What customers say?

“ Such cute and cozy tea room! This place is reservations only, which I didn’t know before visiting. I travelled far to come here, so the owner was kind enough to take me in for a cup of tea. Their Christmas tea was so good. If you love Bridgerton kind of ambiance, you need to check this place out. The whole downtown area was small but cute, covered in snow with Christmas decor, so it was worth visiting. It was giving hallmark town vibe. I am definitely coming back with a reservation! ”

“ We decided to try high tea with Gerri on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm even with a bridal party happening at the same time they were able to accommodate a table for 2. We were very happy. Gerri the Owner was very friendly and accommodating and seated us promptly she was happy we stopped by. The servers were both wonderful and attentive even with the party going on in the back ground. The tea was fresh and warm and delicious. The sandwiches tasted fresh and delicious only thing I would recommend is season the egg sandwiches a little more it was a bit dry and lacked flavor. The raisins scones were fantastic paired with the jams the desserts were delicious as well. I would highly recommend this place for afternoon tea! 10/10, would return. Thank you! ”

“ We hosted my sister’s wedding shower at High Tea with Gerri, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. Gerri is so lovely to work with, as is her team of planners and servers. They were quick to respond to questions, and helped us incorporate some special touches that were meaningful to our family. They truly went above and beyond! The room was absolutely lovely, and all of our guests commented on the decor and beautiful settings. The food was delicious, and I wish I could have eaten more! Everything on the menu is lovingly crafted with an artistic eye, and tastes as good as it looks! As a business owner in the hospitality sector, I know the amount of hard work that goes into delivering a top notch experience for guests. High Tea with Gerri is one of the few businesses I’ve found who live up to the same standards I uphold for my business. You can’t go wrong with booking them. ”

“ Delightful experience! I had afternoon tea and it was a lovely experience. They had some pretty standard tea sandwiches, desserts, and raisin scones with clotted cream, lemon curd, and strawberry jam. Everything was very well made and the attention to detail with the sandwiches was great. Their specialty tea is an English breakfast-earl grey mix. The tea was very good, did not need cream or sugar. Sonya helped us on that day and she was also lovely. Described everything very well and was attentive and kind. This afternoon tea was the perfect portion and a fair price at $48 per person. Afternoon tea is less courses than the standard service. I would maybe try the standard just to taste everything, but I would have ended up with too much food. ”

“ We had a delightful time enjoying High Tea with Gerri. We had made reservations ahead of time but unfortunately one of our friend became sick and could not attend. At first we were told we would have to still pay for the missing person, but later they did take the extra charge off of our bill which was really appreciated. We did understand that all of the preparation for our high tea was made ahead of time and the last minute change to our reservation was of no fault of theirs. The only downside to our experience is that we were seated with a 9 year old's birthday celebration group. This made for a LOUD experience and we were under the impression we were going to have a refined more intimate afternoon. ”

“ It's a lovely and elegant place for tea and a memorable experience. Staff were great! (Sonia was our server/hostess) The interior here is gorgeous with all the decor, dishes, etc. There's a lot of attention to detail here. The food is delicious and art to the eyes. The tea was perfect. We enjoyed every part of our experience here. We recommend to anyone who can afford it. Thank you! ”

“ This was such a charming tea place! I went with my friend and it was so cozy and relaxing! The tea and food are wonderful! ”

“ What a wonderful experience. I brought some of the special women in my life for the unique experience of high tea. Every one was so impressed and happy. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I really love that they thought about making sure to take pictures of the guests at the table as well. I might recommend hand wipes in a pretty bowl for after the courses because some foods are easier eaten with hands. ”
