Had the cutest time at a tea party event hosted by a friend, and I'm still thinking about it! The tea? Chef's kiss. So many yummy options and every cup was perfection. The vibes were immaculate--think cozy, charming, and just the right amount of fancy. And okay, random but important--the tomato soup was SO good. Like, unexpectedly amazing. Major shoutout to the staff too--they were absolute pros, somehow juggling two parties at once and still making everything feel seamless and special. 10/10 would sip (and slurp) again. read more

I have only one thing to say about T-Caf: J'ADORE! T-Caf is one of the most charming places you can find in Scott's Addition! This French cafe/tearoom makes this Richmond girl's heart (and tummy) happy. As a tea fiend, I love that they have a huge selection of teas to pick from. I really enjoy their organic five peaks and organic earl grey here. In true tea fashion, they offer cream, honey, or sugar to compliment your tea too! My favorite part about this shop is the mix and match aesthetic. The furniture is all different and so are the cups and dishes. I collect vintage tea cups and swoon over the tea cups they have here. The owners are so lovely and sweet! They'll even let you practice your French with them. This is a great place to take your Mom or Grandma, but it's also a great spot to cowork too! It's intimate and quiet enough for both activities. Looking for a small bite? The canapé crevette avocat coriandre and canapé roquefort poire are so delightful and yummy! The creme caramel is tasty too. I highly recommend this spot! read more

It's always a joy to find another tea room in the city! Evidently this one has been open for awhile, wonder if wonders!! Located in the Scott's Addition area, this eclectic French style cafe/tearoom had a welcoming exterior with its bright yellow brick facade beckoning us inside! The interior was sort of a hodge podge of old and new furniture, little tables here and there, some couch level, others regular tables, and still others nestled in cozy corners. Their were some nooks with two Queen Anne chairs and a tiny teak table, some brocade settees and leather sofas, some rattan chairs with glass tables, occasional chairs in various fabrics encircling a cool table topped with old vinyl records! Anywhere you choose to sit has a fabulous view of modern paintings and interesting retro décor. There's a QR code to scan for the menu. And what a diverse menu it was! From crepes, to quiches, canapés to tartines, viennoiseries and true French Toast... you're bound to find something here to delight your palate! We chose the Quiche Lorraine, Quiche poulet poivron with side salads. Incredible and exquisitely edible! The quiche was amazing... flaky crust, rich egg filling with savory cheese and bacon. The salad of tomato, cucumber, avocado, and arugula had the most wonderfully tangy dressing/sauce I've ever tasted! A mixture of orange, lemon, dill, honey and olive oil. So refreshing and light! The desserts are to die for! I had the gateau à l'orange cake and it was delectable, dense and tasty! My friend had the creme caramel which she found just ok! I want to go back for their croissants! The tea and coffee menus are extensive! We chose the Earl Grey tea, but here you can certainly be more adventurous as the selections are varied and intriguing! The teacups were gorgeous and brought on lovely trays by the owner's young boys. They were so polite and hospitable! The service was a smidgen slow but so worth the wait & also meticulous and kind. The French chef, Maggy, also served us and she was so sweet and personable. So expect to relax and lounge and don't be in a hurry... it's like you are on European time! And it's amazing! The owner Théodore (I hope I spelled that correctly) has an interesting story as to how he came to settle in RVA! The restroom was immaculate and the brass faucet blew my mind! The whole building is rather old, so these cool furnishings and fixtures just add the the vintage vibe. This place will definitely be one of my regular haunts... as a matter of fact, I'm craving it right now!! Postscript: I did go back today! I had a repeat performance of my previous meal and it was even more exquisite than before! We also shared the avocado & egg on French bread and it was remarkably good! We added a pain au chocolat for dessert and it was buttery, chocolatey, and fabulous! I also ordered 3 plain croissants to go - a must have!! Trust me!! We also ordered a black cold tea - it was a lapsang souchong which was an organic smoked tea... as the menu states, it's an acquired taste. It tastes like a bonfire smells, smooth and smoky. We preferred the bergamot hints of the Earl Grey but it was fun to try something new! Impeccable service and food! And I love the dreamy French music in the background! Oui oui!! Viva la France! read more

The staff and owner were all so welcoming and kind, and the whole experience felt so personable and cozy. They have couches/chairs or tables to choose from, and a section with some board games, and the overall ambience was great.

All the stars! I somehow had missed this place until today, but it's officially a new favorite. In the middle of the afternoon on a Thursday, it was empty and quiet--absolute heaven for me to take a work break and read my book for a bit (in a super comfy couch, btw--no crappy metal chairs here!). This place is a MUST-visit for readers. The owner, Theodore, is lovely and made a great cappuccino for me to enjoy. They have a simple coffee/espresso drinks menu (beans from recluse, right around the corner!), and a fairly robust food menu (a necessity for coffee shops IMO) with French toast, hummus plates, tartines, and more. I truly can't wait to go back. read more

The owner theodore (?) is great and his vision speaks through the decor and ambiance. Great place to grab a well priced drink and/or snack to read, study, or hang out.

A quaint tea (and coffee) shop in Scott's Addition. My party of 10 was looking for tea time and I'm glad I found this place. I called ahead of time to select teas and finger foods. The owner was nice and accommodating. I told him our budget and dietary restrictions and he prepared a variety of options. Our seating area was ready when we arrived and he checked on us several times. Highly recommend for working, reading, or catching up with a friend!

My friend said she wanted to come to lunch here and I was a little skeptical because I had never heard of it before. It just opened up in Scott's and we were near by so we all decided to head over and have some lunch. When you walk in you see two rooms full of different tables and chairs. You might choose wooden chairs or you might choose comfy chairs... take your pick. We were greeted by the chef who said we could sit anywhere. Disclaimer: if you are coming here in a hurry that's not going to work. This is slow, European style dining. That being said, it's not a five star from me because the communication wasn't great. I felt bad for ordering anything because I felt like a bit of a burden. I think either the chef has a bit of a language barrier or doesn't normally work on the floor. Second disclaimer: This is a tea cafe. Please do not go in except big portions, Americans. Everything was delicious! I started off with the jasmine tea and it was sooooo good. Sitting there drinking it with my teapot that I could pour out of when I wanted my tea to be hotter was so nice. It's also nice be served tea in dainty tea cups. I ordered a cheese and turkey croissant that was hot and buttery. I also ordered a chocolate cake. My friends really enjoyed their sandwiches as well. There's great Wi-Fi here for getting work done and it's quite cozy. I recommend a visit! read more

I found this gem while visiting Richmond for the weekend, and I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town. It was the best food that I had the entire trip, and sipping their amazing tea was a nice, relaxing way to spend a snowy Sunday afternoon. The service was also friendly and accommodating. I wish that I lived closer so I could try everything on their menu. The spinach & goat cheese quiche was delicious, with a perfectly flaky crust, and the turkey and cheese croissant was mouth-watering. We finished with a creme brûlée, baked fresh that morning, and it was so good that I wanted to order a second one. The tea selection was on point too, so both my fiancé and I were able to order a pot of each of our favorite teas. read more

Atmosphere felt like la a library not like a cafe. Very faint music played once in the background. Place was mostly empty. Food took over 45 minutes to arrive, portions were very small. Service was good extremely slow, we got coffee after 15 minutes of ordering then waited 5 minutes for sugar and creamer, then after a half he we got the French toast which was tiny. All food was served on dessert plates (the 3 French toast pieces fit on one plate!). We then waited another 5 minutes for the waitress to bring the syrup then another 5 minutes for the rest of our order. On the plus side, it's got fun eclectic furniture. And my avocado toast was tasty. read more

Came for tea and small bites with a friend. A nice jazzy soundtrack played in the background to create a relaxing atmosphere. They have an eclectic selection of seating which we found fun and welcoming. Staff was friendly and they have a wonderful selection of teas as well as little snacks. Our open face sandwiches (which I believe they call sofas) were fresh and delightful. The cookies had a nice crispness perfect for accompanying tea. The real highlight was my matcha cream crepe. Crepes are hard to come by in Richmond so I was excited to see them on the menu. I will certainly be back. A nice place to hang with a friend or do a little reading/journaling. read more

What an adorable place for tea aficionados! Very chill cafe vibe with eclectic chairs to match. The service can be a little slow, so whenever you do have the server's attention, place your order! They have a ton of different teas and really tasty foods to snack on. I got the ricotta and pear tartine and the croissant fromage - turkey. Both were very good, but the croissant was *chef's kiss* perfection. Even as a tea fan, their tea menu was a bit overwhelming - I had no idea where to start, but our server helped guide us. I unfortunately can't recall which tea I got (whoops) but it was good. Excited to return and try more! read more

Wonderful! T-Caf is a well-kept secret in Scott's Addition, but should not be. The owner (who is from France) has a wide selection of teas as well as an impressive small plates menu. I assembled a mini-platter of open-faced sandwiches -- one with avocado (of course), another with goat cheese, nuts, and honey, and the final one with goat cheese and fig jam. Perfect for a light lunch. The interior is expertly designed with tasteful yet eclectic mid-century furniture. Outdoor seating is fairly basic, but it's nicely shaded and in a quieter part of the neighborhood. It's a great place for spending the afternoon. I know I'll be back! read more

If I didn't do reviews I definitely would have gate kept it but i'm just so nice ‍ The Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie just hits the spot and fills the craving so easily. That's my favorite drink there! I'm so excited to try their other items as well. When I went I didn't see any food, but hopefully I'll be able to try some on my next visit too!

CaryTown Teas

A friend of mine introduced me to this place. It is just down the street from PBR. If you are…read morelooking for a specific kind of tea, you may have good luck finding it here. The store is slightly tucked back and can be hard to find. It is in a quiet area of town as well. Off the beaten path of Cary Street. Inside the store there is a small seated area in the front and throughout . It is really quaint. I loved how the tea is stored in black metal containers. You can get tea made to sip on there, or to go. You can also purchase loose leaf tea. Pricing is reasonable. There is a wide array of loose leaf tea. The three employees were amazing. They were awesome! I can not say it enough. They were so helpful, and they knew their product. If one did not know, the other would know. There is a punch bingo card, which is nice and unique. Parking is located on the street, or public lots throughout Richmond.

They have a huge selection of teas to enjoy in the shop or take to go with you. It is a smaller shop so there is limited seating. Do know that there can be a long wait sometimes.

When it is your turn, you get a lot of love and attention. I was looking for some uncaffeinated fall tea and loved trying their rooibos chai tea. You can find all types of teas here and you're able to get them to go in different sizes. I highly recommend checking this lovely place out.

The Queen's Library Tea Room

Finding The Queen's Library is half the adventure -- and not entirely in a good way. I never would…read morehave spotted it had I not been given the address that the front door faces (which is 3rd St. not Clay St); it's tucked away with minimal signage, and I was practically standing in front of it before I realized it. First-timers, come prepared. Then there's parking. On the day we visited, a convention across the street had swallowed every available spot in the area. One-way streets, detours, and a full 25 minutes of circling later, I finally made it inside. Hot, from walking 6 blocks away, and frazzled is not the ideal headspace for a genteel tea experience. All of this makes the news of their upcoming move to Stony Point genuinely welcome -- easier access could transform the whole outing. Once you're in, though, the vibe delivers. The room is styled like a Victorian English salon, all refined and atmospheric, with a soundtrack pulled straight from beloved period films -- Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility -- that quietly transports you to the Regency era. The service is polished and professional, the presentation elegant. Having taken tea in both England and Scotland, I can say this holds up -- it's the real thing. The food is authentically English as well, meaning sparse and understated. Don't arrive hungry expecting something hot and filling. It's not that, and England is not known for its food. That said, the chicken salad with lemon infusion was the standout offering. We sampled six tea flights -- three hot, three cold -- and the first hot flight was genuinely fragrant and lovely. The rest were pleasant but unremarkable. The sparkling options were a nice palate cleanser. It's expensive for what it is, so this probably isn't a weekly habit. But as an occasional indulgence -- especially for fans of period dramas and Regency fantasy -- it's a charming little escape. Fortunately, you can go to Stony Point and avoid the parking adventure. And a suggestion for the wonderful owner. Invest in DEVONSHIRE or CORNISH clotted cream. It really makes a difference. ANNNNDDD, I've been drinking tea every since the visit, so it made an impression.

I wanted to enjoy this more than I actually did, especially since I took my sister there for her…read morebirthday and wanted it to be special for her since she enjoys English experiences. Starting with finding the place, I couldn't. I live nearby, know the area, and could not find 221 E. Clay St. There's no signage, and there's no door marked 221 on E. Clay St. Where you actually walk in is 414 N. 3rd Street. But they don't advertise that (except by putting a small sandwich board on the sidewalk WHEN they're open) and won't tell you that, even after asking twice. I literally had to photograph the block, circle 3 doors on the photo, send it to them, and ask them which door do we come to. It was like pulling teeth. You have to book and pay, including gratuity, in advance. It's a gamble, but given the high ratings, I took the gamble. The place is adorable, starting with the gift shop, which is filled with (of course) teas, tea service sets, books (mostly by Jane Austen or similar), accessories, and trinkets. Very lovely. And expensive. You're greeted when you walk in, and the service is very professional. The servers look the part, are well-trained and present the service with explanations and a smile. The tea room is lovely to look at--(mostly) appropriate English style chairs, sofas and small coffee tables, but wasn't at all comfortable for us. We were seated at the very front of the room in two armless chairs, which meant my back was to the rest of the room. I had a view of the door, essentially, and didn't get to even see the rest of the room, which I didn't realize was filled with others enjoying their tea. My sister had a lamp directly beside her head, which she had to turn off to keep from being too hot. There are 5 courses of teas, the first and last of which are palate cleansers. The palate cleansing teas were delicious. but did contain caffeine, which we'd hoped didn't. We asked for herbal teas for our service and was accommodated with pleasure (thank you). Of the main three tea courses, I only enjoyed the first, which was truly incredible, very fragrant. Just an explosion of delight for the taste buds. It was a pink hibiscus blend. The second was a citrus blend, but had ZERO flavor. The third was a ginger blend. VERY ginger-y, but unlike any ginger tea I've ever had. It almost tasted like a savory broth. The food served on the tea towers was sadly forgettable. I did enjoy the lemon chicken salad on croissant, but the chicken salad was rationed so thin, I barely knew it was chicken salad. The other sandwich, likewise, was all bread. Such meager servings! Again, forgettable. I literally forget what was on it. I do remember a slight hint of pimento cheese. The second tier of breads, I could've completely done without. But at $65/person, I wasn't leaving a crumb! Even the desserts were forgettable. I expected the food, as minimal as it is for afternoon tea, to be incredible and full of flavor. It was not. Even the tea sets and towers you served with are not as lovely as the ones they have for sale. I expected to use the good stuff. I was also surprised to see many children's books on one of the book shelves in the tea room. I really would not have been pleased had there been a noisy toddler running around during our tea. I think the rave reviews gave me expectations that just didn't live up to the experience. I love the story of the owners and I want them to do well. I love tea. I love books. It's a terrific concept. They spoke to us about their new location in Stony Point in such a way that almost pointed out all of the misgivings of their 3rd Street (not Clay Street, mind you) location, and that those things (such as the furnishings and decor) would be a major upgrade. I hope the furniture placement (and comfortability), food and other two herbal tea choices, are too.

I was treated to Floris for my birthday, and I loved it! The building is traditional with matching…read moredecor. Beautiful. You sit in chairs and tables like a restaurant, which is comfortable (unlike an English salon setting that you'll experience at another tea room). The tea was NOT the star of the show. The food was. Every single thing on the tower was incredible! The only mediocre item was the brownie. How hard is it to mess up a brownie? There was no presentation of the tea. The porcelain was attractive, but plain and didn't meet the vibe of the venue and the event that afternoon tea should be. One of my pots came barely warm when tea should be piping hot. None of them stood out as a favorite, either, which was disappointing. I was also disappointed that they didn't have a huge selection of teas or porcelain for sale. Go for the food and atmosphere, with good company, and you'll leave very satisfied.

The quiche is the best I've ever had -- the crust was perfectly flaky, and the eggs were cooked just right, not overdone. The overall selection is well-chosen: not abundant, but calibrated precisely to leave you satisfied. Every item earns its place on the menu. The space is lovely -- period decor, elegant wall trim, beautiful curtains, and charming antique tea dishes on display. But there's a jarring note: a large modern painting occupies a prominent wall, clashing visibly with everything around it. The tea itself is served in individual modern pots, which is practical (you and your companion can each order something different), but the pots are plain and forgettable. A beautiful period tea cup and pot would elevate the experience into a proper event. And then there's the tea -- which, in a tea room, really ought to be the star. It isn't. There's no presentation, no ceremony, no ritual. Of our three orders, the first (lavender, chamomile, and mint) arrived scalding hot and tasted bitter, as though it had been brewed too long. The second -- Moroccan Dreams, I believe -- was fragrant but flat in flavor, and arrived tepid. The third, a cherry blossom blend, was genuinely lovely. Third time was the charm. Service was warm and capable when our server was present -- which wasn't always. Fortunately, we were in a leisurely mood. If you're pressed for time, that could be a real frustration. I parked in the lot which was an addition $6.
