17 Berkshire

Had to go grab the iced coffee from 17 Berkshire in the Champion Sips Contest sponsored by Edible Memphis today. I am behind on trying the all. Going to catch up before it is over. I ordered the Snickerdoodle Latte with oat milk and half the sugar. It was perfect. Very nice flavors of cinnamon and yumminess. I ordered a snickerdoodle cookie that was pretty good size and very chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Perfectly baked cookie. The service was awesome. The young lady was very nice and cordial. The shop is decorated very nicely. The y offer tea parties and wonderful cookies, pastries and macarons. The items taste scrumptious. Check this wonderful local bakery and coffee shop if you have not.

Ordered macarons for an event and they were a hit! We stuck with classic flavors - pistachio, lemon, raspberry, and chocolate. Multiple people raved about how good they were and asked where they came from. Originally spoke with someone in the Germantown shop who was very helpful to figure out what would be a good fit for my event. Only note is macaron orders can't be placed online so we needed to call in. Looking forward to trying more flavors and treats next visit!

After visiting an exhibit at the Botanic Gardens, a group of us headed to 17Berkshire for afternoon tea. I am not a sweets person. Love candy, but desserts and the like have never been a fav. That said, I loved the food and experience! At $35 per person, each food set up includes tea sandwiches, scones, and assorted pastries. The scones were nothing to write home about but everything else made me sing. I don't recall ever trying a macaron and even if I did, it was only once. I'm glad I gave them a try during our visit because I found my new treat. To drink, we opted for the Heavenly Cream, Rouge Provence, and Chai teas. I had the latter two and both were amazing. The space is small but the windows make for great people watching on the square.The only downside to our experience was the wait time, and that was beyond anyone's control. We had a reservation but only one person was working, so she had to help every customer on her own. Keeping that in mind, please be patient with the staff

Absolutely love love love these. Never in my life have I had a macaroon, an just so happen a friend brought a box to work. An I never tried them based off others opinions. Til NOW!! I was told they are made different so if I ever try another from some where else. An they don't taste like these. You can keep it Raspberry all day for me. Can't wait to try the others

I wanted this place to be a great experience, but I was very disappointed. I heard about this place from an Edible Memphis article touting that it's "the gift for the tea lover who has everything." Their branding/marketing is super cute, and because my friend's birthday was coming up, I booked a tea time.We selected an afternoon slot on the day before Thanksgiving. I figured it would be pretty crowded but didn't think it would be packed, and it's a tea shop, so how busy can it get?The answer is VERY busy. The entire time we were there, people were packing in to order pastries and desserts, talking loudly. It's not a big place, so this was a huge distraction and really took away from the relaxing tea experience.When we got there, we waited in line, and were gestured toward a table in the corner which was reserved for us. We sat ourselves and waited about 15 minutes for the waitress (who was also working the packed counter/register) to come by for our tea order. We were informed that we get one tea type per two people. There were only 5 teas to choose from. We went with a classic Earl Grey.They took quite a while to bring us the tea pot, and the tea was very floral for Earl Grey. The tea cups weren't so much dainty tea cups as tea mugs; they felt very clunky for afternoon tea. Call me crazy, but I honestly expected bone china. More time passed, and then we were given a three tiered tray with our tea snacks on it. The snacks consisted of an underwhelming assortment of 6 generic sandwiches that were the size of a piece of bread in quarters, 4 scones that were the size of macaroons, and 6 bite-sized desserts. The sandwiches were 1) turkey with mayo, 2) cucumber with dressing, and 3) a crostini with cream cheese and a sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning. They were incredibly small and soggy. The pumpkin and vanilla scones were soft and super sugary. The desserts were a petit four (honestly the best part of the whole meal, though unexpectedly custard-like in texture), a chai tea bite, and a espresso and a maple macaroon.Our waitress only came by our table to get our initial tea order and then drop off the tea, and then drop off the tiered tray. We were not checked on at any other time, and I felt as if we were inconveniencing her when we asked for cream for the tea. To add insult to this, when I walked up to the counter to pay, I was informed there was a 15% service charge. Granted, the staff members were polite, but there were way too few staff members for the service I think they were trying to deliver.I didn't feel the value, service, nor food was worth the price. Everything tasted like it came out of a premade tin. I suppose my expectations were a lot different, as I was expecting a quiet, customized tea, especially for $40 per person. I wouldn't want to go back for anything, as even that petit four wasn't a stand-out item that would have me coming back. I'm really disappointed, and I can't say I'll ever be back.

I'm so so so so thankful 17 Berkshire has Harry Potter day/weekend at least once a year! We so enjoyed it last year and we're so happy it came back again for a full weekend!!! Everything we tried was fantastic and I think it's absolutely worth a trip but do be aware of a little sticker shock when it comes to the price. Everything we had was so fresh and while some of it felt especially overpriced (looking at you Goblet of Fire...) I can't be mad at the overall experience whatsoever. Favorites: Pumpkin Pastie, every single macaron we tried, and the polyjuice potion key lime was fantastic!

Cute little shop we found on yelp after we finished a late lunch nearby. We needed a lift after our long drive into Memphis. Our chai and latte were very good the cup and decor were very unique and special. My mom hit the nail on the head when she said you can tell this is someone's dream. The ambiance was quiet. There was only one family enjoying an afternoon "high tea" they were dressed to the nines. Rectangular dishes or trays under the pastries on display would really help highlight them . Definitely worth a stop! Go out and support someone's dream today!

Patisserie"a shop where French pastries and cakes are sold"I think it's so cool that we have a patisserie in the city! I love just passing by 17 Berkshire during my visits to Midtown! It's so beautiful, peaceful, and delicate! It's the perfect place to get some alone time, do some work, or have a tea party! I've done all 3! Lol The tea parties can be for adults and children. They include an assortment of pastries, teas, and coffee. They also have only merchandise for purchase at the store! It's a pretty sweet getaway and truly a city jewel. It is another one of the many examples in the collection of experiences Memphis has to offer. If you're ever in Midtown stop by to get something sweet and grab some tea!Items I Purchased:Pastry- FraisierThe Fraiser was creamy, fluffy, and paired well with the strawberries. It's not to be confused with cheesecake. Tea- Rouge ProvenceRouge Provence was so good! It gave creamy floral notes. Next time I get it I'm going to add a little cream but it's good with only a little simple syrup.

Stopped in for their excellent pastry and a cold brew. Friendly staff and very clean restroom.

Saddle Creek has a Pop-up location *through Feb. '24) between Talbots & Sephora. SO Nicefor tea, coffee and pastries especially Maccarons - - recommend theWedding Cake flavor, but all are fresh & super light.
