Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea here. The decor is so sweet and charming and the service is attentive. I really enjoyed the selection of teas (we tried several) as well as the food. Everything from the sandwiches to the scones to the sweets were tasty. They weren't the fanciest I've experienced at afternoon tea but they were good! That being said, they advertise it as high tea which is NOT correct. That's an entirely different thing (more of a supper) and is not interchangeable with "afternoon tea." What they have here is afternoon tea and I wish they would advertise it as such. Aside from that pet peeve of mine, using the wrong terminology, it's a nice spot and I would recommend it if you're in the area.
What an incredible experience! We booked a high tea for 12pm, and we brought our infant daughter. They were beyond accommodating and welcoming to us! Excellent service in a cozy inn. You get a perfect 19th century setting, which makes for the perfect ambiance. For the tea, I had green tea and hot cinnamon, and both were excellent! The cinnamon takes the cake for best tea with excellent flavor, especially with the hints or orange. Our food was delectable. The pimento cheese sandwich and crostini were fantastic. The chicken salad stuffed gouger was divine. The scones were the best I've had. Crunchy on the outside, while warm and fluffy in the middle. I could have eaten ten of the cinnamon scones. Excellent cheesecake and cream puff. The star of the show was chocolate mousse on a pecan crust. Just yum!!! Phenomenal service, tea, and food made for a wonderful afternoon high tea!! We will be back.
My brunch experience was incredible in every way! The atmosphere and service was lovely. You start off with beverages and then a fresh fruit cup and pastries. All of the fruit was perfectly ripe and sweet! Our pastries included a lemon blueberry muffin and banana bread - both phenomenal. You then choose between a sweet entree, a savory entree or eggs any style. I chose the sweet which was blueberry lemon waffles with choice of breakfast meat. The fruity flavors were refreshing yet decedent on the fluffy, crisp waffles. I loved every bite! Finally, you end with dessert which was a little lemon square with a fresh strawberry. The perfect end to a perfect brunch! For 3 amazing courses, you cannot beat the price for the luxurious experience. I can't wait to visit again for brunch or try the high tea.
We visited The Inn on Negley for Cookies and Cocoa around Valentine's Day and had a great time. The dining room is so cute and cozy -- it really takes you back in time. I don't know what I was picturing a bed and breakfast to be like, but this is definitely it. All of the staff was helpful and kind. We even got to pet a doodle dog, which is obviously a plus! Now for the food -- the cookies themselves were excellent. The reservation gets you three cookies, a dish of fresh whipped cream, fresh marshmallows, and a pot of cocoa poured over a chocolate lattice in your mug. Everything tasted amazing. I'd never had fresh marshmallows before, but it will be hard to go back to store bought! Overall 100% recommend. Can't wait to try high tea here as well.
We had mixed messages ... Kentucky Derby/Ascot hats yes or no. We went with Yes (Amazon: Kentucky derby hat). Mimosas on the back patio that was thankfully under cover from the sun. We went inside for tea education. Tables of 6 were comfortable. We started with our tea. The tea drinkers were impressed with the loose tea and strainers. We were confused with the honey straws until we saw the embroidery scissors. The pea pesto on toast was my favorite. The cucumbers were sliced very thin and flavorful. The chicken salad was just right. The orange and mango/ginger scones were delightful with/out preserves and clotted cream. The bottom tier had the cheesecake with apricots, brownies. & raspberry pavlova. Beautiful architecture. Host and wait staff very attentive. L'Occtaine Verbena soap (my favorite) was in the bathroom. Already discussed planning an event in the future here. Reservations ASAP.
The ambiance was very peaceful and conducive to conversation. Beautifully decorated rooms, but the flatware, dishes, and tea pots were lacking quality. Food, while presented very well, missed on flavor and complexity. The server was very sweet and helpful. She changed out my flasa immediately when I showed her it was dirty. My plate had old egg on it too. I was showing a friend what a High Tea was because I love them and find one whenever I travel. This facility should stick to being an Inn as it was a poor tea experience.
Yep. Best hot cocoa in the Burgh. My husband and I agree it was the best hot cocoa we've ever had. We went for high tea with our boys and they ordered that but we tried it. The teas were great and they accommodated my Vegan husband fully. The place was fancy but not pretentious. It was expensive so it was a nice treat. Not something we could do often but it was a lovely event.
I've been hesitant to get on planes due to COVID so we've been looking into bed and breakfasts within driving distance...this place came up on the list and I am so glad it did. It's easy to miss while going down the street but it is absolutely charming: our room was like being in a history book. The bed and sheets were quite luxurious...you will get a great night's sleep. If you're on the top floor, there are a lot of stairs...not a big deal but I was huffing and puffing while pregnant. If you love tea, then check this place out. They have an amazing selection (the hot apple spice is sweet and cozy even without adding honey or sugar) and their tea time is great. You don't need to stay at this establishment to enjoy their high tea but if you do, you can also do tea privately in your room which I love. There are lots of little add ons to your experience (a bit overpriced but worth it for the experience... especially if you're there with someone else) and the staff and chef really try to be accommodating (for example of you're not drinking, or if you prefer a certain kind of wine). It was a little rainy when we went so we couldn't enjoy breakfast outside but the indoor space was lovely. I do wish there was more variety (especially in non egg options) with the breakfast but that's a nit picky sort of complaint. Each guest can have a parking spot in the back...very convenient.
The Inn on Negley is absolutely amazing. Our stay was so magical, we already made plans to come back at a later time for no reason. We initially found ourselves staying here the weekend of the Taylor Swift concert. We were excited about being in Shadyside away from most of the TS traffic, and our choice turned out to be excellent. The Inn also has a small parking lot with enough dedicated spots for its guests, so you never have to worry about parking. The rooms here are absolutely stunning. They are decorated with class and care and every room has its own personality. The accessible room on the first floor, the Braeburn Suite, is spacious and stunning with its old world touches but homey modern feel. The moment we checked in, we were blown away! It was romantic and lovely. The bed was truly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in while traveling and had the most beautiful four-post frame. You truly can't go wrong with any of the rooms here. We peeked in a few others and each has its own character and panache. We didn't make it to high tea because we were tight on our schedule, but we did deeply enjoy the chef's breakfast daily for the weekend. The food was made with love, presented thoughtfully and made us giddily excited for breakfast daily. We chose to eat on the patio daily and felt like we were transported to some quiet, green oasis that surely could not have been Pittsburgh. Top to bottom, staying at the Inn on Negley is an experience worth having. It's also walking distance to several Shadyside attractions. We could not have asked for a more comfortable, inviting, and beautiful stay here. The innkeeper and all the staff members were engaging, kind, and helped with anything we needed. Our new favorite place!
High end. Historical. Elegant. My mother in law & I went here to celebrate my birthday. Everyone there was very kind and checked in on us. There are multiple rooms you can have tea in and you can even stay the night. They serve a 3 tiered plate with savory and sweet options. A few of my favorites: tea: vanilla Creme black tea Savory: egg salad on crostini Sweet: vanilla scone OR chocolate ganache macaroon The reason I'm not giving it 5/5 is because the house was extremely hot. Both my mom and I were quite hot while drinking hot tea. All in all I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a more unique way to stay in Pittsburgh.
I visited the Inn on Negley in June. We had to book 2 months in advance to get a Saturday reservation. When you're booking you can notify of allergies. There was a small upcharge for gluten free food. The waitstaff were attentive and knowledgeable of tea selections. The GF goods are baked in house. I appreciate that they were similar flavor profiles of the non-GF food. The passion fruit scone was interesting. The brownie was my favorite - think GF cosmic brownie! I'd like to go back to hopefully sit on the patio. It was too hot the day I went, but the patio looks lovely!
This two reviews rolled into one. First, we attended a very nice baby shower in the fall. The service, food, and selection were on par with what I have experienced at other high teas. You can see the fall decorations in one photo. 4/5 stars As the shower was winding down, the hostess let us know that the Inn also offers brunch from 9am-1pm every day of the week. Well, I knew what I was getting my partner for Christmas this year. We can't usually brunch, since local restaurants typically seat on Sundays and that's a workday for them, so it felt luxuriant to dress up and go out on a Monday morning. We arrived with big appetites at 9am, just as breakfast was wrapping up for the B&B's overnight guests. This meant that we essentially had the room to ourselves. Everything was beautifully decorated, with an entire Dickens Village under the side board. We started with fruit cups, mini pastries, cranberry juice, and individually steeped teas. DH chose the sweet entrée, which was chunky French toast, while I opted for the savory, some of the best-seasoned eggs and potatoes I have ever tasted. (You can add a breakfast meat for extra, but I'm glad I didn't.) So full that I couldn't even touch the toast that came with it, we asked them to box up our eggnog cheese cake desserts to go. (A seating is 2 hours long; we were ready to go after 1.5 hours.) It was really lovely to have this time together to catch up with each other, and the price was a steal for the experience. We would love to come back in warm weather to be able to sit on the back deck. 6/5 stars
This place is amazing! Spent the weekend and couldn't ask for a more beautiful place! Room was gorgeous! Bed was so comfortable and pillows were heaven! Carol was the sweetest hostess and breakfast each morning was on point! Hope to visit again when the weather is warmer. Just a quick walk from many cute shops and restaurants on Walnut St.

My mom and I made a reservation for high tea at The Inn on Negley. We were there on a Thursday morning (11 am) and we had the place to ourselves. Neither of us had done a high tea before so our host, John, walked us through the experience which was nice. The tea and snacks were delicious and very seasonal. I would definitely come back for another high tea! read more

I want to start by saying this is a beautiful space, such an elegant atmosphere, beautiful paintings and decor. The food tasted very nice, but you get one sliver of quiche, one quarter of a cream cheese dill sandwich on white bread, one silver dollar size chicken salad sandwich, 2 scones, and 2 tiny squares of cake (maybe 1 inch by one inch) and a silver dollar size pavlova, with numerous bagged tea options with fairly inattentive service for $65 a person after tax and tip. Gorgeous space but would not recommend at all for the price, service, and for this price you would also expect more luxury small bites, such as salmon. Went with great company, but will need to find a different local spot for our next occasion. read more

I am obsessed with the ambience of this small, cute, bed & breakfast. As soon as you walked in, you could see the charm and the character it had. I came with two friends for brunch. Initially we were seated inside, but we asked to be moved outside, and it was such a good decision. We were surrounded by the greenery that was growing around this patio and it did not feel like we were in Pittsburgh. The food was amazing. They started us off with a fruit cup, zucchini banana bread, and these small muffins. The bread and muffins came out of the kitchen still warm, were served with butter, and the combination was literally insane. We chose teas from a long menu-- I had the waiter's recommendation, which was the hot apple spice. It tasted like fall in a cup and the apple flavor was like a warm hug. For our main course, we were given one sweet option and one savory option. The savory option was a frittata and the sweet option was lemon poppyseed waffles. I had the waffles, but my friends wanted both so they accommodated them by giving them half frittata and half waffles which was just super cool of them. MY WAFFLES WERE AMAZING. Like, crunchy on the outside, airy on the inside, and had the right amount of lemon flavor. On the side, I also had eggs, ham, and a bagel for kicks. The only reason why I docked a star is because I felt they were not very transparent about the price of the food. I knew coming into it that it was one number, but I incorrectly assumed that that number included all of the food. The eggs were extra, and if I'm remembering correctly I think the bagel was also extra. If you're worried about this, just make sure you ask. Overall though, I'm super excited to hopefully come back and experience their tea time! read more
We went here for the holiday tea and LOVED it! They had so many different types of tea, including seasonal flavors, and we were able to try more than one. Our favorites were the White Christmas and the warm apple. The sandwiches, scones, and desserts were also delicious. We had a private room for our group of six. A great way to kick off the holiday season! We will definitely try to go back next year. read more
I visited the Inn at Negley for Holiday Tea and it was charming. The Inn itself is lovely - a restored period home in a charming neighborhood in Shadyside. It's a great area to walk and explore and just enjoy a great community. But the Inn during the holiday season is next level - beautifully decorated and even cozier than usual. Its like something out of a movie. As for the tea itself, you start by selecting your tea. There are a LOT to choose from. And the best part? You can try as many as you like! And if tea isn't your thing you can do an extra special hot chocolate. The tower of tea snacks delivered includes: savory finger sandwiches, scones and cookies. I was particularly a fan of the savory sandwiches (the egg salad in particular) and the fruit cake scone. If you're looking for a new holiday memory location. Consider Negley Inn. Be sure to make a reservation to secure your spot! read more

I my whole experience here was lovely from start to finish. We found parking right next to the Inn, were greeted immediately upon entering, and had our table waiting for us. Our server was very knowledgeable about not just their offered teas but other teas as well. The food and teas were all delicious, and I appreciated the air conditioning inside, especially since we came a few days after graduation on a pretty hot day. read more
This is a super cute inn! I attended a baby shower here, and they had a nice little room for about 15 people. The staff was nice. I had some kind of apple cider tea, which was delicious. I forgot to get a picture of the pastry tower, but the pastries were great as well (especially the scones!). The food wasn't bad either (although it didn't blow me away). Overall, this was a great place to have a small event and I had a good experience. read more

Overall: The place has a charm to it. The outdoor garden patio area is so cute. Would recommend this spot more for brunch than afternoon tea. Reservations are recommended! Food: [Brunch] Small menu but everything we ordered was quite good. Skip the popular brunch spots and the crowds and head over here for a change. Good value for the money. But I did make reservations in advance. The place is small so reservations made in advance is recommended. 7/10 [Afternoon Tea] The sandwiches was good. The desserts were tooo sweet for my liking. Decent selection of teas. 6/10 Parking: There is some parking space in the back. Street parking is available as well. read more
This place is an absolute gem. Even though it's on a busy drive, it's easy to miss as it's a B&B, but my Mom has really wanted to go here for the tea service and breakfast. They offer a few seatings throughout the day, and getting a booking spot took a few weeks. The j side of the house itself is worth a visit as the staff clearly takes pride in how they decorate and keep the location up. I'm not a tea person, but they have a large selection, many of them are loose-leaf, and they serve some very tasty honey with whatever you choose. They also have a large selection of teas for purchase on display. They started us by bringing out some muffins and breads that were delicious. They had one bread that had pumpkin seeds and berries and they were delicious My wife ordered waffles and she said it was delicious. They bring it out presented nicely, and they also offer a decent side of breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, turkey bacon, and ham). The rest of the table ordered their special which was baked eggs. They were somewhere between a soft-cooked egg and an egg over easy. It came with tomatoes and brussel sprouts. I'm not a huge fan of brussel sprouts, but they went well with the eggs and gave a unique taste to the eggs. It also came with some breakfast potatoes and when I wasn't sure ok if I wanted sausage or bacon, the server said she'd bring me both. They were both very tasty. At the end, they brought out chocolate brownies which were small, but they were so rich that I feel as though most people wouldn't want more than a few bites. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They were all warm, welcoming, and more than happy to answer questions about the house. They also decorated nicely for Halloween and we're all looking forward to going back in December to see the hat they decide to do for Christmas. read more

Amazing!! We came here for high tea time and it was everything I expected and more!! The food was amazingly delicious and so filling. Trying all of the different teas really made me happy. Our server was very attentive to us and so much fun. She helped us with trying new things and explaining what they were going to taste like. The bed and breakfast was adorable and I loved this experience. I will definitely be back! It takes a while to get in for the high tea time with a marketer group. But be patient and know that it's worth the wait! read more
My friends and I made a reservation to have high tea together on a Saturday afternoon. When making the reservation, we found that they were very flexible with time slots and accommodated us even though there was a wedding schedule there that afternoon. You are able to choose an unlimited amount of tea - I had the vanilla creme and the Darjeeling. Both delicious! Then, they served you with tiered plates of sandwiches, scones, and desserts. We were so obsessed with the sandwiches, that we asked for another plate! They were very happy to make us more, with an additional cost of $25. Worth it!!! Our waitresses seemed nice, but seemed timid or shy about serving us. A woman, who appeared to be a manager or the owner, also checked on us multiple times and was very nice! This is a great little spot for an afternoon with friends! read more
Second review: We mad sure to come back to visit again and were not disappointed! Everything was AMAZING and they even let us tour the adorable rooms too. Staff is top notch and so is the chef!! recently came here on a Sunday afternoon with my mom to celebrate her birthday! This place is adorable and so relaxing! We had such a nice time tasting a variety of teas and eating delicious food. We chose the lunch option which is $35 a person. It is a little steep but I can say was worth the experience. You can taste unlimited tea and get 3 tiers of food. They have a huge selection of tea to try, but my favorite was definitely the vanilla creme. Every bite of food I had I enjoyed and so did my mother. We were so stuffed by the end but we made sure to finish everything. The lemon scones were to die for and so was the jam! Service was fantastic and all of the staff was very friendly. I would definitely come back here again for a special occasion. read more

What a beautiful experience for high tea! Went with a group of women and had excellent service. Staff was great and food was delicious! I was surprised by how full I was at the end of tea time. Spent about 2 hours there in total. We had our own private room since we were a party of 6. We got to order as many different types of teas as we wanted. The tray of food features 1 piece per person on each tier. So in total I had 8 different sandwiches/scones/pastries to try. All of them were so delicious! The crème and jelly for the scones were heavenly I suggest layering both on your scone for the ultimate experience. It was fun to try new teas that I normally wouldn't buy. We also had 2 small children with us and the staff was excellent with them offering them there own special treat and drinks. Highly recommend this experience! read more
What an experience! I loved my first high tea at this spot. As soon as I walked in with my friend, the place felt literally warm. The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting. We were treated to snacks and tea soon as we sat down. I got the white grapefruit tea and it felt subtle yet refreshing. I was told that it is one of their favorite teas. My friend got the oolong tea and she liked it albeit a strong aftertaste. We tried the mini sandwiches first. One of them was with spinach and hummus and was pretty good. The other two flavors were better than the first one. Speaking of the mini scones, they melted in the mouth! Upon my friend's suggestion, I ate the scone with crème fraiche and I just loved it. We then got a second pot of tea. Mine was herbal vervain and my friend got spiced cinnamon. The vervain had a very subtle flavor, nevertheless, I enjoyed it. This time around I tasted what my friend ordered as well. Her tea was spicy and very sweet at the same time. The fruit tart along with the chocolate cake were good. Overall, we liked everything and would highly recommend to try out this spot for tea. The only downside is that this experience is on the pricey side even if you consider all the tea/snack ingredients to be of high quality. read more

Had a lovely Saturday afternoon high tea date with my daughter. When we travel to the U.K. and Ireland, etc we love having afternoon tea. The Inn certainly lived up to our high expectations. Yet another little Pittsburgh gem not to be taken for granted. The tea selection is immense but not overwhelming. The tea sandwiches, scones and desserts are simply delicious. Refined, refreshing and elegant without being pretentious. Beautiful Victorian home with rooms decorated to reflect the authenticity of a time gone by. The guest rooms are spacious, very pretty and immaculate. Teddy Bears adorn the rooms and hallways without being overdone. Truly a must-see, must-do experience. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is amazing! We just happened to pass by since we live in the area and decided to book a one night "staycation" over the weekend. The inn offers special packages, so we booked an "Inn"timite night for two. First, the atmosphere. This place is so cozy. They have a porch outside with rocking chairs, and a tidy, warm dining room and sitting area for afternoon tea. They also have an outside patio with more rocking chairs and tables/seats. Our room itself (the Northern Spy suite) was very large, with a sitting area and a separate bedroom + bathroom. Everything was very clean and tastefully furnished. We received a package with various sanitary supplies given the current pandemic (face masks, hand sanitizer, gloves) upon arrival and everyone in the inn took the upmost precautions (everyone wore face masks, reminders everywhere about social distancing, tables set 6 feet apart, etc.). As a medical student, I was happy to see such detail taken to protect customers and employees. Second, the service was amazing. When I booked the inn over the phone, a very nice man named Nick helped me with the reservation. He made sure to get someone to call me back when he didn't know an answer to a question, and he was very patient when I had questions about the packages/which room to pick/etc. When we arrived, a very nice woman greeted us and showed us around and up to our rooms. She later arrived right on time to deliver wine and cheese as well as dessert later in the evening when we had scheduled them. The next day during our afternoon tea, another woman ushered us into the tea area and our waiter was very attentive. As for everything else--it was impeccable. They gave us a whole bottle of red wine as part of our package deal, and the cheese and charcuterie plate were delicious. The hot chocolate and cookies as well as the chocolate lava cake (so rich!) were also amazing. The afternoon tea service, which may other people have written about here, was an experience in itself. I honestly just want to replay our whole stay again because it was so great. I highly recommend booking a stay here for a "staycation" or just going for afternoon tea. 5+ stars for sure! read more
