    My best friend and I have been eyeing this place for a while on social media. The decor was everything we saw online. It was very cutesy, very demure. We finally got reservations for an Afternoon High tea experience. I love supporting local small businesses, especially small black owned businesses. I have some amazing things to say about this business and some MAJOR critiques. I want this business a chance to do better. The main theme of disappointed I see in the reviews was the lack of service, and we definitely experienced that first had. I totally understand the servers being young teenage girls, but wow we really had to exercise patients with them. The servers did not want to be there nor Work at all. They looked at us like they couldn't wait to go home. My group had 7 women and 2 kids so we got 4 tea pots in total, 2 Tea towers, all our own hot plate. We never got the complimentary ginger juice sample. I completely understand the concept of reservation, and keeping our time slot in mind. That being said I really did not like that our servers kind of made us wait a lot, I felt like we really wasted about 30 minutes just getting our teas. I did not appreciate the server giving my aunt attitude when the wrong Tea was booked. This is why I said triple check your reservation, because just trying to change to High tea was irritating of arguing back and forth. Mam, We understand that the High Tea cost more, we will pay the $10 difference. It was as if the servers were scared we weren't going to pay for it, or they did not want to prepare the hot plates being it was more work for them. I liked that they had an extensive Tea selection. Unfortunately they were pretty much out of more than half of the teas we wanted to try. Each person in our group had one tea that we absolutely loved, and then hated the rest. The yellow text on the menu is caffeinated tea and the blue text on the menu is non-caffeinated tea. I did not like that we had to BEG for milk and sugar. When it finally came, she brought the TINIEST vessel of milk to share between 9 people, it was a serving for one person at best. I felt like a broken record at the end of the experience having to constantly ask for things. We weren't trying to be difficult, but the service was absolutely trash. They never brought us our last tea pot because there was only 20 minutes left in our reservation. Mam we asked for the pot 30 minutes prior, making it a total of 50 minutes. We had plenty of time for our last pot. You guys literally did not want to work that day. The tea tower was very cute, and I liked how there were plenty of foods on there. I just wished the server didn't half ass explain what was on there, we didn't know what item was what . Imagine my surprise eating the Coronation Chicken finger sandwich had grapes in it. It honestly was very good, a curry chicken flavor. There were 5 different finger sandwiches. Chicken Coronation(should be curry chicken), cucumber, Egg Salad, Salmon lox, and Pimento cheese. The Scones were amazing & soft. As for the desserts, we didn't know what was what either, and it seemed like our two tea towers had slightly different desserts. The hot plate was mid at best. It did come literally Hot, but it did not come all at once. My Quiche went cold by the time everyone else got their food. The server forgot to take my order and told me I ordered the Quiche. I guess that was fine too....? They ran out of Gouda for the Turkey croissant anyways. I asked the server for salad dressing for my sliver of lettuce. The server said "oh its on there & left". When the other finally plates came, my salad was the only one dry as hell. They forgot to put dressing on mine and gaslight me. They only had 3 Hot plate options this day, because they ran out of everything else. We came on a Saturday, it is prime service time. How do you not prepare for this?? Especially when we were the first group of people there! The room we got was cute, but very very Tight. There was a huge dresser in the room that took up a bit of space. The King Charles cut out almost gave us a heart attack. It was hiding & creeping in the background. While we had the room to ourselves, the servers didnt close our room. We were right across from the toilet, We could still see the other guests. The tea cups and plates were all so cute! I just wished they gave us an extra fork for the Hot plate, bc using the same fork for cake on Quiche is wild. We all wanted to try the different teas, but we had to chug each cup before we can try a different flavor. If not change the cups for each pot, I was tasting the basil flavor from Earl grey in the hibiscus tea. If we had better service I think our experience would have been a 10 out of 10. The venue is beautiful, and the food was very good. Tea could use some work, theres not a lot of space. We all had fun, I appreciate my aunt for including me in this.

    My friends and I had a wonderful time at The Ginger Room. We had made reservations a couple months in advance for high tea. The service was good and we could pick 3 teas from the menu and switch them out as many times as we wanted to try other teas. We tried 5 different teas and all of them were really good! The food tower was great as well. I'm vegetarian and there was plenty for me to eat on it. We also had hot food with a side salad that came with our reservation. I had the quiche which was great! Inside was very cute and the teacups and teapots were also cute! I think this is the best place to come for high tea, but be sure to make a reservation!

    Tea for two, please! What a cute little building and concept. Took my mom here for her birthday and we had the best time! My mom has always loved tea (never a coffee drinker) so naturally, I grew up drinking and loving tea time with her. When I stumbled upon this place online, I knew it was the perfect spot to celebrate my mom. You MUST book reservations in advance (at least 48 hours is required) for Afternoon or High Tea, and space is very limited. I called and made the reservation via phone and had to pay a deposit to hold the reservation which went towards the total bill. There's a large parking lot in the back. Afternoon Tea was about $50 per person and came with their "Traditional Tea Tower". This included a selection of finger sandwiches (Smoked Salmon & Chive, Coronation Chicken, Classic Cucumber & Dill, Egg & Watercress, Pimento Cheese), Fresh Scones and Clotted Cream (made in-house), Jams, Lemon Curd, and a various dessert assortment. They will also serve a sample of fresh ginger juice upon request. Both of us got to choose a 24oz pot of tea from their incredible list of over 45 national and international teas. The tea pots, tower, and china were absolutely beautiful and I really felt like we were in a little old English tea house. They were even sweet enough to bring out a crown and a special little pie with a birthday candle for my mom! The only complaint I have is that we felt quite rushed the entire time. I understand that they have to keep to their reservations, but it almost feels like maybe they need to book less reservations in a day to accommodate for more enjoyment time. All in all, a very fun experience and celebration!

    I got the chance to check out the ginger room and it is such a wonderful experience. The building that ginger is in is actually the oldest house in Alpharetta built in the 1800s. I am not a tea drinker but wanted to experience the whole British high tea. The owners are absolutely amazing. They walk you through the teas and the treats. Telling you how to properly stir your tea and even what it means to have your pinky up. I can see this is a great date experience, girls brunch or lunch or even a great place to take your little mini me to have tea. If you are interested in checking them out I would say you need to book now. They are already booked up for a month. It can be quite difficult to get a reservation. And for the holidays I hear it is quite gorgeous inside. This is a must try experience!

    We did high tea and it ended up about $150 for 2 for the top tier package which comes with a savory entree + tower + pot of tea This place gets super crowded so you have to make a reservation most days I think. They have tea, sipping chocolate, coffee, cafe style entrees, pastries and more. It was kinda hard to tell what's for sale vs what's decoration and prices are not on all items that you can buy. I think generally the tea products are for sale and books, etc not? Im not sure because there were cookie boxes on the display that may or may not be for sale too. The shepherds pie was really good and so was the mango black tea and the chai. The tower came with a ton of food and we ended up with a couple boxes leftover to go home with The staff is friendly and the house has a very positive cute vibe I was so stuffed after all this but I def want to try their sipping chocolate sometime. We came bc we saw it on Instagram but everyone else in there (and I mean literally every other table) was celebrating a birthday and they do a little celebration for you to make yours special. So cute They have a ton of teas to choose from and food items. Worth the experience The parking lot is huge behind the house with plenty of free parking This place is perfect for a date, girls Sunday out, or a celebration

    Our tower of treats!

    My granddaughter and I had a "fancy"outing to The Ginger Room. It was fantastic. Starting with the amazing space and great decor you know you're in for something special. The lovely afternoon tea was exceptional and they provided some kid special treats. A great selection of teas and exceptional service made for a wonderful experience. Thank you Ginger Room.

    A lovely, charming place to have afternoon or high tea. Came here to celebrate a belated birthday and we both had a great time. Love all the decor and wonderful ambiance. The food was good, too. The lemon curd for the scone and clotted cream was out of this world good. We liked how some desserts were vegan and gluten free; all very delicious. We had the high tea, which included a savory dish. The Shepherd's pie was very tasty! Value wise, I thought it was a bit expensive. I've had afternoon tea twice at Ivy Tea House and at the St Regis. This was the most expensive out of all of them. It was $71 with tax for the high tea. Still, I don't regret going and would consider going again. The service was overall good but the waiters need a little improvement here. The waiters seemed very confused. First they brought a Shepherd's pie to our table (we both ordered) and then they tried to take it away and give it to someone else. Then the waitress told them no, that was ours. Then the waiter tried to give us a tomato pie instead, which we didn't order. We eventually got the correct order. That was the only downside to our otherwise lovely experience. We also spoke to the British chef and he was great to talk to. The waitresses we had were wonderful. As we were leaving, my companion got a little birthday box of treats to take home. We thought that was a splendid thing for the Ginger Room to do.

    I Love The Ginger Room! My girlfriend and I came on a Saturday with no reservations and they were able to accommodate us at a nice corner table. The cafe is filled with ornate paintings, antiques, and fine china. The Ginger Room has a plethora of gorgeous decorations in a historic home in Downtown Alpharetta, it's full of history. We opted for the $45/pp afternoon tea and we each had our own pot of chosen tea and a dessert and sandwich tower to share. There was more than enough food and we had to-go boxes offered, which was really nice. All of the servers worked together and did a great job taking care of us. I had a pot of the apple pie tea and my friend had the ginger tea. We both really enjoyed it! The afternoon tea tower included tea sandwiches like cucumber, smoked salmon, curry chicken, pimento and egg sandwich. I especially loved the cucumber and cream cheese---great combination. There were delicious scones and jams with clotted cream. The top tray had chocolates, macaroons, petit fours, and cookies. Beautiful presentation and display. I would definitely revisit The Ginger Room.

    The food was delicious. The owner served us the meal . They make you feel like you're actually in London . Many varieties of tea. They're able to serve anyone. Ambience is quiet.

    Fantastic!! Loved it so very much. Now here's my review. I came here with a group of ladies and we had a fantastic time getting dolled up and enjoying high tea. I enjoyed the teas I tried very much. They book up quickly and I made the reservation 2 months ago. The owner, Angela, was so sweet. She walked us through the tea menu and the tower. They use an array of local products like the macaroons and many of the sweets are made in house. The salmon sandwich was everything! The curry chicken salad was very good as well. I wasn't a fan of the cucumber sandwich as it was a tad sour for some odd reason. They give you to go boxes and aren't skimpy on the food. I really enjoyed the scones and the ginger jam. At the end we got the opportunity to sample the strawberry ginger drink and it was wonderful! Angela ran out because so many of the ladies purchased it. I got the peach and lemon which was phenomenal. I look forward to coming back!

    The afternoon tea set here was a little overpriced. Also did not fancy their reservation system and having to confirm by calling and paying over the phone beforehand. The sandwiches were all very sub-par and dry. I think my tea tray was also broken so it was pretty stressful trying not to have the whole thing tip over :/ Overall, I think it's a nice place to visit for celebrations but nothing fancy.

    Megan D.

    Every year we go for tea. We found The Ginger Room and it's a hidden gem! The tea is amazing, the sandwiches were delicious, and the pastries were adorable! The owner Karl is amazing! He opened this place to have an authentic tea experience like his home in the UK. Karl is so kind, bubbly, and a accommodating. You do need a reservation so plan ahead!

    Are reservations required?

    Strongly recommended. This is a very small space. I was turned away when taking my bonus daughter for tea because they had a 6 top and a couple 2 top tables sat when we walked in.

    Is it wheelchair accessible inside?

    Hi! Yes, there is. Feel free to let us know upon making a reservation.

The staff was friendly, patient, and happy to walk me through the menu, which is great if you're new to açaí bowls or have dietary preferences or allergies. The cafe itself is clean and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere that works just as well for a quick grab-and-go order as it does for sitting outside.

While we were waiting two more customers came into the shop--they ordered two smoothies and two food items. They received both of their food items and both of their smoothies before we received our smoothies. At this point four more customers had walked into the shop and while they were ordering one of our smoothies was ready, about 15 minutes or so after we originally ordered. As this next group of people's orders started to come up I walked up to the counter to let them know that we were still waiting on our second item to which I was met with a snarky "yeah..I know". This girl literally could not have been more bothered that I was requesting the item I paid for 25 minutes and 6 other people ago. I was quite literally speechless. Mind you the shop was completely empty when we walked in. There were three employees just standing around and I tipped five dollars ahead of time on a $13 order. It had already been almost 25 minutes and I've not said anything and could not have been met with a more rude response. After the other six customers had come and gone with all of their items, my "smoothie" finally came up and there's no way it was what I ordered. It wasn't even a smoothie. It was a watered down version of I don't even know what. I can't for the life of me understand what happened. When we walked in, they weren't busy. They weren't prepping. They weren't on the phone. Literally nothing. There were three employees to make two smoothies. I tipped extremely generously upfront and didn't complain. Was met with extreme sass, still didn't complain and wasn't even given what I ordered. Entitled much?
