    Honey available for tea
    Jennifer H.

    Second visit was no where near as good as our first. Service was lack luster, almost non-existent. When I made the reservation, we specified that there were 3 vegetarians, and asked for veggie sandwiches instead of tuna/chicken/ egg (we did this at our first visit and it was no problem at all) unfortunately they put all chicken, tuna, egg and no veggie sandwiches as promised. The tea was extremely watered down maybe?, not as much flavor as the first time we visited. The eclairs and creampuffs were so soggy you could not pick them up without them just completely falling apart into a pile of mush. In a few short months this establishment has really gone down hill. ( just an fyi, You need cash to leave a tip. You cannot leave it on your card. )

    An absolute treat. I came here for lunch with my big sister and had a delightful time. It is very adorable here... with everything you could possibly want for tea time. Nestled in a beautiful house. The atmosphere, food and service is top notch. Our server Emily was an absolute pleasure. She really knew the menu and suggested very good teas. All staff were very friendly as well. It is very peaceful here for soft music. We were enjoying the tea so much we went a little crazy and shared multiple pots. Some tea we tried was banana nut bread, vanilla macaron, chai and and coconut. I love that we each had our own unique china teapot. They have the sugar and cream on the table ready to use as well. I loved the tea but I was really impressed by the food. I chose the tea time combo and my sister chose the quiche combo. For mine I got the Chickan Salad Croissant and you can choose a soup or salad to pair. I asked for half and half. I loved the potato leak soup and raspberry dressing for the salad. It also comes with seasonal fruit which was delicious and fresh. The food looks beautiful and taste even better. My sisters spinach, mushroom quiche was marvelous. I will get that next time. She got hers with half salad and half broccoli cheddar soup. Everything was simply phenomenal. Of course we had to get some pastries. They have a lovely assortment. They are not overly sweet and have delicate flavors. They all pair well with the tea. Pricing is fair here. Their menu is quite simple with daily specials. If you want to do the high tea you will need to make a reservation but walk-ins are welcome otherwise. They have plenty of seating and accommodate large groups. They also can host private parties upon request. Overall it is a very adorable tea house. I look very forward to coming back.

    Wonderful!! I always have a great time when I come here. The owner is such a sweetheart and so passionate about all things tea. He makes pretty much everything fresh! (And has a super cool mustache). The tea itself is of excellent quality and the house itself is adorable! It only took about 15 minutes for everything to come out!! Would recommend!!!

    Morning croissants with egg and cheese and orange chai tea

    I love how adorable this place is, the decorations are so cute and perfect for teatime. The food is a great price for the amount, I usually get either the egg and cheese croissants or chicken salad and whatever tea sounds good! The service is incredible, the owner and the servers are all very friendly and helpful. This is a hidden gem that everyone needs to check out!

    Sweet Cinnamon Chai Tea with Milk Tea rose

    Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.! Really enjoyed my time here with my friends and it was really a relaxing touch to my week after school and work. The service is perfect. They don't make you feel rushed to order and as it was our first time going our server gave us some really good options for tea as well as food. I really enjoyed my sweet cinnamon chai! And my tea rose! Delish!!! Definitely going to be implemented in my schedule

    This place is adorable! They moved into this building back in November, and it is the perfect space for it. There are tables decorated with teapots and teacups throughout. Tables indoors and outdoors, and it is very quaint and cozy. They have an area where you can purchase additional bakery items like scones, muffins, cookies, and cakes. My friend and I came for the Sunday brunch high tea. With tax, it was about $25 per person. For the two of us, the high tea came with a choice of one of over a dozen black, white, green and herbal teas; 4 ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwiches, 2 mini quiches, 2 scones I believe one was like a butterscotch and one a chocolate, two mini cinnamon rolls, two mini muffins, some fruit, two little lemon cakes, butter, jam and a little apple swirled dessert. It was so cute and fun to do. The only thing that would make it better is a few more savory options, so it wasn't so dessert-heavy. I know they have a regular menu, but I don't know what that entails, but maybe some small cucumber sandwiches would be nice, something to break up all the sweetness from the muffins, scones and cake. Would definitely come again, but I would love to try one of the other lunch options. Also note they only accept cash tips, they can't take them on a credit card.

    I recently had the pleasure of having high tea here. It was amazing. Upon entering the atmosphere is wonderful. It was like walking into a library for afternoon tea. There are tea sets everywhere, along with books, and unique furnishing.  We were greeted by the owner and sat quickly. I loved everything about the feel of the room. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning.  Once seated we choose our tea. There were many choices from black tea to green tea to fruit-flavored. You can even get good ole southern sweet tea.  Once tea arrives in our individual teapots we were brought our food. On the 3 tier serving tray, we receive multiple flavors of tea sandwiches, I plate of fresh-baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and on the top tier delicious desserts.  Everything was so good and fresh. The service was amazing and the whole feel was wonderful.  Overall one of the best ta rooms I have ever visited.  Side note: If you want to have high tea you have to book a reservation in advance. However, if you just want to have lunch or breakfast with a pot of tea you can just walk in. The food here is amazing. Whether you want to do a tea party or just have a nice lunch they got you covered.

    If you like disgustingly dirty establishments you will love this place. I came at my grandmas request and used the bathroom upon arriving, which looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the houses building back in the 1910's. Tea kettle was filthy as well as the tablecloth, 2/3 of our napkins and the place in general smelled musty. See pics for proof

    Called 2 times on a Saturday for reservations told they were busy call back later. Went online filled out the RSVP received a email you must call online RSVP are not confirmed. Called on a Monday the owner told me to call back tomorrow they were closed and don't take reservations on Mondays. Finally received a reservations on Tuesday.....wish we wouldn't have went after all of that. Lewis the owner was even more rude in person, restaurant was unorganized & we received horrible customer service.

    We absolutely loved our experience! The food was delicious, service was personal, and the atmosphere was magical. Very relaxing and worldly. The owner even texted me for convenience and catered to our needs. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend. 10/10!

    I went to this place after searching for tea houses on Yelp. The food, tea selection, atmosphere, and staff are incredible. I visited twice in one-week, and definitely will be visiting again. Menu items are reasonably priced and good position sizes. Definitely recommend!

    It's a cute little shop with lots of bubble tea flavors like milk tea, taro tea, oolong tea, fruit…read moretea, cheese foam, and more. They also have seasonal flavors! There's lots of yummy sweets in the bakery like chiffon cake, cheesecake, basque cheesecake, cream puffs, burst cake, mochi, crepe cake, french macarons, and more. It's near the Enson Market. It wasn't too loud inside and there were plenty of places to sit. I think it would be a great place for a date or to meet up with friends. My order: The matcha green tea w. coconut milk (no boba). I also tried the tiramisu mousse cake. The green tea was really tasty, the tiramisu mousse was just okay IMO. Why I left a four star review: There weren't a lot of dairy-free milk options, the price point was a tad high, and there are too many other boba tea shops in Gainesville with a better price point and flavors.

    Look, I'm not from Gainseville. I'm from LA, on a visit, and LA is home to the best Chinese…read morefood/asian food and desserts in the country (don't let NYC tell you different). So the fact that I'm giving this place 5 stars means this place is stellar. It's not a place I would even expect to exist in a small place like Gainseville, let alone be THIS GOOD. BUT this place is THAT GOOD. The cakes were all LA tier, maybe even Taiwan/China tier, which is Saying SOMETHING!!! I travel a lot and my experience with asian stores in small towns has always been subpar. It might look authentic, etc but then the taste will disappoint and I'm reminded why the 626 in LA is known as an Asian food haven. But this store tasted straight out of the 626. I walked in looking for Asian desserts because I can only go so long existing on wypipo food tbh. I noticed there's a nice new Chinese market next door and the staff inside was all Chinese, speaking Mandarin - very encouraging. I looked at the cakes. They looked legit! Real Asian cake store level. But I still told myself to lower my expectations with the taste so I wouldn't be disappointed later. I bought four cakes and two drinks. Would have bought food too but their kitchen was closed (I came 30 mins before closing). Tbh, the drinks are just fine. I've had better, these were a tiny bit watered down - but still decent. The guava and lychee flavors we got were very prevalent and there was a fresh lime slice in mine. But the cakes!!! The cakes are 5 star. The cakes are LA worthy. TAIPEI worthy. What is this store doing in Gainseville?? I sure hope they survive. I have to come back to Gainseville often for medical events, so - I will be coming to this store EACH TIME. Please, please stay open for me. ;) The cakes are perfectly light, soft, not too sweet. (If you know Asian desserts you'll know what I'm talking about). The mochi layers inside were perfectly done, sweet, smooth, very QQ. Everything from the injeolmi flavor to taro paste to mango gelatin layers - all the flavors were there in just the right way. The textures - perfect. Lady M can't compete with the crepe cakes. The basque was cooked to PERFECTION. The mochi round cakes - like eating Taro clouds. This is not an amateur bakery, folks. This bakery know what they're doing. You have a gem here, Gainseville. I literally logged into Yelp to leave this review for them. Please do yourself a favor and try their cakes - Try them ALL. Experience the beauty of Asian desserts. I feel like every single thing here will be done perfectly. I know I'm gonna keep coming back to try more!
