| - I absolutely love this place for afternoon tea! I came here twice last month for afternoon tea and was so pleased with the food and service. For afternoon tea, you have to reserve in advance via telephone. They are very accommodating - my bf and I combined have a lot of dietary restrictions (i.e. no dairy, vegetarian) yet they were so nice (and skilled!) about modifying their afternoon tea sandwich selection. Gluten-free is also an option here, but again you should call them in advance about your dietary restrictions.
For $13.50 (?) per person we got a huge amount of food! The sandwiches were intricately made - the veggie ones included a creamy cucumber option, apple and brie, and grilled veggies. They also have ham and salmon options for meat/fish eaters. I've also gotten dairy-less, vegetarian sandwiches here and they were still delicious.
Afternoon tea also comes with huge fruity + nutty scones, which were moist yet chewy due to the seeds/nuts, and a dessert (you get to choose from their dessert display up front - lots of cute little cakes, tarts, cheesecakes, and ice cream/sorbet is available too). Of course, tea is involved and they have a big selection to choose from (I must have spent over 10 mins smelling all the teas the first time trying to decide on one lol).
I also see customers get brunch/lunch here and use the space to study. There's not a lot of seating tbh, but it hasn't been crowded the two times I've been here. I don't think outlets are available and not sure about WiFi.
Food 4/5 -- don't expect fancy Shangri-La style high tea, but for what you pay for it's great and there's more focus on savory instead of sweet
Value 6/5
Service 5/5 -- friendly, attentive, accommodating to your dietary restrictions
Venue 3/5 -- a bit small (not good for large groups), but cozy and clean
