On our way to Edmonds and tried to decide on an impromptu lunch in Issaquah that will accommodate our dog. Paisleys tea room at Gilman village is the place! Patio has about 6 tables with colorful flowers in full bloom surrounded us. It's quite magical sitting there relaxing and sipping delicious tea, pastries and lunch. Everyone works in the shop all so sweet and attentive. We had London fog which was fragrant and beautiful. Salad and sandwich hit the spot. It was so relaxing even our dog sat quietly and people watch. Do try this place with tea services too. Presentation is always stunning. Thank you Quinn and staff making our lunch time very pleasant and memorable. read more

I wanted to love this place and was so excited to try it. We made a reservation a month in advance because there were 7 of us. We were seated at a large table, and it was beautifully decorated. After twenty minutes, someone came by to talk about the teas. We ordered our pots, and she said they would be out shortly. We got the tea and were told we could try any other tea. She brought out tiers of little snacks, and then didn't come back for an hour. I think she was busy with other customers but there were two additional workers. One of my friends asked one of the other workers for a different tea, and she came by and said "he's just the host." Ok, well he could have still given you the order, or you could have come by and asked if we wanted a different tea? I really wanted to recommend this place, and bring my daughter back with her friends but for $565 for 7 people, the food you see, and one pot of tea for each guest, I'm going to pass. read more

Paisley’s Tea Room - Food provided with full tea. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

I had this place on my list for a long time. The tea, food, and decor were great. Service was fine, not great. Knocking down to three stars though mostly because the prices are just out of control! One small tea latte and the scone/fruit plate came out to be over $30! Now this doesn't sound egregious until you consider that the two scones that came on the plate were both literally bite sized and the "fruit" were 100% just decorative rather than for eating. It's a super cute space especially the outdoor patio and I would otherwise love to come back...but for now save you money and go elsewhere! read more

This location is easily accessed on the back side of Gillman Plaza close to Issaquah Coffee. The interior is so cute, feminine and relaxing. The service was fantastic. Everyone was lovely. Afternoon tea was great, we tried a variety of the recommended teas. One of my favorites was a seasonal blend of hibiscus, so yummy. The little sandwiches and sweets were really good. My group of 3 had a lovely time chatting and relaxing while enjoying our teas. read more

I love coming here for afternoon tea with my kids. Their kids' tea is nice and I enjoy the adult tea tower and pot of tea. My daughter has hot chocolate. The sandwiches are fresh and good flavors. I recommend making a reservation. It's a sweet feminine tea room with vintage tea cups and decor. Great location in Gilman village. read more

We had reservation at 10a and was greeted warmly by one of the staff. Once seated, she went over the menu for afternoon tea and it made me want to try everything. I went with the vanilla coconut (oh did I mention it's bottom-less). The sandwiches were delicious but the scone with the clotted cream and lemon tart curd was AMAZING! The decor of the shop was so cute! Overall, highly recommend! I forgot to mention; I also ordered a Strawberry Matcha latte and Grandma Elizabeth sandwich to-go. Definitely got to try it! It's so delicious! read more

I've been better twice already. The first time was August 23, 2024 for my daughter's birthday. Food was great, service amazing. Place was cute and quaint. Today I took two of my friends to celebrate one of my friends birthday. I won a tea for two contest on Instagram, and I decided to share it with my friends. Caitlyn was fabulous as our high tea server. She was friendly and gave us over the top service. One of my friends and I have been here, but it was birthday girls first time. She was thoroughly impressed. The sandwiches we tasty, bread was soft and yummy. Everything they served us was delicious. We were too full to eat the desserts so we had to take them home to snack on later. Thank you Paisley's for my award! read more

A delightful time! Charming old fashioned place. Very friendly servers. A delicious array of teas to choose from, from no caffeine to high caffeine. The tower of treats was just that - a tower, filled with tasty finger food. Everything, even those things I'm not usually a fan of, were great. We started with scones, clotted cream, and lemon curd. So good, tender with a crunchy top. And a savory scone with a little cheese and crispy bacon nuggets. The fruit was all at peak. Where did they get such good tasting strawberries?!? Then the sandwiches. All were very good. Surprisingly, my fav may have been the turkey, cheese, jam and arugula. We finished with the sweets. Not usually a fan of shortbread, this was buttery and moist. Not crumbly and dry (not a big fan of the thyme though). The little phyllo cup filled with pastry cream is a treasure. And the very moist cupcake was a perfect finisher. We really enjoyed our visit, and may have to make it a new tradition! read more

The staff here are very warm and friendly and our server did a great job explaining everything! The food was not only beautifully displayed but very tasty and so was our tea. I had the black lavendar tea...which was fabulous. I would love to return one day to do this all over again...until next time! read more

We found this place unexpectedly in April 2025 on vacation. We were lucky to be visiting on a rainy Monday afternoon. The place is on the smaller side with only about 6 tables. They were very accommodating and let us be guests without reservations. We ordered a scone and fruit platter with some specialized strawberry scones. The food was delicious and the presentation was pretty. We enjoyed tea very much. They even let us have more water for our tea and enjoy the space while the rain moved through. I really liked this place. It's hidden in the back corner of Gilman Village. They even give tea samples right by the front door and have grab and go pastries, macarons, and treats from their selection in the entrance. The decor is shabby chic and very charming. read more

Just stopped by to get a few treats boxed up to-go and the employee was very helpful, answering my questions about each pastry. Their chocolate chip cookies are quite savory, and the berry scone tastes fresh! It was quiet and empty near closing time on a Tuesday afternoon, and I'll definitely come back to try some of their teas! They have a free sample by the door, and everything is decorated immaculately. Love the vibe here! read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon for their afternoon tea service. I reserved a table online for 3 people which was very convenient - I would definitely recommend trying to get a reservation as the space is smaller with limited capacity. The space was one of the cutest I've been to! There are dried flowers hanging from the ceiling and the most adorable cottage decor and teacups on display. Every tea pot comes with its own tea cozy and it's just the most fun. The tea is bottomless for the afternoon service. I was able to try the vanilla coconut and the chocolate earl grey. Both were so delicious and it was nice to be able to try different teas and get refills. The food was also very good. The sandwiches and scones were my favorites. Overall I loved my visit - will be coming back! read more

This was a great spot to take my nearly 7 year old niece for her first tea experience. We had a reservation but ended up needing to wait to be seated. They were very apologetic and we had some extra tea to start off once we got seated. The space is 't huge but it is creatively divided so we felt like we had our own private space. The food and drinks were delightful and the portions were generous. We ended up taking a lot home with us! There are also cookies and pastries for walk in customers to take away and I would definitely do that sometime. read more

Excellent tea experience. Service and food is great...and I've been to tea at at least a dozen different tea rooms. The three-tier tower includes three types of sandwiches, two type of scones (the basic sweet scone is good!), and three types of sweets. (One should plan on a takeaway box.) I'd definitely go back! read more

Not worth the price. Took my daughter and friends here for her birthday. First of all, the space is tiny. We were elbow to elbow with each other and other guests. Perhaps because the space was so small, our server felt one of my daughter's friends was talking too loudly. She was speaking at a normal volume. The server made us feel like kids were very unwelcome, even though when I called, I specifically asked about this. All the kids felt like they had to whisper the rest of the time and it was a huge damper on the celebration. Number one reason I won't be back. But wait, there's more! We did the full tea service but anytime anyone wanted to try a different tea, we were given a huge, long winded explanation of why we couldn't or had to wait or some other weird explanation. None of us ended up getting more than our initial pot. My daughter wanted hot chocolate (included) as well as tea (also included) but was told no for some reason. The food was fine but nothing stood out. All things you'd make at home and tasted... fine. Our server never came to check on us until it was time to pay. Claustrophobic ambience, subpar food, and abysmal attitude toward customers. Absolutely not worth the price. read more

Beautiful, authentic, aesthetic, and so inviting! Me and my partner had the Afternoon High Tea and have had a lot of sweet treats but were blown away by the care and meticulousness of Paisleys. The savory foods were fresh, well spiced but not overpowering, the sweets were NEXT LEVEL delicious. The scones were buttery, the macarons were airy, and every bite was diverse and added a new layer to the experience. Olivia was our server and was so fun and we were happy to chat with her, I felt that this was a place people must love to work at because of her passion and enthusiasm. This is an excellent place for a special date, birthday, or an aesthetic Girly get together! Very photo-op friendly and we were welcome to take our time, which I've experienced at other High Tea places. I cannot recommend coming here enough, and if you've never done High tea, this is an exemplary example of it!! read more

super super cute tea room in issaquah! i love a cottage core esque café and this place was perfectly decorated. i ordered a strawberry matcha and a chocolate strawberry cookie to go. there were about three girls working and only about three tables dining in. one of the girls said she'd be with us in a second, but we ended up standing there for about 20 minutes while getting ignored by the other employees. the matcha was mid, and literally just tasted like sweet milk; barely any matcha. the cookie was pretty good and the strawberry coating on the bottom tasted like the chocolate coated raisins you get in the boxes. read more

Ambiance is warm and inviting. Our table for two was cozy but a little small for a full tea service. There were small tongs on the table which we thought were for cubes of sugar but come to find out the sugar was loose but not a big deal. I ordered chocolate Earl Gray tea which was quite delightful. I was able to switch out my salmon tea sandwich for cucumber. That said, I was hoping I would have been asked if they could put another type of filling in such as the chicken with cumin or some aioli to add to the flavor. Have yet to try the scones but I'm a sucker for kalamata olives so I'm sure I'll be impressed. Lemon curd was replaced with a cranberry orange curd which had good flavor but could not discern any cranberry. While the macaron was beautiful inside and out, it was filled with a buttercream and raspberry but could not taste any raspberry whatsoever. Also, the butter cookie topped with raspberry lacked flavor. And I was a little perplexed as to why you would be serving two items with raspberry. Why not apricot? The chocolate cupcake had good flavor and piped poinsettias on top were so delicate with gold beads in the center of each but I was sort of looking for a faint flavor of something in the buttercream. Had a really nice conversation with Quinn, the owner. You can tell she's passionate about what she does and she was willing to listen to some suggestions. While I think it was a wonderful experience, $62 is a little steep for afternoon tea compared to menu and pricing of other tea rooms in the area. read more

I took my English parents here for the afternoon tea. I was very impressed with the variety of sandwiches on different breads, savory scone, and homemade lime curd. Service was great and my favorite part was that they clearly were cool with people sticking around for a few hours talking and enjoying the tea at their own pace. The only reason I only give it four stars is because the price is the highest I've paid for a tea, but it's also probably the best tasting one I've had. Service was great. Would come again. read more

Cutest tea shop!! Love how it's somewhat hidden in the back. Plenty of outdoor seating on a beautiful day. You will immediately smell the incredible scent of their fresh baked goods upon walking in. I've been going weekly, the scones are sooo good! This time I ordered a pumpkin spice scone; the berry & cream is also delicious. There's always a tea sample available! Service has always been 10/10. They have high tea menus and the assortment seems great but i have yet to try it. I love all the tea sets they have. The matcha latte is one of the best! She even made me a heart with the milk foam, what a sweet gesture! Thank you for going above and beyond in your service, it's rare nowadays to experience that. Highly recommend. read more

I had no idea Paisley's existed, and I'm so sad I didn't know about it sooner. It's such a hidden gem! The food was incredible, and so filling. The place itself is adorable and you feel like you're walking in to your British Nana's house (in the best way). We had a couple servers during our time there as there was a shift change, and they were both lovely and explained everything well. It was all of our first time doing a formal tea! They do accept reservations and I've already made one for my next visit. Highly recommend! read more

Im on the search for a new tea room after the secret garden changed their reservation system. Upon entering Paisley's there was a long line for the pastry display. I was heavily confused where to stand or be greeted since we had reservation. I flagged down a staff member, this place is on the casual side, indeed. I saw that the sugar for the tea was out in the open. So I did not use the sugar, its the reasons i didn't give a 4 star. It was also on the loud side. Tea and food; the tea options were plentiful and the chocolate earl gray that I got was really good. The sandwiches were flavorful but still delicate. The scones were soft, sweet and salty. We have to get an additional two for an additional price. I did not like the pasterys but i think that was my own taste as my husband enjoyed them. I paid 150 for two, overall all the food and tea were good. The ambience wasnt ideal for afternoon tea. Service was average. I think it's a nice place to try, but I don't see myself being a regular here. read more

Paisley's Tea Room is so cute & elegant. My friend took me here for my birthday. We each got a pot of tea, and then received a 3 tiered tray with goodies. The bottom section contained delicious sandwiches, the middle with biscuits and fruit, and the top tier with desserts. I got the chocolate mint tea and I highly recommend. I believe I also tasted a coconut vanilla and that was delicious too. The service staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I can't wait to take my mom here when she visits! The perfect date for tea lovers. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this tea room! We called the same day and were able to get seated for an afternoon slot. The staff were kind and attentive. You also get the option to try multiple teas which is not always offered at tea rooms. They also give larger portions than other tea rooms I have been to. The place is super cute inside with dried flowers, it's the perfect place for a girl's day! read more

Great place. Came out her to try the tea and service. You each get a pot of tea. I tried milky oolong. They had great touches at the table. Little plates and utensils. Very decorative setting. They have an hourglass timer on table that you flip and this tells you when to pull out the tea bag. The teapot has its own cozy. The sandwiches were divine. Especially like the cumin flavored one. The scones had a savory and plain one with this wonderful cream butter and lemon curd. The dessert cupcake was awesome but not the other cake. Would come again. read more

We loved our experience here. Came for my daughter's third birthday. Make reservations in advance. Everyone gets their own pot of tea. Food was plentiful and we could not finish it. Cute ambiance and very friendly service. I would recommend this place for afternoon tea. It's a little cheaper than the afternoon tea in Bellevue (FogRose Atelier) but more food. Also the space is bigger which is like. If I had to choose I'd probably pick this place. Since it was my daughter's birthday they added a candle to a cream puff which was a nice touch. They don't have high chairs so be prepared if you bring a baby! read more

Paisley's was recomended to me by a close friend, and it did not dissapoint! Its a small and incredibly cute and well-decorated tea shop. The staff is super helpful, friendly, and attentive. Setting up a reservation is very easy online or inperson. Good selection of teas. The 3 tiered tower is absolutely delicious and is set up beautifully. It is pricy at ~$60/person, so I only go about 3x/year but it makes birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations extra special as a yummy and fun afternoon activity. I would highly recommend! read more

Very unprofessional staff. Doesn't know how to interact with guests. DISRESPECTFUL. I came in with my family and kids were restless. There was an open table in the inside and tried to settle the kids while spouse was in line to order. There was 1 person ordering something with a party of 2 and didn't look like they wanted to sit. Suddenly, they expressed their desire to sit inside. There comes the staff with their demand to move us from the spot we were sitting as the other party liked the spot better. We immediately walked off to the coffee shop opposite to it. I would likely never set foot in this shop with this staff behavior. read more

The inside of the tea room is beautiful! Small dried flowers hang on the ceiling and tea pots like the shelves. It is peaceful, quaint, and charming! We ordered a pot of tea, scone, and a tea latte. We didn't have a reservation for high tea, so we had to sit outside on metal chairs. Fortunately, it was not too cold or rainy, but it was a surprise that was unclear until we got our food and beverages. I'd recommend for ambiance and experience, but prices are high for tea. read more

A friend and I originally planned on meeting at a nearby cafe, but after seeing how busy it was, we decided to walk over to Paisley's Tea Room out of convenience. And WOW am I glad we did! The moment I walked in the door I was just in shock at how cute and aesthetic everything was! There must have been something in the air because it was a rare Seattle sunny day in Winter and the sun was beaming in illuminating all the white inside the tea room. Immediately in front, you're greeted by the nicest pastry case and a beautiful arrangement of dried flowers hanging from above. Note to you readers, if you want to ensure you get the whole tea experience with the small bites, I definitely recommend making a reservation. We were asked if we had a reservation, which obviously we did not. Thankfully the employees let us sit at a table with our tea since there was some time before the next reservation came; and the tea and pastries could've easily been taken to-go. If you're driving to Paisley's Tea Room, it shares a parking lot with a lot of the local businesses. I arrived around 10am on a Saturday and I found parking; but I noticed how quickly the lot was starting to fill, and an hour later the lot seemed almost full. I definitely want to make another visit to Paisley's Tea Room. The Caramel Rose Latte I had was delicious and I want to try their other drinks and pastries! Check them out if you're looking for afternoon tea, or just meeting up with a friend! read more

The enticing wafting of fresh pastries coming out the oven lingers. It's so comforting to be in it. Pastries are delicious and beautiful. I don't like pumpkin but loved the pumpkin scone. It is loaded with spices and delicious. Lavender heart cookies are one of my favorites! I love the varieties of teas available. The owner did a great job for this place. The service here is also great with smiles. I've tried London fog, chocolate Earl Grey, rose oolong so far and I love them all. Can't wait to try the afternoon tea here. read more

If you're looking for a relaxing spot for afternoon tea and food Paisley's is it! The food tower is the perfect mix of savory and sweet that satisfies all tastebuds. Starting with the savory tea sandwiches the tower included the roast beef on rye delicately layered with the perfect amount of horseradish. Then we also had the chicken salad sandwich and most refreshing cucumber sandwich. The bread is pillowy soft and the perfect transition into the next layer. Following that we enjoyed the classic English scone with clotted cream and lemon curd (both made in house!) and the basil & sun dried tomato scones, which was a savory delight. Finishing at the top we enjoyed carrot cake cupcakes w/ cream cheese frosting, meringues decorated so cute for Easter, and a couple strawberry &rose shortbread cookies. The strawberry matcha latte was 10/10 perfectly layered and not too sweet and the addition of our Bellinis were chef's kiss! If you've made it to the end of this review I hope you're making a reservation! read more
