A secret tea room in Grant Park, where stories steep, pastries whisper, and magic lingers. Weekend high tea, by curious reservation.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews!!!
This place is Amazing! The food, all made in house, is delicious, fresh, and warm. The tea is flavorful and perfect. I came here with my daughter for a Mommy daughter date, it was so fun!
A lady named Pretty (name fitting!) served us and we had the the very best service.
We used to go to the Candler Park location. While we enjoyed it, this move seems to have really taken the place up a few notches. I am looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful time, and the staff was very kind. The tables were already set up when we arrived with our reservation name. They offered two teas – one black and one green. The scones and sandwiches were very good!! The cookies and cupcakes were extremely sweet, but the brownies were great. Overall, it was really good for the price!
The only thing I would add would be the tiny spoons for stirring in cream & honey. They do provide honey if you ask for it. It seems like they have worked hard to make improvements based on past reviews!
I would recommend!

Not all that bad, however for the price ($29 per person) I was a little disappointed in the quality. You no longer get to choose your tea, all guests get the same tea of the day. We were also given just oat milk for a cream for our tea. Some of the pastries were a bit dry and they don’t seem to be made in house, more grocery store bakery style. The tea host was pleasant and kind though.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS. This place was cheap and had delicious sandwiches, scones w clotted cream, tea, and victorian cake. The inside is such a cute and kitschy little tea house. It was hard to find because there wasn’t any signage out, but it’s inside through the bakery doors. There were walls full of books and umbrella decor on the ceiling; it really set the mood. The teacups/plates were also adorable- felt like going to grandma’s house. I don’t understand the low reviews cuz u can’t get cheap afternoon tea anywhere and this spot was the perfect bang for a buck!

I’ve never been to a “high tea” service and wanted to try it out. After initially making my reservation for the wrong date, I emailed the company and they were polite, and were able to reschedule. Our server Pretty was so welcoming and friendly and described the 2 “holiday” tea selections. We loved both and were able to get a refill of each. We had savory foods such as quiche, cucumber sandwiches and a really delicious pimento cheese sandwich, and a variety of baked goods like scones with cream, cookies, brownies, mini muffins and fresh fruit. Whether or not these items are baked fresh in house, I don’t know, but we loved everything and not a bite was left! Pretty explained that they are currently only open for weekend reservations, but I hope they are successful and end up being open for walk-ins some week days. While you might want to find a fancier place for a truly special occasion (at triple the cost) I thought the $29 price per person was perfect for a lovely experience.

Came here because the photos on Google look so cute, and I thought they had a pretty good deal on the afternoon tea set.
The vibe: was super cute and relax, perfect place to hang out and chat, or read a book.
Service: We waited around 10 minutes before anyone came out from the kitchen to greet us.
We got the Caroline and was informed after paying that the price went up from $20-$23 ( the price list on the wall wasn’t updated ).
They charged $1 for honey but also informed me that AFTER paying! Honey should be complimentary for tea!
The food: When the plate arrived, the food looked like they were thrown onto the plate. They couldn’t use a nice tray or the tier tray? The food unfortunately looked nothing like the photos, were pretty unappetizing and did not taste good. Everything was dry , stale. The quiche looks like it was more like a flat bread and old.
The cream & jelly were missing from the set. We didn’t realize that until we finished the set.
The tea pot was tea bags , I was expecting loose leaf tea for the tea set. It was truly a disappointment
Overall it’s not a spot I would revisit, Esp with so many options in Atlanta

Great tea experience! My husband and I went to grab some tea & scones (thinking they had a walk up counter type option) but found out when we got there that they only take reservations on weekends for high tea. They were able to squeeze us in last minute for the high tea service, so we were pleasantly surprised to be able to sit down and get the whole experience they offer.
Pretty and Gin were the ladies that served us & went above and beyond to take care of us! It was great!!
They served us quiche, 2 different kinds of sandwiches, scones, clotted cream (more like a whipped cream or Devonshire cream than a traditional clotted cream), fruit & an assortment of pastries. They also served us 2 different kinds of teas. Everything was delicious!
The space itself is very cozy and has a great vibe.
I highly recommend to anyone who’s wanting a great tea experience:)

Had high tea here and it was horrible. More like low tea. We paid $58 for two sandwich’s made on stale bread.
. The quiche was a size of a quarter and had no crust. And the scones were hard and Burt.
The quality of the food was very poor.
I had to ask twice for a cup that was not chipped. I eventually received a coffee cup. The tea was served in a metal old dented tea pot with a led that didn’t close.
. Absolutely nothing special about this place. Don’t waste your money and time. If you want a real traditional high tea go somewhere else.

Delicious tea and finger sandwiches. Best pimento sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. Servings were enough for the 5 people we had in our party. Staff is very hard-working and very responsive. The tearoom decor itself is a bit eclectic, but much more lively than a European tearoom.

I will start with this location is great, and the space was really cute. Everything was served in vintage dish ware and the furniture was shabby chic. I think for the price, it was a little underwhelming. If you were to bring your little kid here, it would be a perfect little tea party for them. I’ve had high tea in London, so I know it’s not really fair to compare, but I was expecting a little bit more.
For the service: the staff was really nice and helpful when choosing the tea. Water wasn’t offered until well into the service and I had to ask for milk for my tea. Not a huge deal. The staff was super friendly though, and it was a busy day.
For the tea and treats: there was a large selection of teas. I thought my tea was a bit weak. I’m used to loose leaf tea, but I understand that it can be messy and most Americans are used to bagged tea, which is fine. It could also have been the variety I chose. I went with herbal, and you need a lot more tea to get it steeped right. I bet a black tea would have been nice and strong and there were over four black tea varieties.
The sandwiches and scones were delicious. Clotted cream is super hard to get in the states, so there was a tasty homemade whipped cream instead. I thought the cookies were a little stale and very comparable to something I would get at the supermarket. I also thought there would be more variety of treats and sandwiches on the tray.
I think I will give it another try because I love the concept and love supporting small businesses. It also could have been the day that I was there as it was a busy Saturday.
