Sisters Tea

My Mother’s Day experience was not good. Their normal afternoon tea prices went from $ 19.95 to $ 25 per person, in which you had to pay for in advance when making the reservation for Mother’s Day. That was $ 100 (with tip) for tea for 3 people. The food was disappointing and there wasn’t enough for three of us to share. I’d hoped for a special experience with my Mom, but instead I ended up apologizing and planning to make it up to her somewhere else. If you are asking your customers to pay in advance for a set menu — more than your normal price — please put a special effort into making the experience memorable and the food delicious.

This tea house is absolutely delightful! I went with a small group of coworkers looking to take a break on a particularly hectic day — Sisters Tea hit the spot! The atmosphere is quiet and darling. Collectively we ordered soups, the lunch salad, the tea sandwiches and the pot pie. Not a complaint to be had! We ordered three seasonal teas that came in generous «small» pots — the chocolate-​dipped strawberry was our favorite! While so many restaurants try to outdo one another with unique and flavorful combinations, all of our dishes were simple, fresh and delicious. The red velvet scones were perfection — slightly hard outer with a soft dry core. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderfully quaint meal!

I, too am wondering why the there’s such a poor review for such a lovely place. My mom and I had a wonderful lunch. My scone was excellent and the Devonshire crème divine. As to my pot of tea, it was plentiful and perfect! I have been to other tea rooms in other cities and this is certainly in my top 5. You will not regret a visit to Sisters Tea Room!

After giving sisters another chance I stick to my pervious review. My wife and I went there for brunch and it was disappointing. It’s really sad because I love the fact they are open on Sundays. Their food just falls short. I mean the place itself is beautiful and the service was even good but the food fell short if my expectations. I had the scotch egg and French toast both were just okay. The scotch egg was very dry but the breading was tasty. The French toast was not really French toast, more of a dense bread pudding. My wife had the quiche and she was not happy with it. It was overly salty and had no crust. We both had the scones and both of us thought they were more like a hard dry biscuit. I had the stars and strip tea and it was pretty good but it came in the smallest tea pot ever only rendering two cups. My wife got a much bigger tea pot and she also like her tea.
Overall we will not plan on returning unless we need something from the gift shop which is lovely and well priced.

Such a cute place with a ton of charm. I went for a friend’s birthday party and had such a nice time. The food was ok, however their scones are SO good. The tea itself was nice as well.
I just wish it was a bigger place… I would definitely book this for my bridal shower if it had a bigger party room :/

I’m not sure why the other review for this place is so low – I had a lovely time at Sisters Tea!
My party made reservations ahead of time, which is an absolute must. Like many tea rooms, Sisters is small, and space fills fast. The restaurant is located in the bottom floor of a house, with multiple rooms acting as dining areas. My group wound up in our own private room, which was lovely. The décor is about as adorable as you would expect, full of lace, china, and antique charm.
Now, it’s important to note that wherever one does tea, portion sizes are almost always tiny and prices high. But I still very much enjoyed my meal. I got the fresh greens salad (delicious and severed with the most adorable dressing container ever), tea sandwich sampler, and scones (I opted for one of each of their offered flavors, Irish buttermilk and lavender). Everything was quite tasty!
The only problem we had during our visit is that after being seated the servers seemed to forget about us tucked away in our little room. After a while we poked our heads out to ask for service, and then it was smooth sailing! And once we were assigned a waitress she couldn’t have been lovelier.
I would definitely go back to Sisters Tea again.
