30 The Art of Tea Reviews
The Art Of Tea is one of our favourite places for food. It has a lovely ambience, the people are very lovely and welcoming and the food and drink is absolutely spot-on. We have had the lunch menu on several occasions, but this time around we went there for an evening meal and it did not disappoint - absolutely off the scale! Fantastic.
Great atmosphere, lovely staff. Would definitely recommend it’s uniqueness, quality of food and excellent service, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting and a bonus of the book shop at the back for browsing
Such an amazing cafe, with an incredible soundtrack. The bookshop at the back is the best secondhand book shop I’ve come across in many a year. Worth a visit just for that!
Absolutley loved the kind service and beautiful atmosphere. It was quick, vintage and had beautiful coffee. Very highly recommended and perfect place to have taken my date.
The Art of Tea is in my top five places. Tom, Phil, Gina and the rest of his team make this a genuine place you automatically want to return to. It has that family feel, a proper community atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble and there's always a smile waiting. Quirky ... Just as I like it. Never had a bad meal there ...... I love the place.
Excellent restaurant. It was relatively quite as I went around 9pm on Monday which was the ideal atmosphere for me to be able to get some studying done there. The food and drinks were both fantastic - they were able to customize the order I wanted for me which was great. I'll be returning more often for sure.
We had a really nice time at The Art of Tea. The live music was good (there was a good atmosphere) and the service was friendly.
A lovely quirky corner fo breakfast - and great coffee as well as a huge tea menu. A great range of eats; toast a little underdone for my taste and as it came to the table ready buttered I felt it would be awkward to send it back - perhaps for this reason, I’d suggest butter on the side.
Art of Tea has a really nice atmosphere and the staff are lovely. Went on a Tuesday evening for the 20% off your bill offer and ordered two pizzas - 4 cheese special and goats cheese and artichoke - they were delicious. Sometimes food can take a while to come out, but it's always worth the wait.
Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Table reservation there and nice table as requested. Food took quite a long time to arrive but worth waiting for - the black pudding hash was delicious and the soup was good too. Thoroughly recommend the place.
