    I had the best time with my spouse at the Littlest Tea Room, found inside Little Native coffee. There are several parking lots around and also street parking. I was able to find parking on the street. We did the full little tea and it was MORE than enough food and a lovely experience. I had the witching hour tea which was very cinnamon forward and delicious. My spouse had a green tea that was very tasty, and a bit more mild. The tea comes with sugar cubes and milk. The food was fantastic. Our sitting included (for each person) mini charcuterie, two huge scones, grapes, dried fruit, three dips/spreads, mini quiche, two macarons, a cake ball, cheesecake and lemon bar, and something else! We had to take the food home bc it was too much, and we came hungry! Oh and champagne! The owner Ashley is so kind and we had a chance to chat with her for a while. I loved learning about their business and the evolution of the coffee shop and tea room. I plan to return with my team for a team event this fall!

    I made a reservation for two on OpenTable to celebrate turning Fourtea at this quaint Speakteasy! I've been a tea connoisseur for many years now and dressing up for an elegant tea party is something I've enjoyed since a child. Why not connect with my inner child while celebrating a milestone ? The Littlest Tea Room is a quaint tea room located at the back of Little Native Coffee shop on N. Person. It's located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Raleigh. Parking was effortless just out front the coffee shop. I appreciated our hostess Hayley contacting me prior to our reservation to inform us that a children's party was wrapping up and she would need a few minutes to prep before we arrived. Upon arrival the baristas were very welcoming. Hayley provided top tier service throughout our tea time. The tea room or "Speakteasy" is tucked away behind a hidden wall at the back of the coffee shop. You are instantly transformed into a whimsical victorian meets southern charm tea room. I fell in love with all of details here. So magical! I was so captivated by all of the details in the decor for this little space. They even supply adorable headbands for you if you forget to dress for the occasion. The best surprise was finding out we had the tea room to ourselves for our Golden Hour. The privacy was a luxury ! We perused the menu and decided on The 60 Minute Golden Hour and started with a pot of the Witching Hour which is similar to the alcohol "fireball". Notes of spicy cinnamon. This was my favorite. Very strong and did not require sugar. Our tea tray was beautifully prepared. We enjoyed lemon macarons, chicken salad, pimento cheese spread, croissants, Madeleines, chocolates and dark chocolate chip cookies. My favorite being the lemon macarons, lemon clotted cream spread with Madelines and pimento cheese. We also had a pot of the Duskhaven tea which is more fruit based. It was very light and a beautiful pink shade to pour. My friend and I enjoyed catching up, taking photos as we came dressed in character. It's easy to lose track of time when you're whisked away into Tea wonderland. This is a must do while visiting the area. Special thanks to Hayley for her southern hospitality and making the celebration with turning Fourtea so special.

    I booked this a month in advance and it did not disappoint! The dark tones and decor made the experience so cozy and fancy! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The pastries and tea tasted amazing and it really made my NC trip!

    Lovely table setting

    We found this place accidentally while scrolling. This was such a fun experience. It is 90 minutes that you get to sit and just chill. The service was perfect. She kept our tea pot full.

    Tea for Two at the Littlest Tea Room was the perfect way to celebrate a special Birthday ! Located Downtown Raleigh, this tea room is tucked away within a coffee shop behind a hidden book case. We entered a room that was cozy, charming and decorated in a way that provides the perfect ambiance. We chose the Golden Hour , a 60 minute tea service that allowed us to pick a tea ( black, green or botanical) to pair with delicious savory and sweet bites. This place is simply delightful! I would definitely recommend all tea lovers to experience and enjoy.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

The shop/restaurant has really impressive murals, while still maintaining an almost simple and minimalistic dining area. I quite like it. They have plenty of tables, booths and high-top bar table to settle on if you choose to dine-in. I ordered a strawberry mango tea and a pork belly Bahn mi to go. I had customized the strawberry mango tea to 50% sweetness and 50% light ice. It was perfectly refreshing, and the Bahn mi was packed with flavor! I really enjoyed my order. Service could've been better honestly. The first person that was at the register came off a bit annoyed because I wasn't quite ready to order yet. It was my first time there so I really wasn't that familiar with the menu. The Second staff that brought my drink and food out when they were ready was much more pleasant. The first interaction put me off quite a bit, though. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes and drinks they offer. I think I would just make sure I already know what I'm gonna get before I even walk in.

The Crab Rangoon was the best of the items we had, lots of filling and the fries were crispy. Luckily, they did not have the Japanese spices available for the fries because if they were anything like the seasoning on the popcorn chicken, then yuck. The General Tso's chicken bowl was ok, too much of the sauce and it was HUGE! Teas were adequate. Service was lackluster and water requested was a half of a tiny cup. Bathrooms were not the cleanest, same with the dining area.

I lucked up and found a parking spot right across the street on this rather hot 4th of July afternoon. I'm glad they were open and I missed the crowds due to the parade & other 4th festivities nearby. The two Baristas were so awesome, I had a great time chatting with them while I waited on my delicious hot Baklava Latte w/ oat milk. I saw their post about it on their IG page and knew I had to try it. They have so many options for coffee, cold brew, matcha, tea and more. They can also make your drink however you like it. But for me if something is on the menu, it's been perfected, so I'm going to try it. They have yummy looking pastries, I'll have to go back and try one of the many varieties of croissants! I sat in the cutest little corner nook looking out the window, it was perfect!! Again, I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally check them out, but I'm super glad I did.

I got a lavender mocha with oat milk. The only reason why I didn't give it. A five star is because I like my coffee. Just a little bit bolder. When you put in some mixing coffee sometimes goes away. I still had the essence of coffee which let me know that it's a nice medium roast. But I do prefer a dark and bold yet, smooth roast. The blueberry pot tart was OK. The pastry part was delicious, but the blueberry filling was a little dry. I love blueberries. So glad that that was the option. Trying a few other coffee spots while here, but I can see myself coming back this week!

The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal!

Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.
