Angel Tea Room

I have been going to this tea shop since I was a child. I love it. The food is great and the baked goods are to die for. They also have a very extensive selection of teas and the specials change daily. The autumn teas are my favorite. Yes, their interior décor might need a facelift, but that is just part of the charm of Angel’s.

Honestly, I felt like I was crashing someones wedding when I walked in this place. Just flowers, lace, and harp music playing everywhere. Definitely a girly spot
It’s like an over sweetness actually, and it’s very hard for me to imagine a straight American male liking this place. If you’re into syrupy sweet on steroids, this is definitely for you.
The food.
I enjoyed my lunch – ordered ½ egg curry sandwich, along with a comforting bowl of creamy potato asparagus soup. The portions are small, however, I am wanting to re train myself on correct portion sizes so this was perfect for me.. .
and it’s a tea room, so the expectation for me is not mass quantities of food.
Service was very cute and the vibe was really small town to me. Inside the store one can find various teas and accessories, books, gifts, as well as other teas.
If you want a change of pace and something different, try this cute and quaint tea room. It really is an experience.

This is another place I had been meaning to visit for a while. I am a tea fan so cannot believe it has taken me this long to check out Angel Tea Room.
The first thing that happened after sitting down was that the owner came over and told us about the teas they had available. My eyes started popping when I realized that she had spoken more than 10 words to describe their orange cookie tea and then she kept going for about half a minute, just to describe the flavors of that one tea. Then she went on to describe two other teas they had just brewed (a rooibos and another black tea). For those of you who typically describe your tea using the words «hot» or «cold» or «sweet» or «unsweet», some of the descriptions may go over your head, but then again you will come to this place to try something new. I was just happy to have finally met a local tea sommelier.
You can also eat at this place. The portions are not typical American-​sized portions, more like the lunch fare you would get at a French restaurant, but the food is very tasty. I ordered the soup and sandwich. The tomato basil soup was creamy and delicious and the almond chicken croissant half-​sandwich had sweet flavors in every bite. I would definitely get that sandwich again. Some of the others in our group really liked the chicken wraps.
There are neat tea products (tea, tea pots, tea pot covers, loose tea strainers, etc) to buy in the front shop. The décor was a little x-​mas-​y in the dining area, but still a cute place to gather with friends. At the table next to us was a little 5 year old girl who was in her element at her tea party.
The owner and waitresses were nice and enjoyed engaging in conversation with us. Their website has some info but not the full menu. It is recommended to make reservations for weekend large parties/​showers/​etc.
