Reviews for The London Tea Room in St. Louis, MO
Loved visiting the London Tea Room at their new location! Menu has an extensive tea list plus a variety of sweet and savory... dishes. Guests can order one type of tea with their meal and choose another tea to take home. Servers Seth and Thomas weregreat, will definitely be coming back! Read more
I had high hopes for tea and sandwiches today. Except for the tea, everything was a letdown. My wife enjoyed her tea and... dessert, but our party of 5 agreed to a 'no' on coming back. I guess many days you can't just buy tea, it's 30 to $40 for teaand sandwiches, and then add-ons from there. If things were good, that would be fine, but the mistakes coming out from thekitchen aside (which were all fixed, our waiter was on top of things), I liked 1 out of 5 of my sandwiches (and I'm not picky),my scone basically exploded when I tried to break a piece off because it was so hard. The waiter gave me a second, but it wasfrom the same batch so also disappointing. Lack of flavor everywhere. They just moved to this location, so hopefully they'll getinto a groove. If it was tea and dessert where I could actually choose how much I wanted, it probably would have another star. Read more
I had enjoyed the Tea Room once before, but it was pre-COVID and the tables were packed uncomfortably close, even then. I was so... pleased to see there's been room added for social distancing--and for a Sunday, they were quite slow, for which I wasthankful. I had a ricotta and spinach croissant and a Chai masala. The milk steamer was broken, apparently, but I just had apot of Chai and some cream on the side--no harm done. I love the interior of the Tea Room, with all its gifts and teas andsnacks and decor. The other guests also seemed to be enjoying themselves. I sat on the far side of the room, where I was ableto charge my phone at an outlet under my table. I liked that they had a big container of ice water for anyone to use. I do wishthey'd provide regular silverware instead of plastic, though. Less waste, and it feels more sophisticated, too.

This is a quaint and relaxing venue with very friendly wait staff. The linens are crisp and white, the tea is nice and hot and... the scones are fabulous. You can pop in for a tea and fresh scone or you can reserve a full tea service online. I elected forthe tea service and I was not disappointed. You get to try two different teas, so two pots! You also can take your left overs togo, including a cup of tea. I highly recommend this tea room. It's lovely and a great place to enjoy some tea and just relax! Read more
My friend and I go here ALL the time for afternoon tea and we love it! Never disappoints us and the tea selection always rotates... so we are able to try new teas every time we go! I recommend booking at least a month in advance because they have limitedafternoon tea spots available, but if you aren’t able to book an afternoon tea, they also have a cafe which serves Britishstaples (and where you can get pots of tea to enjoy as well). After we have our tea, we always make it over to the tea retailarea and buy our favorites to last us until next time we come! So all in all, a great place to come, relax, and drink tea andhave brunch! Read more
Great high tea experience, you have to make reservations which is standard for an English high tea experience. Good scones,... savory sandwiches and tasty dessert. Great mix of teas, I'd recommend the chai as it was my favorite. Ask for cream for the teasand it elevates the experience even more. Great server who took care of us, she was very knowledgeable and attentive. Read more
The place is pretty cute and a good vibe. They have quite a variety of tea, served in a pot for 1 or 2. Can also to go. The food... is pretty much English cuisine, with scones and quiches. I had the jasmine green tea which not only tasted good and also I couldsmell the jasmine as I was sipping it. The tea did the job very well for me. Read more
I went several times to the last place they were located but I absolutely love this place at the new one. You can also get your... whole tea experience with food all vegan! My friends & I had a wonderful, fancy little tea party there recently. I highlyrecommend. The staff was also so nice, accommodating, patient, and will gladly take pictures of your group for you. Be carefulwith parking though. Be sure you have fully paid on the app before you walk inside. Cops watch this area heavily and willticket. Read more
