My daughter has been talking about a tea party and fancy tea for a long time and asked if there was a place to go. I found this spot online and booked a reservation. They take reservations by email or you can call and leave a message. We got dressed up and headed to our fancy tea. The place is a very small store front with room for about 10-15. Its decorated beautifully with China and tea cups. The server was so friendly and accommodating and explained all the different teas they offered. We got the lunch special which came with scones, mini sandwiches, and dessert. Everything was so fresh and good. The scones were so moist and delicious. It was the best scones I've ever had. This is a great experience for fancy tea lovers or a celebration. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I had never been to tea before and had recently heard of this spot in downtown Lincoln. My friend and I share a birthday and like to celebrate together. I reached out to make a reservation a few months before our birthday. The day of, we were greeted with the most delightful table setting. Our hostess did the tea was so kind and helpful telling us about the tea offerings and the food that was being served. The Tea Nook IS a nook with only a few tables. It is such a charming spot. We loved everything about our experience and agreed we will be celebrating here again next year. read more

I wanted to take my mom to her first high tea and I am so happy that it was at The Tea Nook! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and kindness by the host and seated at such a cutely decorated table. The interior of this place was so cute and it felt really cozy since there were only a few tables. We chose our teas from a list of so many options, and decided on the creme brûlée and the orange cinnamon teas. Both were so good as the creme brûlée was sweetened with a subtle caramel taste and the orange cinnamon reminded me of fall! The treats that came with the high tea included a chicken sandwich, ham and cheese on a cranberry bread, egg quiches, scones, strawberry cake with ricotta cream, fruits, chocolate chip cookies and dark chocolate bites. Both my heart and stomach were so full from this wonderful experience and I can't wait for next time! read more

Amazing service and good. Our waitress was so kind and we just had the best time! Highly recommend.

This review is regarding the absolutely lovely experience I had with a cake order at this business. We requested a coconut cake and the delivery exceeded our expectations!! All the guest raved how delicious it was and the coconut flavor was the perfect balance. If you are looking for a decadent cake, filled with flavors from a scratch kitchen and a reflection of a home baked cake... this is it!! They even added flowers and candles to the cake for our dinner party. We will continue to do our part and shop and dine local! Check out these Gem in Downtown Lincoln. read more

My wife and I were in the area for our wedding anniversary this past weekend, and wanted to partake in a relaxing afternoon tea experience. Looking online, I came across this place and after reviewing the prior reviews on Yelp, as well as the overall atmosphere I got from the photos, I reserved a setting for us. When we arrived, the place definitely held up to its name. Though this is a small tea nook, it provided a very cozy experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Alina with a very warm reception, who had a big smile and a jovial spirit. After seating us, she explained everything to us about our choice of teas, and when bringing the food out, took the time to go through the entire tray to explain what each item was for us. After that, she gave us enough space for us to enjoy or conversion and food, while always being accessible to any questions we may have, as well as making sure we are doing well or if we needed a refresher on our teas. The food was fabulous! From the scones, to the sandwiches, and the desserts. It all tasted wonderful. You can tell Alina and Dena really have a passion for the experience they provided for us. The teas we chose, which were the Crème Brule and seasonal Cherry Cinnamon Almond, were very flavorful. They were so good, we ordered some loose teas to take home to enjoy. Overall, it felt very hospitable and like we were visiting a friend. The experience was highly enjoyable for us both and though we do not live close enough to come back often, we will definitely carve out time in the future to revisit this great, cozy place again. read more

I brought my parents and daughter here for a special high tea, specifically because The Tea Nook describes itself as a "Victorian style tearoom" with food that is "made from scratch by the owners." I came in with reasonable expectations based on exactly what they promise. The experience did not deliver. The china was mismatched and looked like thrift store finds, not the fine, curated pieces you'd expect from a Victorian tea setting. The "napkins" were mismatched handkerchiefs folded into the tea cups, which felt more like an afterthought than a charming touch. The food was the most disappointing part. The cucumber sandwich, a benchmark item for any high tea, was served on inexpensive bread with the crusts still on. Other items tasted processed and pre-made. At one point, I clearly heard a microwave running in the kitchen right next to our dining area. For a place that explicitly advertises scratch-made food, that is hard to overlook. We paid $200 for four guests. At that price, the gap between what is promised and what is served matters. If you're looking for a casual, relaxed tea party, you may enjoy it. But if you're expecting a genuine Victorian high tea experience, know that the marketing sets a bar that the execution does not clear. read more

Afternoon tea has always been special in my family. My mom and I shared adores afternoon tea and went often together, and as he was growing up my son caught the tea bug too. Since my mom passed the tradition has carried on during visits with my son. This time, we wanted to share the experience with his girlfriend in his gma's honor, and The Tea Nook was the perfect spot. The food and tea were delicious, the price was fair, and the cozy space is decorated so sweetly. The gal who helped us was kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more meaningful. The only drawback is the reservation system, which was confusing and frustrating with lots of back-and-forth before we were finally confirmed. Thankfully it worked out, because our time here was truly lovely. A smoother system would make this hidden gem even better. read more

Cozy little room, Great service, a nice large selection of teas. Our quiche was wonderful and so was everything else, especially the cucumber sandwich and chicken salad sandwhich but honestly I could live for days on that cucumber sandwich. My sister Mom and I went for Valentines and we will be back next month for our birthdays. read more

What a fun experience to have with friends or family! The food was fresh and I enjoyed that the mini sandwiches varied from the typical tea time sandwiches. Make sure to book in advance due to their limited seating. I'd recommend buying a bag of loose leaf house tea while you're there. They hold some of these loose leaf bags in store but you may have to order tea mix ahead depending on the type. I recommend their Power's Mansion Medley tea for a refreshing blend of raspberry and peach. read more

The Tea Nook is such a quaint place, and the name does not lie. You definitely need to make a reservation as it is a little nook in between some larger stores, and only has 4 tables. The service was fantastic. You can tell the employees are passionate about this place. One of them makes the most delicious cream to go on the scones, and the food and tea is delicious. They have some teas, such as oolong, that are not common at tea places. They also serve small, tasty quiches. I look forward to returning! read more

Great place and customer service! Totally coming back with nice size group to enjoy great relaxing time! read more

I took my daughter to the tea nook to celebrate her 6th birthday and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The owner Dena (I hope that's how her name is spelt) was such a lovely host. She made us feel so welcome and was very attentive. We didn't feel rushed and every detail was so thought out. The tea and food was all wonderful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you so much!! read more

We had a delightful high tea experience with friendly, attentive service and a delicious variety of food that satisfied all the dietary needs in our party. The lemon curd that came with the scones was so good that my vegan friend became vegetarian during our brunch -- because butter is vegetarian, right? We loved our experience so much that we booked another brunch! read more

Came here with friends for a nice afternoon tea on a rainy day. They book up fast so make sure you ask for a recommendation. I have an allium allergy and they were very accommodating. I was able to eat all the food, and what I couldn't eat they made me something else. I don't know many places to get afternoon tea, so it was nice to have a bit of classy snacks and tea with great company. Definitely a must-try at least once. Oh! The scones were super tasty! read more

The food was wonderful. I loved getting to try several kinds of tea. The room was beautifully decorated and unique. And it was a great first tea to bring my six year old niece to. She, her mom, and I all loved it. read more

I learned about this tea place from a friend. We used to go to Power's Mansion Inn Tea House and apparently this tea place has the same owner. Reservation was pretty easy via text messaging... or maybe I did it through FB Messenger. Either way it was easy breezy! I took my boyfriend's mom here who was visiting from Texas. I have moved out of Sacramento so we made the almost two and a half hours to get here. We had a great experience so I'd say the drive was not too bad :) I'm pretty sure we ordered the Full Afternoon Tea Luncheon. Each of us received a small plate of salad with a slice of quiche, 4 mini sandwiches, a scone, three small desserts, and a pot of tea. I personally would have loved to have another sandwich and one less dessert. The scone alone was enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and the desserts we received wasn't going to travel well in our drive back to Reno, Nevada so I had to force myself to finish the desserts LOL! I saved the scone to take home because that one will not melt HA! read more

My experience at The Tea Nook in Lincoln was wonderful. Dena provides excellent customer service. I went to the Tea Nook on Sunday. August 14, 2022 with my mother, my sisters and our daughters. Girls Day Out! We dressed up and genuinely enjoyed ourselves. We loved the decor, the quaint little tables, the tea party ambiance. We were lucky that we were the only party in the room, which was nice because it made it an intimate setting. Our food was yummy. The little girls had Mac and cheese. My daughter loved it- she wanted more lol. I loved the variety of the food. I love tiered platters. Scones, sandwiches, cookies, yum! The tea flavors were unique and special. We chose 3 different flavors for our party and the non-caffeinated tea for the little girsltea pots were also dressed nicely in their own "clothes." For the price, I think it's a good value. You're paying for the experience, not just the food and tea. I will definitely come back because 1. I LOVE tea parties! 2. Dena is so sweet and accommodating. We had our girls being on the louder side and Dena just let us be and enjoy ourselves. read more

The food was ok but beautifully presented. The tea was just ok and the decor was not all that elegant but the price was!

Pros: - taste was good. Did not care for the proscuitto + cheese sandwich. Cucumber + cream sandwich is classic, but also nothing extraordinary and something I can easily make at home. The chicken salad (? I forget) croissant sandwich was good. - super cute decor, from the tea cups, tea pots, tea cozy, to the shop - owner was really nice Cons: - $$$: $50pp and my husband and I left feeling hungry bc there's not enough food. - not exactly a con, but it is a very small place (4 tables total) so you do need to make sure to make reservations way ahead of time. For $50pp, we got: 1 small salad + slice of quiche 1/4 sandwich x2 (at a tea place in SF we got 2 full sandwiches = 8 pieces) 1 small croissant sandwich 2 scones + lemon curd/ whipped cream (no devonshire cream as well) 1 chocolate covered strawberry 1 macaron 1 puff pastry w strawberry + whipped cream filling So for 4 people for $200, we got the salad + quiche and one 3-tiered stand of food. In comparison at Lovejoy's for $29, I got my own 2-tiered stand full of food and for $35, hubby got a full 3-tiered stand full of food for himself. It's no wonder we left hungry. Tea food is NOT hard to make nor is it expensive... I think increasing the amt of food by a tad would go a long way with making people want to come a lot more often. In the Sac area, there's really no good tea place, so this place is one of the rare ones around which is probably why they can charge $50pp. I think we'll just make do with hosting our own tea party at home, where $100 could go a long way to get a lot of delicious baked goods + tea sandwich ingredients. Of course, we won't have the extremely cute decor this place offers. read more

What a lovely experience. From the minute you walk in, you are welcomed graciously to all the delightful details- lacey tablecloths, elegant serving pieces, beautiful teacups. And the food is the best I've had at a tea place. The Creme Brule tea was scrumptious and I couldn't resist buying some to bring home. My daughter and I had a wonderful time as well as leaving completely stuffed. read more

I live in Lincoln, my mom lives in Clovis. Years ago, the only tea room in her area went out of business. I made it my goal to bring her to our beautiful local Tea Room on her next visit to Lincoln. Last weekend I made reservations and took her for High Tea.. we both loved it. I am not a tea drinker but I loved the Mango and Apricot teas. The food was amazing. I am so happy we have the Tea Nook in our quaint town! read more

It's small but super cute and cozy! Amazing food and service! Definitely will be back!

This tea house is situated in in a very small place, but it's really decorated sweetly. We've been to a couple prior to this and we're excited. The young woman who see this and gave us some menus was very friendly and very welcoming. I was disappointed in the so-called school as I expected a typical English looking scone, but rather it was a cinnamon pastry that to me was nothing like a real scone. The egg sandwich and the cucumber sandwich were great. Unfortunately, the chicken salad sandwich that was served in a miniature croissant was a huge disappointment. The chicken salad was interesting, but the croissant was like something off the shelf of Safeway. It was clearly not fresh made, and tasted old. Enjoyed most of the experience, although it took forever for her to come back check. There are only three tables in the small setting with a lot of cabinets with beautiful cups and saucers. I'm glad we went, but I don't think we'd go back again. read more

We love The Tea Nook! In fact, we've known Dena (owner) for years from An Afternoon to Remember in Newcastle to Powers Mansion Inn in Auburn. When the owners of these tea rooms shut down Dena would invite us to pop up tea parties or special events and we are so happy that she opened The Tea Nook in our beautiful town of Lincoln. High Tea has been a 15 year tradition for my mom and I. Dena and her team are very hospitable and the selection of teas and food are amazing! I highly recommend this quaint adorable tea room thank you for all the years of relaxing tea time Dena! read more
