Map of A Corner of England Tea Room
Overview
After five wonderful years in our downtown location we are pleased to imform you that A Corner of England has re-located to a new location on Central Avenue. Central we certainly are, 10 minutes from everywhere, downtown, the beaches, Treasure Island,and Tyrone Mall. Our new location now is the home of our delightful traditional tea room, inviting and very up market. The decor is quiet Victorian, and the atmosphere is serene. Our high tea is second to none, and our lunch menu is growing all the time. Cornish Pastys, ploughman's lunch, Poachers plate,etc. Our new chef is a wonderful baker, our scones, eccles cakes and cakes are outstanding. Along with the Tea room, we have our new gift shop "Festive Occasions" and stationary store, a wonderful venue to find Invitations for all occasions, corporate, and personal printing of every kind. We sell all manner of British items, fine China,toiletries, linens, and British foods, but our glory comes from our tea line, imported directly from a Tea garden of Assam and Darjeeling in India, so my loose tea is the freshest possible, none more than two seasons old.See the website for more info www.acornerofengland.com Come in for a real British Welcome.

Food:  Very poor management. Only one person to seat, take order, prepare food and cash you out. To be fair, we WERE told ahead of time the chef didn't show up for work that day and there would be a wait. Waited an hour for our food. Scone and sausage roll were good, sandwiches mediocre. Tea (spring pekoe) was good. While we were waiting a lady came in to make purchase from the gift shop during her lunch hour. She spent quite a while picking out items only to be told that he didn't have time to take her money so she left with nothing! Later after my friend and I left we saw the company's SUV going down the road with 2 people inside chatting away! I wonder why they weren't back at their establishment serving us customers! People expect service when they pay $24.95 for High Tea! The reason I wrote ... (more) |

Food: Terrible tea: overly bitter and looked to be stale. The service was just awful the attendants were fake and obnoxious. The food had to attention payed to it and tasted like microwaved walmart. Just terrible all around. I'd rather have lipton in a dixie cup. |

Food: visited this recently and it's what some foreigners (not just americans) would imagine to be typically british! We don't drink out of china cups very often now and don't always have lacey table cloths, maybe in upmarket London or other areas!! Great to see such a selection of british chocolates and other goodies, but MY GOODNESS, what a cost!! Heinz salad cream at $10.99 a bottle, it's only £1.50, that's approx $3, even allowing for import costs seems very extreme as did most of their prices to be honest! |

Food: Over the past 3 years I have tried this tearoom 4 times. I recently gave it another try at the request of a friend.In the past tea leaves have been left in the teapot, the food was frozen microwaved from Sam's Club at best and the service and ambiance that you would expect from a tea room is lacking.Unfortunately this visit was much the same. The atmosphere was anything but calming and the tea still bitter. I have experienced tea rooms throughout the SE U.S and I wish I could recommend this one but---5 strikes and you are out! |

Food: My mother and I tried this tearoom on a whim after antique shopping (for teacups of course!). I found it a very sweet shop that oozed relaxed British pleasantness. The tea selection was excellent and they all were tasty fine loose-leaf teas and brewed perfectly. The surprise display of Princess Diana’s beautiful red gown was an added delight. This shop is a traditional English Tearoom and some that are accustomed to the glitzy Americanized version of a tearoom may find it dull; we on the other hand were enchanted and felt like we were visiting Great Briton. Every tearoom I have experienced (about 25) has a different flavor and this one ranks in my top five. |
