The Vintage Tea and Cake Company - Belmont 129 Belmont Street, Belmont, MA 02478

"Hired them for my daughter’s birthday party at our home to cater. The food was so beautiful, delicate and delicious! Highly recommend. So easy - Adel thought of everything and made hosting 15 ten year olds a breeze!"

"Cute little tea room just outside of Boston. All of the places downtown wanted 2-3x the cost so this was a reasonable alternative while we were visiting the city. A variety of tea paired nicely with the dessert, scones and sandwiches."

"Visited on a Sunday morning at 10am with my 2 daughters. Service was very friendly - I appreciated all the smiling faces! The food however was just OK and does not justify the $30 per adult charge and $18 per child charge. The bread on all of our sandwiches was hard…didn’t taste fresh. The bakery items were OK…nothing memorable. Their tea selection was good. I enjoyed my vanilla chai. No matter how nice the service was…it doesn’t make the food taste any better."

"Lovely place. Merit, the manager was amazing. She was always offering more tea, clotted cream, and good vibes. She even gave us to go cups with tea bags. Best tea I’ve had in the USA (even better than in London). Will be coming back."

"A humble yet charming tea experience, the small-town feel of this place really adds to the appeal. From the intentionally mismatched but beautiful fine china, to the quirky design aspects such as picture frames with nothing in them, the space breathes authenticity. With an admittedly small but not lacking tea menu, my girlfriend and I shared a pot of perfectly brewed tea over which we had a wonderful conversation. The food was also presented in a pleasant manner. All of which was tasty, and often unique enough to provoke conversation. The staff truly shined, and you could tell that they put an emphasis on customer satisfaction - walking the delicate line of always being available and helpful, but never intrusive or adverse to a conversational atmosphere. Perfect place for a date or intimate meeting of friends/family. Reservations recommended. My recommendations to management: (1) move away from the fluorescent lights. As a substitute, perhaps incorporate some decorative lamps that fit the decor. This will not only help with the overall ambiance and warmth of the space, but help make patrons forget that they are in a small store front. (2) Do more decorating. The space was not lacking, but I think a goal would be to do as much as possible to make patrons feel that they are stepping into a new atmosphere. I was sat facing the counter with my back to the door, and at times I felt that I was just in some cafe."
