    Great place! The food and tea was excellent! The menu warns that the service can be slow due to short staffing and things made fresh and that made me immediately worried it was going to take forever but our server was very good and we didn’t wait too long for things for food to come out.

    Our experience was truly remarkable from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who ensured that we felt welcomed and well cared for. The food & Tea exceeded all expectations; every dish was a delightful expression of flavor and presentation. We had a reservation for 11:00 AM, and to our surprise, our fresh salads arrived at the table just five minutes later, beautifully arranged and bursting with color. The atmosphere was equally enchanting, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of enjoying the high tea experience at Lily & Elise’s Tea House, and it was absolutely delightful! The selection of finger sandwiches was perfectly curated—each bite of the egg salad, caprese, and tomato sandwiches was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The tea selection was equally impressive. I savored the Gentle Mint, Key West, and Blue Oolong teas, each offering its own unique and soothing flavor profile. The staff was warm and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect from start to finish. The ambiance was charming and elegant, making it the ideal spot to unwind and indulge in a truly refined tea experience. I can’t wait to return!
