Shellys Tea Rooms

"Having just visited Great Britian this summer I was so excited to be able to have high tea locally. This was truly a gem and my parents and I loved the experience. We did not have a reservation (highly recommended as space is limited) but the owner was happy to tell us she had just had a cancellation and promptly seated us. We opted for two Windsors and a Cream Tea (first had mulled tea along with your choice of pot of tea, various tea sandwiches of the day (cheese, cucumber, egg and ham & cheese) 2 scones and some petite desserts). We greatly enjoyed it all. The scones had a crunchy exterior but soft on the inside. We chose lemon (light lemon taste) and blueberry. They came with clotted cream, jam and butter. We had Victorian sponge cake, custard tarts and another almost bread pudding like dessert. All were lovely. Overall it was a unique experience that we greatly enjoyed. It was packed almost the whole visit (noon-1:30) and I would suggest keeping to a smaller party and making a reservation if you don’t want to wait. It’s not fast food and the expectation is to have a unrushed experience. Highly recommend!!"

"Shelly's Tea Rooms was a magical and lovely experience. My sister and I went for afternoon tea to celebrate her recently becoming a mom. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious - especially the sticky toffee pudding and the two teas I tried were amazing. They were also really flexible and accommodating to vegetarian diets. I will definitely be returning!"

"Came here randomly with my 10 year old daughter and had ourselves a proper tea party. I legit felt like the Queen of England invited us to her parlor for Tea and Crumpits. The Food was fantastic. And the Tea was a 10/10. Shelly when your ready to start a Modern Day Boston Tea Party. Count me in.."

"Went specifically for afternoon tea and was not disappointed. Nothing better on a cold, rainy day than a nice cuppa. I enjoyed every bit of it but especially recommend the scones with clotted cream and strawberry preserves."
