Great place! Saw this place walking by after visiting the Warwick Castle. This place is so close to the castle- just a quick walk away. Historical building, great tea, and overall unforgettable experience. Best English tea with everything from sandwiches to cake. It is small inside and not very good ventilation during the summer. Plenty of seating outside and the bathroom is outside around the corner too! The beers here were not served cold. We asked them why and they said this is just how the beer is suppose to be served(?)
OMG! I loved this little slice of paradise in Warwick. Heritage building - check Amazing cakes - check Super friendly awesome service - check Yummy sandwiches - check Delicious scones - check Rejuvenating tea & coffee - check Vintage flowery cutlery - check check & check And that little store at the entry which stocks such cute little paraphernalia relating to tea and it's preparation. - cherry on the Icing on their super delicious cakes. We just ordered a ham sandwich, cheese scone (really large), pot of tea and iced coffee between 2 of us as this was a mid afternoon break. We only wanted a drink, but once we were in, we couldn't resist ordering a snack too. This definitely has to be my favourite afternoon tea experience in the UK. I would go back to Warwick just for their tea service. That's how amazing they are. Bought a pair of cup & saucer and coffee mug earrings from the shop and I'll be salivating at the memory, each time I wear them.
Tea! Well, I don't know how much I can tell besides what everyone else has said. This is a great place. Especially if you are a tourist, this is the best place to be if you want that English tea experience. When you walk in, you immediately realize the beautiful aesthetic that this building has. It has great history, being around for hundreds of years. Walking around, you realize you are being surrounded by the history of England, in one building. We were served in their upstairs area, which was quaint. We all got different teas and happily enjoyed ourselves. I don't know about all the other items on the menu, but the tea was surprisingly cheap. You can a whole teapot for a couple of pounds. Not only is it a whole teapot, but it's much better quality than your average starbucks. There isn't too much else I can say about this place. It's a great place for a date, especially if you guys like tea. This is a must check for anyone in the area. For all the parents, it'll be good to drop by here after you see Warwick castle...
Having missed our hotel's breakfast cut-off time, we decided to head into Warwick and have a wander for a cafe. We walked by this the day before after exploring Warwick Castle, and I remember it being located so close to the castle. The menu looked reasonably priced, and the building itself was quaint and picturesque. We went in, and were told we could take a table wherever we liked. They have two floors, and it really does feel like an old Tudor-style house, with comfortable furniture and welcoming decor. Everything we ordered turned out to be well-prepared. They make their own mulled wine, grind coffee from Staffordshire and roast their own ham. I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich, which was full of flavour. My partner ordered the Welsh Rarebit, which he truly enjoyed. We were able to get a table on the 1st floor, in the window looking directly at the Church of St Mary. All in all, this was an excellent choice for our lunch, and I look forward to returning some day.
We stopped in here after a lovely day at Warwick Castle. Since it's right outside the gate, we expected prices to be grossly inflated, but they were really quite reasonable. There are a wide variety of teas and cakes, scones and other treats, plus beer, cider and perfect for today's chill...mulled wine. We had a beef sandwich that was pretty tasty. The horseradish sauce was the highlight. The building is very atmospheric. Sit upstairs for a lovely view.
I think this was the most "English" tea experience I had in the UK. We were hungry from walking around the Warwick castle, and I told my aunt that I wanted to try the tearoom that we walked pass earlier. We told the waitress that we wanted to sit outside cause there was a little bit of sun, but she never came out, so we went back in to sit inside. I had the regular English Breakfast tea and toasts with butter and sultana (raisins). My aunt had latte and cheese scones. It was an amazing experience, I finished the whole pot of tea with milk myself, and the toasts were great. She said it was the best tea time experience she had had so far, even though she has been living in the UK for years now lol. If you are in Warwick and want to have a good English tea experience, I recommend this place. This is an old Tudor house that was turned into a tearoom, which is brilliant.

Great selection of tea, sandwiches, and cakes. Everything was good quality and tasted very nice. I loved the blueberry and vanilla cake. The portion was good and filling, the scones were nice and warm, and most importantly the tea was decently strong. I ordered Ceylon tea, a Warwickshire cheese sandwich, and a blueberry vanilla cake. Really great pricing, cute decorations, and the building was really quaint looking. The servers were all very nice and enthusiastic. Service was fast considering how many guests this place gets. I had no complaints. read more
I would definitely like to come back here in a non-pandemic world when the menus aren't wipe clean. We plumped for the Warwick cream tea, as frankly I was gasping for a cuppa. It's a lovely setting, in a charming building with helpful staff. We were sat by the window upstairs. I really want the green cinnamon and plum tea every day, it made me think of pie I had with chai tea in Scotland, the blood orange rooibos tea is also lovely, as was the mango. Fruit scones are obviously nicer than plain ones- and these ones (of a generous size too) almost taste apple-y with the addition of mixed spice. read more

Great little tea shop. Amazing selection of snacks, cakes and teas and a really warm and friendly atmosphere. Can feel a little cramped when full, but that just adds to the atmosphere. Well return (many times). Highly recommended. read more
