Serenitea Tea Room & Gift Shop

Love this place. Such a cute set up and the waitress was so sweet. I will be visiting this place a lot. And I usually don’t drink that much tea but the Lady in Red tea was to die for and I drank the entire pot. The chicken salad and provolone cheese was to die for. Check this place out for sure.

Definitely a must try! The portion of the food order is perfect if you’re watching what you eat. There’s no room to break your diet here unless you order the pumpkin loaf… To yourself.

My girls wanted to have a tea party for my birthday. It was quiet on a Saturday afternoon. My husband and I ordered the afternoon tea while my girls had apple juice and hot chocolate. We ordered the Masala Chai, which was out of this world. The scones were warm and delicious and so was the clotted cream. We were dipping everything in it, including the goldfish crackers. The teapot covers were beautiful! My girls had a great time and we were treated very warmly. We had a memorable experience and we will definitely go back!

Four stars for the food. It was delicious! The problem was there was barely any of it. For $ 25 a person, I don’t want to leave hungry and yet, I did!
I wasn’t a huge fan of the dessert. The pound cake was dry and the bread pudding, just ok.
All four teas were good.
Hospitality is definitely lacking as we didn’t feel that welcomed. Never saw either worker crack a smile. And the southern charm of most tea rooms was most definitely absent from this one.
The finger sandwiches really were wonderful but the price and lack of hospitality would keep me from returning.

I have gone to this tea room many times, and enjoy the tea for two. Problem is, the ambience is lacking, she could do more to warm up the place. Although I’ve gone there regularly for several years now, the owner does not warm up to me or anyone I come with regularly. She acts like she has never seen us, nor does she want to see us again.
Her husband was there this last time we went and even said to us that he had never seen us there before. After we have been regulars for at least 3 years.
All I can say, part of what a tea room is selling is the hospitality. Although the prices are good and food is good, the rude and unfriendly owner makes me not want to go back.

Loved this place! The owner is friendly and the service is good. The ambience is so quaint and wonderful. Just makes you feel all good inside even if your having a bad day. Defiantly try the scones! They are sooo good and border lube additive!

Not bad for an Afternoon Tea experience. I was a little skeptical because I had just watched the Big Bang Theory episode where Penny, Amy, and Bernadette decided to have Afternoon Tea, but when they were arrived, they were surrounded by little girls ruining their «grown-​up» experience. But to my relief, that was not the case — thank gawd. LOL There was a party there with pre-​teens and a toddler, but most of the guests were adults.
A friend and I ordered the Tea for Two. I thought that was a pretty good price for a pot of tea and two sets of finger sandwiches of cucumber, pimiento, egg salad, chicken salad, and tuna salad. We also got 2 scones each with clotted cream and sweet lemon curd. We got to select any dessert from their dessert menu and we chose the Chocolate Hazelnut crepes. I loved everything served on that multi-​tiered tray. I wish, they were full size sandwiches! The scones were exactly how I expected them to be — warm, buttermilk biscuit consistency making them a little crumbly yet moist. Superb… even better with the clotted cream and lemon curd! For the tea, we chose Lady in Red (black tea with pomegranate). I normally opt for non-​flavored black tea, but Lady in Red was a nice change. There was a hint of pomegranate — definitely not overbearing.
Some of the reviews here complained about price. The lunch menu prices are similar to other restaurant lunch prices which I give $. The tea service menu prices are $$, but if you come as a couple, then the Tea for Two is a decent price. Pot of tea which can get you about 5 – 6 cups of tea is not bad either. Perhaps, it’s the experience you’re paying for, but hey, consider it pretty affordable next to Kiran’s, St. Regis, or a real afternoon tea experience in London.
I will definitely come here again. I wish it was less girly, I would love to take my husband here since we are both tea drinkers. Woe is me if I come back and it’s a room filled with pre-​teens or younger! LOL

I don’t get why tea houses need to be as overly ‘kitchy’ as they are.
It’s over priced, bland, and the ‘finger sandwiches’ are actually ‘open sandwiches’. 5 ‘sandwiches’ per person, isn’t exactly generous (comparing to ‘your cup of tea’), or, really a fair assessment, as you get one triangle of cucumber sandwich, one open butterfly (half a sandwich) of pimento cheese, one open butterfly of egg salad, one mini-​filo bite-​sized case of tuna salad and one of chicken salad. I found the dessert to be stodgy.
The scones, however, are the best I’ve had in Houston though — light, fluffy, tasty and the lemon curd is nice too.
I’d go back and have scones with tea… maybe I’ll try one of their sandwiches from the sandwich menu.
The tea room was busy and a pleasant atmosphere, I just think, perhaps, there’s better to be had on the menu, than their afternoon tea — which is unfortunate, since it’s a tea house!

Cute teahouse in Sugar Land. Service and atmosphere is all right (could be faster service-​wise). A little on the small side, so if you need to have a private convo, go elsewhere.
I give it three stars only because the food seemed lackluster and bland. Yes, the sandwiches are cut out in cute flower/​butterfly shapes, but it still tastes like plain pimento cheese spread to me… Tea was fine, not a large selection, so you won’t get overwhelmed with choices. Houston has better options, but it’s a good teahouse for Sugar Land.

The owner was a snob. She could not explain the nuances of Darjeeling tea (we grew up in a Jalpaiguri tea estate) but treated us like hillbilly. We were served on chipped bone china. For these prices I guess the residents of Sugar Creek are delighted because they have never tasted or experienced the genuine thing.

Was here for a bridal shower, didn’t even know this place existed until now! There is a small dining room area and even with our three table of girls there was still room for others to be seated for tea/​lunch. We had a tea tasting of three different teas, my favorite was the Nantucket Blueberry… tasted like a warm blueberry muffin. Yes, everything is lacy and flowery and the tea pots do have koozies, but it’s still casual and comfortable. We were served a sampler of finger sandwiches and light bites, every was fresh and delicious. I liked how all the tea cups were all unique. Teas were available for purchase, but we didn’t get any of the details.
Would recommend for a bridal or baby shower!

I love a good cream tea or afternoon tea. I could have a decent experience at home, but there is something about having tea service in a British-​cozy ambiance that gives me a feeling of gentility. I have experienced afternoon tea at the The Ritz in London, The Windsor Tea Room at the King George Hotel in San Fran, and countless independent tea rooms and gardens. I was visiting my family in Missouri City and my bro-​in-​law is from London so we all decided to go here for a nice cuppa. First, the aroma of Indian spices hit us as we walked into a brightly fluorescent-​lit space. It is in a strip mall so the space we were in was basically a dingy wall on one end with glass commercial windows from ceiling to floor surrounding you for the other walls. This allows for a clear view of what’s outside; cars, traffic, parking lot so you don’t really feel like you are in a tea room. Now that I think of it, there might have been some curtains to attempt to make it cozy. The carpet had crumbs all over, as well. Finally, the tea sandwiches looked terrible and tasted equally bad. I chose to order piping hot samosas to be safe. My poor bro-​in-​law excused himself during the meal and was gone awfully long. My nephew wouldn’t touch a morsel on the tiered trays, no matter how pretty they looked. My niece took a nibble of a sandwich and looked gloomily at her mother. Her mother ordered samosas for her and she felt a little more energetic. We had all arrived starved. Me, I am a nursing mother, so I scarfed down as many mediocre scones as I could with globs of cream. It was not clotted cream, but hey, it was filling. Please, understand, I really want to like this place and want them to do well. But, they need to change the entire décor, the lighting and the food. EVERYBODY at our table, except my wise nephew got Delhi-​belly without setting foot in Delhi. One plus– the tea itself was not bad but I could stay home if that is all I wanted, in a crumbless carpeted house with warm lighting and unmarred walls.

This is definitely a girlie tea room. More girlie than I personally can deal with, but still a nice place to go.
I’ve now visited twice, the first time was with my parents, and this last time was with my boyfriend. The overwhelming amount of estrogen nearly did him in.
Everything is covered in doilies, and the teapots have cozies, it’s a lot to take in, and I unfortunately picked a day to go in that we were in the midst of a baby shower. You can’t get more girlie than that.
However, the food is great. I had a great vegetarian wrap, the samosas are wonderful, and the tea selections are decent. I’ve had the darjeeling and the earl grey.
The location has tea tastings now and again, which I’m interested in attending at some point.
There are also yummy tea pastries. Scones, with lemon curd, and clotted cream.
A nice relaxing place, and one in which I would like to go again.

Lovely tea room, wonderful owner.
The feeling I get here us is a traditional, but modern, English tea room. Not a frilly, Victorian tea house, mind you, but a proper, well-​appointed shop, with lace curtains, tablecloths, and fine furnishings.
The tea selection is not large, but I love all the teas were presented — a large pot (good for two), covered in a cute, custom, cozie!
There’s a nice selection of foods to accompany your teas — after lunching, I was offered a scone special, with two tubs of butter and lemon curd. Delicious; I recommend you choose the same!
You’ll feel very proper and English after visiting Serenitea, but with a contemporary twist.
