The Ivy Tearoom

Apparently this place has been there for a while and regardless of the number of times I drove by I never noticed. There aren't really any signs. That said it's adorable and nicely decorated inside. You get a couple of hours with multiple courses in your own private room. They have recommendations for the tea pairings with the various courses but you can choose your own and there's one heck of a selection. The staff is knowledge and will give you recommendations on what (if anything) to add to your tea to really bring out the flavor as far as cream and sugar goes.We did the non-alcoholic service and the food and tea were both amazing. There was plenty of food in the three courses. They have limited ability to accommodate dietary needs, but were able to do this for just one member of our party without forcing the others that ad no restrictions to that particular menu item. It didn't matter though, it was all delicious. Anyway, this was an excellent experience and I highly recommend it.

The Ivy Tea Room truly exceeded all my expectations during my recent visit. Let's begin with the exquisite tea selection! Opting for the 3-course tea service, each tea was expertly paired with our food offerings, creating a delightful culinary experience. From perfectly plated cucumber sandwiches to savory quiche and delectable scones, every course was a culinary masterpiece. Among the teas, the Caramel Doughnut blend stood out with its delicious herbal infusion, making it a personal favorite. Our book club, consisting of a large group of ladies, was graciously hosted in the elegant Pink Parlor upstairs. Each room in the tea room has its own unique charm, but the Pink Parlor was perfect for our event, with a beautiful view of the Sandias and the pink velvet chairs.The service was truly exceptional. The owner, her daughter, and the entire staff were not only professional but also incredibly attentive, ensuring that our group felt truly special throughout our visit. Their top-notch service truly enhanced our experience and made our ladies' event unforgettable. If you've made it to the end of this review, I highly recommend not waiting any longer to indulge in the memorable experience that the Ivy Tea Room has to offer.

Absolutely lovely time today at the Ivy Tearoom. I had never been to a proper tearoom before. We were greeted warmly and shown to our room. We had three services, each were absolutely wonderful. We went with the suggested pairings for each service. The scones in the first serving were so wonderful with lemon cream and raspberry jam. My favorite of the second serving was the egg salad on croissant bread. In the final serving, they even put a candle in for a birthday in our group. The room was well lit, with tall windows, but we were able to draw the draperies to keep the sun out of our eyes. It was so quiet, I forgot there were a number of other rooms occupied. Absolutely lovely.

I grew up down the way from this tearoom. I have driven down 4th street several times and had no idea this was an actual tearoom. My girlfriend and I went for an early holiday celebration. We were checked in and led to our private room. The rooms are so warm and comfortable and you feel like you are the only ones in the place. We were immediately greeted by our waitstaff and she brought our first tea and some goodies to go along with it. The whole experience was really wonderful. We had three settings of tea paired with three different courses. All were paired perfectly. I ordered a glass of champagne for a toast. You are scheduled for a two hour time slot. It gives you time to settle in and enjoy! Friendly service and a beautiful setting. I want to go in the summer when they serve outdoors.

I came here on a cold Sunday with some friends for their birthday. The place was packed. It was such a cute private environment. The treats and tea was tasty and there was 2 hours to enjoy all the fun! I'll be back for another special event sometime in the future I'm sure!

Ivy Tearoom is a fun, so aesthetically appealing spot for afternoon tea! My friends and I love coming here when we decide on a last minute reservation. The tea selections are always delicious and pair well with each course, and all the little bites and treats are tasty! We've been in different rooms and tried out the outdoor heated igloos during the winter months, and they've all have their own quirky little touches that we love.

Always a wonderful time! I am a VIP member and its a great investment. I highly recommend IVY tea room.

Beautiful tearoom with multiple, beautifully decorated rooms! There are a plethora of teas to choose from and even a few cocktails. The charcuterie was amazing and the desserts even better! Such a fun, intimate space! Highly recommend!

My daughter and I had a Galentine's tea at The Ivy Tearoom. We were in one of the private alcoves with a glorious view of the Sandias. The teas we tried were good. I was surprised by the white tea we chose--I usually prefer black teas, but the white tea was delicious. The small bites were good and varied, and perhaps my favorite thing is that the private spaces meant that we could truly enjoy ourselves in a quiet, restful way. Our service was also calm, knowledgeable, and gracious.

Absolutely loved our experience here! It was a really wonderful experience working with the staff to throw a lovely birthday party for our daughter! We rented the Pink Parlor and it was magical! The music, the food, the tea was all so perfect! Would recommend!
