                          Authentic English Afternoon Tea steps away from the Freedom Trail. Outstanding selection of teas and tasty treats. All gluten free too which was a particularly exciting extra. Our multigenerational group had a fabulous time, appropriately capping off a Christmas treat to see the The Nutcracker

                          We had a lovely time celebrating a tween birthday. The staff were able to make recommendations for teas more friendly to younger palates, and the food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the parsnip soup! We couldn't tell the food was without gluten - it all tasted great. Definitely a great choice for a special occasion out!

                          This was a lovely experience. It was a birthday celebration for my daughter in law who is gluten free. The entire menu is gluten free so it was perfect for her. The food was all lovely as was the tea and drinks. I’d highly recommend and we’ll go back.

                          Nice little tea room but they need to up their game with the food. It has great potential.
