The London Tea Room 1900 Locust Street, St. Louis, MO 63103

"Spectacular little place! Quite on the high-end scale, especially for a country boy such as myself, but the entire experience was simply FANTASTIC! Staff was super friendly and happy to help explain everything for us first-timers. We went with the high tea; it was delicious and the food was simply scrumptious! I began to melt when I tasted the salmon spread, then again when I first tried clotted cream, then yet again with each bite of the strawberry cheesecake I took. I'm quite a large man and we already had plans to grab a sandwich afterward, but although small in appearance the majority of the food was so rich and dense I was genuinely satisfied. We found out that you can get an additional pot of tea at no extra charge, and he gladly gave us to-go cups for them! Probably not a weekly expense for the average Joe, but men, let me tell you something... Get a reservation and bring your woman here. Live a little and try something out of your norm. But be careful - you just might wind up enjoying yourself drinking tea and eating fancy fingerfoods if you're not careful..!"

"My sister and I enjoyed afternoon and high tea selections. It was wonderful. Thomas, our server answered all our questions and provided prompt service. The autumn chicken salad on croissant was our favorite. I especially enjoyed the clotted cream. As an avid Great British Bake Off I have always wondered what clotted cream taste like! Enjoying a personal pot of tea with lumps of sugar - divine! A very nice afternoon outing!"

"I really wanted to like this place going in. It looked fun in reviews. As I found out saying that they're open until 4pm is extremely misleading, I was there at 3:05pm and they wouldn't seat me saying they closed down kitchen at 3pm. The lady and young man working there were very nice and attentive. I did get a cup of tea to go and it was perfectly brewed and delicious. I looked at the assorted teas on shelves, and while they have lovely selections the prices are exorbitantly high. A bag of tea that I can buy for $10-15 here they marked at $80. The biggest disappointment was scones. I didn't want heated/hot thinking they would be at room temperature. They were rock hard frozen. Clearly not fresh, even when I did reheat them there was noticeable stale taste. Sad. It ruined the desire to come back to this place."

"I really can’t say enough about the London Tea Room. It’s a truly unique experience that makes for a great environment for meeting with friends or family. My wife and I tried the afternoon tea set menu and we each picked a tea. While I think all the teas sounded great, we had the Canadian Vicar and the Royal Wedding tea. If you like floral teas, then definitely try the royal wedding! The afternoon tea menu was great! All the little sandwiches were fresh and flavorful. I never thought I would like a curry chicken salad on a mini croissant for brunch, but it hit the spot! The cucumber sandwich and the salmon cream cheese mini bagel were also on point. You’re gonna wanna pace yourself with the scone if you want to save room for the desert plate, and while the desserts were very tasty, I think next time we’ll stick to ordering High Tea next time. I highly recommend getting reservations!!!"
