About

The Empress Tea provides a refined traditional afternoon tea experience served on fine china, with options for a full vegan high tea including scones, sandwiches, and desserts. The venue features live piano music and wheelchair accessible facilities, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. While some guests find the price on the higher side and note a predominance of sweet items over savory in the vegan selection, the attentive service and quality tea variety, including alternative milks like oat and soy, stand out.
