I came here with a friend for the afternoon tea around 2pm on a Sunday and it wasn't that busy at all. We were seated at a table by the window. Both of us ordered the Cream Tea service for $18 each. With it you get your own pot of tea and share the goodies served on a three tiered plate. The top tier carried petite fours, the middle had 4 large scones, and the bottom tier held 3 different kinds of finger sandwiches (egg, cucumber and salmon with cream cheese). As for tea, my friend chose the English Breakfast and I went with the Green Tea Tropical. The waitress brought out our own pot with loose tea and gave us a timer so we can time the length to the steep the tea and a strainer for when we pour the tea into our cups. We were both delighted with our choices. The finger sandwiches were good, nothing extra ordinary about them but then again you are talking egg, cucumber and salmon sandwiches. The scones were very good. They were on the sweet side which I love but then again I do have a sweet tooth. They are huge and come with cream and strawberry jam. I didn't get a chance to eat any of the petite fours after devouring everything else and 2 pots of tea, I was full.
My friend and I spent a wonderful 2 hours chatting and catching up while sipping tea. We both had a great time and enjoyed English's Afternoon Tea very much. For the price, I thought it was well worth it. I plan on coming here again with my daughter and have recommended this place to others. It is just a very nice place to go and enjoy some quality "special" time with your daughter, granddaughter or girlfriends!
My husband was jealous that he didn't get to come along but I told him that we'll have to come back to try the lunch or dinner menu; besides it looks like they have some wonderful specials to offer as well.
