L Campbell: This was my first experience at the new location, and I was disappointed. Even though I had a reservation, it took almost an hour for our table of two to be served our tray. Other groups were seated after us and were served right away. When the tray did arrive, our server just dropped it and left without describing the items. The savoury items were phenomenal, but the sweet items were actually terrible. So bad, in fact, that I would recommend just getting the high tea (which is all savoury) and buying yourself a treat on the way home.

Bethany Spitzmiller: I debated between 3 or 4 or 5 stars for this review. If I'm being completely honest, the special event we went to wasn't really worth the additional cost. We went to the special Mother's Day afternoon tea event, and I think the standard afternoon tea downstairs would have been better. The food was a fun experience and the tea was some of the best I've had, but a glass of champagne and a string trio that played less than half the time we were there wasn't worth the additional cost that bumped the price up to $100 a ticket. I appreciated that mothers also received a small bag of tea, but I really think it's wrong to charge the same price for every ticket and only include that add on for mothers, especially since not all women can have children and men were guests too. If you only want to give an item to a certain group, it would be better to have it as an add-on item for the ticket rather than going around the room picking certain people to get them. Especially for Mother's day, when a lot of moms say "Oh, you can have mine," when they see someone else is going without. Service/atmosphere also brought down my rating. The musicians weren't great. They seemed to have long breaks, one literally yawned like they were SO bored at least four times, and they seemed to skip quite a few measures in certain songs and were very repetitive in the songs they did play. My mom saw one server drinking champagne in the back. The order people were served didn't match the order they sat down, and there seemed to be some confusion with seating. That felt a little disorganized. Also the chairs were very uncomfortable, hard wood, not great. I'd visit again to try the standard experience, but I don't think I'd book another special event without some changes.

andrew jones: An amazing selection of tea and pastries, sweet and savory. Generous portions, and a slow relaxed meal. The staff were amazing. You can't visit St.L and not visit this place.

Karyn Vilbig: Great atmosphere, great tea, great food, great service. Excellent for a celebration, a friend date or a date date. Will definitely be coming back.

James Dancho: Walked in to the new location for the first time. We arrived 43 minutes before they close. Not looking to sit in, just grab something to go. Not food, just tea. Immediately, before we uttered a word, the host, told us no dine in service 45 minutes before they close. We told her, we just wanted tea to go. She informed us no to go service either. My wife was also interested in buying merchandise, but maybe the could not ring things out 43 minutes before they close too. Pretty poor customer service.My wife has been to the old location an innumerable amount of times. Recommended folks to this business. Bought gifts from here. This should be made aware to management or, at the very least, notate it on your website. Though I find it hard to believe this is the actual case.

Lisa Moll: I enjoyed high tea at the London Tea Room on a busy Saturday. There are only two menu options: high tea and afternoon tea. I chose high tea for its savory selections. My friend chose afternoon tea, which has many sweet offerings and costs a bit more. The hot teas were outstanding, and all of the items were tasty. The acoustics make it noisy, and conversation can be difficult. It's located in the city, not far from the City Museum. We felt safe going there on a Saturday morning.

kiersten schellhammer: So far I have been here twice and the experience both times has been great! The staff is wonderful and knowledgeable, the tea is just excellent quality, the seasonal blends are delightful, and the food is complemented wonderfully by the teas!Vegetarian options: My friend is vegetarian and they had different options each time. She particularly liked the chickpea salad on a croissant.Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian and vegan options.

Paula Chor: Excellent new venue. Service, atmosphere and food are outstanding. Love the selection of teas...always hit the retail store.Vegetarian options: Available

Jules King-Aia: Second time I've come in to grab scones and clotted cream to take to my British mother, and third time they've been out of everything except tea. (Once at 11am, once at 2pm.) They were very kind, and the new location is certainly posh, but if you run out of stock early on a specific day, maybe the kitchen needs better management/planning.

Juliana Nine: This place is absolutely enchanting! It's like visiting England without having to pay for the plane ticket! The food is great and the tea is AH-MAZ-ING!!!

Nikole: I'm a long term fan of the London tea room, I went to the old location many times and always reccomended it to friends so it's very disheartening to have to write this review.Our reservation for two people was at 1pm on a Saturday. We arrived at 12:50 and joined the long line of several parties who were waiting on the MIA hostess. Once she showed up it was relatively fast to seat all the waiting parties. We sat down at about 1:05 but didn't get any food until 2:40pm.Yes, we didn't get served food for an hour and thirty five minutes after sitting down. Our last dessert came at 3pm and we didn't finish our second pot of tea because at 3:30 we had been there too long and just wanted to leave.Our server was amazing and this in no way his fault. He was amazing. For a place with three dining rooms I could only count 4 servers who were running between the rooms. This was absolutely a management problem and it's very disappointing to see. I hope whatever is happening back of house to result in so few servers is fixed because I would hate to see this be the new norm for a once great place to visit.

Renae Cole: Nice place but not wowed by the food. Scones were more like biscuits and overdone. Nice tea selection. Nice presentation. But not worth the nearly $100 we spent for 2 people.
