Coffee is ok and pastries are fine but I felt a bit rushed here. The cashier wasn't smiling and wasn't that happy, and I'm not sure if it was because she was having a Bad day or that she could see that I was a tourist that she just didn't seem to want to help me. Coffee was average. I... More

We popped in for lunch and the staff were clearly rushed off their feet but were still very polite, friendly and kept up the service. There are two cafes and this one is the bigger one with some outdoor seating. They're only round the corner from each other. Our waitress brought us a jug of water with a large sprig... More

I tried it out because of the fun name. I found the service to be friendly and efficient. They have a great selection of pastries and cakes, but I stuck with the scones and tea. Perfect place for breakfast and to read a book with a scone and some tea!

Nice selection of pastries, but I think they also prepare light meals too. We just went for the pastries and coffee -- it did not disappoint. Love the name too!

10 out of 10 for a fabulous selection of cakes. I wanted to try them all! Cute interior but a little crowded due to this cafes popularity. Lovely staff.

Stopped into this little shop on Dame Street with a friend for tea and cake. The slice of cake was delicious and the portion was quite generous for the very reasonable price. Staff were friendly and the decor was very cute. We stopped into the other larger venue on Cow's Lane and it was gorgeous as well! Will be visiting... More

Could have eaten here every day - maybe twice! Lovely cakes, scones, pancakes, everything! Friendly service and a bit quirky. Don't miss it.

we hve been there twice, once it was nice, the secod time we ordered the same thing but the part of carrot cake was half size- dissapointed to pay 5 euro for almost nothing. In carrot cake is almost no carrot (little bit like ginger bread), anyway we can recommend the old sponge victorian cake.

The Queen of Tarts tea shop was packed when we stopped for tea late in the afternoon. They sent us to their second location where we found a table. The tea was hot and we had a variety of selections. Almond cake and the scones were also tasty. Tables were packed and close to each other. The decor was charming,... More
