I can't rate the food as of yet because I'm gluten free and that's not part of their usual fare, but Will told us that if I let him know I'm coming he'll have something for me.The atmosphere is lovely, this little tucked away space, like a secret gem. Lots of plants, mostly music in French, lot of wood based on the construction. Mostly outdoor seating with some protection from the wind.Will is the sweetest and most accommodating guy I've met. He knows his teas and you can tell him what you're looking for, and he'll be happy to mix you a blend. He's so friendly and happy to connect to folks. For LGBTQ+ folks, he's good people (I frequently bring my dates here). I always feel taken care of her...
I like the place and the atmosphere. Less than enamored by the service/dining experience unfortunately. They ran out of clotted cream, which sucks but I guess is understandable, but neither did I receive butter or jelly/jam, which is a bit off putting.They also ran out of pesto so no tomatoes and cucumber sandwich. No big deal there, maybe just a bit disappointing; so I orderedthe chicken salad and turkey and cheese. I received tuna salad instead. The food was tasty regardless so I didn't complain butsimple service was a bit of a let down. Also dry scones are not fun. That aside. I definitely recommend going. The atmosphereis very pleasant (for the most part). The tea selection is robust and...
Will, his mom, niece and the staff are amazing. I always feel such a warm welcome when I visit. I've visited this place for the last several years and still have some loose leaf teas I'm still going through. It's a very chill place for tea time or enjoying some me time on the patio. Occasionally, I come here for a nice catch up with friends. Recently, we had a baby shower for work and they were accommodating. We were able to set up some decor prior to guest arrivals. There were plenty of teas, sandwiches, salads and baked goods to go around. My favorite was the spiced cookies and the jam! Also, they have specialty chocolates which is a nice treat to get.
Just discovered this gem when an English friend flew into town, and we wanted proper high tea. It exceeded our wildest expectations — huge selection of fantastic tea, delicious scones and jam made in house, perfect egg salad on super fresh greens and exquisite hand made truffles and honey. The owner’s passion and knowledge for tea and baking was extraordinary — and he generously educated us on everything from steeping tea to infusing honey to flavoring truffles. (If you are gluten free and want a baked item call in advance). Can’t wait to return!

You can enjoy your tea hot or iced, both options are absolutely delightful! Leland also offers lovely outdoor seating and bar seating inside. I really enjoy coming here for a pot of tea while getting some work done. The atmosphere can be as productive or as relaxed as you desire.
Lovely and charming owner whom my friend and I really enjoy having a conversation with. The food was delicious, tea ingredients and flavour was thoughtfully put together and the scones! I usually hate scones but these were moist and fluffy. Seating outsidewas also super pleasant and spacious (enough to fit strollers too). Loved everything about this place! Would recommend andwould definitely come back when in the Bay Area!
Tucked away and somewhat exotic setting. One of very few places in the Peninsula where you can order high tea with sandwiches and scones. Everything was good. The chicken, tuna and egg salads are homemade. The service is very friendly. One less starbecause the cucumber sandwiches--usually a favorite of mine--were a little disappointing and the clotted cream wasn't homemade.
This is an incredibly charming place for an upscale tea experience. I attended an event here, and the back patio is almost ideal for celebrating a friend's mom's birthday. The selection of finger sandwiches was just what you'd hope for, and the teas were outstanding. The staff were exceptionally kind and personable. Food: 5/5

A tea room hidden behind a downtown Burlingame parking lot serving an eclectic collection of teas with scones and sandwiches; great portion/pot size of tea. The hot chocolate was also great. Very friendly family run businesses too!
I stopped by for some tea and left with a wonderful experience. Food: 5/5.
