   A wonderful and happy place full of flowers (artificial), colorful wallpaper, and a very delicious menu of foods prepared as one would not typically find. Highly recommended for parties, special celebrations, and just as a fun get-together with friends.

   This restaurant has a great social media person. The reality is very underwhelming. We had the afternoon tea and it was terrible. Dry store bought pastries. The scone was great, but one scone is not worth the price.

   food was amazing and came fast! the ambience was great, a lot of gorgeous decoration to look at. I ordered the ricotta pancakes, my partner had fried french toast. Everything was so pretty i almost didn’t know how to eat it nor did i want to mess it up. The entrance is a bit tight spaced when its busy, but having a reservation makes it easier to be seated. 10/10 recommend! Ps the cocktails are also amazing.

   Came here for their promotion ALICE IN WONDERLAND TEA SET, it was described online as their " whimsical tea experience" well there was nothing whimsical. I had high hopes for this one. The menu presentation was very nice. But nothing on the menu was good except one thing the blueberry scones. That was the only good thing. We were a party of 5 and none of us liked this tea presentation. First of all you only get one tea bag for your entire tea time. They bring you out yes your own tea pot with hot water, but your not told if the tea bag goes in the pot or the cup. They don't bring you any sugar, lemon or honey. The sandwiches are premade and put in the fridge so the bread is already dry and hard from the fridge. We had a bug on one of our tiers, so it was sent back and all they did was move it to another plate and return it and then it had a hair. We did not want to bother anymore since we were not happy with how things were going. Honestly they charged $55 per person so I expected more. Sadly I would not recommend their tea, the food that was being ordered by others tables looked good. But the tea definitely not worth it.

   When I checked in, the person who checked me in was not nice, but after we got to our table the service was excellent. The food was great, and we had a good time. Not fond of the neighborhood the restaurant is located in, and the pictures of the restaurant do not match what it actually looks like.

   Not a great experience. The pastries were not fresh. The tea bags were breaking apart. And the seat is right next to the restroom..

   Very instagram-y restaurant where everyone is taking pictures and videos. The food is amazing!! I had an ube latte which was very very good! Both the pancakes and French toast are amazing! Only complaints are regarding the noise level, when it’s someone’s birthday (which there were 5 in our one hour of dining, not exaggerating the figure) the servers sing and use loud instruments like a tambourine. It’s uncomfortably loud. It’s also quite tight during the weekends as in it’s difficult to maneuver in the restaurant, including taking your seat. I’m a size two and barely could squeeze into my seat.

   sooo good and pretty but my only complaint is the chicken that comes on a couple of the sandwich's, it's like dark thigh meat and on mine and my boyfriends it was rubbery and just a weird texture and we could not eat it, everything else was so perfect they just need to change the chicken they use. staff was very nice and such a pretty restaurant. btw i have no problem with thigh meat i eat it a lot at home this was a lot different and just not good quality

    What a charmingingly beautiful place to have tea or brunch with someone special. Every part of the meal is thoughtfully prepared and the overall ambience is high effort.
