This is an unique experience and hell of a spread. I was introduced to an array of truly British food items and flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are even an assortment of British hats that one can wear to up their game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our party of 4 were the last guests seated at 1:30 on Sunday. We were nicely greeted and directed to our table. A family of 4 (with two children ages 6 to 9) were finishing up across from us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great place to bring children when they are well behaved and ready for this type of food service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Two members of our party helped guide us through the tea and food offerings. They mentioned that in the past the roast beef sandwichs were delicious. However, not on the offerings we received. There were plenty of items to choose from however. The curry chicken salad and cucumber cream sandwiches were my favorite. The teas were both caffeinated and decaf. Fresh tea is delivered upon request or if the brewed leaves sat too long. The hi tea was finished with a tasty cup of ice cream from a 15th century recipe. It was different and outstanding. Leftovers can be boxed and taken. Sandwiches should be kept cold however for food safety. When we left our party headed over to the sister store to purchase some tea and accessories. read more

This tea experience was lovely! I went with a friend to Dahlonega for the day just to try this high tea experience and it was truly worth the drive and the money. High tea can sometimes get quite expensive, but I really felt like this was worth the money and it was SO delicious. We had chicken salad sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, and cucumber sandwiches and they were all delicious. My favorites were the egg salad and cucumber sandwiches! Our waitress was very kind and attentive. We also got to meet the owner who is lovely! She is from England originally and she really knows what she is doing!!! I was beyond impressed with the quality of food, which the owner told me that they ship some of it in from England! How amazing is that?! The clotted cream and biscuits were a great treat, as well as the macaron and orange cake I had. The tea I had was also delicious and it was a truly relaxing and tasty experience. I would come here again in a heartbeat! read more

Had afternoon tea here a little bit ago and it was great, planning on going back soon. I'm English, so it was nice to have tea done for me instead of me doing the tea all the time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was just 2 of us this time in my party, but it was packed with other tea goers or all ages.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were even hats you could use if you wished.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was more than plenty of food for the 2 of us and it was all delicious. Also, went to the English store they had nearby to grab some biscuits. The service was very attentive and polite. read more

LOCAL REVIEWER This was my second time visiting waffles as a local and I decided to try the Christmas tea. If you've ever had a real tea be patient when visiting here! It's chaotic, slow service and a quirky experience. The owner works alone so you are sitting there waiting while she services every table one by one, then you are rushed to finish because the next seating will arrive and they have to flip tables. The Christmas tea was NOT worth the extra $15 to be served minced pie instead of scones. $35 for the traditional experience was just as mediocre. However, if you've never had an afternoon tea and find yourself in the south it's a 3/5 to do from me! read more

My husband took me here to help celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. He ended up loving it as much as I did, and neither of us could get over the quantity of food we received for a tea. I truly appreciated how the staff went out of their way to make sure my husband's full tea was completely gluten free. We had an appetizer, three sandwiches each, about four different cheeses with various crackers, fruit, and we both got four desserts. It was a lot, and every bit was delicious. My husband usually has to eat after we go to any tea, but this time around he was full. It was fun having the hats and the tea was hot. Our waitress was warm and on the ball. The manager came by to check on us as well. We would absolutely return and highly recommend Waffle's English Tea Room. Thank you so much! read more

So cute! I really enjoyed this place. The tea was amazing and liked all of the food. I've been to a couple different High Teas and this one was my favorite. read more

A delightful little tea room in downtown Dahlonega. I consider myself quite the tea snob and Anglophile. As such, I can tell you with much authority that this is one of the better teas rooms I've been to. Unlike high tea, an afternoon tea is meant to be a light snack, but Waffles leaves you satiated with a large portion of sandwiches, scones, and sweets. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The server was knowledgeable and did a great job trying to educate this group of pros. Two things I will note for improvement, one of our party does not enjoy tea and came along because the menu online states you can buy a cup of coffee. We were told prior to arrival that coffee would be available. However, when we were ordering our different pots of tea, they stated they do not have coffee, even though it is on the printed menu we were holding in our hands, which they provided us. That is, in my opinion, a big faux pas. The second thing I'd like to note is that the tea was not hot enough. At home, I make it with boiling water from an electric kettle. I also warm the tea pot with boiling water prior to adding the water for the tea leaves. The water for this tea cooled in the pot after the second cup. I suggest a tea cozy to keep it warm longer, or a candle pot warmer, but of course, briskly boiling water. Otherwise, it was an adorable little tea room and we had a wonderful time. read more

My husband and I went to the tea room today. We had a reservation and were very excited to be one of the first ones to visit this newly opened establishment. What a beautiful space!! Charming historical house transformed into a cozy restaurant with several small tables and a semi-private room for larger parties. Loved all of the decorations. Definitely feel strong influence from tea rooms which we've been to in England. The owner is the same woman who owns Dahlonega's British shop, Crown & Bear. She was there among the staff helping and making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. Our server, William was fantastic! He described every tea they had, making it easy to select the variety we liked. My husband got Scottish Breakfast tea and I had Lemon tea. Both were delicious. We decided to order the Waffle's tower. It's the biggest one they have with a large variety of sandwiches, pasties (including ones which were shipped from Europe) and fruits, so we got to try most of what they have to offer. Fiona (the owner) stated that they have different selection on every given day. They also have smaller towers, as well as a la carte items. I'm a vegetarian (and I mentioned that when we RSVP'ed), so they made sure to swap some of the chicken and beef sandwiches for more cucumber and egg ones. What a treat this meal was!! We will most definitely return soon and we 100% recommend this place. read more

We had a reservation for this past Sunday at 11am at Waffle's English Tea Room and what an absolutely wonderful experience we all had!
