What a lovely little spot on the Main Line! I am an afternoon tea connoisseur, so my expectations were rather high... and they were surpassed! I had been in the area for several days to tour apartments and daycares in advance of our planned move to Pennsylvania next year... so a lovely tea was my little splurge on the trip after days of drinking protein shakes on the go. I made a reservation for 10 am on Sunday, right when they opened, since I was going to go straight to the airport afterward. I was seated immediately, and everything came out pretty fast. I opted for the full afternoon tea, which comes with eight tea sandwiches, a scone with clotted cream, lemon curd, and strawberry preserves, and three assorted mini pastries, along with a pot of tea. You can choose up to four flavors for the sandwiches (so you get two of each flavor for a total of eight mini sandwiches), so I got the curried chicken salad, egg salad, cucumber and cream cheese, and cheddar cheese and chutney. Most tea places give you four sandwiches per person, so there was no way I was finishing eight of these. Thankfully, I got four of them in a to-go box and they ended up being a tasty snack on the plane. The curried chicken salad was my favorite (which they sell in their to-go containers in the gift shop), followed by the cucumber and cream cheese (the cucumbers were thinly sliced, which makes a big difference!). The egg salad was good, but a bit mild-flavored. I can't say I loved the cheddar cheese and chutney combo, so in the future I might just opt for more of the curried chicken or cucumber sandwiches instead. For the scone, I chose blueberry citrus, which was delicious! I used a very thin layer of the lemon curd, followed by the strawberry preserves and topped with the clotted cream. All of the flavors worked quite well on the scone. I wasn't blown away by the mini desserts (I can't recall exactly what flavors they were, but there was a posset that was a bit saltier than I was expecting, a blueberry cream puff, and a mini cake slice). But as I've gotten older, I've found myself more drawn to the savory aspect of afternoon teas anyway. The rest of the meal was delicious enough, and filling enough, that I honestly was never going to be able to finish everything. I was dining solo here, and I'm guessing not a lot of people do a tea for one, so I ended up chatting with 4-5 different employees here over the course of my meal. I have to say that the service here may have been the friendliest I've experienced pretty much anywhere. Everyone I spoke with was so welcoming and kind! When it came time for me to leave, they all wished me a safe trip back to Florida and said they hoped to see me again as one of their "regulars" once we move. I can already tell you, I hope that's the case too! This place is adorable, inside and out. And I love the assorted British foods available in the gift shop, along with fun kitchenware. If my suitcase hadn't already been packed to the brim, I probably would've spent more money in that shop. I'm looking forward to returning next year once I escape the Sunshine State :) read more

This casually elegant tea room is a lovely spot for a celebratory lunch, full English tea experience, or simply a leisurely and light soup and sandwich (or salad) meal. Browse the British gifts and snack items in the attached shop as you wait for your table. If reservations aren't required, they're highly recommended because the few times we've been here it's been full. Fun atmosphere for a staycation lunch and the array of available teas is amazing. Our favorite this time was the summer seasonal Mai Tai, a refreshing, light, and fruity brew. read more

Went for the first time for my birthday in May and had such a wonderful time!! My two friends and I had the full afternoon tea and enjoyed it immensely. The tearoom is well decorated, bright, and the tableware was adorable! The waitress was so sweet and knowledgeable about the different teas, and the service was great. I loved the Glitzy Mama tea so much that I ended up buying a packet of the loose leaves to take home! I hope to come here again soon. read more

Very nice ambience and the teas were delicious. Service was fine as well. The tea sandwiches were mostly bread with little filling. Authentic tea sandwiches are made with delicate, thinly sliced bread, usually white, with filling appropriately proportioned to the bread. Pretty china was used. One full tea service plus a soup and a second pot of tea cost about 80.00 with tax and tip. Rather pricey for the quality, unfortunately. The yea with the caramel candy pieces tasted strangely artificial but the herbal blueberry tea was delicious. The tea shop was fun to browse and the tea pots and accessories for sale were very nice as well but again, quite pricey. This was our first time dining in Radnor, PA, so as a Philly suburb, this may be the standard here. Next time we will drive into the city for higher quality food. read more

Had a reservation and no problem with being seated right away but some of the seating is way too close which makes it really hard for conversation. The food service started with tea, and we opted for the full tea service which comes with Scone, tea sandwiches and dessert samples. All was good but the cucumber sandwiches were the best tasting out of the choices. Some other choices were the chicken salad, egg salad, turkey and roast beef. Desserts were ok but I only ate 1 of them...some were passed on. Note parking may be tough in this shopping area on busy days. read more

The experience and atmospheric was nice, however, it is not worth $40 for tea and finger food

We had a delightful tea time with fresh scones and tea sandwiches. The server made us feel welcome and let us take our time when ordering. We were here years ago and I think the storefront has been expanded a bit so all the store wares seemed to be well positioned and there was a fair amount to of selection of British goods. We look forward to our next visit. read more

Went to Taste of Britain for their Winter Wonderland tea. They offered complimentary mimosa or a blackcurrant spritzer. I got the blackcurrant spritzer. It was really bubbly and light. The menu had a bunch of tea options to try out. I really liked the Hummingbird almond cake tea. It had notes of almond and cinnamon. They put it in a big pot that I kept forgetting to strain out when putting in my teacup. There were several layers of food that were brought out in a tower. For the savory dishes, I really enjoyed the smoked salmon salad tea sandwich and spiced crab bisque. I wasn't a big fan of the Yorkshire pudding. The next layer had scones. The two scones on the plate were white chocolate and cranberry. It offered a nice wintery charm. It was served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and strawberry preserves. I really liked the quality/taste of the lemon curd and strawberry preserves. The sweets were on top of the tower. They had an amazing cheesecake bite that tasted like eggnog. They also had chocolate hazelnut cake and white chocolate almond petit four. The only dessert I really disliked was the minced pie which didnt taste like dessert at all. read more

Britain here I come! Such a gem this spot. My girlfriend and I exchanged gifts for the holidays, and I bought tea for two for the both of us at A Taste of Britain, the Winter Wonderland experience. We were served a pot of tea of our choosing and a towering tray of savories, scones, and sweets for each of us. Pro-Tip: You are supposed to start at the bottom of the tray aka savories and work your way up to end on the sweets. I am not going to detail every item placed on the tray, but I have uploaded a menu and will say the large scone they serve to you with choice of clotted cream, strawberry preserves, and lemon curd was sweet and delish. I was also pleasantly surprised with the sausage roll. When you walk inside the store, they have a very large and well laid out shop that you can buy items that are normally sold in Britain. If you cannot spare the time or money to travel to the UK, I highly recommend you dabble in this store, it is totally a feel-good vibe much like the feeling I get when I shop at World Markets. For the tea service this holiday season they even had Christmas Crackers (Christmas crackers are festive table decorations that make a snapping sound when pulled open, and typically contain a small gift, paper hat and a joke) on the table which I proceeded to crack open and wear the paper hat, hey now, I was definitely not the only one at the place who did it as other tables were sporting there paper hats and were totally soaking up the experience. If you are looking for a different kind of gift to give your loved ones this year, I highly recommend you purchase tickets to this experience for them. It will get them out of the house and create hopefully some wonderful memories : ) As always people SYOY!!! read more

The Mary Poppins themed tea was amaaazzzing! Perfectly perfect in so many ways. So much attention to detail was incorporated. Kites provided to decorate, umbrellas hung around and paper birds placed at the windows. Friendly, efficient staff. Delicious, freshly made, theme tailored food. "Mary Poppins" the waitress/actress sang very well and embodied the character. Loved the experience read more

We had the most lovely themed tea yesterday. It was a Mary Poppins themed tea which truly was practically perfect in every way. The servers were all dressed as penguins and we all happy and super friendly and attentive. There was a young lady there who was Mary Poopins who even sang A Spoonful of Sugar and she was outstanding. The tea was delightful. And the food excellent. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. The sweets were particularly delicious. read more

Enjoy High Tea in a fun space with delicious sandwiches, scones, and desserts. You can go ala carte or prix fixe with both being very reasonable for what you get. The service was five stars (Thanks Robin!). A cute store attached with all kinds of British themed knickknacks, gifts, and tea related items. Dress was a mix of very casual jeans to suit coats. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the full afternoon tea experience. It was great that you get to pick your flavor of sandwich and scone! My favorite was the turkey and cranberry little sandwich and the cherry/almond scone was delicious! We got the September scone of the month and that was my mom's favorite. My favorite tea was the creamy caramel. It was a little loud, but that means that people were talking and enjoying themselves, so I can't complain too much. They have a really nice gift shop too! Service was nice and food came out really quick. Reservations recommended. I'd happily take my mom Back here again, she loved the experience! read more

The service here is terrible. First, many items were missing in our pick up order for Mother's Day. We had to go back a couple of times to get missing items like cream and jam for scones and missing plates for the stands we rented. Second, when returning there was a lady standing at the counter who could not have been less helpful. There was no offer to help bring in items, to take them from me as I brought items in, no offer to open the door. The entire time of my making 3 trips into the store to return the rented plates and cups, she is just standing there leaning her chin against her hand watching the door. Food is mediocre. They gave us a complimentary box of sweets that was terrible. No thank you to the store credit. Why would we even want to go back for this terrible service and mediocre food? read more

My wife wanted to do some fancy tea. The places she had visited before were in center city. I didn't want to deal with the parking situation. So I jumped on Yelp and found this place. Made reservations for their valentines special. Super cute place. Delectable little treats tower for valentines. It had savory and sweet. Honestly I liked the savory options more. We got a surprise deviled egg with fried prosciutto. I can't explain how god it was. Ahi tuna on little crispy bead. That was delicious. These mini mushroom soup shooters. Those were so good we bought a quart of the soup on the way out. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the flank steak sandwich. That was kinda weird. Crab meat and pea balls that were just amazing. The red velvet scone was surprisingly not sweet and came with jelly, butter, and a lemon spread. Lemon spread was the best but not on red velvet. I thought the butter was something cool at first and took a bit bite of it. I picked one of their teas specials. The snow angel. We left very full. Oh at the start I got a complimentary sparkling drink and she got a mimosa. read more

So, yea, this is a tough one to rate as it is to me more of a novelty than a restaurant. Being literally the only male diner at the time affirms that this is a female experience, for whatever reason. I was here to fulfill a desire to meet here as a birthday celebration. The honoree opted for the Full Afternoon Tea, while I opted for 4 tea sandwiches. Again, I don't see this place as a restaurant; think of it as playing Barbie with your young daughter, but with actual tea and sandwiches on white bread with the crust cut off. While nothing was distasteful (I actually enjoyed the raspberry mint tea), don't expect to be satisfied if you come manly hungry. The sandwiches themselves are very light on fillings providing just a glimpse of what is inside. The experience is interesting, assuming it is a realistic semblance of a British cafe, for lack of a better word. Along with the teas and sandwiches there is a soup of the day, and an array of pastries. The front area is a store displaying many Cadbury chocolates as well as other English foods and gift items. All in all a pleasant experience. If it makes someone happy, go along for the ride. (I'd rate this 3.5 but they only allow full points so I'll just round up.) read more

My favorite go to place for an afternoon tea. So affordable and so good. It comes with generous portions of sandwiches and cute desserts.

It's always booked here. read more

This used to be one of my family's favorite places on the Main Line. We go maybe three times every winter and also get frozen foods and treats for the holidays. This year we went for my birthday and the food had dramatically gone downhill. Everything tasted off or was too dry or over-seasoned. The sausage rolls went from being our favorite food to utterly disgusting. Welsh rarebit and the cheese and onion pastry were both off the menu, and they were the reason I was going. My bacon scone was vomit-inducing. We were so drastically disappointed that we actually asked what happened. Apparently they got a new chef. I'm so sad to say that I likely won't risk going back. I hate to say this, but please get the old chef back. read more

Went here today for an early lunch, really more of a brunch, and had an exceedingly wonderful experience. The only damper was a large table that included several children who were unattended and kept going in and out of the side door. However, this was not the fault of the staff or establishment, all of whom where absolutely outstanding. The place is amazing and has a wonderful vibe. From the store up front to the tea room in the rear, and from the minute we arrived, I was enthralled. For the table we ordered two teas, the standard English Breakfast and then the amazing Scottish Highlands, of which, apparently I was lucky enough to get the last pot brewed before having to try to reacquire more of that beautiful blend. Along with that, we started with the Ploughman's Platter, an assortment of amazing cheeses and pickles, toasts, jams, and fruit. Absolutely divine! As if that wasn't good enough it was followed with what I was awaiting eagerly; the tea sandwiches. We also ordered the August Frittata that had goat cheese, onion, and a delicious assortment of mushrooms baked in! It came with a delicious Gazpacho as well, and although I love soup, I'm not usually one for cold soup, but this was unbelievable! Flavor and texture was perfection. Finally we closed with one of the most interesting and balanced eclairs I have ever had, and I'm not big on dessert. I couldn't have asked for more. Everything we ordered was stellar and as I said earlier, on top of all that, the staff was so amazing, it completely overrode the distraction of the irritating table that could have easily ruined our experience had it been anywhere else. Afterwards we even stopped in the store and picked up a variety of scones and they even packaged up a small amount of a very limited blueberry preserves that wasn't available except in the restaurant, simply because we expressed how much we loved it. Bottom line, if you're in the area and you're looking for something different, or a place that makes you feel classic, catered-to, or simply special, you cannot beat a meal here, or even something as simple as tea... read more

Table service here is a nice experience. The tea is good and I love the scones and tea sandwiches. I went in a short time ago to get some scones to-go. In the past they were maybe $3-something each. Today they were $5.00 each. I walked out. Good they may be, but plain scones are not luxuriant things. I decided it had become too expensive, unfortunately. Will stick to dining in on the very limited occasions when can get there. read more

I went with my boyfriend for afternoon tea after seeing so many videos on TikTok. We were excited for our first experience. Our server Faith was great and helped take into consideration my boyfriend's almond allergy (kept our food separate in case of cross-contamination and gave us separate towers). The hummingbird tea and orange brûlée tea were both delicious! My favorite bite was the samoa mousse cake bite! My only complaint is that the sandwiches were pretty dry. The sandwiches seemed to be pre-prepared and sitting out for a while so the edges of the bread were dry. Between the 2 of us, we tried all flavors offered. The fillings were fine, but nothing stood out about them. I would probably go here again for the tea and scones and desserts, but there's no need for the finger sandwiches in my opinion. read more

Took our group of three weeks to get in. Restaurant was crowded when we walked in. Was seated quickly at a corner table. The server was attentive throughout our lunch. We chose the Afternoon tea option and each of us chose different options so we could share. We got different teas and sandwiches. Out of the teas, Hummingbird Almonds Cake tea was my favorite. Sweet but not too sweet. Was so unique from the rest. The tuna and egg salad sandwiches were delicious too! read more

The food, presentation, ambiance, and our waitress Kelsey, was superb! She knew how to communicate and was willing to answer questions and was very helpful. Must take a lot of energy to remember all these items and be able to explain them well and also consider people's desires, info requesting, and allergies. While this type of thing is typical for classier restaurants, she does it with such ease. Wow! Everything was fresh and flavorful. The honey comes out from the bottom. I ate with friends and we gave each other, other types of sandwiches and let each other try our teas and my quiche. A brown color kettled didn't come out as a pic but that was PG Tips tea which I believe has Sri Lankan roots. Reserving over the phone was discomforting though and the person on the other line seemed too busy and annoyed. That person expected me to know exactly what I needed and didn't like that my friends kept changing the date and time of the invite and I as pushy. That pushiness fell on me and I probably lost a potential friend or networking person because of that experience. If you want to reserve, just do it online w Resy. If you need to fit in an extra person beyond the online system, that would be an extremely quick phone call. When I asked about a menu online, the person said it was online in a way like it was obvious I should know. A friend had to tell me I had to pretend to order online for the menu to show because it isn't necessary UI friendly for everyone to do that. Even saying it is online but "I don't know how to tell you to access" would be better to say even if it turned out to be a white lie, lol, sigh. read more

This review is for the gift shop only. They have a wonderful selection of British tea-themed gifts and snacks/candies that are hard to find this side of the Atlantic. I would love to try the restaurant sometime, but when I contacted them a couple weeks in advance to ask if they could accommodate an egg/dairy-free (vegan) diner, they said no. I hope they consider a vegan menu in the future. I had no trouble finding dozens of vegan afternoon teas in London. read more

I brought my mom for her birthday and it was absolutely perfect. We are definitely afternoon tea snobs, and everything met/exceeded our expectations! We got earl grey cream tea, and were there for the winter wonderland tea so we didn't need to make any choices besides tea. They ask ahead of time if there's any allergies or dietary restrictions, and then confirm again a few times to make sure, which I'm sure is nice. The tea was delicious, and the tower was delicious! Also, super cute space with adorable little mismatched fine china. Mom and I had a blast, then poked around the shop which had cool authentic British staples we can't normally find as well as house made things like lemon curd and various pastries. If you like British tea, this is the perfect spot to try! read more

Review is for the shop only. FDC is a big fan of English tea, with her favorites only available in a few places, this being one. We stopped there one morning for this, and of course ended up with other lovely items. The store is laid out with housewares on one side and the market on the other, with the counter in the middle. They had some beautiful items on housewares. I thought the Nutcracker Mouse King was charming. They had some great wool scarves and wraps that were so soft and well made too. On the market side they had so many classic British brands, from "digestive biscuits" to Lion bars. It's a great place to go when you're looking for quality gifts, housewares or British foods. read more

Our family loves going for high tea and A Taste of Britain is hands down the best option in the greater Philadelphia area, having tried just about every other place. The afternoon tea is an authentic offering with up to four finger sandwiches, scone of your choice that comes with clotted cream, lemon curd, strawberry preserve, three small desserts which change by the season, and an extensive selection of teas from which to choose. I also appreciate the option of almond milk instead of regular milk to go with your tea. The tea is served in individual tea pots with a strainer and the tea items are presented on a three tier serving platter. At $36 pp it's a really great deal and the tea room itself is very cute and comfortable. Other options in the area do not compare (going to the city to several of the hotel options will be at least twice the cost) and the other cute option in Havertown is not an authentic British high tea offering. Then when tea is done, you can spend time browsing for British snack items or adorable knick knacks in their store. Plenty of easy parking in the Spreadeagle Shopping Center - and you can make a reservation on Resy! Outstanding. read more

I enjoyed a lovely tea with Mum and two friends.  All of us decided on the full afternoon tea which was absolutely delicious. Between the four of us we tried just about every tea sandwich on the menu and each one of them was delicious!  The scones are MASSIVE and incredibly fresh! The almond and cherry scone was my favorite.  I chose to have a traditional tea, the earl grey, and it was authentic.  The atmosphere is charming, however not over done.  The gift shop is extensive with quite a few interesting and unique finds.  Our server Kirsty C, from Ireland, went above and beyond, she was professional as well as warm and welcoming.  We definitely plan to  return for another noon tea after church.  I highly recommend this incredible tea experience!! read more

What a lovely gem! I have never been to this place before in Wayne. First off love the location because of parking and not having to worry about cramming in to street parking. Fantastic ambience and service. Very welcoming and warm, like you are entering in to an overseas cafe. Wonderful menu for the theme. Highly recommend the banana nut rooiboss tea. Lemon scone and curd was fantastic as well. Dairy free milk option for tea. If you are vegan, not really the place for you unless you are more in to the tea selections. Theres is also a nice little shop area in front of the restaurant with nick knacks and kitchenware. Definitely looking forward to another girls brunch here again soon!
