Val's English Tea & Pie Shop

Such an incredible experience! My husband and I had a truly lovely time at Val’s English Tea. As someone who is gluten-free, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but we were absolutely blown away by the variety and quality of the offerings. The gluten-free selections were phenomenal, from the beautifully prepared sandwiches and scones to the pumpkin bread, cookies, and more. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and made with care. The tea options were equally impressive, and we loved learning about the history behind the establishment and the tradition of English tea itself. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and delightfully authentic. The owners, a husband and wife team were incredibly kind and attentive. The attention to detail, both in the decor and in the curated offerings (including imported jams and other English delicacies), made the entire visit feel special. We felt so well taken care of and can’t wait to return. I’d absolutely recommend this gem to anyone looking for a heartfelt, delicious, and memorable experience.

A couple of friends and I went to Val’s for afternoon tea when I came to visit from Upstate Ny. I had been to a high tea in Bermuda and have been searching ever since to have that experience again closer to home. Since having that experience a couple of years ago I found out I am gluten intolerant from Hashimoto’s Disease, so I knew that would make it harder…. Especially since gluten free option usually aren’t that great, or there are limited options available. Well, Val exceeded my expectations of a full gluten free afternoon tea that was absolutely exquisite. I emphasize the “full” part because there wasn’t not a single item I was left out of… and everything was absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for a lovely time Val! I can not wait to come back!
