Chocolate Angel Cafe & Tea Room

Wow. I am seriously astounded by the wrinkly blonde-​haired lady who seated me. Is she the manager? Regardless, she is SO rude and unprofessional. Was so hostile. I’m your customer, sweetie, might want to perk up a bit. I won’t be coming back to any of these locations because of YOU alone.

Super adorable and cute tea room. Was expecting grandma décor but was surprised at the comfy seating and unique style. My mom and I both enjoyed our lunch. I had the grilled cheese with bacon and was so delicious. Go for the experience and the great food!

I HATE tomato basil soup. Absolutely have not ever had good tomato soup.
Today, I decided to give Chocolate Angel’s tomato basil soup a try, and it is a WINNER. I love it! I’m so happy. I even told the lady on the phone who took my order that I’ve never liked tomato soup but that their’s looked so good that I would have to try it.
Chocolate Angel caters our business functions and I’ve always gone with the notion that I would eat as little as possible, but of course, when CA caters, I can’t resist. Last night, we had an event that CA catered, and everything was delicious. From their shrimp with lemon, their Parmesan chicken tenders, to their wedding cookies… Everything was delicious.
The inside was so cute, too. They even have prepared meals for you to take home. They have a wonderful variety of teas and coffees and treats and crackers and oh my gosh. Just awesome.
Love it.

The best of the best. Get the pimento sandwich and smile!

My friend help an event here the other day. Before hand we were stressed because she was informed that if someone on our reservation does not show up we would still have to pay for them and if we had extra people show up they would not have enough food for them.
The day came and we were placed in our own private room by the to go area. The room was pretty with mixed tea cups and old wedding photos. As the women showed up we realized the 14 rsvps turned into 17 or 18 people! Thank goodness after talking to the staff they said they can make it work and we will have enough food for everyone.
High tea was amazing and the foods were delightful. The servers were very nice and made sure our tea cups were full.
This was a great get together and I can’t wait to do it again.

EXTREMELY PLEASED with this Tea House!
Yesterday, my sorority alumnae group attended high tea at the Chocolate Angel that I had been planning. I called about a month before and made a reservation for 10 to start and spoke with Carol who was very warm.
About a week before I called to update my reservation as we had some additional RSVPs for the Saturday high tea. I was told that we needed to pay for the amount we RSVPd for– even if they did not show up. And if extra people showed up they would only have enough for 1 – 2 people extra. This is because they only bake enough for the amount coming to high tea (everything is fresh). This got me veryyy nervous. I wound up calling back the morning-​of to modify our RSVP to our final number of 14. Paul was extremely helpful.
Our event was at 3:45pm, and since we had such a large party they put us in the room next to the to-​go area. This was a very cute room– I got really excited!
However, my excitement quickly changed to stress as people turned up who did not RSVP! We wound up with 17 people!!!
The team at the tea house was adaptable and wonderful. They found extra chairs and place settings and set us up. They even managed to scrounge up enough food! :takes a deep breath out:
The food was delicious– very cute trays and they made sure our winter tea was always plentiful. Never an empty cup!
The most surprising part was when they came out with a second plate for everyone that had more desserts! I think our pants were about to bust open!
Exquisite care went into this preparation from Chocolate Angel staff and I truly appreciated it. For the $ 19.99 price each setting (gratuity included) the price was more than fair.
Don’t pass up this venue for a small get together, wedding or baby shower as this is the perfect place!!! Thank you, thank you!

I’m really sad to write this review, because I have enjoyed this place in the past for showers and it truly is a cute and unique place. However, yesterday they showed that they are not particularly savvy at customer service. My sister in law made a reservation with a female yesterday morning, however when we arrived (10 minutes early) the manager said they did not have a record of it, and asked us with whom she spoke (we didn’t know, are we supposed to take a name?). He never said he was sorry, but instead treated us like we were at fault for this mix up or like we were making it up! He asked us to wait while he «worked on it». We waited patiently for 25 minutes standing in the middle of the dining room (there is no waiting area) while about 10 parties (all of whom had reservations on record) were seated. Finally, my sister in law said, sir, do you think there is a chance we will get a table soon? When he replied he «didn’t know, he had to seat all the other people first,» we told him we were leaving. All of that was frustrating and annoying, but the kicker came today when she called today to express her disappointment. He admitted he determined a waitress had taken our reservation and forgot to tell him, but then said «you would have gotten a table if you’d been more patient.» NOT the way to resolve an issue especially when your staff clearly messed up! Never EVER going to this place again and will tell all my friends this story.

Insult to injury… Just spoke with the manager (same «gentlemen» from yesterday). A waitress took our reservation and didn’t notify him. I was then told we didn’t wait patiently! Apparently waiting 30min w a toddler is not enough! And we were told they «might» have a table– not promised one. Then he said he’d have to talk to the hostess to see how long we actually waited. So apparently rectifying the situation depends on how long we waited… Not that we had a reservation and were treated like trash. I’ve never been treated so poorly.

Oh My God…
I love the pretzel salad. This is a cute little tea room that you will receive good service and Great food.
I suggest making a reservation. The day I didn’t the only tabel available was outside and it was raining. It didn’t stop us though…
we ate and enjoyed anyway.

Take your favorite female to have lunch here. It is a tiny little place and the entrance became quite crowded with the 8 of us trying to sit and a group of ladies leaving. Not a lot of space to move around being that the place is wall to wall tables. Have no fear, there were plenty of employees to get us seated and situated. I was tickled by the cute décor and all the ladies celebrating with their friends. Our large table was served quickly, no reason for sandwiches to take long but timing was perfect as we were all enjoying talking. I had the Veggie Delight sandwich. It was very tasty and satisfying. A friend was nice enough to let me taste the strawberry pretzel salad… one regret, not ordering my own. Next time I will go with Tuna salad, strawberry pretzel salad, scone and grilled cheese sandwich. Even my Truck driving, burley country boy husband had enough to eat.
One suggestion for the café, make sure you get ladies lipstick off the drink glasses.

Do not, Do not, Do not go here without a reservation. The food is not worth how your treated when you walk through their doors without a reservation, even when half the tables are empty. Rude

The Chocolate Angel Café and Tea Room has lovely décor and I love their outdoor seating area next door. The service was excellent and very attentive, and there was plenty of tea offered (though it’s their choice of flavor, not yours). Though it’s cute, the foods the thing.
My Afternoon Tea experience was disappointing. There were two small dessert sized plates. First was a plate with a half of a pimento sandwich cut again in half, 2 small round cucumber open faced sandwiches, 1 mini ham/​cheese pastry, 1 mini quiche, 1 tiny chicken salad in a pastry shell, 1 small scone and a small cup of fresh fruit. Next, 4 small pieces of dessert all about 2 inches by 2 inches at most: chocolate cake, white chocolate covered ?, lemon square (I think, it looked right but I tasted no lemon), and one other I can’t recall. The important thing to note is that all were — small– very small, especially for $ 19.99.
BTW, there are some amazing places to have a meal in Dallas for that price with portions big enough to necessitate a doggy bag (begs the question why it’s more costly at a tea room for less?).
After visiting dozens of tea rooms and having worked in restaurants for years, I’ve become increasingly disappointed in a trend I’ve seen over the last 10 years… prices going up and portions going way down. In my home state of Virginia, this has sadly become common. I’d hoped for better in the big state of TX (which I’ve loved otherwise, thank you!). For $ 19 plus I was underwhelmed.

First time here today and it was so good! Tomato Basil soup is wonderful. I had that w/​half a tuna salad sandwich and just loved it. Great décor, not sure why other complained about the service, maybe it was just busy. And it was busy but the service was great, no complaints. Next time I will take an extended lunch or day off and hang out around that area. There are some really nice little shops that I would love to go into. Will be back… try the strawberry cake. AMAZING!

I did not expect this Tea room to be sooooo CUTE! I had a great experience at this location for my friend’s baby shower! It was located in the heart of Richardson and near a Cici’s pizza so you can already imagine where I’m going with this. I’ve never been to a tea party before and I’m so glad that this place took my tea room virginity! lol.
My friend had the back room reserved for the baby shower and the décor was on point. The waiter was really polite and the service was spectacular. We went in the late afternoon (Linner-​time) so each person got a finger food sample tray which I was able to get a picture of. The tray was filled with a variety of mini sandwiches and quiches in addition to the fruit cup. The tea contained a great aroma which I was able to put some sugar cubes in and drink with my pinky finger. I’ve always wanted to do that hahha pinky up!
Overall: I definitely recommend this place for any event or maybe just a girl’s lunch! I absolutely loved everything about this tea room and will hope to maybe plan an event there! LOVED it!

My mother has been convincing my family to go here for months, no joke. She went with friends and coworkers before and she loved it! We finally made it out here one day. The place seems awkwardly placed in a strip mall but the inside is so nicely decorated! The restaurant was actually very busy when we went to my surprise. It might’ve been because it was 4^th of July weekend but maybe also because there is where all the grandmas like to hang out (seriously). We ended up getting seated in a separate room because the main dining area was too crowded, but I liked it better because the room we were in was so cute!
I got the Angel Trio, which includes 3 items from a list of various foods. I chose the strawberry-​pretzel salad, pink arctic freeze, and ½ chicken salad sandwich. The sandwich is standard. The pink arctic freeze is essentially a pyramid of frozen yogurt with fruit bits. Very interesting and surprisingly stayed frozen throughout my meal. The strawberry pretzel salad is really like strawberry jello on top of a layer of pretzel crust. Also very interesting, but I enjoyed it! I tried some of the other dishes on my table (tomato soup, veggie delight sandwich, broccolli raisin salad), and everything was absolutely delicious.
Lunch here is very light yet filling which is perfect. They also have afternoon tea that my mom absolutely loves but that I’ll have to go myself sometime!

I wanted to meet up some girls for tea and this was the best choice! They have a lot of options to choose from and for dessert they bring out a tray of all the options. I’m not a fan of pimiento cheese but these sandwiches looked like they would be freshly made so I gave it a whirl and tried their tea sampler which had pimento cheese, cucumber, and tuna. All were too delicious! They have a rotating soup of the day but their tomato basil is available every time which is what I got and it beats La Madeleine’s any day! It also came with a scone which was delicious. The food was awesome!
The décor is another thing to admire. They have the cutest décor to look at while you wait for your food. I absolutely loved it and am so glad I got to try it out.

I really like it and always do, but the one thing I don’t like are the women from neighboring suites coming in handing out coupons to their boutiques while you’re trying to eat. I really REALLY don’t like that. Not sure I will keep going back of this continues…

In trying to eat as vegan as possible, I thought a tea room would be a good idea. Nope. They had salads, but most dressing were cream based. They had soups, but all cream based. I asked if I could just have a glass of tea and some of the bread used in their meat-​filled sandwiches. The waitress said she’d charge me the full price of a sandwich for two pieces of bread. My friend then asked to see their tea selections… as it is a TEA ROOM. The waitress brought over their selections of teas. To my shock, they were tea bags I could purchase at Walmart… Stash, Bigelow’s, etc. We left. Not vegan friendly!

Very unique place that is cute, fancy, and dessert heavy. If you are looking for a huge meal, you will not find it here. However, if you just want some afternoon tea aka «linner» or snack with a significant other, you found a good spot: D
Chocolate Angel is really well decorated imo. The inside looks pretty antique but doesn’t look old. The restaurant is generally well lit, and you will feel like you are at a pretty nice place (so try not to come in tshirt or wifebeaters or whatnot).
We were treated well by the server, who is very generous and served all the girls first. much classy.
We came here for «afternoon tea», so we got 2 different types of teas. I am a horrible person because I forgot the name of the first one, but the second one was called «white something tea» that looked red (yes very confusing and yes I am very descriptive). Both teas were great and had wonderful aromas.
(Because I drank so much liquid, I had to pay a visit to the restroom. I must bring this up because the restroom hall is decorated with hats, which I thought was totally cool. I also heard that the woman’s restroom is also well decorated with sheet music… did not see that in the guy’s haha)
We ordered some platter that had a good selection of small samplers: fruit bowl, scone, chicken salad sandwich thing, cucumber biscuit thing, an egg pie thing, and some others. I thoroughly enjoyed sampling ALL of these things, because they all tasted delicious! Really liked the texture of the scone (probably one of the best parts) and the fruit bowl that had some REALLY nice seasoning (looked like Poppy seeds but tasted like dressing) UMMM~
After the samplers, we were served desserts (although i felt like we already had a good share of sweets with our «main entrée» but hey i will not complain for more sugar). The dessert platter had some very well done lemon biscuit, mini pecan pie, brownie, and a cookie… Lemon biscuit was SOO GOOD… UGHHH!!!
In all, this place was pretty good and I really enjoyed the experience. However, I can’t give it full mark because of the price, which was around 18 bucks for what I got (a bit on the pricier side). I would give it 4.5 stars if I could but I would def recommend this place to anyone looking for a fancy place to take his/​her date in the afternoon.

1. Poor service (1 server for the entire front room).
2. Skimpy portions (can you say «Where’s the chicken salad?» inside that small croissant?)
3. Restaurant staff member camped in one of the 2 stalls in the ladies restroom, talking on her cell phone for a very, very long time.
Don’t plan to return anytime soon.
