I called and told them I was taking my mom and aunt out for tea during mother's day weekend and the manager Tim was very kind and patient. He helped me figure out what would be filling for all of us and budget friendly for me. I hadn't been there before and was so thankful that he helped me out! It was a wonderful Queen's High Tea with delicious savories, soup, salad, scones, desserts, fruits, cheeses and THREE pots of tea that paired with it! I feel like it's rare that food at afternoon tea is actually tasty and it was all delicious and flavorful. Will definitely be back!! read more

Absolutely loved this place and am already excited to return. Wonderfully friendly and accommodating service and so nice to have a leisurely afternoon, eating treats and sipping tea. A friend and I had never had high tea and this gave us a great first experience! We sat outside and enjoyed the people watching. Inside is cozy and a little retro, decorated with beautiful tea sets. The teas were all brewed so well and paired beautifully with the courses of foods. All the treats were delicious and prepared so well. Highly recommend. Making a reservation was easy over the phone and service was super friendly. Will be back! read more

Tea Time - High tea! Excited to return and try the Queen's High Tea to feel extra spiffy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

10/10 experience! My friend took me out for my birthday celebration and planned to do at this spot. It's such a dainty tea room with beautiful tea sets. The owner and the server are both so friendly/ sweet. We tried the regular High Tea and the portion is perfect for us(we were so full by the end!). Since it was for my birthday, they also give us complimentary squash soup and a birthday cake desert w/tea spoon set. So cute! I definitely will come back again. read more

A friend organized a lunch "Tea Time" to celebrate her birthday early with the work ladies. In order to save time, she had us look at the menu before and she pre-ordered our choices. There was 7 of us and 4 of us pre-ordered and the rest ordered when they arrived. Weird that those that ordered there got their food earlier than us. Patience is key here....we didn't get the food until 50 minutes after we have arrived. Unfortunately, most of us had to leave to return back to work so we just had a short time to enjoy our sandwiches and our scones. I got the cinnamon scone and one each of the following sandwiches: cucumber/cream cheese, chicken salad and avocado/hummus. There was also some fresh fruit on our tiered tray...the fruit was really fresh. The best part of my meal was the scone.....the flavor was wonderful! I had a great time because I was in great company and this place was definitely an experience. Its cute! We were seated outside, so I didn't see the inside seating area. Our tables had tablecloths, but one of my friends said that she had been there before and also seated outside and the tables were bare. Service was friendly. Loved the fresh rose placed in the middle of the table. Would I come back by myself, probably not, but if asked to come back with friends I wouldn't say no. read more

I'm sorry but what kind of afternoon tea place is this... The tea is alright, not good not bad, but I was just shocked at how the tea and cookies set is just using packaged cookies from the supermarket. Also one of the staff was quite rude. read more

if I could gave this establishment zero stars, I would. gave them a call on a Saturday to see if they would be able to accommodate a party of 3. Gentleman on the line said, as of that time they were full, but would be freeing up in about 45 minutes and should be able to seat us. So I went ahead and drove that direction. When I arrived there, I went to the counter and asked for a table for 3 and girl said that they were full. I explained that I spoke to a gentleman that said otherwise. The gentleman behind her abruptly said, "Just wait till the server (not a typo, thats exactly what was said to me) clean up the table!" I let is slide, perhaps he was just stressed and didn't mean to be short. So I waited. 20 minutes goes by and the table that was empty that needed to be cleaned for us to sit was just there- not cleaned. it then dawned on me, that perhaps he was trying to be rude and wasn't interested in my business. so we left. now that part that really annoyed me was that I was taking my daughter there for her birthday. so thank you, unkind man, you ruined her birthday outing. im all for supporting small business but its evident that this man did not want my business. good luck doing business with that attitude, sir! read more

This place was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be! My friend and I got the High Tea service. Our server brought out three plates, each with special tea blend leaves on them, just so we could see and select which we liked. It was fun to get a look at the leaves and smell them. They had no problem with my friend selecting a different tea from their (quite large) selection. To start, there were little quiches and spanakopitas that were pretty good. Also a small kale salad, but the dressing was sort of strange and tasted mostly like peanut butter. The sandwiches were fine? One of them had some large pieces of sundried tomato on top that felt awkward to eat. Overall, this place has a cute, relaxed atmosphere. The service was very friendly and the tea was fantastic but I would skip the food next time. read more

We loved this place...and we will definitely come back..... We have been many Afternoon Tea places in the bay area and this one is the best...you gotta to try it! They have very delicious sandwiches and many to choose from. They also have helped us to pick the tea to go with our food. At the end of the meal, we bought some home with us to enjoy at home. They also have many items you can purchase to use it at home. We bought two of the unique teapots and a vintage tea cup and saucer with bread plate, home at a very reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

10/10 tea experience! The proprietor is so friendly without being overbearing, and the ambiance is pretty and cozy. We especially loved the savory items - incredibly delicious soup - and enjoyed the sweet treats on the top tier of our three-tier set. I loved that we got to try three different teas during our meal, selected to pair well with our food. HIGHLY recommend Tea Time with your friends and family. Can't wait to return. read more

This place holds a special place in my wife and my heart. We came here while we were dating during the height of the pandemic and enjoyed our first time here outdoors. We came back in in 2023, a few months before I would propose to my ex-fiance (now my wife hahaha), and our recent visit, we came to Tea Time as a married couple. Entering the restaurant, you are automatically greeted with a warm, and comfortable environment. There is limited seating reserved for parties way ahead of time. My wife and I were fortunate to have been placed at our same table near the fire place where we enjoyed great conversation, an AMAZING meal, and the pairing of the tea?! Next to time with my wife, the highlight of my visit this time around was enjoying High Tea! Our meals were paired with tea. For me, I enjoy a certain tea with any and all my meals and snacks. However, Tim's knowledge of flavors and textures allowed for my wife and I to enjoy amazing tasting tea with an amazing tasting high tea meal. It's crazy to think that these servings seem smaller compared to what you might receive at any other restaurant, but we both walked away full but not stuffed. It was a GREAT feeling. What also made our experience great is being able to talk with Tim, sharing our story with him and the significance of his establishment to our relationship and enjoying every piece of the experience of his restaurant. By the way, if you ever get a chance to have his seasonal pumpkin soup - do yourself a favor and have a taste. He paired it with a samosa, salad, and another appetizer-like dish and tea and I was almost full with that. It was DELICIOUS. If you are in town looking for something that includes great food and a unique experience, you should consider TEA TIME. The quality of their food and tea is complimented by their service and environment. This is a great spot for a date night out with your special person, a gathering with friends, or for someone looking to read their favorite book outside of their home. Thank you Tim, and everyone over at Tea Time that makes this place a jewel in the Bay Area. read more

This is an amazing high tea experience. The proprietor clearly understands and loves tea and designs a unique progression for the pairings. The star of the show was this pumpkin soup with strong herbaceous, savory goodness. If you're looking for high tea with quality ingredients and creative touches this is it. read more

Tea Time - December pumpkin soup quiche mushroom tart and spinach puff - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Came here for a friend's birthday party with a total of 6 people. We were seated outside, which was lovely to enjoy the ambiance. The street is closed off for pedestrians, so it doesn't feel like you're amidst any cars. The set up was lovely and they did a nice job explaining each course and tea. Servers were very friendly and helpful. However, it would have been nice to keep a menu for reference throughout, since they only showed us a print out menu for the first few minutes. The verbally repeated each item when they were delivered, but it was hard to remember. The savory first course was my favorite. The inside is very cute as well, but a bit tighter. It's a fantastic place to dress up for cute tea with your friends! We brought a camera too to capture everything and loved the fresh flowers on our table. read more

My husband surprised me for my birthday and took me here for high tea. The place is small but decorated very nicely. Chairs were comfy. We decided on the Queens High Tea menu which already included specific tea pairings. The owner personally came out to explain each of the items on the menu which we appreciated very much! All three of the recommended teas we had were very good. The menu also included a very small bowl of pumpkin soup which was perfect for the season. The tea sandwiches, pastries and scones were all delicious. Overall, the servings seemed small but it did satisfy our appetites and we even had some leftovers to take home. I truly enjoyed my high tea experience here and can't wait to share this spot with my daughter next time. read more

Let me preface this, I've visited Tea Time a few years ago with an outing with friends. I'm quite pleased to know that they are still in business. So I've reached out to the owner via email to book a reservation for my mom and I. It was her 76th birthday and her wish was to have afternoon high tea with me instead of gifting her something. She loved having afternoon high tea when she was at Raffles in Singapore and a few times while she was in London a couple of years ago. I've had afternoon high tea in Union Square at Nieman Marcus, Sir Francis Drake Hotel in SF and Four Seasons in NY; this is not our first rodeo! So, this was a treat for us! I was thrilled when Tim, the owner, called me back and we booked a table for two inside. I reserved and pre-ordered the High Tea packages. Last Saturday, we found parking nearby and we were the only ones dining in since it was an 11:00 am rsvp. We met with the owner and had a wonderful chat about his origins. They make their food offerings in-house. Everything tasted fresh. Amongst the three teapots they served us, we both loved the Ceylon and the Lychee blend teas. The savories were delicious and by far, our favorite. I think that's what we'll order for next time! I loved their brie, pesto and fig along with the smoked salmon, caper and dill tea sandwiches the best. The whole meal filled us up. We are part-grazers, so we love snacks and this was the best type of serving. I appreciate the fresh berries and fruit plate which came with tea cakes and cream puffs. But by then, we were feeling pretty full. You DO need to contact the owner by email to reserve seating and food/tea packages; the contact information is located on their website. As far as the price point is concerned, I feel it is priced fair. The vibe is nice and comfortable. Thank you for the warm and friendly hospitality, Tim and staff. The staff prepared and included a nice birthday plate for her with some tea samples, a heart tea strainer and spoon with a birthday candle on top of a pistachio cake. You've made our experience memorable. We will be back soon! read more

May Special (aka Queen's Tea) $59.99 Variety 5/5 Portion Sizes 3/5 Value 3/5 Fullness 6/5 Reservation Process 3.5/5 Call or email to make a reservation, they do ask for your credit card to hold the reservation so you can't cancel last minute. I recommend that you choose which tea set you would like to have before reaching out since they will ask. This tea service set is busy with the large variety of items that it came with but portion sizes are tiny. We still felt really full and did not finish all the sweets on top. I did wish that at the price point we were paying that we had more control over what we received at less variety but bigger portion sizes. The sandwiches are tinier than any hors d'œuvres you have ever seen. Honorable mention items: guava sencha tea, tomato soup (a bit too tart), egg roll, cinnamon scone, smoked salmon cream cheese sandwich, shrimp avocado sandwich, chicken walnut salad sandwich Notably bad items: the whole top tier With this said, we are definitely open to coming back but won't splurge again on the top priced set. read more

I really enjoyed the food & service here! The food was actually very good for afternoon tea, especially the variety of sandwiches and the vast variety of teas! However, the only thing I hope they could improve on a bit is the environment- there is limited seating outside and they only allow the "high tea" users to sit outside- which is around $60 per person. It would be nice if they allowed other menu users to use the outside dining space too! read more

Tea Time - Sandwiches & scones - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

I'll start by saying that the owner is very friendly, kind and knowledgeable, he is very passionate about tea and it's very proud and cheerful with customers. The teas were nice and I loved the have adorable tea cups and teapots and they come in the cutest "pot warmers". The shop is really small but very cute and cozy and the service as attentive and timely. I went for the Queen's tea special and didn't think $65 was too much (considering I paid something similar in London in the several tea places I went to).. However, I was a bit disappointed on the quality of the food provided. They start with a soup which was a new thing. The food wasn't "bad", but everything seemed store bought, the savory tea sandwiches were really small and didn't seem fresh. I recognized every Trader Joe's item from the cheese squares, from the samosas and egg salad and I think it robbed from the experience. The owner did say he made his own clotted cream which wasn't bad and was very light. I guess the place is really small and lacks a proper kitchen but it really didn't measure up to what I've expected as far as afternoon tea places.. I may go again for just the tea and maybe a cookie, but wasn't truly impressed with the Queens tea offering. read more

I have been wanting to do tea time and had the most fun time with my friend, and spent 2 hours there! I was happy to be able to get to go cups to pack the tea we couldn't finish. Food - My favorite mini sandwiches in order: salmon cream cheese, chicken apple walnut, cucumber cheese, and turkey-cranberry. - My favorite tea in order: Strawberry green tea, assam blend, and rooibos pure (the flavor reminds me of the Chinese herbal grass jelly drink). - The scone was tasty with the clotted cream with lemon curd jam. - I was already so full and couldn't even eat any fruits and desserts. Service - Everyone was so welcoming, attentive, and kind. With every dish and drink that came out came with a explanation and suggestion with which tea goes with which dish. Ambiance - Cute table settings indoors with many tea set and tea options to look at. I was amazed how many tea options they had! read more

I came here with a girlfriend, and we didn't know we needed to call ahead of time for high tea! They still made the time for us and explained all the different teas. I recommend calling ahead of time so they know and can serve you faster! They also sell tea leaves with instructions on how to prep. All the teas we had were super smooth. The little sandwiches were nice. We were so full at the end. read more

I took my parents to Tea Time for Mother's Day weekend, and it was a pretty pleasant afternoon. The cozy vibe, with shelves filled with adorable tea cups and pots, set the perfect scene for the Mother's Day themed high tea. We started off with three teas: Peach Rooibos, Sencha Guava Mango, and Black Currant Ceylon. Our top pick was the Rooibos. They came with the typical three-tiered plating of foods!! We hit a couple of bumps during our visit, like initially missing the Salmon with Capers sandwich. But when we asked, the staff quickly fixed us up, though I'm still confused about why that happened in the first place. Another thing we noticed was another table got their food before us, even though they arrived later. We were so into the Rooibos tea that we asked for a refill of hot water (which was free), but just a heads up, refilling the tea itself costs extra. Despite these little hiccups, Tea Time still gave my parents a lovely Mother's Day treat! Our server was super nice and even gave us tea leaves samples. Tea Time is worth considering for a relaxing afternoon treat. read more

Where do I begin? Atmosphere = authentic, timeless, warm, peaceful, relaxing, welcoming Service = friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, hard working, caring, phenomenal Tea & food = delicious, robust, well thought out pairings, well rounded My mom and I have been coming to Tea Time for almost 2 years now. We love to come here at least 2-3 times a month! Tea Time is the perfect place if you are looking to have a wonderful, relaxing afternoon. Every time we planned on going to Tea Time, we always try to come with empty stomachs so we can really enjoy the Queen's high tea spread. During our last visit, Bella was our waitress; talk about EXCELLENT, respectful service!! She was extremely patient with us, and was always very helpful and responsive with the array of questions we had. She also took the time to have a little conversation with us, while making sure she took great care of the other 6 parties she was helping. She is the gold standard for great customer service. Her attentiveness is extremely well balanced; she does not "hover" over her tables which allows customers to truly enjoy the experience of afternoon tea. The other waitress and staff were very friendly and very attentive. Tim always makes the experience top notch, and continuously looking for new ways to enhance the afternoon tea experience. His passion shows through the well thought out Queens High Tea spread, the pairings, and even how to eat scones with the clotted cream and lemon curd (which is still my favorite!). His loose leaf tea knowledge makes each visit a whole new experience and journey. If you are looking for ambiance and inspiration, this is place to have afternoon tea. I am a huge fan of loose leaf tea, and Tea Time has the best variety and quality of loose leaf tea. All the tea is carefully selected and the quality is unmatched. Considering the quality and rarity of a lot of these loose leaf tea options, Tea Time has extremely reasonable prices. If you are looking for tea to make at home, this is the best. read more

It's a very small shop and the quality of the food (for the Queen's tea) is what I would describe as "rustic." The furniture is also pretty dilapidated, but they told us that they were going to get new chairs this summer. The owner was very kind and clearly very passionate about the teas. I liked that he brought samples to our table to let us smell before we ordered. We were able to take our time going around and smelling all their varieties on the wall as well. And my friend and I had a great time chatting over our teas. We never felt rushed. I'm a fan of this small business. read more

This was our first time experiencing a tea service, and it was absolutely wonderful! The owner's passion for what he does really shined through. He clearly put a lot of thought and care into curating both our tea selection and the accompanying platter today. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming, and the service was well worth the price. I highly recommend calling ahead to discuss the menu options in advance as well as making a reservation. If the weather's nice, try to get outdoor seating! There's something especially calming about sipping tea in the fresh air. The website offers a wide variety of choices; during our visit, my family and I went with the high tea set. It included a fresh salad, tasty small savories, an assortment of sandwiches, and a selection of pastries with fruit. In the beginning, we were introduced to the three teas that would be paired with our meal. The owner brought them out for us to smell and explained which teas complemented which foods. Each tea had a lovely aroma and was thoughtfully chosen. If you did not like a certain type of tea, they are willing to replace the tea with a choice of yours. They also provided sugar cubes and milk, and refills of hot water were complimentary which was very nice. The servers were sweet and attentive throughout our whole experience. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'm already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Cozy, sweet, calming ambiance. The tea cozies wrapped around the tea pots add so much charm. I recommend Tea Time highly. Standout items: *pumpkin soup was unexpectedly incredible (thyme, rosemary, other ingredients, and cooking skill transformed this soup into savory deliciousness. I'd buy larger quantities to have at home. I will find out if this is an option.) *tea sandwiches: beautifully crafted. *winter solstice herbal tea: fantastic! *nice green tea Our group of four got the queen high tea--only option in December. If I go again, I'd opt for a different month and just get the tea, soup, and sandwiches. Potentially scones, but I'd need to see them first. The salad: Excellent dressing, little salad. Many customers might not want salad, but I would've had an entire bowl of it. Scones: *quality control issue. Three were the same size and one was smaller (I took the smaller one). I would not let different sized baked goods go out *Initially I thought the cranberry scones were chocolate chip as they were over-baked. You can get away with hard scones as one can dip in tea or let the clotted cream soften them a little, but I would be more more cautious. I prefer scones that are good on their own and clotted cream is a choice rather than a must. Tea: *loved that we were given plates with what the three teas looked like and smelled like. I would be more likely to buy loose tea because of this. *When the black tea came, we weren't offered a way to pour out our green tea if we hand't finished. Offering a fresh cup for each new tea is an option, but that creates more washing and more of an environmental impact. More assistance for the tea transitions would be ideal. *the winter solstice herbal tea was fantastic. We needed to head out, but I plan to buy the herbal variety the next time I'm near. Desserts: Good. *eclair: chocolate and pate choux were good but almost no cream inside. *Tiny terrain: beautiful layers (7 or more) and plated on a tiny square. I did not see the square and wrecked the terrain when I clumsily pulled at it. Confusion: *a small spoon and tea infuser in an organza pouch with a price tag was added to the dish with our bill. We didn't know if it was complimentary or if it would be added to bill later (it was my friend's birthday). Maybe remove the price tag if it's complimentary? Nice quality with a cute little spoon. Tip: We didn't know until the end that it was added automatically. If no tip was added, I would've tipped the minimum (15% on the nose) as the service was limited to bringing items out. No checking back. A little attention makes customers feel considered and cared about. I'm more likely to return to places where wait staff checks back in an authentic way. The owner/manager is fantastic, knowledgeable, and very service oriented. He came near the end and his friendliness made me want to return. Not sure if I would book again if not for him. read more

The Queen's Tea at Tea Time in Palo Alto is an experience close to being a "royal"! My friend and I recently celebrated her birthday at Tea Time for the second year in a row.

It is easy to spend two hours and more over tea in this regal manner. Make a reservation! read more

Tea Time - High Assorted Tea Sandwiches Regular - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palo Alto, California

Came with a friend for afternoon tea on a Sunday afternoon. We made a reservation through phone which required putting a credit on file and selecting which afternoon tea set you want. It's a bit odd that they don't use an online res system. Once we arrived, we were able to each choose a tea and then waited for the monthly special afternoon tea we ordered which is their largest set. It started off with a small tomato soup with savory accompaniments. This was pretty good to start. The actual tiered set came shortly after with mini sandwiches (turkey cranberry, smoked salmon cream cheese, egg salad), scone with clotted cream and lemon curd, cheese slices, and mini desserts. Overall the food was just ok and felt very packaged. The savory sandwiches in general were pretty good but lacked flavor. The scone was a bit dry and didn't taste very fresh. The worst were the sweet bites which tasted like they were from a supermarket and cheese slices that looked the same as the slices you buy in bulk at the grocery store. For $55 per person with a 20% service charge, I expected more from the service, experience and most importantly quality of the food. read more

Tim the owner was helpful, kind, and hospitable as I planned afternoon tea for my friend's birthday. They offer outdoor seating, four two seat seatings, and one large table seating for twelve, an assortment of tea cups, loose leaf teas, and tea cups. The establishment is small but has ample seating for groups of two and one large group. I opted for the Simply English Tea that had a blueberry scone with clotted cream and lemon curd, an assorted array of tea sandwiches, (chicken apple walnut, turkey cranberry to name a few), small eclair, tiny cheesecake, slice of an orange, and apple, two grapes, and three cherries. The assortment of food was good. The scone could have been larger, and more assortment of food offered for $39.95.

I buy a LOT of loose tea and am quite picky about quality so usually shop online. Upon recommendation I visited this shop to buy some tea because I am enthusiastic about supporting local businesses. Two stars because the tea is quite good, but the owner was so standoffish to me - and rude to his server - that I can't bring myself to go back. Maybe I didn't give off the impression of being worth his time as a customer. It was very upsetting and disappointing. I will go back to buying online where I don't have to worry about being unfairly judged. read more

Really enjoyed coming here. It's tiny inside but during the summer they have an outdoor patio which is perfect. The food was AMAZING.
