Tricia TanguySeptember 21, 2014We had a "girls" afternoon here and had an absolutely wonderful time. From the food, to the service, to the decor, it was a beautiful and memorable afternoon! Lavender earl grey latte!!!
Jeff NafzigerApril 23, 2016I had the Cornish pasty and homemade tomato soup. Both were excellent and full of flavor. The soup was thick and a perfect complement to the Pasty. My wife loved the smoky Fifth of November tea
- Riverfront TimesOctober 9, 2014Has a range of in-house baked goods, including everything from rock cakes and their family's recipe for scones to a tried-and-true customer favorite: moist and flavorful blueberry-lemon cake. Read more
- Kara KirchherrAugust 4, 2017Loose leaf tea is high quality with a huge variety of delicious blends (don't be afraid to ask to see the larger tea booklet!). Delicious scones, lemon blueberry cake and earl gray lavender cake!
Jen KingstonSeptember 20, 2012I simply love the London Tea Room. The new table service is fantastic and speeds service up big time. Very helpful and friendly staff and out of this world food. The tea is the best ever too.
Joshua HoJanuary 15, 2018High tea is amazing. From all the different tea blends available and the variety of foods, it’s an amazing spread worth spending an afternoon enjoying.
Mia ArancilloJanuary 18, 2012I'm obsessed w/ their coconut oolong! The Waldorf chicken sandwich is amazing! I make a special trip to get out here while I'm in town from Chicago every time! The owners are very friendly and helpful
Sami AlSeptember 13, 2019Plain croissant and spinach and fetta croissant. Absolutely the different types of teas
MeghanFebruary 9, 2012This is the best tea room I've ever been too! Loved the cream tea and the breakfast sandwich. Casual atmosphere with delicious yet affordable food!
Megan MartinOctober 1, 2014Great place to meet friends for lunch or an afternoon treat. Soup, quiche, and great desserts. And tea of course.
Black currant scones and Devonshire cream are the best treat! My favorite tea is Bedford.- Алена ВинникJanuary 5, 2016The widest range of tea I've ever seen. Beautiful interior, small gift shop and tasty quiches.
ShelleyDecember 28, 2010The teas and pastries are fabulous, but you must get the cream tea -- a softball-sized scone w/Devonshire cream and your own pot of tea. Amazing salads and soups, too.
Mike WestfallFebruary 23, 2014It was nice, quite busy and one sod using a table for four rather than a smaller table. They close at 5 so weekdays are completely out and no provision to leave a tip when using a card.
Best tea EVER.You would not expect it but they have the best coffee EVER too. They serve Metropolis Coffee which is a micro coffee roaster out of Chicago. Get a french press and a traditional engligh Read more
Best tea room in the city...great atmosphere and a nice selection of teas (even some teaware if you're in need of something).
Adam HickeyJuly 28, 2015The quiche is good but if you're looking for food, recommend the Dam down the street.
Ask for the bill when your food is delivered, otherwise you'll be ready to leave and need to track down the server.
Ivan TanJanuary 16, 2011Japanese sencha was disappointing but do try the Silver Needle! Rejuvenating stuff! Scones are amazing too :)
Zach DyerAugust 10, 2011Don't shy away from the food! It's a great place for lunch (just leave room for dessert).
- Joshua LittrellJanuary 8, 2010They have a wonderful Pumpkin Gooey butter bar. And there lemon blueberry cake is ssssooooo good!
Kaitlin JuddFebruary 23, 2013Slowest service ever. The Bacon Butty should not be on the menu. It's stupid. Chicken salad & apple Brie sandwiches are good.
Gardiner AllenOctober 18, 2009They have Lapsang Suchong (sp?), a tasty smoked tea and Winston Churchill's favorite. Drink one for England!
c'mon I'm the mayor. This is one of my fav places in all of st. louie. Read more
Desiree TroyJuly 26, 2012Warning: They have table service now and it's really uncomfortable and awkward. Ruined my experience.
Try the Rock Cakes, sort of a denser, sweeter scone.
