Reviews Overview

Patrons rave about the extensive selection of teas, paired perfectly with freshly baked scones and pastries. The attention to detail in the decor and service creates an inviting vibe that many visitors cherish.

Most Disliked
Some diners express concern about the pricing, feeling it skews on the higher side compared to casual alternatives. While most are willing to pay for quality, a few suggest more affordable options for lunch could broaden the appeal. The limited dinner service hours do leave those looking for evening meals without many choices, leading some to hope for expanded offerings in the future. A small number of visitors mention peak hours resulting in slightly slower service; however, most find the wait to be well worth the exceptional food.

I'm here often, the coffee is great and the cakes on offer are excellent! In spring, summer, and later autumn, you can sit outside on a lovely warm terrace and be served your drinks and food. It's my time out space, I've often come here to stop, think, and look for a while and the staff are always friendly and helpful too. Plus the added advantage of beautiful cake, the pear cake is delicious and with a great latte your well on your way to a great pit stop and top up to set you right for the rest of the day!

A lovely place to eat. Great service very friendly and attentive staff. Food and drink was excellent. Price was a buy steep but no more than you would pay in other more up market tea shops on the high St. Would recommend to all.

Good traditional cafe/restaurant with a very big garden centre attached! Quite attractive large inside seating area and reasonable outside terrace overlooking the garden displays. Good menu with plenty of gluten-free and vegy options.

Very nice experience. Welcoming and friendly staff. Food was very well presented and, more importantly, very tasty. I had the belly pork, and I have to say it was the best belly pork I'd had in 10 years. There was an issue with the till on the day we visited, which could have caused massive inconvenience, but it was dealt with very professionally by all members of the team. It's definitely worth eating there.
