In Short
Though it serves more than 100 teas along with all the accoutrements--scones, baked goods, and sandwiches ranging from traditional cucumber and watercress to creative combos like cumin-spiced carrots with olive tapanade and goat cheese--this leaf-lovers paradise is not for tea only. The breakfast menu lists eggs and waffles, while pasta and pizza make an appearance at lunch and dinner for a more substantial meal. Still, private tea parties are the most popular draw.

I went in with my friend and we were so impressed by the friendly faces, beautiful decor and colorful accessories which add to the character of this quaint little cafe. It's like the book itself...2nd chapter... Customer service is always good, waitresses have warm smiles and friendly characters. The soups and muffins are really good...fresh, full of taste and good portions. The jam and clotted cream is made with so much care and attention... The salads were light, crunchy and full of wonderful ingredients that fuse together. The carrot and cumin salad left me wanting more... As for the selection of tea...i was as stunned by the many flavors as i was with the decorative plates, saucers and cups. Even the teapots themselves are so colorful. Every time i go there, i get a different teapot...a different taste...and always a friendly smile. Whether you like soup, salads or something sweet, Alice's Tea Cup has created a warm inviting place for everyone to experience. See you there :)

I have sooo enjoyed eating at Alice's, the decor is entertaining; the music is always "on" in the background. It is fun watching the special food come out on the tall trays. Service can be casual when busy. but it gives us the time to enjoy. Staff is incredibly welcoming and warm. The wait is worth the warm chocolate cake. I enjoy the knowledgeable recommendations about the tea. As a single woman, I've enjoyed the tea infused cocktails and meeting my dates there. I have discovered breakfast at Alice's is incredible and there is no wait.

This is an adorable little cafe where they serve a variety of teas; as you might guess from the name of the place, it's Alice (of Wonderland fame) inspired. We went on a Friday mid-morning so it was pretty empty; the service was surprisingly slow but we weren't in a hurry so it was not a problem.
