The details were a feast for the eyes, everywhere they landed - - the table, the walls, the shelves. The service was extraordinary - - attentive and gracious. The food was delicious and very labor intensive to create. The teas were unusual and made all three of us laugh with delight as we tasted them.

It was the most amazing time with my niece. Staff was above and beyond generous, kind, and very, very enthusiastic! Definitely somewhere I would like to go again. Portions were perfect and just the ambience and setting was relaxing and calm.

My wife and I had a wonderful time enjoying afternoon tea at the Proper Shoppe. The shop was beautifully decorated creating a seasonal ambiance that changes each month adding an additional festive flair to the experience. The staff was a delight, providing warm and attentive service through out our stay. Then there was the food, creative and carefully crafted offerings paired with a well curated tea list making our afternoon tea as enjoyable as any we were treated to in Great Britain. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
