    This beautifully decorated tea room is the gem of Brooklyn! We have been there several times and love the atmosphere, especially outside, where the tables are well spaced and it’s always quiet. This area now has a lucite roof cover so is useful in all seasons. The choice of teas is vast and they refilled my pot with fresh tea when I asked for hot water. The sandwiches were great and we ordered extras of a favorite! I enjoyed my scone. This place is one of the few tea places I have been where the scones are made more like British than American scones. They were presented with clotted cream, strawberry jam and lemon curd. Delicious! The staff were very attentive without being intrusive and were really lovely to allow us to hang out there for 3 hours! I highly recommend Brooklyn High Low for your next tea time!

    Another wonderful visit to Brooklyn High Low. The scones are perfection, the finger sandwiches unique and delicious (truffle chicken salad, I think I love you). The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the whole vibe of the place is cozy and comfortable.

    The Brooklyn high low full spoil experience is truly 10/10. So glad I got to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mom here, she had the most amazing time. I highly recommend, and I absolutely will be back.
