Drink Me! Tea Room

Amazing place, excellent service, Gluten free and vegan, but even if you aren't GF or Vegan do not be afraid to eat here. Many of the items taste as good if not better than those with dairy or Gluten. I've only been GF for a few years and was shocked at how good these items were. Also I'm not dairy free and could not tell the difference at all.

Starts at $48 a person, requires a $30 per person deposit at time of reservation. We really enjoyed the Pressecco flight for $21, they were full-size pours. Pot of tea for each person, lots of yummy, gluten free and all natural tea cakes and sandwiches.

While we had a nice time and the service was good, the value proposition was overshadowed by the unexpected and, in our opinion, excessive tipping charges. We were particularly taken aback by being charged gratuity on the tea leaves we purchased to take home. A $32 tip for two people, including an additional $7 tip on retail items, felt out of sync with typical tipping expectations, especially given our final bill of $145 after a $60 deposit. I will admit I misread the website and thiught that the vegan gf was optional. It is not. The vegan and gluten-free options was better than expected but I would highly recommend the English Tea Room in Carefee over coming back here. The theme was fun and location lovely. Ultimately, the pricing and tipping policy will likely prevent us from returning.
