Lady Di British Store & Tea Room

I absolutely love this place! Ladies here are sweet and I loooove their scones. I quite enjoy their soups and tea sandwiches as well. Ladies here are nice and sweet. I see that some people here have complained that the service is slow but considering that it’s a tea place where you sit and enjoy your cup of tea and not a restaurant, I think the pace of service is good. Also, I recommend you call and make reservation since they get filled pretty fast… though I always did end up managing to get a table every time I dropped by without a reservation. Great place!

When we arrived initially they were a tad busy with all tables full with the exception of two small empty tables with reserved signs on them. A young woman approached us and was apologetic and asked if we would mind waiting for 20 – 30 minutes for a table to be freed up. We said that would be fine and we would go walk around to waste a little time until something was available. We came back 30 minutes later and eventually an older woman noticed us and asked if we were wanting to be seated but then told us that there weren’t any empty tables. Just then she noticed the two small reserved tables just as we saw that customers were leaving a regular sized table. She then asked the younger lady who the two little tables were reserved for and then took the signs off and proceeded to tell us that she would seat us at the small tables. We then asked if we couldn’t sit at the regular sized table that had just been vacated and not be squished into a tiny table so we could enjoy our visit and she said no, that she wanted the table in case other customers came along. We said that we would not be comfortable at the tiny table and she said that she would sit us there, but if other people came along she would move us! The audacity! Treating paying customers second rate like we were a bother. Very uppity and she seemed surprised that we didn’t agree to it and instead left. They will never get our business, nor anyone-we-know’s business.

Cozy cottage atmosphere and very relaxing. Excellent quality food and tea selection. Ask for their private sitting room with the little fireplace in advance for a more romantic or intimate experience (seats up to four).
Love their scones!
Quite a selection of tea goodies and English candy. Can recommend their cake highly.

This is a quaint and charming little tea room and store. We were a party of five and we all ordered the Lady Di’s Afternoon Tea. I’m very into tea and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed my cup of tea. I didn’t even need honey or sugar which speaks volumes lol The sandwiches and desserts were pretty good, but the scones with jam were the best. I even made a trade to get more ha ha Overall, it was a lovely time and I’d go back again.

they have a great selection of British groceries. its hard to find Cadbury chocolate bars and this place has a great selection of sweets. they also have heinz beans. a beautiful shop.

This is my favorite place to take myself for a treat. The shop is well stocked and the tea room is charming. I’m very grateful Lady Di’s has been a Lake Oswego landmark for 20+ years and that I came to the area to experience it.

I frequent Lady Di’s with my Mom & sister. We come in to have the Lady Di tea & catch up.
The Lady Di tea is all inclusive to me… it has sweets and savories. I always get the beloved and wonderful Orange Bliss Tea. The scones, clotted cream and jam are wonderful.
I’ve sat in the cozy room, with friends and family and that’s nice for a larger group. I also like sitting near the front window which is also nice.
I always receive wonderful service and everyone is always helpful & nice. The owner (Moyra) is present most times (when I have gone) and very professional at all times.
Prices for the Lady Di’s tea are always reasonable (when compared to The Heathman tea) and the food to price ratio is just right.

This is the place to go is you want British items They have a fairly good stock of British food products including frozen goods. Their little café area is cute and the scones are very good. Excellent place to go for a spot of afternoon tea :-)

Such a fun experience, my child loved it so much she asked to have her birthday there. A definite must do! Great food! Atmosphere! Service! Every thing was just lovely.

We came for afternoon tea looking for an authentic experience. The décor is definitely British, warm and welcoming. We had reserved the tea cozy room as we brought our 2 year old with us (reservations are a necessity). There is a limited menu in that room so be forewarned.
We ordered the afternoon tea and were happy with what we got. It came with sandwiches, tea, scones, fruit and mini desserts. It was plenty and good but nothing amazing. The staff were pretty friendly and okay with our little one. They had a basket of toys and books to occupy her which was helpful.
We’ll definitely return but probably without the little one so we can enjoy it more. It’s an experience to be saboteur and not rushed.

They have a nice selection of English foods – from Smarties and Curly Wurly bars to Marmite and jams – as well as some interesting gift ideas that go beyond tea cosies, such as London street signs, but their customer service is lacking. The best we’ve garnered on three walk-​throughs (while actively shopping and looking up to staff for assistance when they passed) was a vacant glance.
It’s too bad, because we love many of their products and would support a local store over chains that import similar merchandise. Our family has been to London and our kids would enjoy finding some of these treats in their stockings. But not from Lady Di’s.

Adorable oasis in downtown Lake Oswego.
Oh right, this isn’t Twitter. Elaborating:
Lady Di’s IS adorable, though; that’s the best single descriptor. It’s tiny, it’s twee, it’s entirely unique, and the tea options are many and wonderful. You definitely want to be an expat (like the folks who run it), or a bit of an anglophile — otherwise, you might find yourself confused about the appeal.
It’s only crowded on weekends, but you can make a reservation if you like. On weekdays, go alone and bring a book, or snag one of the British home & garden mags they keep on hand. It’s a nice quiet retreat, with a friendly proprietor and staff.
The shop sells all kinds of teas and British foods you don’t see a lot of in the States, plus plenty of postcards and cutesy souvenirs.

I had tea here with a meetup group recently. I have been to the shop many times and toured there place, but this was the first time I remember actually spending some time here and enjoying tea with company. They were encouraging reservations big time, especially if you have more than 3 – 4 in your party. The event planner did not make reservations or he tried, but I was told that it didn’t work out. We were lucky and sat in their private tea room in back, but it holds up to 7, which was our exact parties’ size. I loved my tea pot. I had a fruity peach tea. The gift shop is adorable and it feels like you are settling into an English cottage with admiration towards the British Royal Family of course. Fun times by all, and cozy comforts. They sell scones, finger sandwich platters, and soup too. The scones and biscuts looked basic. The tea was super, but i wasn’t that impressed with the food that my other company ordered. I wasn’t that hungry, but nothing caught my eye to order anyhow. The English store is fun, and they usually have a discount table by the register. I will be back for tea again. I hope to go more than this time for sure.

I enjoy the tea shop at Lady Di’s. It’s very sweet, with chintz and ivy and a little fireplace with a reading chair. Their dishware is nice, including the high tea service.
I was disappointed in the scones. I didn’t like the texture and they were bland. But the rest of the food is very good. In particular I like the cheese toast and the sausage roll.
Their tea selection is a good variety and I’ve liked every one I’ve had.
I find the service to be prompt and friendly, and of course its fun to hear the accents of the ladies who run the place.
The whole thing is neatly put together and cozy. It’s worth the trip if you don’t live in Lake O.

I had my birthday celebration here and we had a «tea party» which was wonderful.
My friends were wonderful to come and celebrate with me and the food was great as well. The space was set up nicely and decorated for the season. The tiered dishes of food which were served with the pots of tea were delicious and tasty. All in all I have to say I had a 5 star experience in the tea room. The tea was brewed to perfection and service was perfect too.
If you have been to the Lady Di store you need to put it on your list as a place to try out. Allow yourself time to shop their food and wine sections as well as holiday items.

I use to live fairly close to this place and would stop by every few weeks. My husband is from England and they have a really good assortment of English foods for when he was craving a home comfort. The prices are pretty high on these items but then again they are being shipped all the way from England. They even stock items that most other English stores don’t carry like Pot Noodles, danish bacon, and yorkshire puddings.
We’ve also gone for tea service before, and I recommend making a reservation if you do this as the seating area is a bit small. Also, the prices for their tea service are very reasonable compared to the competition. My husband had a sausage roll and he swears it tastes just like what he gets back home.
I stuck to the tea and finger foods and enjoyed both very much. This is a great place to take your family or friends for an afternoon of tea and you won’t spend an arm and a leg to do it. It’s also located in downtown lake oswego so when you are done you can go shopping and make a day of it.

This delightful, authentic British tea room was a key component of an amazing day spent with a special someone. Having lived in England for four years, I am rather particular when it comes to tea rooms and was more than pleased when I visited here. We were greeted immediately and shown to a very nice table by the window. Our server treated us like royalty and checked on us during the course of our visit. Everything was lovely – the friendliness, the ambiance and, of course, our tea, sweets & savories. The menu offers a great deal of variety in both selections and prices. The location is easily found and there was free parking adjacent. Thank you for your hospitality and making our time together special. I can’t wait to return one day. =)

Staff is friendly and with charming British accent but the food and tea are not the best. We ordered loose leaf teas and got bags, and our scones were dry. Having sampled high teas around the country and abroad, this place has room for improvement. It would also help to not be rushed out when one likes to linger a bit. During one of our visits the hostess appeared with rubber gloves up to her elbows as she cleared our table informing us there were other reservations waiting. While I buy some of the edibles in the store, I shall take my tea elsewhere.

I’ve been coming here for years with my dad. You see, he was born and raised in England and still has the most charming accent and love for his homeland which he’s passed along to me (the love, not the accent).
These are a few of my favorite edible English things…
Bangers
Cadbury fruit & nut chocolate bars (imported, not the kind you get at Freddies)
Heinz baked beans for beans on toast
HP sauce
Pasties
Salad cream
Ty-​phoo tea
Walker’s shortbread
And these are the things I never got a taste for because I was born and raised in the good ‘olé USA…
Figgy pudding
Haggis
Kippers
Marmite
Vegemite
All of these items and so much more are stocked at Lady Di’s. It is a combination grocer and tea shoppe and just a lovely place to be if you need a dose of jolly old England. It is important to note that I’ve never had tea here, so my review is limited to grocery side of the business.
I was tempted to throw in some fun British slang, but realized (a) my father would be mortified and (b) it just doesn’t suit this business which caters to an older and ‘refined’ clientele. I’ll save my love of British slang for the pubs.

This place is seriously dangerous if you have an sweet tooth for English treats… see my photos for proof.
They have a tea room, which I have never tried (sorry, no help).
Come around Christmas time, when they really go nuts with tables covered in Christmas crackers and all the holiday candies you could ever want!
The store owner and other employees are very sweet… can it get any better?
