    Fantastic experience. Service was excellent. Adorable setup. My kids and I went for a Mother’s Day Tea with grandma too. My only tip is I would not recommend it for small kiddos because the space is very intimate and quiet with just a few small tables. My 5 yr old was not behaving so i’m glad we lucked out with being the only table reservation during our time slot.

    Our experience at The Littlest Tearoom was nothing short of magical! My 20 year old daughter and I both loved the tea, the food and the ambiance. Ashley was a gracious and kind hostess. In a world of disconnection, stress and unbelievable politics, finding a gem like this to escape to for an hour and a half is priceless.

    The experience overall was amazing! Carter gave so much insight into the teas and layout of the bites. The ambiance was on a level as well. I have been to afternoon tea in a lot of places and this was a special one no doubt.

    Our adventure to The Littlest Tea Room was amazing! We enjoyed the Exclusive Littlest Tea which included delicious savory and sweet treats - the lemon custard was phenomenal - along with 2 pots of tea. We had the Ghost Garden and Amber Grove. Both were so yummy in their own ways. Highly recommend enjoying all they have to offer and going the Exclusive Littlest Tea experience. You also get a cute glass of bubbly to top it off! Carter was a delight as he brought us our treats. He was very knowledgeable on all of the teas, best options for what we were looking for, and overall a great soul! When we had about 30 minutes left, he gently came over to let us know so we were prepared as our time was coming to a close. There has been so much thought put in to how they interact with guests and it shows! The space is small and cozy with tables, chairs and couches. While we were there, 2 separate groups were there too. While it's quiet and cozy, we were so wrapped up in our fun, we hardly noticed the others. We had a bit of a panic getting there due to noticing that our reservation was made for a Monday, but their website and social media stated they were closed on Mondays. After a quick email, Ashleigh ensured us that they were open for our reservation and we were welcome to come in! It was so nice to see that although the booking allowed for us to book on a closed date, they honored our reservations and were so kind about it. Definitely a delightful experience! If you're hesistant, book the reservation!! You will not be disappointed!

    My friends and I had a wonderful time at the tea room! We went with the Exclusion Littlest Tea option and it did not disappoint. There were two other small groups there but everyone kept their conversations relatively quiet and we didn’t disrupt one another. I would definitely go back!
