My girlfriend and I went there for a posh duo afternoon party - and this place definitely delivered.
The food was really tasty and beautiful. Top marks for that. I thought that the macaroons were a little less than wanting (I would prefer more than just a macaroon for a fancy dessert layout) but that being said -- the earl gray macaroon was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and i would definitely get it on its own another time.
The ambiance was a little lacklusters since we were in a work-conferencey room and so the aesthetics didnt quite match the vibes of the afternoon tea. Also is was a room set apart from the other diners, so we ate with other people that were having an afternoon tea as well. I liked the separation for the privacy and quiet for our party (we were the smallest at 2 people) but the room could use an fresh up.
Kinda expensive though. It was definitely a bougie experience, but it was about $80 per head to have 1 tea (pot) and a 3 tiered snack tray. Also gonna say, after about a 3 hour stay and drinking all the tea pots and only 1-2 little macaroons left from the food pile, I do feel like I got my moneys worth (the time duration and lack of pushing from the staff was a big add to that. But definitely would be a fun dress up thing to do with friends.
Very expensive bakery but worth it. If you like macaroons, come here! Strong flavor, a little chewy with the crunch when you first bite into. Coffee and tea drinks are okay. Not many seats but you can take your pastries/drinks and eat at the Main Street park. I just found out that afternoon tea is being offered at this location 🥳 Can't wait to try it out!
Came here for afternoon tea. Great experience and a good selection. The tray came with a larger selection of desserts than sandwiches. Outdoor seating only.
This particular location is very small. They also do not sell whole cakes.
Chocolates: Expensive. $2.50 a piece. While they're not bad (the flavors are quite good), you can get better chocolate at this price range. They're basically two half spheres stuck together. Pretty to look at but...$2.50??
Macarons: The shells are dryer and harder than what you normally get at other places. It makes for a stronger shell that is visually pleasing (very smooth and less likely to have cracks) but it's a little weird biting into it. Not bad, just different.
Pastries/cakes: I've tried the chocolate pillow, roxanne and vanilla tart with my favorite being the roxanne (very messy to eat!). All the cakes are beautifully made, delicious, and pricey.
In terms of value: cakes > macarons > chocolates
