruits... my salad had cherry tomatoes. Too bad the menu doesn't explain what is in their "seasonal" green salad while my friend's salad came with apples. This whole experience was extremely disappointing despite all the 5 star reviews this place has on Yelp. read more

Whimsical afternoon tea in a lovely tea room, beautifully decorated. Outstanding tea selection (largest of any afternoon tea services in Seattle) with friendly, knowledgeable service. Tea selection 9/10, food 7.5/10, ambiance 9/10, service 9/10. As an opening to the afternoon tea experience, a fruit sorbet trio with a delightfully rich shortbread (perfect with tea!) is served - we enjoyed the trio of spiced pear, cranberry and boysenberry sorbets, with the spiced pear being simply incredible. A freshly baked, warm cranberry orange scone is served with Chantilly cream; jam and marmalade available upon request. Lemon curd available for $5. Afternoon tea desserts comprised of iced gingerbread, pecan bar, snickerdoodle (the perfect bite of chewy happiness!), cherry chocolate brownie. Fresh fruit was beautifully fresh, sliced and plated. For afternoon tea, would somewhat prefer individually handmade desserts rather than bar desserts. Tea sandwiches leave something to be desired, we loved the savory tomato basil soup which accompanied the sandwiches. Of the savory tier, the roasted vegetable quiche and sausage roll were outstanding, while the rest were rather forgettable (English cucumber with mint butter, chicken almond with mustard butter, smoked salmon mousse on rye). Reservations strongly recommended, as afternoon tea is quite popular and the tea room is quite cozy, frequently full. Afternoon tea is fairly priced at $58 per person on weekdays, $68 on weekends. The tea room is open Wednesday-Sunday 9am-4pm. Strongly recommend the Queen Mary Tea Room Gift Shop just down the street for a beautifully curated tea shop, filled with thoughtful gifts! read more

Don't get this confused from their Tea store! This one is the Tea Room- the dining area. It's a cute, small restaurant. A little bit smaller than I expected, but it's perfect enough for tea time for three. Tea was exceptional. I got the creamy early grey. I highly recommend it, especially if you're not too much of a tea drinker! We got the Afternoon Tea platter. It comes with sorbet TO START! We were shocked it wasn't given at the end; it would've been a good "palate cleanser." The entire Afternoon Tea experience, at first it didn't look worth the price, but we were sooo full and had leftovers! Our favorite was the savory pastries. Only downside of this place is the size of the dining area and the stinky bathrooms! Otherwise, it does a cute job for literally what it's meant for-- afternoon tea. :) read more

NOTE: Reservations are required! Plan ahead by at least two to three weeks. Due to limited seating, each party will receive 90 minutes. Ambience - 5/5!! Adorable brunch spot to visit with a girl and have and spill tea The attention to detail in the ambiance is astounding; Everthing including bathroom exuded a British atmosphere. I loved the plates and cups they use to serve food and tea. Food 3/5 - Had Veggie Garden with fruits. The food was bland overall, even though the fruits were fresh. Tea - 5/5 - A variety of options based on light, medium, dark, or decaf blends Service - 5/5 - Very professional, helpful and provides frequent check-ins Definitely suggest going once. read more

I really enjoyed this place. My daughter took me here for Mothers Day. I loved the ambiance coming in. Very girly and fancy. They had me wear a tiaria when I came in. Loved the atmosphere right off the bat. We sat in a beautiful decorative table. Lots of nice decorations around. I could have just sat here, soaking in the ambiance for my whole stay. We got the high tea. Delicious array of sandwiches, pastries and fruit. Tea was excellent. Loved the whole concept of a tea room. Lots of excellent products to purchase in their store. Bought some of their excellent tea. Have a fond memory of coming here with my daughter, good food and a wonderful experience. Love the creativity of the sandwiches and pastries. I have a good friend from England and I am planning to take her here when she visits. The whole tea time experience is something we do not have here. What a lovely chance to experience it here in Seattle. read more

When your only complaint is that you can't eat all the food, is it really a complaint? Queen Mary has put together quite an afternoon tea treat. Even when we recently had to add a member to our party, they graciously figured out a way to do and make our experience delightful.

There's nothing quite like an afternoon high tea to make one feel like a full fledged class act trophy wife. So obviously two of my work besties and I managed to all get a Friday off, put on our finest pearls and hats, and have ourselves some fancy tea. My friend has been telling us about it, and supplying me with Queen May tea as gifts the past couple of years to build suspense. Finally we all managed a Friday off and made a reservation. It can be a tad difficult to find as maps usually takes you to their shop down the street, but the tea room is a block up on the other side of the street. The room is decked to the brim overflowing with china and elegant finishings to make you feel as smug as the Dowager Countess herself. We were seated quickly and the server got right to the point of giving us a rundown of what was to follow. We each ordered a pot of tea..ermg there was SO MUCH TEA to choose from. And then began to enjoy our danties. I was quite surprised at not only how delicious everything was, but how easy it was to get gluten free substitutes and how much food was included. I was fit to be rolled out the door pearls n all by the time we finished and had a glorious time in the shop afterwards. Can't wait to bring other fellow tea obsessed friends to this place next year. read more

Enjoyed having this high tea experience in Seattle! Absolutely loved the coconut oolong I had during my afternoon tea experience. For the afternoon tea, you get a pot of tea (they have a huge list!) and an assortment of small bites and sweets. The cucumber sandwich or the salmon mousse were probably my favorite things. The food was okay for the most part and you'll definitely have left overs, even if you come on an empty stomach! You have to make a reservation a few weeks in advance. My friend and I were in a corner so sometimes it took a while for the waiters to come to us. The decor was cute and on theme with tea.

This is such a cute little place! Originally, it was just going to be me and my two girlfriends but two of our partners wanted to join, so we had to guys for the Afternoon Tea. The interior decor is unabashedly and undeniably British, so it sets the right tone right when you walk in. It was very packed yesterday and it was a little hard to get in and to get to our table. I think for bars and maybe some restaurants, that's ok. But for Afternoon Tea, I felt so congested and slightly claustrophobic coz the tables were so packed, the whole place was packed, it was loud and I couldn't really hear myself half the time. The service was very slow. This could be because they're just so busy and short staffed. But I took 20-30 minutes before someone got to our table to get our orders. They didn't really check in on us either. Now, onto the food. It was a hit or miss, and mostly misses. The chicken sandwich and the bite-size quiche were good, but not stellar by any means. Some of the pastries were not bad, but the others were bland at best. The fruits look like they've been out for a while so I didn't even want to touch them. The best part about the place was the tea, which is good for a tea place! I got the Black Currant; my friends got the Mango Passion Fruit (my fave), coconut, toasted rice, and one other tea that I already forgot. They also sell teacup sets and some other souvenirs. I think it's not a bad place but I don't really care much about going back. read more

Queen Mary Tea Room - CLOSEST: Curry Beef Pasties, FARTHEST: Smoked Salmon Quiche - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here with as a group of four for brunch on the weekend - very peculiar that they had different prices for food on weekend vs weekday. We all opted for different dishes - I ordered the two eggs, potatoes, and fruit brunch. $22 dollars for a very alright breakfast fare without any protein besides the two eggs. Seemed steep for what I got but I suppose I'm paying for the experience as well. The teapot you get is $11 and it is quite a bit of tea to get through. This price wasn't noted anywhere on the menu which was interesting. One of the waitresses was extremely lovely and pleasant and very attentive. The other waitress was the polar opposite - almost like our existence were an inconvenience to her... I hope she was just having an off day. Overall, might be worth a trek if you're into having some high tea with England tea house kitsch but I wouldn't necessarily go out of your way given the mixed service, very overpriced food, and a bathroom that wasn't well-kept. read more

It is with great regret it has taken me well over a decade to make my first trip to Queen Mary Tea Room. We had the most lovely time, the afternoon tea was SO FUN, a real break from reality and you're just transported into another world. Mary was a lovely hostess. I brought my 13 year-old son and my Dad for part of my son's birthday celebrations and we got the royal treatment. They're really welcoming to everyone. It is spendy but a treat. We ended up going back a few weeks later to the Emporium so my son could get some of the Alice in Wonderland rooibos he had at the tea so he can make it at home. We all really enjoyed it- very special memory. We're going back for my birthday! read more
