My mom and I came here on a Saturday afternoon to do something a little different for lunch. It's a convenient location as you can do some shopping and then pop in for a break! The decor is a little hokey but still fun! We got the afternoon tea which comes with 3 sandwiches (egg salad, cucumber, and your choice), a rotating scone with jam and clotted cream, and 4 little desserts. The scone the day we went was a coco cherry and it was absolutely delicious!!! The sandwiches are cute but nothing I couldn't make myself. We added on an extra pot of tea, so we got the passion fruit one a vanilla. The vanilla was so good, we almost got another pot!! It's $35 a person and an extra 12.50 for another pot of tea. Based on the small amount of food you get, I don't know if it's fully worth the $35. Also good to note that a 20% tip is included in the bill regardless of party size or price. I didn't see it anywhere on the menu, so just a warning! I wish they used cuter dish ware!! A place that does high tea should have the cutesy plates, tea cups and saucers, and pots. All of it was plain and kinda boring to look at. A missed opportunity for sure. It was a fun thing to do on a Saturday but not something I would do on the regular.

Located on the 3rd floor of Sak's 5th Ave in the Keystone mall sits a delightful tea room with sparkle and all things lovely. Our server Debbie, was excellent in guiding our selections. While some chose the Afternoon Tea which consisted of 3 tiers of tea sandwiches, scone w/ clotted cream and an English jam of choice (all sounding delicious), and mini desserts all amply satisfying amounts to enjoy, I chose the Pair Two-a salad of choice and a sandwich choice w a choice of bread. It was all good and the pleasant atmosphere is perfect to top off your shopping at the mall. Prices seem reasonable. Seating is not crowded and there are areas to snap some photos to make any special occasion there unforgettable. They also have tea sets, jams as well as some other pretties to purchase.

Tilly's Tea Room is a charming place to get together for lunch with friends while having an afternoon tea experience! I got my bridal party together for an afternoon tea party prior to wedding dress shopping. When I made the reservation, the hostess was very accommodating and booked us for the earliest they open on Saturday. Lovely experience enjoying afternoon tea with fun ceramic tea pot, tea cups, finger sandwiches, scones, and mini desserts.

A cute little nook on the 3rd floor of Saks Fifth. From the set up to the theme being executed, this is the perfect place to gather with the girls. Our waitress was cheerful and accommodating. We even had the chef willingly come out to help individualize part of our order. There are not many meat free options listed but the chef uniquely designed a substitution for me. The food is cute and yummy. They have a special kid's menu that will help your kid to feel just like a princess/prince. We have a wonderful time.

Very spacious and clean. We did the Grand Tea so each person could have their own tower/tea experience. Wished we could have switched tea to try more than 1 kind. My friend did bottomless coffee instead. My favs:- orange scone - egg saladNot my fav:- value (portion sizes for price)- you reuse your tea bag when they refill*There were 2 other tables occupied and we were not checked on frequently so our refills were slow.* I don't like over-steeped tea and had removed my tea bag. Upon refill I was brought hot water only and instructed to reuse my teabag. The bag had been squeezed, wrapped around a spoon, and was on my plate with crumbs. Not ideal. I mentioned this and it was explained to me that they use a new tea bag on your 3rd or so refill. They left and I cleaned off my teabag to use it again. After it was steeping in the new hot water, the waitress came by with a new tea bag (I think she realized I wasn't thrilled). But it was too late - she didn't say she would do that, and I was already sleeping the old one. So she took the new tea bag back. Just awkward.

I was an artist exhibiting at the Saks third floor gallery. In order to have food served at my venue, I had to deal with the proprietor of Tilly's Tea Room, Sharon Moore. Sharon was unreachable, haughty, and rude. I paid for food to be served from 2 to 5:30. Food arrived almost an hour late and was collected one and a half hours early, so food was only available for one and a half hours when I paid for more. I understood that the food had to taken out before 5:30 but 4?? Sharon refused to allow music stating that I would have to rent the entire Saks store in order to do so because our music would interfere with the Tea Room Music and the store music. then, at the last minute, a speaker was wheeled in for music from my iPhone. Altogether, an experiance that was a waste.

Oh my gosh- how could I have not known about this place. I have been so sad since the tea room in Carmel closed. But now I have a new place. My daughter and I went to check it out. It is on the top floor of Saks- a cool little art museum is outside. The decor was quite nice. They have a high tea and a cute princess tea for kids however we just wanted tea and a snack. We ordered a vanilla flavored tea that we shared.It was very good and hot. We each ordered a scone: the scone of the day was blueberry. Delicious and a bit different from other scones I have had. A little moister. The scone came with a choice of sides. I ordered clotted cream and lemon curd. My daughter ordered the clotted cream and a strawberry jam. The lemon curd was out of this world and I had to fight my daughter off lol. I did notice that you can buy it there too! A pot of tea was $9.50 and each scone was $7.( I do wish the scone was a little bigger or maybe 2). A little expensive but so relaxing and quiet and worth the price. The staff was excellent and very helpful.

Such a fun experience! Went here with my mom and toddler and had the best experience! You will definitely need a reservation, especially if planning to go on a Saturday as there is not room for walk-ins on weekends. We made our reservation about a week in advance. When we arrived, we were greeted by name by the owner, Sharon! Very nice touch as it let me know they are very aware of their reservations! She was very sweet and kindly showed us to our table! She even came back and took our order! It was nice to see an owner who was so involved and didn't shy away from helping her staff! We ordered the Princess Tea for my toddler which comes with a heart shaped sandwich, scone w/jam, desserts, and a "pot of tea" of their choice. They can pick from things like apple juice, orange juice, milk, or tea. We also ordered the Afternoon Tea and chose the share with a friend option. The Afternoon Tea shared with a friend comes with 6 finger sandwiches (cucumber, egg salad, and we chose chicken salad as our 3rd option), scones with cream and your choice of jam or curd, desserts, and 2 pots of tea! Everything was lovely! All of the sandwiches were delicious and each had their own distinct flavors! The cranberry scones were wonderful! I enjoyed mine with the cream and lemon curd! And the desserts were so yummy! The Mango Green Tea is a must try. The flavor is very subtle yet very satisfying! The decor here is so dainty and pretty, yet also cozy! There's smooth jazz playing in the background and overall you feel like you are enjoying tea in someone's home. All of the staff are very attentive and you can tell they enjoy their job! This place is must try for sure and one I know we will frequent!

A peaceful escape from the bustling fashion mall tucked away on the third floor of Saks fifth avenue.If you want the real deal for English tea look no further than Tilly's! We were not doing full afternoon tea this time but I checked it out and the tiers of sandwiches and treats looked great. However because we were there we had to try a little bit of everything so we had to try some traditional tea fare and ordered mango green tea, a scone and an order of crumpets. The crumpets were served fresh off the griddle in and toppped with butter and we had our choice of Nutella, lemon curd, orange curd, strawberry jam and strawberry champagne jam. The scone had the same jam and curd options but also included clotted cream. The server shared with us that they rotate scone flavors... Today we had lavender, but she mentioned some they have on other days included traditional raisin, peaches and cream, white chocolate cherry, orange cranberry.... To name a few. I guess I'll have to come in more often to see what they're having and obviously have a taste. So.... we were REALLY there for lunch and both of us got the daily special... And that was definitely the right choice! So, first of all, note that it was a special and they might not have it all the time but if this is any hint on what future specials will be like, I'll have them going forward.... GRILLED. CHEESE. PERFECTION.Ricotta and Brie make a perfectly oozy cheesy filling, on gorgeously crispy-on-the-outside browned airy-on-the-inside brioche, and to cut the rich decadence of the cheese, there's a layer perfectly thinly sliced pears... Just the right amount of sweet for balance.The tomato basil soup is labeled a "cup" but it's a small bowl. This is real from scratch tomato soup perfect tomato tartness to go with the oozy wonderful grilled cheese.This was inspired perfect comfort food to warm my soul on this frigid winter week!

So elegant. I went here on a "day date" with my wife. We had tea with scones and clotted cream - that was the goal of the trip. We also had sandwiches for lunch.It was fun to go and have a tea party in the middle of the day. It was mostly about the atmosphere for us. There were many tables open on our date day. But, the service seemed overwhelmed or thrown off by our arrival. There was a party of 12 at one table, a party of 4 at another and our party of 2. We had to wait 15 minutes to get someone to seat us (she commented, "She told me there was another reservation, but she didn't give me the details of when or how many.") and then quite a bit more wait time for someone to come to our table. The person who said, "I'll be right back." never came and finally someone who appeared to be helping but not doing his normal job, came out. He said in a surprised voice, "have you been waited on?" From that point on he helped us, and we got service. Probably just a fluke, but it made me feel like I was doing something wrong by being there...Our food took a while to get to us. We both ordered a sandwich and it was just okay. I don't think they were made to the description on the menu. My wife ordered based on the description of the sandwich and asked at one point if she got the correct order because it didn't have many of the items from the menu. We were told it was correct - the time to get the first set of sandwiches was so long, we just let it go. The clotted cream was not smooth like it normally is and the scone was stale. We had this clotted cream and scone from the Tea Room on the Midtown Holiday Home tour and it was amazing. But at the tea room, it was old and not great. Again, it was like we were not quite suppose to be there. Even though we had a reservation, they did not plan on us being there - I really felt like an unwelcome guest.We still enjoyed ourselves by ignoring the situation and enjoying each others company. It was a quiet, elegant place to meet for lunch - just the two of us. We didn't feel rushed and it was an experience worth having.I'd like to go back and see if it is better. But, at $15 / sandwich that my not be any better, I'll just go somewhere else.
