High Societea House

Cozy antique vibe with about 8-9 tables. Food was very good, but you don’t get to choose what you get, just how much. For example, they have two scones and four sandwiches they make for the day and that’s what you get. You don’t get to pick from a list, which I haven’t seen before but is understandable to avoid food waste. Luckily they were the ones I would have chosen so it worked out for me. (I had looked at the menu online beforehand.) I got the high tea, which came with caramel and cherry scones (warm and so good), assorted savories (chicken salad sandwich, cucumber cream cheese sandwich, lemon basil cheese bread and a Brie jam tart). Everything was tasty but the chicken salad was the best. Dessert bites were ok and it came with a peach cobbler which was yum. I was glad I listened to the other reviews about the quiche. The table next to me was also not a fan. Server was super friendly and I never felt rushed. The only downside was the size of the savories. As you can see from the pictures, they really are only about 2 bites (except one was just a bite). I wasn’t expecting full sandwiches, but I thought it would at least be half a sandwich each. It was only a quarter of a sandwich, so that was the only downside. FYI- they have a 4% credit card charge. Not a huge amount, but figured I’d mention it in case anyone prefers to bring cash.

I really enjoyed the experience of coming here. The service was good and they were very attentive. I ordered the light tea, and it came with two scones, a white chocolate cranberry and a caramel one which were both served warm and with clotted cream and lemon curd. They were delicious. The tea was also excellent; I ordered the vanilla raspberry and my friend ordered the Feng shui which was also delicious. With your light tea you got a whole pot of whatever tea you select, which is enough for around 3 or 4 tea cupfulls. The quiche they served was not very good, however. It was rubbery, very tasteless and slightly cold. You have a choice between soup or salad, and I was grateful I chose the feta pear salad which was delicious, because the soup that my friends chose (tomato basil) was grainy and super acidic. I think the best part about this place is definitely the tea and scones, while the savories might not be the best. I would still return for the fun experience though.

Twice a month, I come to High Societea and have the BEST time, whether I’m catching up with my friend over scones and sandwiches or having some me time with my book and a cuppa. Their food is excellent, their service is wonderful, and the seasonal decor changes are delightful! It’s so hard to find a good tea room outside of NYC here, but grateful for this charming place!

We started my sister's bachelorette day here on Saturday. We were a group of 15 for Queen's Tea. Service was flawless and the place is adorable. Only thing is if you are vegan or have other dietary restrictions the options are extremely limited. If not, go and enjoy all the yummy treats they have to offer.

It was such a cute and quaint place! I loved having my birthday dinner here with my partner and the tea was amazing. Only issue was that my soup was cold immediately (as if it weren’t reheated all the way) and the sandwiches weren’t all that great but everything else was enjoyable. I just think they should improve the savories selection.

I've been here before twice and LOVED IT. But not this time. Food was good but portions were tiny. Service was horrible. Waitstaff was sweet but there were just too few. We waited for everything. They need to get their act together before I'd go back. It's too expensive not to be a better experience than it was.
