• Afternoon Tea • West Philadelphia
Booked 12 times today
Whether you come cute with your girls, make it a date with your mate, visit as a mommy-daughter duo or take time just for you, Akwaaba Tea Salon & Event Space offers 90 minutes of pure indulgence in a sophisticated sanctuary. Here’s where you can take a breath while you take a sip of fine, loose-leaf teas and experience a cultural spin on traditional English High Tea fare. Think deviled eggs with a chunk of Southern-fried chicken instead of egg salad finger sandwiches. And homemade peach cobbler and banana pudding upstage macaroons every time! Oh, and did we mention the live jazz music at our 1 pm Sunday seating?!Akwaaba Tea Salon and Event Space is the latest hospitality experience from Monique Greenwood, the former Essence magazine editor-in-chief who took the lodging industry by storm with the 1995 launch of her award-winning Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns, one of which is in Philadelphia, right down the street from the new tea salon and event space.

    If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Everything about our experience at Akwaaba was beyond perfect. We were immediately greeted by Joe, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun for the entirety of our service. The tea selection is wonderful and there’s definitely something for everyone. The food was absolutely outstanding!! I cannot speak highly enough about how delicious everything was. You can tell the level of thought, detail, and love that goes into every bite. I enjoyed myself immensely and would go again in a heartbeat!

    Had a lovely dinner with the family while staying the night. The atmosphere was great, the service was attentive, and the food was delicious. We tried the pork belly and seabass, both were fantastic! The place has a fresh, modern vibe and feels lively.
