The Tea Leaf

We have been to this Tea Room several time and we also buy our Yorkshire Gold Tea and their scones here because they are so good! My 90 year old Mum is British and we often go out to tea and The Tea Leaf tea has better food and service than the much more expensive afternoon tea we had at The Four Seasons in Boston recently. The food is excellent, with the sandwiches and fillings obviously made fresh to order...the teacakes and petit fours are also fresh and delicious..the Mushroom tart service that day was a favorite. The tea selection is large..we had The Palm Tea and Irish Breakfast this last trip. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is great and the shelves of tea items and miscellanious gifts are great to shop through.

The Tea Leaf is a Gem!
Our third visit to the Tea Leaf, and we enjoyed Afternoon tea on Mother's Day Weekend, with Palm Court tea.
Sally, the owner and operator, takes great pride in personally preparing the tea sandwiches, and her knowledge about each tea and their origin is wonderful!
Both tea and food was fabulous, and we will return again and again.

This past weekend four of us decided to gather for tea - and The Tea Leaf turned out to be the perfect place. We all enjoy freshly brewed tea and sandwiches, and Tea Leaf had a wide variety of both to offer us. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, the place is small but chock full of tea, tea items, and some wonderful clothing pieces. We had scones, sandwiches, tiny quiches, and little desserts - and we couldn't really eat dessert! So Sally, who is a warm and wonderful person, allowed us to take them home. We had a splendid time, we never felt rushed, but we DID need a reservation - there are many fellow tea-lovers in the world! Thanks, Sally, for giving us such a wonderful tea.

I wanted to meet up with an old friend I rarely get to see, and the only time we had mutually available was on Saturday at tea time. I struck on the idea of making an occasion of it by going to a Tea Room and actually having tea. It turned out to be a wonderful experience for all 3 of us. The shop is small but charming. The teas were abundant, beautifully prepared, and one could linger over a pot or two (all unique in themselves), taking your time with conversation and the delicious 3 course tea. Food was perfect, as was every little touch. Sally is a warm and delightful person and it shows in this labor of love.

The Tea Leaf keeps you going back! I've now been to Sally's several times and have enjoyed each and every visit.

As others mentioned, you need to make a reservation, since the shop is small and Sally handles the service herself. It's slower, but you get personalized service...and what kind of savage would want to rush through a lovely tea break anyway? :)

The prices are very reasonable and you can't beat the afternoon tea with friends. If you aren't up for the full deal, my other favorites are the scones (!!), quiches, and desserts.

Half the shop is set aside for shopping and I've found a bunch of treasurer there- including your new favorite tea to take home, of course. Tea Cozies and dishes, clothing, dolls, cups and saucers....Sally offers a little of everything.

I enjoy relaxing a taking my time whenever I visit and hope to be back again soon.

We recently celebrated my granddaughter's 8th birthday at The Tea Leaf and are so glad we chose this special place for her special day. We've been here many times and enjoyed many pots of teas and different food items - everyone of them was delicious. For this particular tea we had the 3-course Afternoon Tea and it was spectacular. Since we are vegetarians, we let Sally know when we made our reservations that our sandwiches would need to be without meat or fish and Sally truly outdid herself with wonderfully tasteful offerings. Everything was fantastic. The birthday girl even got a small cupcake with candle and she was so pleased to receive this special treatment.

We have purchased gifts of teapots, teas, spoons, cups, dolls, bears, and many other wonderful items there. There i... (more)s so much to see and love about The Tea Leaf.

Reservations are really important to make before planning a trip there as Sally, the owner, handles all the preparations and serving by herself - which is why everything tastes so fresh and the attention to detail is so extraordinary.

I can't say enough good things about The Tea Leaf - it is truly a wonderful place to sit down, slow down, relax and enjoy. We will be returning again and again!

If you're looking for a terrific place to have a lovely meal and a great pot of tea, I highly recommend The Tea Leaf.

The decor, retail section is a great place to but tea or a gift items. So much to browse at in this quaint shop. Reservations are needed but I highly recommend the Tea Leaf. Owner Sally greeted us personally and was very attentive.
LOVE the tea sandwiches and sweets and the scones are the best I've ever had at tea! They sell them to take home so I did! I'll visit again as soon as my scones are gone! I highly recommend this little gem!

Being tea lovers, my and I husband have had Low Tea at some of the best Boston and New York hotels. But the Tea Leaf was the nicest find in a long time. The sandwich fillings were so fresh and unique (chicken with pumpkin!). The scones (blueberry and cranberry) were filled with fruit, and the holiday themed sweets were a nice finish. While tere, we purchased some tea gifts for Christmas and a couple for ourselves as well. They have a good selection of teapots and tea accessories at very good prices. They also have this bin of out of date tea at 30% off their regular prices. Sally, the owner actually waited on our table ans was very attentive to be sure that everyone had hot tea and even took time to chat for a few minutes at each tabel!
Reservations are a must since while we were there (on a weekend), business was bustling and we noticed that walk-in's were turned away.

I visited this charming little find recently with friends before a tour at Gore Place. The tea was expertly prepared and the quiche was absolutely scrumpcious. They even give you a choice of fresh sliced apple or chips with their sandwiches! If you do the 'combo', your soup arrives in a teacup (nice touch) we didn't have room for the scones or the gingerbread but we'll surely return for that. The selection of teas in the tea shop is impressive and there is so much to look at. I purchased the nifty tea wallet and will return for more for gifts. I also purchased a wonderful cd of Celtic Harp (coulmusic which was playing as we enjoyed our lunch. (couldn't resist!) In short, I'll be returning to make some holiday purchases for friends and family and will be ordering that gingerbread!

My family and I had a wonderful time at The Tea Leaf. Everything was delicious, and service was excellent. Definately can't wait to visit again.

I just had my sister's baby shower at the Tea Leaf. The owner, Sally was great. It was so easy for me, just show up. The food was wonderful, especially the scones! Everyone had a nice time. It was a perfect location for a shower!
