This was quite fun. We had a reservation for high-tea and were immediately greeted and seated. There were lots of little knick-knacks and plenty to look at where we were sitting. It was pretty immersive with all of the dolls and the China cabinet full of tea sets. The server was very nice and helpful. I believe there are two servers that run the floor and it seemed to run quite smoothly. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed pretty much everything that was prepared and brought to the table. I definitely hope to go back again. read more

What a wonderful place. Easy to see they Love what they do. What a deliciously enchanting tea experience superlative to all other tea experiences that have come before, and there have been many. You see, I really don't like going for tea or well, it's more the spending a lot of good money on tea and ridiculous fingerling sandwiches and stale confectionary bits and such. I just don't ...but when you get a prescription for happiness, you fill it. And so, as it were, I've been to enough tea places to drown myself a few times over in tea and well, I'm often unhappy with the value. Lots of places like to cheat. So, I digress, of all the teas I've been to in all the years, I place this tea among the highest. Many thanks for creating a place where I can enjoy the experience as if I had been the purveyor myself. Well done. read more

Charming and quaint tea shop/cafe. Beautifully set vintage tables & chairs with coordinated tablecloths and vintage china. We ordered the High Tea and it was very filling. They also offer other brunch options. I would definitely come back for a special occasion read more

An absolute treat. I came here for lunch with my big sister and had a delightful time. It is very adorable here... with everything you could possibly want for tea time. Nestled in a beautiful house. The atmosphere, food and service is top notch. Our server Emily was an absolute pleasure. She really knew the menu and suggested very good teas. All staff were very friendly as well. It is very peaceful here for soft music. We were enjoying the tea so much we went a little crazy and shared multiple pots. Some tea we tried was banana nut bread, vanilla macaron, chai and and coconut. I love that we each had our own unique china teapot. They have the sugar and cream on the table ready to use as well. I loved the tea but I was really impressed by the food. I chose the tea time combo and my sister chose the quiche combo. For mine I got the Chickan Salad Croissant and you can choose a soup or salad to pair. I asked for half and half. I loved the potato leak soup and raspberry dressing for the salad. It also comes with seasonal fruit which was delicious and fresh. The food looks beautiful and taste even better. My sisters spinach, mushroom quiche was marvelous. I will get that next time. She got hers with half salad and half broccoli cheddar soup. Everything was simply phenomenal. Of course we had to get some pastries. They have a lovely assortment. They are not overly sweet and have delicate flavors. They all pair well with the tea. Pricing is fair here. Their menu is quite simple with daily specials. If you want to do the high tea you will need to make a reservation but walk-ins are welcome otherwise. They have plenty of seating and accommodate large groups. They also can host private parties upon request. Overall it is a very adorable tea house. I look very forward to coming back. read more

Second visit was no where near as good as our first. Service was lack luster, almost non-existent. When I made the reservation, we specified that there were 3 vegetarians, and asked for veggie sandwiches instead of tuna/chicken/ egg (we did this at our first visit and it was no problem at all) unfortunately they put all chicken, tuna, egg and no veggie sandwiches as promised. The tea was extremely watered down maybe?, not as much flavor as the first time we visited. The eclairs and creampuffs were so soggy you could not pick them up without them just completely falling apart into a pile of mush. In a few short months this establishment has really gone down hill. ( just an fyi, You need cash to leave a tip. You cannot leave it on your card. ) read more

I love how adorable this place is, the decorations are so cute and perfect for teatime. The food is a great price for the amount, I usually get either the egg and cheese croissants or chicken salad and whatever tea sounds good! The service is incredible, the owner and the servers are all very friendly and helpful. This is a hidden gem that everyone needs to check out! read more

Wonderful!! I always have a great time when I come here. The owner is such a sweetheart and so passionate about all things tea. He makes pretty much everything fresh! (And has a super cool mustache). The tea itself is of excellent quality and the house itself is adorable! It only took about 15 minutes for everything to come out!! Would recommend!!! read more

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.! Really enjoyed my time here with my friends and it was really a relaxing touch to my week after school and work. The service is perfect. They don't make you feel rushed to order and as it was our first time going our server gave us some really good options for tea as well as food. I really enjoyed my sweet cinnamon chai! And my tea rose! Delish!!! Definitely going to be implemented in my schedule read more

Nice quaint business! Breakfast was well prepared. Biscuit was just average, but the Corned Beef Hash was excellent.

This place is adorable! They moved into this building back in November, and it is the perfect space for it. There are tables decorated with teapots and teacups throughout. Tables indoors and outdoors, and it is very quaint and cozy. They have an area where you can purchase additional bakery items like scones, muffins, cookies, and cakes. My friend and I came for the Sunday brunch high tea. With tax, it was about $25 per person. For the two of us, the high tea came with a choice of one of over a dozen black, white, green and herbal teas; 4 ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwiches, 2 mini quiches, 2 scones I believe one was like a butterscotch and one a chocolate, two mini cinnamon rolls, two mini muffins, some fruit, two little lemon cakes, butter, jam and a little apple swirled dessert. It was so cute and fun to do. The only thing that would make it better is a few more savory options, so it wasn't so dessert-heavy. I know they have a regular menu, but I don't know what that entails, but maybe some small cucumber sandwiches would be nice, something to break up all the sweetness from the muffins, scones and cake. Would definitely come again, but I would love to try one of the other lunch options. Also note they only accept cash tips, they can't take them on a credit card. read more

Such a beautiful place for serenity and peace! The food was excellent as was the decor.

Found ourselves in the area and I'm a fan of history and architecture. The outside is impressive to say the least! It certainly beckons a visit -so we wandered inside. It was between lunch and dinner so it was pretty quiet but very charming. We were seated in the front parlor and promptly served tea. I have a dairy allergy so not much on the menu for me but a salad. Salad was great however and Raspberry vinaigrette was delicious. Hubby had a croissant sandwich. It really looked pretty yummy! Service was prompt and pleasant. The decor was a little cluttered but certainly in keeping with the Victorian era decor. Overall, it's sweet and charming. I would love to bring my lady friends here for a charming luncheon. I only wish they had more options for my dairy allergy. read more

I recently had the pleasure of having high tea here. It was amazing. Upon entering the atmosphere is wonderful. It was like walking into a library for afternoon tea. There are tea sets everywhere, along with books, and unique furnishing.  We were greeted by the owner and sat quickly. I loved everything about the feel of the room. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning.  Once seated we choose our tea. There were many choices from black tea to green tea to fruit-flavored. You can even get good ole southern sweet tea.  Once tea arrives in our individual teapots we were brought our food. On the 3 tier serving tray, we receive multiple flavors of tea sandwiches, I plate of fresh-baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and on the top tier delicious desserts.  Everything was so good and fresh. The service was amazing and the whole feel was wonderful.  Overall one of the best ta rooms I have ever visited.  Side note: If you want to have high tea you have to book a reservation in advance. However, if you just want to have lunch or breakfast with a pot of tea you can just walk in. The food here is amazing. Whether you want to do a tea party or just have a nice lunch they got you covered. read more

If you like disgustingly dirty establishments you will love this place. I came at my grandmas request and used the bathroom upon arriving, which looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the houses building back in the 1910's. Tea kettle was filthy as well as the tablecloth, 2/3 of our napkins and the place in general smelled musty. See pics for proof read more

Finally received a reservations on Tuesday.....wish we wouldn't have went after all of that. Lewis the owner was even more rude in person, restaurant was unorganized & we received horrible customer service. read more

My sister came for a visit and we decided to go try out Teatime Tranquility and Treasures . We decided to do a high tea so made reservations 24 hours in advance. First, let me just say one of an adorable setting as you first walk in the door! We were greeted & seated immediately by Julia. There was such a beautiful selection of teas and we were both thrilled with what we ordered! Our selection of sandwiches, chicken salad, vegetarian and tuna salad on croissants were delicious! So was the delicious cucumbers, sandwiches! The scones were so delicious with the clotted cream and jam! The tea rose was the star!! It was so beautiful, and tasted fantastic! We had chocolate petite fours that were very yummy as well as exquisite lemon lavender ones! The cream puffs were just luscious as well! Louis, the owner was so attentive and so fun to talk to! I can hardly wait to take my daughter and granddaughter! It was a wonderful and memorable experience that my sister and I will always remember! read more

The food, service, and decor was amazing!! They had the whole English teatime vibe in there. Very cool. The owner and a waitress got me and my friend's orders and the food and tea were out in about 5-10mins. I really enjoyed my tea which was not at all bitter like most teas I've had before. It paired perfectly with the pastry I got (the hummingbird cake)! The broccoli cheddar soup was really good as well!! Although the only thing is that I wish the accessible sign for the entrance was easier to see from the front. read more

We absolutely loved our experience! The food was delicious, service was personal, and the atmosphere was magical. Very relaxing and worldly. The owner even texted me for convenience and catered to our needs. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend. 10/10! read more

I love coming to high tea, the food and pastries are delicious. The homes decor and garden is quaint. The owner, Lois is congenial. I would give 10 stars if I could. If you're looking for a quiet lunch date, or a tea party for 30, or even a wedding this is the place to go. read more

Very cozy and eclectic interior, with a huge selection of teas, for a good price! Lunch quiche was very good too. The owner is very friendly and helpful. It's a cool place to hang out and chat, read, and snack and drink tea! read more

This is a definite if you're in town! This place is perfect for a special day out or even just catching up with some friends. Skip the tired old coffee shop and come here! Prices are low and reservations are not required (unless you want to do a high tea, then you need to call a day in advance)...this is a HUGE plus for a tea room; to just be able to go in anytime and get tea, pastries, or breakfast and lunch. We stopped in after some shopping down the street and had such a great time. There are plenty of tables. Large sturdy tables with sturdy chairs. Noting like you feel you're going to break or be uncomfortable in. There are fun hats on the backs of each chair should you desire to be "fancy" or just take some fun pictures. The tea is great and there is a large selection to choose from. For about $8 you can get a pot of tea with 4 servings. You can also order by the cup. The teapots are adorable! There is also a large selection of delicious tea cakes, scones, brownies, cakes, and more. We had the brownie (so good!) and the best ever lemon tea cakes. In addition to tea and cakes, they also offer quiche, breakfast items, soups, and even a tea time combo - tea, soup, and croissant with your choice of salad, and fruit for $8.95! If you can't stay for tea, come for breakfast or lunch. The prices are the best in Alachua/High Springs and the food is also the best in the area...everything is fresh and delicious. You MUST come here. I can't tell you how much you'll love it. read more

Great atmosphere and a unique experience. They offer soups, sandwiches and a variety of pastries and sweets. We also enjoy the high tea experience. Highly recommended. read more

I read about this quaint antiquities and tea, and decided it was a must visit on a recent trip to Florida. It had an amazing selection of teas. The pastries and quiche delightful. When served the small pots of tea, the menu indicates "cup of tea" with price, with no indication that the small pot is considered two cups. Unsure how you would order a cup as you automatically are served the small pot. Since I planned on trying several varieties, this was an unexpected surprise when paying the bill. read more

Reserved for a wedding in September 2023 . This was due to a last-minute venue change caused by a recent hurricane . The owners of this establishment, Yvonne and lewis, we're both very accommodating and easy to work with. If you are looking for a venue where all you need to do is show up, then this is your place. The high tea they served was excellent as well. read more

We had such a wonderful time at my nephew's wedding hosted here. Beautiful garden setting for the wedding. The reception was inside this gorgeous 1800s period house.

Absolutely adorable space and a great place to stop by for lunch or a snack. They have a high tea menu with pastries, scones, sandwiches, and clotted cream, but this requires at least a day's notice. Since we didn't know this beforehand, we each had one of the snack sets, which includes soup or salad and a sandwich or quiche. Everything is made fresh and was absolutely delicious. The owner was incredibly nice and also gave us great recommendations on tea. Overall a great experience. Will definitely come again! read more

very good food and very good taste of tea and they are very nice and very clean bathroom

great place to relax over a cup of tea with friends and a nice bite to eat!

We had a party here and the food was just not that great and the service was even worse. It's like the waitress was rushing us to go that she brought the machine to our table to cash us out...really bad. We were served scones and had to ask for butter and jam which was on the menu. Disappointing to say the least. read more

Very friendly and the food was so good! I loved the tiny teas cakes and chatting with the owner

Best Tea Room Ever! Their teas are always perfect the desserts are so delicious! I've been going here for over a year now and everything I have had has been amazing! I took my mother here for High tea for mothers day and it was incredible the cucumber and chicken salad sandwiches are to die for! The scones and tea rose are also amazing! Best part is the owner is so wonderful he is so friendly and kind! No matter what you want either just a quick cup of tea or coffee to go, lunch or a high tea with everything! I definitely recommend trying this hidden treasure! read more

Great atmosphere- great service! I enjoyed my first outing there very much and it would also serve as a place for me to set up my laptop and relax on one of the sofas while I drink my tea like a refined lady out of bone China. What a great find and a great addition to Alachua. read more
