Terecille Basa-OngJanuary 7, 2016Service is slow w/ only 1 server & 1 hostess. Oreo Chocolate Chip scone was AMAZING. New England Clam Chowder w/ rosemary bread is SO GOOD!!Upvote1Downvote
Christine WeiJuly 13, 2011Come here for brunch and order the bread pudding french toast with berries. Best breakfast I've had in a while. Selection of teas is extensive and impressed this tea snob. Read moreUpvote1Downvote

Bryant BalatbatNovember 8, 2016If you're a tea noob, can't go wrong with Alice's Tea. Make sure to try all the scones with preserves and clotted cream. Just do it.Upvote1Downvote
Amy RobertsonMarch 21, 2016Very small so call ahead of you are coming after 10am on weekends (or plan on grabbing a cup of coffee nearby while you wait)Upvote1Downvote
ZenFoodsterSeptember 1, 2017My call has been transferred to this location 12+ times...phone just kept ringing & ringing w/ no answer. Now I'll never know if I'll get in & will need to find alternative place to go to!UpvoteDownvote
Sigalle BarnessMarch 11, 2013Chicken hash is super yummy! Also - get the pumpkin scone with creme and jam and a detox tea - so good.Upvote1Downvote
Kate TomkieMay 10, 2014Get the French toast. Scones are fluffy and awesome, too. And if you like floral tea, you have to try the house tea blend.Upvote1Downvote
Kate KennedyNovember 28, 2015Get the chicken sandwich... The buttermilk scones are to die for!!! And one rule: always ask for extra cream and preserves!UpvoteDownvote
Carly HeitlingerFebruary 2, 2015A spot for reasonably priced tea! Share a pot and two scones with a friend for a little snack.Upvote1Downvote

Mary P.August 31, 2013Not a big tea person but the wedding chai was delish and so were the curry chicken sandwiches. Definitely good if you want to nibble on a little bit of everythingUpvoteDownvote
Rachel FeldmanAugust 9, 2010A real treat place! Their teas, 25+ types, are brewed to perfection. And they have dozens to choose from. It's girly in decor, but that keeps very few guys away, as the food is terrific.UpvoteDownvote

Carmen NJuly 9, 2017It's cute. Get a pot of tea and scones but skip the sandwiches and the cakes.UpvoteDownvote

Karyn ChinDecember 9, 2014Service was horrible, food was ok. Pumpkin scone was more like a soft biscuit. French toast tasted like I was eating sugar toast. Cute concept, not great execution.UpvoteDownvote
Wait on the weekends but totally worth it. Alice's makes the best pumpkin pancakes I have ever had.UpvoteDownvote
