F.A.Q.s
Frequently Asked Questions- What is Afternoon Tea?
- Afternoon tea is a delicious three-course meal served on a tiered stand. It’s a filling meal that is sure to satisfy even the most voracious appetites! The bottom tier is full of hearty savories that can include different types of unique sandwiches and quiche. The middle tier holds freshly baked warm scones with fruit preserves and devon cream The top tier overflows with delicious and decadent sweets and desserts guaranteed to leave a smile on all our guests. And of course a pot of tea!
- What is a Themed Tea?
- Throughout the year, we offer special themed tea services. While we will always remain an Alice in Wonderland tea room, our food and desserts will be inspired from other great characters in literature or popular culture. (We wish we could transform the decor for each special event!)
- Do I need to make reservations to dine in the Tea Room
- For our Afternoon tea, Themed tea and Nursery tea service, reservations are required. We currently do not accept walk-ins.
- Can you accommodate food allergies and dietary preferences?
- We can accommodate certain allergies / dietary preferences with 48 hours notice. However, please note that our kitchen does process the following: flour, dairy, eggs, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, meat and more. If you have a life threatening condition due to food allergy, we do not recommend eating the food.
- Can we share an Afternoon Tea or Themed Tea service?
- We have designed our tea service to be enough food for one person. If you would like to share, then we will be obliged to charge you a shared plate fee of. We really appreciate your understanding of this annoying policy.
- Do you offer parties or large group options?
- Due to Covid19, we currently do not offer party or large group options. We can accommodate up to 6 people total. Please note that this is a very strict regulation and we will not be able to combine tables or even sit apart large groups. Do not make double reservations to get away from the regulation - you will not be able to sit with your friends and you won't be able to even see them. Thank you for your understanding and helping up keeping everyone safe and happy.
- Do you offer character meet and greet? do your employees wear costumes?
- We don’t dress like Wonderland characters or have characters to meet at our locations. While we find it uncomfortable to work in a costume, we are happy when customers visit us dressed as their favorite character.
- Is the Alice in Wonderland experience like a Disneyworld or Disneyland Experience?
- Alice in the Village has no affiliation with Disney. We are a Tea Room and we do not offer a “Disney experience” like rides or attractions.
- Can my child get a kids meal if he/she are older than the maximum age on the kids menu?
- Due to COVID-19 our tearoom capacity was reduced drastically. As any other restaurant and small business these days, we are doing everything we can to survive until this crisis ends. As every seat and every dollar we make counts and help us stay in business we made a decision that we need to charge an adult rate from any person 10 years and older. We can provide a kids meal if needed, but if you are 10 years old and older, you will be charged an adult rate for indoor dining.

I was online looking at pricing and it was 33 per adult wasn’t explaining pricing and paid I think the concept is cute but overpriced I think there should be an option of sweets and tea!! I spent 180 and felt that was overpriced for 3 adults and a 5 year old!

This was a fabulous experience! Four 12&13 y/o girls all loved it and felt "so fancy", while my husband and I very much enjoyed ourselves, and the food, as well! Our "tweedle" (server) was fun, attentive, and just helped to make the experience great as well!

Such a delightful experience that truly was magical as my sister celebrated her birthday. As adults performing tasks to create potions , we giggled but had a small amount of wonder to question would the potion work. For 90 minutes or so, we were transported to a different world and will have an amazing memory. Our host was beyond amazing and accommodating. We can’t say enough good things. I have already shared the experience today with coworkers and they are already excited to check this out.

Absolutely loved the whole dining experience! We were supposed to go to Walt Disney World for our daughter’s 18th birthday on July 4 but due to coronavirus that had to be canceled and she’s a huge Disney fan.she has two medical diseases so it limits her as to what she can do so going to Alice in the village just made her 18th birthday magical. Highly recommend this place!

was wonderful !! Our little girls ages 5 & 6 fell in love with her. She was so nice & attentive. The food looked beautiful but didn’t taste as good as it looked. The tea was lukewarm. The seats the girls sat on kept sliding back & forth. Overall they had a great time & it was a nice experience.

This was our first visit to Alice, and I am sure that in pre-COVID-19 times, things were different so we have to make a return trip. The food was perfect. Well presented, tasty and a lovely variety.
The shop just lacked character and atmosphere. It needed more decorating touches to lose the feel of being in a modern shop front. I hate drinking from paper cups too, but I understand the need right now.
Hope to go back and get a real feel for the place next year. Our server was excellent, by the way. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Thank you.

This place is perfect. My friends and I could not have been happier. It's the perfect place to dine out and feel safe while doing so. The food was so delicious I even liked things I wouldn't usually care for, like chicken salad, and the portions and variety were perfect. We will be going back for the next themed tea, I promise!

We went during COVID-19 and were blown away by their safety precautions. I highly recommend this place.

We had a great time at the Foxboro location! We got there early and was able to sit down early. The manager wore gloves and mask the whole time and made us feel completely comfortable dining in during these Covid times. The food was excellent, cute and filing. The restaurant was adorable and we took plenty of pictures. The manager offered to take pictures of us as well and was very kind. After our lunch, we took home some bubble tea and macaroons. The bubble tea was another experience! Every time i popped a bubble, it made me smile and laugh! Definitely a must try! I can't wait to bring more of my family back next time! My only suggestion would be taller tables, though I understand that a lot of children come and the shorter tables work for them. Thank you for a great experience!

I was very disappointed. You only get to select from 3 tea flavors when they have over 100 and you don’t get to select what you want to eat. They select it for you. Very expensive for tea. I feel like I was ripped off

Alice in the Village was smaller than I thought it would be. Eventhough, it is a fun place to go. I think when it is able to be at full capacity it would be quite noisy. The waitress did an excellent job, and was truly delightful. I would definitely return for other special events. We were there for the Willie Wonka Tea, and will be coming back for the Wizard's tea.

We went there for the first time yesterday for afternoon tea and we LOVED it! Our server, Hailey, was the kindest and happiest person. :) She thoroughly explained the menu and walked us through everything. She really went above and beyond for us. The food was delicious and there was such a great variety. We loved the level of detail that the tea, food, service, ambiance, etc. had. We really thought the Alice in Wonderland theme was spot on! If there was one area of improvement then my only recommendation would be to carry the theme into the bathrooms by painting similar colors or painting a cheshire cat or something. Some might think that is silly but I think it would be cute to do. :)

I made reservations for the wizard high tea for myself, a friend, my mother, and daughter. We all had a great time. My daughter is 4 and was amazed by the whole experience. She especially loved the “potion making” at the end. The food and tea was delicious and we had to box much of it up because there was so much! The staff was extra friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back someday!

My daughters and I (4 adults) went for my daughters birthday. Overall our experience was great because just the idea of a tea party is fun. However we were slightly disappointed that the staff didn’t dress the part. I guess we were expecting them to be dressed up as characters. As well as slightly disappointed in the decor. Aside from that there was plenty of food and the tea was hot and delicious. Worth the $ and we are happy that we tried it.

Service was like the kind you get at a diner. Service was not experienced. Tea service was served with PAPER to go cups (nice but still paper), Obviously chipped tea kettles (all the way down the side chipped, at the spout chipped). The server didn’t even think to ask or bring sugar. The food was subpar. Our cucumber sandwiches was made with a dinner roll!? Not everything on the menu online was offered and that was not mentioned- I had to bring it up. COVID was the excuse but that didn’t make sense in the context of what was asked. My kids expect the drink me drink where you get a little vial of coloring to change the color of you tea (think they called it butterfly tea) It’s a gimmick but that’s why we pay for. If not going to serve it- don’t put it on the menu.
When I asked for milk it was brought in a paper to go cup. Not single serve milk containers in a bowl or something like that. If you are going the disposable route with sugar packets, paper cups, plastic plates and all- be consistent.
We have been to other local high tea places recently and they serve high tea on real plates , real silverware (we had gold plasticware here), real bone china tea cups (not chipped BTW) and with real tea sandwiches. Lovely little single serve sugar cubes, all the condiments without asking.
Our tea was served in paper to go cups at this place. Don’t get me wrong- the plasticware and disposable plates/cups were nice. Anyone who drinks tea knows tea does not take good in paper cups.
It is the only place that takes little kids though. It’s a cute place but didn’t meet our expectations.
