I happened upon this place by accident. My fiancee was looking at wedding dresses downstairs and I was relegated to the tea shop upstairs so I wouldn't see anything.

Its not the type of place I would usually go to, the associated shops downstairs with their crystal, art, and silver just wasn't my cup of tea (har har).

The white table linens, fresh flowers on the table and the large windows give this place a very relaxed and classy atmosphere. The service staff were knowledgable, friendly, and very timely. Granted, while I was there, it was just me and some Indian official and his FBI bodyguard.

I had the strawberry oolong which was quite refreshing and the aroma mild but very pleasant. The hot water refills were prompt, ensuring I always had tea.

I also had a gigantic piece of cake, I can't remember exactly what it was called. Some sort of layered sponge cake with a sweet frosting and pieces of caramel.

All told, it cost a little under $12 to sit for 45 minutes, drink tea, and read the news on their free wi-fi. I could make a habit out of this for lazy sunny weekends, if I lived closer.

We have since returned for their Christmas event with our daughter to have breakfast and then meet Santa, lovely.

I adore The Watts Tea Shop. I stop in every chance I get. There is something truly magical about its location, its atmosphere and its food. I find the staff to be very polite and professional. And the food is always delicious and amazing. The prices are in the moderate range and I'm always satisfied with the serving size. I recommend it to everyone I know.

Extremely disappointing service!! I went to Watts Tea Shop to purchase tea for my parents as a Christmas gift. Upon entering the shop to purchase tea, I was greeted by a terribly rude employee who was uninterested in assisting me. When I asked about tea choices, the employee threw a menu at me, disrespectfully told me how busy he was and walked away. He returned after a long wait and impatiently asked if I had chose the teas I wanted – after I gave him my order he said “I can’t get all those, I am too busy right now. Can you come back tomorrow?” I was in utter shock; not until he noticed his co-worker had witnessed the horribly poor customer service and me walking to the exit did the man holler across the room “can you wait another five minutes?” I can confidently say I will never return to Watts Tea for any reason.
