From the moment we walked through the door I knew this was not your average coffee shop or tea room. We loved the quirky decor and atmosphere but the food and service were excellent too. I was conscious that three or four staff were working in a very "intimate" space but they seemed to get along great. Nothing was a... More

We had tea and cake here on a sunny afternoon. The tea shop is tiny and very popular but we managed to get a table on the pavement outside. The food and service was fine but the only snag is that it is located right where the tour buses pull in to drop off their passengers so your view is... More

I heard reviews and had walked past last time I was in Bath. It was my first stop in Bath today and it did not disappoint. The lady at the counter was so pleasant and quickly brought me my tea on the patio. My lord were those scones moist. And the clotted cream...so buttery and creamy. Must go!

It was time for a break and we'd heard about "creamed tea" as something not to be missed in this part of England. How lucky we were to come across this shop right outside the side of the Abbey. Wonderful warm scones with outrageous cream and preserves and perfect tea, all set up with the Alice in Womderland theme. Definitely... More

Thank you for your comments and that we were able to help you experience a cream tea as it should be, all in our quirky part of Wonderland. Maybe you can try our afternoon tea if you return to Bath. More
