Two A Tea

Walked in a cloudy day to buy loose leaf tea. They happened to have walk-in available today. My friend and I enjoyed duchess tea. It came with a scone, soup, finger sandwiches and a pot of tea. I chose cherry vanilla tea which was delicious! The scone was served with a side of 3 toppings, lemon curd, clotted cream, and a jam. I tried all three flavors and mixed the cream and jam together. Absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful. We told the waitress we were on our 1hr lunch break and she sped the courses up. I left feeling satisfied with my meal and relaxed. Back to work now :)

Very nice staff and a huge selection of teas. We had a group of ten and used a Groupon which made the queens tea package $15 per person (plus tax and tip) instead of the usual $26 ish. Very Gluten-Free considerate. I was at no extra cost given a salad instead of the scone, all the fillings for sandwhiches (without bread) with a pile of cucumber slices to dip and sorbet instead of the normal dessert. At other tea houses I pay as much as everyone else but only get a very small salad and the tea, where everyone else also got a huge varitety of scones and sandwiches as well. So I was grateful for the accomidations here and they had a plan and knew what gluten was and how to accomidate without me having to explain. The most dissappointing part was how plain the china was. Not fine china but kinda 70's dinner were kind? We came toward the end of the day and they set out really nice ones for the next day, so maybe their nicer ones were dirty? The tea pots were plain white but a classic shape, one per person and each had a custom tea cozy (to keep it warm), that dressed it up. Staff was nice. I would defineitely go back and might even bring my own prettier cup ;)

Make sure to call/email to make reservations. Space is limited. Street parking and it's located right at the corner. I didn't know this place existed until I saw it on Groupon. The service was a bit slow, but friendly. I've tried other places and this place is mediocre. I'm glad i didn't try this place and paid full price.
