They also have shakes (sorry not sorry, I refuse to adopt the Bostonian thing of calling it a "frappe") in multiple sizes, which you actually don't see too commonly in the area. It also smells delicious when you walk in, and there's friendly service, in addition to a variety of sorbets and non-dairy options. I think this will be my new neighborhood ice cream spot!

I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

There is a good amount of seating in the store and free water for customers to fill themselves which I always love. The Bacon Egg and Cheese was a wise decision and priced very very well, I would definitely recommend that! My favorite sweet was the strawberry tea cake, top class that was. The donut and banana bread were also very tasty but I didn't get to eat enough of them to feel as strongly about them as I do the strawberry tea cake. I think it's assume you can't go wrong with anything you can purchase from Butternut Bakehouse,... Enjoy! The ambiance was full of energy with friendly staff and happy customers. Would definitely recommend.

It was nice to have a more home-made version of the classic Starbucks bites and enjoy a coffee that was well balanced. On a weekend youll find an array of people from families to groups of friends, but I never saw people waiting long for seats. Adding to the neighborhood feel is their bulletin board of local ads and promotions which really adds to the community feeling of this place. The service was friendly despite being busy and moved very quickly. I would definitely come back here.

There was no gossiping. Very professional. There is a wall of chocolates and snacks you can also purchase. Lots of room and tables to sit. The white fence and blue walls give it a Cape Cod feel. The avocado toast was tasty. It had a runny egg on top. I would have preferred metal utensils vs plastic ware. But there were no metal forks left. The plastic fork wasn't cutting it (get it?). Hubby got the breakfast sandwich: ham on English muffin. It didn't fill him up so he got another ham and cheese croissant. I would have preferred the cheese heated but hubby didn't mind it cold. The croissant was buttery and flaky though. Before we left we got some cold drinks from the fridge. They had some sparkling teas--Tea soda! Gonna try out the Blue Tea Jasmine.

Went for Mother's Day 2026 and could not have been more disappointed. We made a reservation for 2pm…read moreand by 2:50 had still only received water. When our tea came we did not even have napkins or spoons to stir the tea; the place had only one server for a holiday and everyone in the restaurant was waiting an extremely long time. Why wouldn't you have more servers at a tea house on Mother's Day? I wound up getting up from our table to get our spoons, knives, and napkins from a stand I saw because we weren't being paid attention to. The food itself was pretty measly. Would never ever return. Very bad experience.

I heavily regret to say this was the worst experience ever in Tea Service!…read more We arrived here promptly at 10:00 AM as it was the only availability for Mother's Day. Firstly, I wasn't entirely thrilled about the tacky decor with peeling wallpaper. I understand they were trying to be vintage and eclectic, but it looked very cheesy to me as mismatched, teapots and plates and cups was displayed for a yard sale. On top of it they had very dirty filmy water glasses on the table which is very interesting considering we're there for tea. Why on earth would you have bottled water in Tea service? I requested another glass so our server literally picked the other glass from another table which was equally if not more filmy. Here's the most annoying part. We were there on time at 10 o'clock and there were two other parties that came literally 5 to 10 minutes after we were seated. What I don't understand is these two other parties had their tea and tea plates first and we are literally sitting there with the tea we ordered without anything to eat. Our server seemed to be overwhelmed, unnecessarily considering it wasn't crazy busy with a line out the door on the contrary, there were a couple of empty tables. There was no real reason for us to wait for our food. We waited for a good 20 minutes. We did not complain at all, but our server knew that we weren't happy based on my husband's very hungry expression and my silence. She however, apologized voluntarily about the wait and said "Sorry for the wait ...as you can see we're quite overwhelmed". When our tea tower finally came, it looked fine except we were missing the two scones. She never checked up on us and when we flagged her down regarding our missing scones. She comes back with the two ugliest scones ever one tiny one and one larger one. I was trying to not think that this was a personal vendetta. If this person was properly trained, they would know that if we're waiting, you should put two extra stones to make up for the horrible experience.. now honestly she was an older woman (who am I kidding? We're probably same age) so I felt very bad for her for some reason. There was no reason for any issues honestly, how hard is it for anyone to plate pastries and tea sandwiches on a plate??? it shouldn't take long. I have gone to many Tea services in Boston ( like The Courtyard) and even the Vintage Tea House in Lexington, which I believe might be the same company. So what happened? Different ownership? The restroom is equally bad and this entire place needs a serious upgrade. We left without any acknowledgment or goodbyes, which also confirmed the lack of warmth here. I want to be clear that it is not my best interest to put down any small businesses. On the contrary I am a big promoter of smaller businesses. But unfortunately, I know my teaware, Teas, bites, and proper service. This establishment could be top notch. If you look like looking for an upscale experience where you can have bridal showers or any celebratory occasions I would recommend other places. If you are more casual, then this place would be more appropriate. I think I overdressed for the occasion.
