Clockwork Rose Tea Emporium

The food is so good. The service is great. They make you feel so special.

Best tea experience I've had and I have been to many different tea rooms.
Decor was industrial Jules Verne meets Queen Victoria and delightful.
Food was amazing, as was the tea selection. Very courteous and professional staff.
Will be going there again soon!

It was so much fun playing "English". Were able to talk, not rushed, tea was great and food better. I'll go again.

Loved this place! One of our new favorite spots for afternoon tea in Portland. I highly recommend if you're looking for delicious food and an extensive list of teas. We've tried many places for afternoon tea across the US, and this is one of our favorites!

The food was excellent and the tea education was very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed the Soho blend of tea. The scones and clotted cream were especially delicious. They were very accommodating and even gave us our leftover tea to go. We were celebrating our birthdays as a group. At the end of our tea they brought each of a surprise dessert with a candle to celebrate our birthdays. Lovely! Would definitely recommend and will return again.

Best Tea ever! We enjoyed the tea selection and the eclectic decor.

My twin sons who are leaving for college soon took mom to tea, they know me so well. I totally loved it. It's very eclectic, a little Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and perhaps Cptn. Nemo. The teas are top flight. The food was pre selected so you got what you got but very good. The owner is highly allergic to perfume, so don't wear any or you may be rescheduled. It was a really special lunch with my boys.

This was our second time at this tea house. The second time was every bit as good as the first which was excellent. The owners have served us both times and other staff have been helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The food is outstanding and the teas marvelous. Listen as the teas are supremely described and pick the one that suits your fancy. Highly recommend this place.

The food is just not good, especially for the price. The tea was good though, but for $35, just not worth it.

Although it was a cute little place and the idea is fun and different. It is extremely overpriced. For two people to have tea, a small cup of soup and a three tier plate I walked away paying $75.00.
I would understand maybe $40-$50 but $75 was completely overpriced... it was a fun little place but we won’t be going back.

I took 2 of my girls for a special end of summer treat before school starts. We had such a great time. Everything was so pretty and the food was delicious! The waitresses were friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go again!

A wonderful experience while spending time with friends or family while enjoying delicious treats and tea in a unique setting that is full of ambiance. We cannot wait to go back!

Extensive variety of high quality tea. Food and ambiance were great. Well definitely be going back. We’ve been trying put a new tea shop every few months and this was either the best or second best.

One of the best afternoon teas ever! The food was delicious and tasted like everything was from scratch, the ambience was beautiful steampunk.

The owners came to our table for a delightful conversation with owners. Their explanation of the teas served was thorough and enticing. The food served was exactly what you would expect for a high tea, with a surprising twist to the execution. Finally, the ambiance and theme made entire event something to be remembered.

Went here to celebrate my birthday. It was absolute the best! Tea & food was awesome they even made stuff for a few of my friends that had specific food allergies. I love going here!

This was the perfect place to celebrate my Mom’s 70th Birthday party. The tea selection was amazing (Harney & Sons). The staff was very accommodating to special diets). My favorite sandwich was the tomato basil and my favorite sweet treat was the dairy free lemon bar. At the end of our tea the owner cam out and presented my mom with a special cupcake. Beautiful place, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thank you for spoiling us!!!

I can't wait to bring all my friends and family here. Simply the best high tea service I've ever had!

Such a lovely setting, with amazing tea selection and gourmet treats! Can’t wait to return!

It is ALWAYS a totally delightful experience on EVERY level.
Eye candy everywhere, each bite of the carefully prepared and artfully presented food wonderful, and amazing tea.
I love to hear the Tea Talk as I enjoy it and learn so much.
The Nolder’s are amazing and talented people and interacting with them is one of the best features!
We will be back again and again.... and I will continue to bring my family and friends! Love it! Deserves the very best rating out there!!

I loved the décor and the service was excellent. My only complaint would be that the price is a little high compared to other tea houses I have gone too. I am sure I will return though. The food was good, and as I said, the service was excellent.

We had a wonderful time and for many in our group it was a first experience. I highly recommend this tea house.

Fun, quaint, adorable place with great food, phenomenal tea, and excellent service. Not cheap but worth every penny. We will be back!

It was a fun outing with my mom. The choices of tea and explanations were great. The desserts and scones were awesome. The strawberry soup was... Weird. I wasn't a fan of the sandwiches. My mom didn't like the flavor of tea that she picked but we didn't know she could change until at the very end... Oh well. They let you take the tea with you, That was nice. The ambiance could be better, I think. Would be better with nicer floor, more separation between tables, more decorations (not just bare wall with a huge square clock). Service was great, it was fun. Expensive but good for a very special occasion.

I love this place! Such yummy food and a fun relaxed atmosphere.

The atmosphere was so pleasant, service outstanding and food wonderful. A beautiful place to relax and experience a time set aside for just yourselves. I will definitely do this again.

Fantastic tea experience in festive atmosphere! The owner explained the different types of tea from the impressive selection list and we each had our own pot with a candle teapot warmer!!!! The food was delectable from the fresh Strawberry Bisque to the finger sandwiches, Snickerdoodle scones with clotted cream, and Chocolate delicacies (to name a few).Will definitely be going back!!!!

Wonderful place to have tea! The owners are meticulous in everything they do! The food is wonderful and the teas are amazing! Love the decor too!

The entire experience was absolutely delightful. There was an extensive selection of quality teas and the tea service had an incredible selection of tasty treats that were gluten free! The service was impeccable and I would highly recommend them for any special occasion.

The food and tea were stellar as always. And the service was amazing!

Everything about this place was amazing. Service was incredible. They took amazing care and paid great attention to detail. We were a huge group and they made sure we had the best experience. We cannot wait to do it again.

I had such a great experience when visiting Clockwork Rose Tea Emporium last year as a birthday celebration that I returned with three friends for a special ladies tea. It was an absolute delight from the friendly and helpful staff to the tea selections and amazing food. No one knows tea better than co-owner Harold Nolder. Not only has he curated an exceptional selection of teas to please any discerning palate, but he was kind enough to share his passion for tea with our party. Maggie Nolder's teatime salad, pastries and delicacies are, in this reviewers estimate, the best Portland has to offer. And hats off for providing a superb experience for a gluten-free guest. Loved the total experience--I'll be back!

Fantastic experience! Food was fresh and homemade. So yummy.

When I first arrived, I was pleasantly greeted by staff and led to my table. Both owners came up to me at separate times. One to discuss the food, the other to describe the various teas. I settled on Absolem's dream. It starts off as indigo. When a bit of lemon juice is added, it turns purple . Both ways were fun to drink. I bought a tin to bring home.

I picked this tearoom to experience the steam punk decor. I wasn't disappointed. Most of the decorations were made by the owners. Don't miss the squid made of coins in the women's bathroom. If needed ask to take a look. There is also are two surprise guests waiting inside to greet you.

While the decor is steampunk, the food is traditional English fun with a twist. I had two scones. One was snickerdoodle. I don't remember the other. Both had a slightly hard outside with a softer inside. Just the way I like them.

Staff came by to check on me as well as to chat. I I would highly recommend this tea room. If I return to Portland, this would be a " must do" on my list.

This is truly the headliner tea shop for High Tea in Portland. Maggie and Harold do an outstanding job of helping their guests feel relaxed and enjoy an outstanding High Tea service. I can't recommend them highly enough. Plan ahead for your reservations.

Me and my mom have been wanting to go to this place for a while. If you’re into tea, I definitely recommend going there. And even if you don’t, you should go there for the experience. The food was super delicious and the tea was amazing. We spent about two hours eating and talking, and the service was awesome too. Everyone was incredibly nice, and the owners even went to apologize that their water- heater was taking too long, and therefore they took off some items from the bill. What a lovely place!

Such a fun experience! Delicious tea and food. And the decor is amazing. I cannot wait to come back soon!

Fun place for tea. Great tea selection and atmosphere. The food was pretty good- the sausage rolls, quiche, macaroons, cucumber sandwiches and scones were great. The salmon sandwich was not my fave. However portion overall was generous and we left full with leftovers!

Wonderful time with a close friend celebrating her birthday. We had a great time, and enjoyed all the delicious food. A wide variety of tea was also appreciated!

The high tea ticked every box with delightful scones, tea sandwiches and desserts. The odd thing was that although the restaurant is always completely booked out for months, the two times I've gone it's been empty apart from my table. The other odd thing is that a couple members of our group didn't show up but we were forced to purchase their high teas in addition to our own because according to the management, they'd already prepared the food. This made our visit extremely expensive which was very much a drag to those of us who did show up.
