Two A Tea

Enjoyed an afternoon tea with my daughter n cousins. Loved that we got our own pot of tea which was yummy. Ordered a salad to go along with it but was less than impressed with the presentation. The tea sandwiches needed to have a lil more umph! Just ordinary bread with different fillings. Atmosphere was quaint nice but the food needs to be amped up a little. All in all was a nice afternoon.

This was my first time going anywhere for tea and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Before my boyfriend brought me here I didn’t even know that something like this existed! The outside is very quaint looking. Victorian style kind of. And the inside is even cuter! Lots of ornate frilly designs. It feels like you’re in a cottage in Alice in wonderland. The tea was delightful and served in pretty tea pots with colorful tea cozies. I really liked all the different plates and tea sets too. The food was all delicious (especially the lavender and white chocolate scone with all the different spreads!) but I didn’t get to try all the sandwiches because I ended up getting full and wanted to save a little space for dessert. We went all out to try everything (which I definitely recommend if you can spend the cash) and spent about $ 85 including tip for 2 people. The food and tea are good, the staff is great and overall it was an awesome experience!
P. S. try the rosewater lemonade! It’s heaven!

This place did a really good job on making you feel very special The staff are super attentive and very sweet. The food delicious and fun to eat. The décor reminded me of when I was Both my daughter and I don’t like seeing Christmas décor after christmas.

My family has been going here for quite some time. They have amazing food here! The desserts, the sandwiches are way better than before, and the scones are to die for. I love the table settings too. Everything is so elegant. My sisters, mother, and I always have a great time. It is homey and intimate. Don’t forget to make reservations! You cannot just walk in and expect to get a table. You need to plan in advance. Wear something nice too. Jeans are not acceptable. Definitely will continue to come back here.

Went here with my Mom and we both enjoyed the visit for the most part.
We both got the Queen’s Tea which included a pot of tea, warm scone with lemon curd, jelly, and clotted cream, sorbet, finger sandwiches, and a dessert. They had a huge selection of both Green, Herbal and Black teas. I had the Apricot Green Tea which was delicious and she had English Breakfast. The scone, lavender white chocolate, was warm upon arrival.
The presentation was lovely and the room was very quaint. The only criticism is that one of the gals serving us had the personality of a paper clip. No smiles, no welcoming demeanor. Just a bit of friendliness would have been nice.
Other than that, we had a nice time here and may return in the future. Next time we will not eat lunch an hour prior because we were stuffed and had to take some of the edibles home!

This place is really cute. What a great idea. My co-​workers and I had a Groupon and made a reservation. The tea selection is huge and enticing. We got the «Queens Tea» Service, which included a pot of tea, a scone, multiple finger sandwiches and a dessert each. The tea was delicious, as was all of the food. It was such a fun, relaxing experience. The building is quite cozy (pretty small) but laid out well. I enjoyed that it felt like being guests in someone’s dining room. I would absolutely come here again. The clotted cream was absolutely delicious, as were the white chocolate lavender scones. I hope it does well and sticks around a while.

I’ve visited Two a Tea before with my mother, who is a tea fanatic! We’ve always had great experiences, and relaxing tea afternoons at Two a Tea! Our last experience was a bit different, and I was told by my mother that owners have recently changed. Which would not be a problem, if consistency of customer service remained the same.
Sadly, I believe the customer service (or lack of) we received on our last trip, was courtesy of the owner herself.
First off, when served our tea, we were not offered cream or milk… Which we had to ask for… no biggie, just odd. My second, and largest complaint, was as follows:
I chose a chair that had my back facing a walk way between tables. Mind you, I did not move or place my chair in any other position other than how I found it. As the tea room began to get more crowded, the owner asked me if I could please scoot my chair to the side. Odd, you’re the one who placed this chair here? But anyhow, I moved, as I didn’t want anyone to trip over the poorly placed chair. Mind you, as a pregnant woman, moving the bulky chair and scooting it in for a second time was difficult, but whatever. After moving my chair the owner continuously kicked my chair as she walked by. She never saw me physically move my chair, but I had. I found it odd she was the only one kicking my chair as she walked by, but others who passed didn’t seem to have this problem? Even an elderly lady with a walker?
My mother at some point asked for more hot water in her tea pot, as we were never offered. The owner said «sure», walked by without grabbing it, and never came back.
Upon seeing us get up from our table, we were not thanked by her. In fact, I thanked her. In addition, on the way out the door, the other employee did not say «bye» «thank you» or «have a nice day».
I’d give a lower review, but this was just one experience, and I’m hoping one day I can update this review to something better. In addition, food and tea were still tasty.
P. S. Christmas decorations still up a month after Christmas?

I’ve enjoyed many a Tea Room in my day and this Tea Room, «Two A Tea» is by far «thee» best tea parlor I’ve ever dined in. From the minute you walk in, you are transported into another time and place. And it’s so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The décor is quaint & whimsical. Christmas still clung to the walls and for some reason it was nice to feel the spirit of Christmas still in the air (it was January 21^st, 2016)
We had the Queen’s Tea (from Groupon) for Two but upgraded to the High Tea so we could add soup & salad. We started with Pumpkin Spice scones, clotted cream, a smooth lemon curd and homemade raspberry jam. The Florentine Tomato bacon soup was delicious followed by a salad with walnuts and homemade dressing. Everything here is made from scratch and it shows or should I say you can taste it. We had five different types of tea sandwiches, ranging from egg salad, roasted veggies and Cream Cheese to Turkey & Cranberry. Each one was unique with it’s own distinct flavor, moist and delicious.
We hardly had room for dessert and there was a choice of three ~ a chocolate cake with ice cream, a hearty fruit cobbler with ice cream and a pumpkin croissant bread pudding with whip cream. I had the cobbler and it was fabulous. By friend, Rose, had the Chocolate cake, she loves chocolate. She said it was the best cake she’d ever had.
By the way… (I didn’t take notes so my apologies to the owner and her assistant if I got any of the food descriptions wrong). We will be back and we plan to bring our mom’s. Then after a two hour relaxing «spot of tea and outstanding food»… we’ll head over to the thrift shop next door and do a little shopping.

Our ladies Tea Event is usually held here at Two a Tea at a minimum yearly… it has always been pleasant, delicious, the décor is tastefully done and service had always been outstanding.
Unfortunately, this time around the owner was quite unpleasant (I hope it was just because she had a bad day and that it won’t continue).
We had 30 mins to clear out before we needed to be out and she came up to the speaker and told her «you need to be out by such and such or there will be consequences»…I couldn’t believe what she told her… WAIT what? …you’re treating a grown adult like a child (we have never over-​stayed our time).
When the speaker went to the restroom… the owner of the place Again said «You know when I told you that you had to be gone before such and such time? well there Will be consequences if you’re not»…Again, WAIT… what?
I have recommended this place to SO MANY people these past 8 years or more and I so want to un-​recommend this place to City Hall ladies; Women’s Events ladies; Church Tea Party Events; Hospital Ladies Events; Art Gallery Ladies events and to many of the smaller ladies events that have been coming here. The few that we recently shared our unpleasant experience were disappointed at the New Owner’s actions.
The Previous Owner was Very Pleasant and accommodating.
*****New Owner of Two a Tea… don’t be bias on who (a paying customer)…please choose to do the RIGHT thing and treat ALL your paying customers equally with respect****
The other customers that were there were pleasant with us and had no ill against us (OWNER shame on you). Smile, be consistent in bringing the hot tea refrills, just LIKE YOU DID WITH EACH OF THE OTHER PAYING CUSTOMERS.
Every one of our ladies with us were friendly, smiling back with respect and thankful as the service was performed.
If you have not had to experience this type of bias or rude service, then I am very glad & happy because Tea Parlors are GREAT to enjoy, reminisce, create new memories. eat delicious sandwiches, savor the homemade from scratch scones and appreciate the décor & effort that the owners put into such a places.
SIDE NOTEt: Next time you go, read up on how ladies back in the days would have a REAL tea-​get-​together, how they held their spoon, their tea cup and what NOT to do… lol it’s amazing and interesting and a little history is always good to learn.
Sincerely,
Two a Tea patron

Not the juiciest Tea place
I got the groupon for $ 30 and I felt like almost cheated, paid about $ 40 for 2 people with tax and tip. The sandwiches were average to below average. The plates didn’t even come in the tier, it was on a regular plate. The teacup seemed plastic. They were selling a lot of the expensive upscale teacups, but we were not using them at the tables.
The desserts were whatever. The only thing that could have been somewhat good was the scone which wasn’t even that good. The crème fraîche didn’t taste that good either. I don’t know why but the whole experience seemed cheap and below average.
The service was fine and the ambiance looked like it could have been a better experience. It was color coordinated and looked pretty but the place seemed dirty. It was definitely not the high tea experience you would get normally.
They got 2 stars because they tried and teas were decent. I got the earl grey tea and vanilla rum which tasted decent. This is not close to where I live either so I won’t be purposely coming back here for the tea time.

Excellent service, ambiance, tea, and food. I absolutely enjoyed it! It’s a very English country feeling which means it is more causal than the rest of the high teas I go to. However, always remember to use your manners, use a low volume inside voice and still dress appropriately. The venue is quaint, intimate, and a great place to spend time with mom or a close friend for catching up. I will return to this place again

This place is lovely! The décor is so cute and feels so cozy. Even the bathroom was adorable.
We ordered the queen’s tea and everything was delicious! The scones were my favorite! They were fresh out of then oven and I loved the lemon curd, cream, and jam. The sandwiches were also tasty, and the dessert was wonderful! Oh! And they give you a sorbet palate cleanser which is also very nice.
They have a very nice tea selection. We chose the raspberry patch, mango orange, and vanilla coconut. We enjoyed them all but Vanilla coconut was my fav. I even bought some to make at home.
The service was great too. Very attentive and welcoming. This is a great place to have some afternoon tea, you will love it!

ambiance/​/​*****
tucked away in the residential neighbourhood is a house converted into a tea room makes it an adorably cozy sitting room
literally every usable space in the house is changed… including the nook into a small area as well
service/​/​*****
i was pleasantly surprised at their welcoming attitude
at first i was hesitant to show them the living social coupon before dining
sometimes places can can be annoyed when presented with a coupon
the ladies at two a tea were delightfully different… they not only checked on us regularly, they even told me i get a 10% discount with my entire purchase because of the coupon
guess who walked out of there with a goodie bag? ;p
food/​/​****
various sets include soup and salad… we went with the Queen’s set which was plenty
ok i’ll admit i have a soft spot for royal albert… it makes everything look tastier~
the tea selection wasn’t extensive, but had a good variety
haha~ well even so… i liked their scone was freshly baked and flavours change… we had the apricot scone
the sandwiches were served in plates more reminiscent of the scottish minimalism approach… which i quite like^^
instead of petit fours they served a dessert of your choice… freshly made~
i’m ok with the sandwich, but the tea and scone were my favorite by far
~*~
wow! there were loads of people so definitely make a reservation^^

Cutest tea place ever!!! Love going and dressing up. You def need a reservation and they fill fast. I always do a living Social special. My fave tea is cherry amaretto with cream.

Afternoon tea is my favorite way to eat brunch, period. Cuteness meets yummyness. My sister purchased a living social deal for $ 29 which included two Queen’s Teas for my mommy’s birthday. The cuteness factor is apparent even from the outside with an adorable curb appeal, inside is a beautiful Victorian décor. Each table has it’s own unique color scheme and teaware theme and we picked the red and pink table. My mommy’s favorite color is red and mine is pink. It was perfect.
I ordered the Almond Cream and she ordered the Cranberry Pomegranate. The almond cream was light and went well with sugar and creamer. The cranberry pomegranate was refreshing and tasted delicious by itself.
The scones are my favorite part of afternoon tea and this place definitely delivered. They were delicious and I enjoyed the lemon curd and the clotted cream. We both have a sweet tooth and my mom especially liked the jams and marmalades. The clotted cream complemented the scones well, just like bread and butter. The lemon curd was tangy and was refreshing to the palate. SO GOOD!
The sorbet came out next as a palate cleanser and it was so yummy and sweet. The portion was small, but perfect to follow the sandwiches. The cucumber sandwich and the egg sandwich is always my favorite and it was no different here. For dessert I ordered the chocolate cake and she ordered the cobbler. The chocolate cake was decadent and delicious topped with thick whipped cream. The cobbler was warm and fruity with two scoops of ice cream. We thoroughly enjoyed everything.
This place is definitely not for someone who loves to frequent the buffet. I am always on a diet and love the chance to splurge but not go crazy and these portions were perfect for me. Men may want to order the Royal High Tea which includes a soup and salad. The tea is refillable and people may get full on that alone. My mom and I were hungry again within a few hours. Tea is definitely an experience that shouldn’t be rushed, but the service here was just a little on the slower side than I would have liked but they were very pleasant and nice. I love that this place is close by my parent’s house!

I had the pleasure to check out this quaint team room this past weekend because of a LivingSocial deal for The Queen’s Tea (package for two people). They are located on the corner near a residential area. Seems like this place used to be a house that was converted to a tea room. Two a Tea has been open for 9 years. We have had afternoon tea before in Hong Kong but never in the States because it’s just so pricey here, so this was definitely a first. Things to try list: Check!
The Queen’s Tea:
A Pot of Tea (Almond Cream and Cherry Amaretto)
Scone of the Day with Accompaniments (made from scratch cranberry scones w/​tangy homemade lemon curd, clotted cream, and homemade jam)
Sorbet Palate Cleanser (mango sorbet palate cleanser)
Assortment of Savory Finger Sandwiches (cucumber slices, egg salad, turkey breast w/​homemade jam (or was it fig?), and roasted veggie)
Choice of Dessert (blueberry apple cinnamon cobbler w/​ice cream, peach bread pudding w/​ice cream)
There seemed to be a bridal shower party in the big room so we were seated in the smaller room located right near the entrance and the restroom. The room where we sat was Victorian styled along with a few items around that one could purchase. There are many different tea sets that they use, variety for everyone/​party. Very cute.
Note: At the bottom of their menus, they ask that patrons limit tea times to 2 hours. I guess a good reminder since some will love to stay and chat, while others may want to also be seated.
I had made a reservation the week of for the upcoming Saturday. Everything went smoothly from my reservation time to arrival. The seating and paying was a bit confusing though. Once we sat down, the front hostess already took my LivingSocial deal while the server was wondering if we had the coupon on hand. A bit of miscommunication there. Even when paying, you take the bill up to the front cashier to pay but no one was there. They were all prepping and cleaning the main room after the bridal shower party left.
First off, the pots of tea are huge! We barely made it halfway through the pot but I am not sure if one can finish such a huge pot within 2 hours. You have the option to have tea with milk, cream, and etc. We chose to have cream with our tea. The teas were perfectly balanced and not too overpowering in their flavors. We both liked the almond cream the most, compared to the cherry amaretto. The made from scratch cranberry scones came out pipping hot, warm and fluffy. Loved it especially with the clotted cream and the homemade jam. Wonderful! I am one that loves lemon squares but I just was not enjoying the lemon curd with the cranberry scone; everyone has different tastes and preferences. The mango sorbet palate cleanser was a few tiny bites to clean the palate. The assortment of finger sandwiches were okay. Our favorite was the roasted veggie and we loved how they had wheat bread on one side and white on the other. Very creative. I am not sure how finger sandwiches usually are but there was just too little inside (like one layer of thinly sliced cucumbers thin) and felt it was more like eating bread, the bread was soft and fresh. But don’t let the food size fool you, we were quite stuffed even before the desserts came so we had to package half of the dessert to go as we were filled to the brim. I guess lots of tea also helps with making us full.
Overall, a great place to catch up with friends or loved ones over afternoon tea. It’s more of a treat than a place where one would be back every week because of the price tag that comes along with it unless one has the means to. There is also only 1 restroom downstairs for everyone, so time it wisely! Great service and good food. Had a lovely time, thank you Two A Tea!

The older lady that was servicing us was incredibly hospitable and sweet.
I like this place just on her alone… My sisters and i decided to try Two A Tea after seeing a deal on Livingsocial for $ 29 for 2 Queen’s Tea package.
Décor was Victorian style with everything decked out perfectly. even the restroom had a Victorian Style Hand wash next to the real sink.
Our tea were quite similar but we all really liked it for the most part. We all got full off of the Freshly made cranberry scones and it was probably our favorite out of everything. The scones paired perfectly with the three different types of toppings, Strawberry jam, lemon jam and creamcheese wipped. SOOOOOO good!
Or sandwhiches later came out in a plate but we later asked if they can give us the full experience and they changed it to a teir.
Sandwhiches were okay and small but to frank by that point we were pretty stuff by one scone and 3 cups of tea!
At the end of it all we got 2 desserts and the apple crumble dish was a lot yummier than the chocolate cake.
adorable place and cute for a one time expereince!

Never thought I would be down for this kind of thing… but I suppose I’m fancier than I thought.
So. my sister took care of all the reservations and such, since she’s been here one time before. We came for Mother’s day, which I think is like… THE holiday to go for, if any. It was nice. The rooms were kinda jammed up with guests, but it was bright and airy, and the whole place smelled of some delicious baked goods.
I think there’s usually different kinds of «tea» courses to choose from, but as it was Mother’s day there was only one choice — «The Royal High Tea» which was about $ 34 per person. Damn. lol
The menu is pretty simple, and when you read through it, it may seem underwhelming considering $ 34 can buy you AYCE sushi, KBBQ, or a filling meal at Boiling Crab or whatever whatever. But fear not! You WILL be full by the end of this. It takes like 2 hours for the whole thing btw. It’s not fast food. in fact it’s the slowest food ever lol.
So there are 5 courses: Scone, soup, salad, tea sandwiches, and dessert. There is also an unlimited (probably anyway lol) amount of tea! You choose from a large… LARGE selection of teas, and you get your own pot. The pot is freakin cute. I had no idea what the hell a tea cozy was until I came here lol.
Personally… I LOVED the tea. I mean I love tea in general, but I never had «tea time» like this before. Alright alright I get it now. My inner fancy came out. So I chose the almond cream and I think that was my fave flavor at our table. Tried some other ones like the blood orange, rose, and monkey… something lol. All were flavorful and different! I only wish I could have more flavors since they had too many to choose from. lol.
The (cranberry?) scone was SCRUMPTIOUS. On the table, there’s already some prepared lemon curd, fruit preserves, and «clotted cream» according to Unilocal.I’ve never had it before but if you ask me, it tastes like a whipped vanilla cream cheese. cream. lol. When you slather all of those things on your scone… it’s SO GOOD.
I chose the black bean soup (tomato bisque was the other choice), and I think my choice was an excellent one. I tried some of my sister’s tomato bisque, which was good, but I preferred mine more. It comes with a small dollop of sour cream and pieces of crispy tortilla strips. Yum.
The salad was okay. It was very simple, and it reminded me of a caprese salad… minus the basil. It was pretty good though.
By the time we got to the tea sandwiches, everyone was full. I did manage to try bits of some, and actually… they were surprisingly tasty! I mean, it’s so simple, but there was one that I REALLY liked, I think it was… roasted veggies with feta? Something like that. There was also some yummy tuna sandwiches, cucumber cream cheese, etc. Not bad… not bad at all. But we did get most of the sandwiches boxed up lol. There was simply no room.
Dessert — a choice between chocolate cake, fruit cobbler, or croissant pudding. Got the cobbler while my sis got the croissant pudding so we could try both… oh man they were both delicious! I think this place does really well when it comes to baked/​sweet stuff… Yum.
Overall. an excellent experience. Could only be made better if I was actually starving or if I could choose ALLLL the teas. lol

I love this place! I had a living social deal with this place (Queen’s Tea package) and made a reservation in advance, which I recommend because when my boyfriend and I walked it, the place looked full.
Service here is excellent and very friendly. Although our server forgot to place our salad and soup order, she was apologetic and told us we will not need to pay tax on our living social deal. I was actually glad she forgot about our soup and salad because we were stuffed!
The food they serve is good. The cranberry scone we had was nice and fresh, hot out of the oven, with that nice crisp to it. It came with 3 types of spread for the cranberry. They were all very good. Next, they handed us the raspberry sorbet; very sour, but so good, I wanted more. The portion of the sorbet was small enough to scoop onto the tea spoon you have. Then came the assorted finger sandwiches. There were 5 different flavors. All were delicious! Lastly, came dessert. They offer 3 selections. I had the vanilla something with chocolate cake or brownie with whipped cream. I wasn’t a fan of the dessert. My boyfriend at the apple cobbler. It was a little too sweet for me, considering I love sweets. The ice cream on the apple cobbler was the best on the apple cobbler. Haha.
Their tea is very good. I chose passionfruit. Their tea pot is huge. I was only able to finish about half of the pot. I loved how the tea was still nice and hot after sitting on the table for some time.
Overall, good experience. I recommend making a reservation with Two A Tea before deciding to go.

I’ve come here numerous times. It’s my absolute favourite!
Let’s start with service. They are extremely kind, well-​mannered and thoroughly attentive… they are happy to explain anything to you about the menu and bring everything out in a timely manner. Just great people over all!
The food is delicious and their tea selection is vast! I generally always go for broke and order the Royal High Tea. You get everything! Warm delicious scones with absolutely heavenly devonshire cream and jam! Their soups and salads vary but they usually have about 2 each to choose from and you can never go wrong with either. Their tea sandwiches are great and they have a variety to choose from. The great thing is… since I’m vegetarian they always have a veggie soup or salad option, and they serve me only the veggie sandwiches!
The atmosphere is quaint, victorian, and french cottage… you feel like you stepped in to a delicate 19^th century English home. It’s so warm and inviting!
During the holidays its transformed to an English christmas! They put up lights, a tree, use Christmas china, and switch to christmas coloured linens!
I also brought a large group of 24 for a tea party. To say that they were more than accommodating is an understatement. Many girls got their late and they kept their food warm for them. They addressed every need. I even told them that its ok if my late invitees food was cold because when you are over 30 min late, I’m sorry… that’s not my problem… but the owners were nicer than ME! They took it in stride and made sure everyone had a great experience!
I honestly can’t say enough great things about this place. I’ve been there many times for many occasions and have NEVER had a negative experience! Make sure you make reservations and go NOW!
