My kids have gone here multiple times- for tea, for snacks, for tea set shopping- and the staff have always been extremely courteous and kind. The store itself is quaint and the goods for sale are high quality, albeit relatively pricey. 5/5 ...
Had a wonderful afternoon having English breakfast tea with some amazing Cornish pasties and sausage rolls. I definitely recommend it.
High tea at Shakespeare is one of my favorite things to do in San Diego. The teas and treats are yummy and presentation is always adorable. The ladies who go dress to impress and they do some really fun theme teas as well. I went to a Harry Potter themed tea in October and the decorations were amazing!
I wanted to try traditional afternoon tea and was not disappointed. Luckily for me, I manage to get a reservation on last minute. They offered almost sixty varieties of tea. Food was excellent and service was too. Only drawback will be too much caffeine as you enjoy the tea.
Perfect cozy afternoon tea. It was all lovely! I used to go to tea when visiting family in Canada. Most of the tea places I have been to in the US are kitschy, But this one was nice and didn't feel hokey. Lots of tea choices. The food has options for vegetarians and vegans, so that was appreciated by my friend who prefers vegetarian meals.
Wonderful high tea, themed with Winnie the Pooh. Every item was thought through carefully to incorporate the theme. They look great in the pictures but even better when you taste them! It seems that they will be having a Harry Potter theme also coming up!!!
Every single aspect of our Tea was exceptional. The food and tea were both delicious. SO many courses, arrive hungry. They are small bites but that is deceiving. We ate every single thing and were positively stuffed! The service was wonderful, the waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all our food/tea/culture questions! The shop inside is a ton of fun. We purchased more tea, some brittish snacks and candies too! They have hand pies inside. We will be sure to purchase those the next time we're in town.
