Located in a beautiful hotel with a calm and quiet lounge, the beautiful room was filled with patrons sipping tea. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty. The desserts were inhaled by our boys and enjoyed by all. The scones arrived with clotted cream and jam were equally consumed by our boys. The variety of teas were enjoyable and packed with flavor. If you are in London and looking for a relaxing / quiet tea experience, St Ermin's Tea Lounge is beautifully decorated, tasty and a memorable event.

Service is extremely slow here!…read more Came for high tea when we were in London. They do high tea at only two times: 2:30 and 4pm. The high tea area is behind the bakery and it's much quieter and more intimate :) Decor was super cute and fancy; very festive for the holidays. We ordered the standard high tea which came with 5-6 savory bites and 5-6 sweet bites. After getting the tea, service went downhill. Three new parties were seated AND a party of 5 got their food before us (party of 4) along with two other tables who were seated after us. We had to flag the waitress down a few times since it seemed like they had forgotten about us :( Overall, good experience doing high tea in London but can't say I'd come back here for it again.

This is one of those places that definitely lives up to the hype…read more I saw pics online of their watermelon ice cream served in a watermelon (exclusive to their London store) online before we arrived...I knew I wanted to visit when we were in town. We hopped in our car and headed here one rainy afternoon. Street parking was a breeze here (pay by phone). The bakery itself is much more spacious than I anticipated with a beautiful indoor and outdoor seating space. Service was fast and friendly. Order at the counter and either take it to go or grab a seat and they will bring most things to you. If you're ordering bakery items they will give them to you right at the counter. If you're eating in prices are slightly higher (like most places in the UK. My kids all had the watermelon ice cream. We figured they were so big that we would eat the leftovers. That didn't happen. They were so good they devoured them. We also got a couple more things that were amazing! They also have a lunch menu that we did not try. If you're in the area make it a point to come here!!

Ambiance was nice, bit of a small place but ample seating. I sat outside. FYI though, they don't have a bathroom so you'll need to find another place if you're dining in and needing to use a restroom. That's the only downfall to this place.

Yummilicious pastries. Not a huge selection, but enough to have something for everyone. Cinnamon…read moreswirl,black current crumble cake, and guest pastry were all good. Also offered a couple of sandwiches but we did not try them. Had a nice selection of can drinks (OJ, Red Bull, etc.). The iced latte was amazing. The service was not friendly, but it was a quick in and out (express location). Which also means that there is no seating except for 4 chairs outside. They appear to have a back room, but it was not open. All and all it was a good stop for a coffee and pastry on the go. Not a good stop for a lingering morning breakfast.

The most expensive dinner we had this week with the weakest hospitality and worst timing. SUPER…read moredisappointing. It took 25 mins to place our drink order- then about 30 more mins to get our food, after placing that order. Then we had to wait to place a dessert order. Then we had to wait for the check. One word for this comes to mind...'waiting'. We found ourselves waiting every step of the way for our waiter to acknowledge us. Honestly I can forgive A LOT if people are nice but that wasn't the case with our server. Low energy, not very warm and welcoming and slow. Actually to be fair, I got a smile from the busboy when I was on my way to the restroom- perhaps the 2 should switch roles if the restaurant is looking for repeat visits or nice reviews. Btw- the manager...not exactly sure what he was doing. One last thing, I've had sea bass in many restaurants and never had anyone leave the skin on-Just not what I expected. This restaurant gets 2 thumbs down for me. Go to Bills right around the corner - save some money - and get a smile from the staff and a nice greeting.

After seeing the Royal Muse we stumbled across this place. It's located across the street from the…read moreRoyal Muse entrance. We bought bon bons (toffee, watermelon, black current), roasted almond taffy, and butter toffee. We tested some black licorice candy from Northern England called something Navy and it didn't taste good at all. The staff was friendly and allowed us to try some candies before buying. I don't know how their pricing compares to other candy stores but I would recommend this place because they have a wide variety of candies and you get to taste test. This place does accept credit cards. Mon - Sat: 10:00 am - 6:00 pm Sun: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm https://www.facebook.com/CharliesSweetsBPR/page_map

I loved the decor and atmosphere. Food: My friend and I both ordered the traditional English breakfast. I had mine with vegan sausage. The breakfast was exactly what I expected and was pretty good. I was excited they had a vegan sausage option instead of leaving the sausage off like other places. Service: Our service was quick and friendly. We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all. TL;DR - Lovely place for an English breakfast

They squeezed us in between two tables! There is a huge amount of cakes and large scones with jam and cream as well as yummy sandwiches. There is a large selection of teas. The "set"tea had more of a homemade rather than elegant or theme based teas but my granddaughters were very happy to choose what they wanted to eat! The tables are pretty close together so go early if you prefer it to be less busy!
