    Cucumber dill

    We had an absolutely lovely time at afternoon tea! The host was not only warm and welcoming but also an impromptu photographer--happily helping us snap a few adorable group shots. One of my usual concerns with afternoon tea is whether there will be enough variety (and quantity!) for everyone. That definitely wasn't an issue here. The tea sandwiches were both plentiful and delicious--especially the chicken salad, which was my personal favorite. And let's talk about that dessert tower... the banana pudding was a standout! By the time we wrapped up, I was happily full. It was a greatl way to spend the afternoon.

    I've been going to high tea since childhood so I have a certain expectation for food and service when going to tea. My coworkers and I have been to other places for tea and wanted to try this place since we heard it's Black-owned. Simply put, this place is fabulous! It's located in the Virginia Highlands section of Atlanta. There is ample street parking in front of the restaurant, however, trying to pay for parking isn't the easiest task. There is signage to guide you to a website for parking but the website has a page of other parking websites, for which you can pay. This is pretty confusing. Also, it's not clear what the "parking zone" is so I actually went into another surrounding establishment to ask. This is the only negative thing I have to say about my experience here. We made reservations (strongly recommended) and had to put down a $25 non-refundable deposit, per person. That said, DO NOT make reservations unless you absolutely know you can make it or you don't care about losing your deposit. Also, it's $95/pp (your deposit is applied to your grand total) and 20% gratuity is automatically added to your final bill. They don't have an issue with splitting checks either, so keep that in mind. In any event, we showed up for our reservation and were greeted promptly by Brandon, who was a great waiter for the duration of our time here. The decor in the restaurant is lovely and everything is basically set-up to for photo opps! Once seated, we were told that we get two pots of tea for the entire table along with a food tray and dessert tray. They had cucumber sandwiches, smoked salmon toast and chicken salad sandwiches, which were adorned with The Dirty Tea logo, as well as other random logos (like the Avengers LOL). Everything was delicious. Our dessert tray had scones, macarons, tiramisu, raspberry cheesecake, some DIVINE chocolate mousse pastry and other sweets. We were also provided with our own clotted cream for the scones. I highly recommend this place for high tea, a bridal shower, or a ladies afternoon! I'll be back!

    Brandon was a very personable server and host for our party of 4! Gosh, it is SO cute in there. It's a cozy space that is truly made for a posh afternoon experience with your girlfriends (or guys who also enjoy a luxe pink dining room). The small bites are cute and standard for a tea tower. They really paid attention to all the small details and included so many tiny moments of delight, from the bee-shaped honey container to the different tea sets at each table. I can't wait to go back!

    I went to Dirty Tea to celebrate my friend's birthday. Dirty Tea is beautiful, with great customer service and located in a nice area. They offer street parking and a back parking lot for $10 an hour, but you can park at the church across the street for free. It's a great spot for all ages and perfect for a girls night out!

    Lovely lovely lovely experience, decor, tea options, food and service! Love that it's black owned by a mother & daughter. My mom & I have been here a few times and it is always a wonderful experience. I can't recommend this place enough! I like that they have added a mini tea service if you don't want to pay a hefty price tag and want a shorter service with the same great experience. I would like to suggest to the owners to share the prepaid service and gratuity with your servers! They are the ones who offer the tea service after all! It's not just the kitchen staff. Thank you!!

    If you're looking for an exceptional tea experience, GO HERE! It doesn't matter if you're an experienced lady who lunches, a new Bridgerton fan, or are just learning about tea time...The Dirty Tea is truly a must-have experience! And I'm not exaggerating; my husband told me to call it a "hidden gem" in this review. And it is! We went in for an afternoon tea experience on a Sunday. We were able to easily find parking on the street and get inside quickly. The dining room is just as beautiful as it appears in the pics you see here. Each table has a unique arrangement of tea pots and cups that appear themed to me. The owner was there and engaged us in conversation. She answered all our questions around how the business came to be. The food on our tiered tea tray was excellent. The staff was so friendly and willing to take pics for us on all of the IG-worthy backdrops. If you're on the fence about this one, just do it!

    We had a good experience at Dirty Tea. We were a very large group of 12 people and Dirty Tea was able to accommodate us (on two tables) with a reservation (and a deposit). Process to book was rather seamless. Our party got there on time - they do have valet but most of us found street parking pretty easy! It took some time to get seated but they had a small area to wait (not big enough for our group as many people who were done with their experience were taking pictures there). However we did make use of the space to take some pictures too. Once seated, I was impressed by the attention to detail on every table from the plates to teacups to the table cloth. Each table was unique. I must say with all the things on the table, it felt a bit overcrowded. We ordered our teas - some boozy some not (ask your sever as most teas can be made boozy but pick your liquor appropriately). We didn't get a choice for the snacks but it was definitely plentiful - sandwiches to scones and macarons. They were nice to accommodate a few in our group and get some vegetarian cheese sandwiches too. The teas were great and the munchies were good... The table was crowded with food and tea - that's probably my only gripe (small table for the size of our group) but I had a blast. The server we had messed up our check and it took the over a while to refund us for the incorrect charges. But overall this was a fun high tea experience. Will definitely come back when I feel indulgent again.

    Very cute tea shop! Price of $90 pp was a bit steep in my opinion especially considering they limit you to two tea choices per table- a bit of a hindrance if you have a large party and people like different teas AND were each paying $90 so everyone should be able to choose their own tea flavor. This is a 90 minute experience so I'd advise you to be on time, though we went over time and didn't feel rushed to leave at all. Overall a very nice experience, just pricey.

    This place is so well decorated and the icing on top are the seasonal details. The staff were exceptional and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and the tea options are exceptional, I would recommend not coming there hungry this is a perfect stop in between meals or for a proper tea time.

    I took my daughter to The Dirty Tea Atlanta for her 14th birthday, and it was absolutely magical! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was stunning -- modern, elegant, and full of charm. When I booked the reservation, I mentioned we were flying in from Florida, and the staff truly made the trip worth every penny. The host was an absolute gentleman -- professional, kind, and attentive. He got everything right! Toward the end, I believe the owner stopped by, and she was so sweet and welcoming. You can tell this place is run with genuine love and care. My daughter was in total awe -- she felt like a princess the entire time. Even though I had to switch up my outfit last minute (I cut my foot the night before and needed stitches ), the experience completely made me forget about it. The Dirty Tea Atlanta is Black-owned, beautiful, and such a vibe. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a little girl or any woman who loves the finer things in life. Truly worth the trip!

    10/10 impeccable experience great service easy online reservations very lovely ambiance great selection of teas the tower of accompanying snacks were delicious very lovely

    They say you can cancel within 72 hours but they don't say YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY BACK!

    scammers this place makes you put down a deposit for each person and anyone who doesn't make it that money won't even go to your final bill. they must not have much faith in the experience of their restaurant if they have to operate like this. i lost $155.00 on trying to patronize their business. not worth it!

    Ginger tea served on a platter with sugar and honey on the side.

    What an experience. I sent my girlfriend a post on instagram and we decided to just go by to check out the space. We were immediately greeted by one of the owners and two staff members. The owner allowed us to tour the space and gave us the full story of how they designed the interior from scratch. It's truly a beautiful layout. After talking to the owner we ordered some tea at the bar. The staff were super fast and friendly. They didn't hesitate to walk us through the menu and explain their tea service. There was space at the bar to do some work so we took advantage (WiFi was fast!). The tea came out on platters with sugar cubes and honey on the side. They also bring out a minute glass with each tea to let you know how long the tea has to steep. After it steeped I added a single cube and wow, thoroughly impressed. This place is a gem. I can't wait to bring family to enjoy their Afternoon Tea Tower. If you're looking for great service, a beautiful location and good tea, this is the place to be.
