Best Afternoon Tea Restaurants in Brighton

We had a lovely experience at Silver Dove…four friends out for an afternoon in Boston. The service was outstanding , they were so welcoming and knowledgeable about the teas and the tea sandwiches. They offered a vegetarian option as well. Each tea sandwich was so unique and tasty and we found there to be so much food yet we managed to finish it all! Would love to return!! Thank you to the staff for making this such a pleasant experience!!

To preface, this is my third tea room that I have been to in Boston. I have been to Trifecta, the BPL, and also Jolie Tea Company in Salem, MA. From previewing pictures, I was not very impressed with the Rowes Wharf as the table setting and food looked a little lackluster compared to the other experiences I mentioned. However, now having been, I can absolutely understand why this is rated the best afternoon tea in the city- the food is DELICIOUS. I think my favorite out of all my tea experiences so far. Service was also very good and the noise level was very low when we went (2:30 on a Sunday). Ambiance was nice on the water and there is easy access outside to walk around after. I did think the tea selection was limited, however the server was excellent at describing each one and our entire party of 5 each liked our teas.

What a cute place! It would be a great place to come back for a birthday or celebration. My friend and I enjoyed our time together there.

The service was perfect and the ambiance was lovely. The teas were very nice and were well timed with the food. The servers were very attentive. I would have liked a little more food like one more small sandwich but all and all it was a lovely experience.

It was a truly wonderful experience and great alternative to hyper expensive afternoon tea options without stripping any of the niceties.
