AFTERNOON TEA

Afternoon tea—often mistakenly called "high tea" (learn the difference here!)—is a formal, sit-down experience rooted in tradition.


At The Royal Tea Room, guests enjoy a thoughtfully curated 4- or 5-course menu accompanied by their choice of tea. The service is presented on a classic three-tiered tray during a 90-minute seating and includes a selection of salad and/or soup, delicate tea savories (finger sandwiches), a freshly baked scone with jam and cream, and an assortment of tea treats.


Afternoon tea is more than a meal—it’s a moment to pause, connect, and savor the company of others. In our often hectic world, this timeless ritual invites you to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of conversation, tradition, and hospitality.


At The Royal Tea Room, we take pride in our commitment to excellence—through attentive service, high-quality offerings, and a deep respect for the customs of English afternoon tea. Every dish is made in-house, including specialty breads like Chef Kristen’s artisan and focaccia loaves.

We look forward to welcoming you to the tearoom for an unforgettable experience.
