Queen Mary Tea Room

Enjoyed having this high tea experience in Seattle! Absolutely loved the coconut oolong I had during my afternoon tea experience. For the afternoon tea, you get a pot of tea (they have a huge list!) and an assortment of small bites and sweets. The cucumber sandwich or the salmon mousse were probably my favorite things. The food was okay for the most part and you'll definitely have left overs, even if you come on an empty stomach! You have to make a reservation a few weeks in advance. My friend and I were in a corner so sometimes it took a while for the waiters to come to us. The decor was cute and on theme with tea. They were walking around giving samples of some teas which was nice to try more than one tea. It's a bit pricey for what you get but a fun experience to splurge on at least once

This is a tea room steeped in the British tradition. As such, it's a unique dining experience and very fun. If you're into high tea; this is your jam. If not, keep an open mind. The entrance and decor set the tone and the mood, and the place was packed. It's easy to see why reservations are a necessity. The interior was decorated with tremendous attention to detail and the place was spotlessly clean. Our server was cheery and informed, walking us through the extensive menu and the specials. The list and variety of teas is impressive; definitely something for every taste. We had the Holiday Afternoon Tea for two; a triple plate tower of sandwiches, pastries, fruit and desserts. Think finger food with a lot of flavor and very well done. I was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was great and we had enough for take home bags for both of us. During the tea, servers came around with samples of other teas they were introducing which was a nice touch in addition to the pot of teas we had each ordered. I had the Mango Passionfruit. Our server placed hourglass timers on our table to enable us to steep our teas to the strength we desired. The table setting itself was tasteful and well done. The owner stopped by each table to asking diners if everything was to their liking. Nice. The full list of teas and desserts is reason to return. Their gift shop is across the street. If you do go, make a reservation for lunch or afternoon tea and plan to purchase afterward.

Came I here to celebrate my friends birthday. It's a beautiful place for traditional afternoon tea. The ambience and details are gorgeous. You get your own tea pot with your choice of tea and a 3 tier tower of finger foods. The customer service was great. The biggest problem was the food was very average except for their carrot soup which was very good but came in a tiny shot glass. We had rotten black berries with our 2nd tower that had misc fruit.There is only street parking which can be difficult because it's a busy street.You have to put your credit card info down to make a reservation.It cost $60 per person for some rotten fruit, small positions of mediocre food, shot glass soup was great and the tea wasn't bad but it's literally tea, you can't really mess that up. I remind myself that I am paying for the experience. But for $60 per person, I expect the food to be amazing.

Best afternoon tea ever!I am a fan of tea parties and have tried multiple tea parties, however this is the best one!!!The food was delicious. I was able to replace some of the sweet items with more sandwiches as I was not in a mood for too much sweet. My favorite was the Christmas cookies tea (holiday special menu). It is the best tea I ever had!Our server was very nice. Very courteous. She was good at what she does.The ambience was beautiful, so christmasy. Honestly, the bathroom was beautifully decorated as well :D

Came here with as a group of four for brunch on the weekend - very peculiar that they had different prices for food on weekend vs weekday. We all opted for different dishes - I ordered the two eggs, potatoes, and fruit brunch. $22 dollars for a very alright breakfast fare without any protein besides the two eggs. Seemed steep for what I got but I suppose I'm paying for the experience as well. The teapot you get is $11 and it is quite a bit of tea to get through. This price wasn't noted anywhere on the menu which was interesting. One of the waitresses was extremely lovely and pleasant and very attentive. The other waitress was the polar opposite - almost like our existence were an inconvenience to her... I hope she was just having an off day. Overall, might be worth a trek if you're into having some high tea with England tea house kitsch but I wouldn't necessarily go out of your way given the mixed service, very overpriced food, and a bathroom that wasn't well-kept.

Such a cute spot for a girls brunch or event! Everything was so cute and the food was really good. I got the afternoon tea and they were able to adjust for a friend that is vegetarian and another friend who doesn't eat pork. Really great and attentive service. Would recommend!

Don't get this confused from their Tea store! This one is the Tea Room- the dining area. It's a cute, small restaurant. A little bit smaller than I expected, but it's perfect enough for tea time for three. Tea was exceptional. I got the creamy early grey. I highly recommend it, especially if you're not too much of a tea drinker! We got the Afternoon Tea platter. It comes with sorbet TO START! We were shocked it wasn't given at the end; it would've been a good "palate cleanser." The entire Afternoon Tea experience, at first it didn't look worth the price, but we were sooo full and had leftovers! Our favorite was the savory pastries.Only downside of this place is the size of the dining area and the stinky bathrooms! Otherwise, it does a cute job for literally what it's meant for-- afternoon tea. :)

Lovely experience! Great decor and ambiance! Good food and service. The tea room is a fun experience to have at least once! I personally would not go more than that. The decor and ambiance I think is what makes it so special. Service was accommodating and helpful but not memorable. Food was ok. Just like the service I don't think the food was notable. Good but not worth a reservation weeks in advance.Pro: pretty colorful sugar, samples of different teas during our visit, parking was easy (on a Saturday)!

This was a really cool experience! We came for the afternoon tea and I highly recommend a reservation. The afternoon tea does have options for dietary restrictions including for vegetarian and gluten free. The veggie options were pretty good - they mainly subbed out salmon toast for a hummus toast cracker, a sausage pastry for a mushroom one, and the chicken sandwich for an apple sandwich. My partner didn't actually like his chicken sandwich either. I loved the cucumber sandwiches, sorbet, and tea. I also liked the fresh fruit and mini pastries and scones. The tomato soup was honestly some of the best we have ever had so I'd probably just order a whole bowl of it. Overall I'd probably do afternoon tea again for a special occasion but I'd love to try their brunch or lunch. The service was superb and they were very attentive. I watched them handle tables full of children and people who tried to argue about the menu times (it says on your reservation what time what menus are available and that everyone must order a meal) with poise too. The ambiance was really interesting - kind of frilly and kitschy in the way I'd expect a British auntie's house to be, so very on brand and immersive. Definitely recommend checking it out and also stopping by their emporium shop down the block for some tea.

NOTE: Reservations are required! Plan ahead by at least two to three weeks. Due to limited seating, each party will receive 90 minutes. Ambience - 5/5!!Adorable brunch spot to visit with a girl and have and spill tea The attention to detail in the ambiance is astounding; Everthing including bathroom exuded a British atmosphere. I loved the plates and cups they use to serve food and tea. Food 3/5 - Had Veggie Garden with fruits. The food was bland overall, even though the fruits were fresh. Tea - 5/5 - A variety of options based on light, medium, dark, or decaf blendsService - 5/5 - Very professional, helpful and provides frequent check-ins Definitely suggest going once.
