I’ve never felt so unwelcomed & uncomfortable in a place before. My friends and I walked in around 4. We ordered a cake, a couple cups of tea, and quiches. They served us everything with PLASTIC CUPS AND PLATES WITHOUT UTENSILS. We thought it might be because we came close to their closing time but they served the person after us with proper plates and utensils. No cute cups, no service, nothing. The tea was okay and the food was average. Disappointing.

We had such good memories of this place from 3 years ago. We were so excited to go back once we moved back to Atlanta. However, this place lost it completely. Never mind the fact that you can’t have high tee on site unless you rent out the whole place. We were happy to do the picnic boxes to go. But only until we opened the boxes. The food was pitiful and our tea bags missing. So we only had hot water to drink. The sandwiches were tiny and made with hard croutons instead of crustless bread. The desserts were dried out and the size of a quarter. Not at all what we used to get when eating on site. Also, we got our text message saying the food was ready for pickup. However, we still had to wait over 20 minutes for them to assemble our picnic boxes. Needless to say that the experience was less than satisfying. We will unfortunately not go back again. What a shame. Our favorite place has gone down the drain. And it’s not a staffing or supply chain problem. It’s definitely a management problem. They are using the pandemic as a sorry excuse for lowering their standards.

Cute, antique little place for a date or brunch. The tea was great and the food items, as far as flavor, were very well prepared. We had the Carolina tea combo. The only downside was the portion of the sandwiches, which was literally just one bite. In my opinion other tea shops offer a much more reasonable quantity. Apart from that, it’s a lovely experience, and the scones are excellent here.

This was disappointing and over priced. They call this a contactless event and it was, no one checked in with us for the entire event. They set out the lukewarm tea and the individual nibbles and disappeared. When we needed silverware, we …

Yes! We do change them up periodically (just like our regular pastries!) so just ask what we're offering that day!

Is Handicapped Parking available? Is the entrance nearby with no steps, or only a few steps? Thanks.

Hi! Unfortunately we do not have our own lot, so it is all side street parking. There are no steps to the door though, just a curb. There sometimes is parking available right at our front door, after 4 p.m. on weekdays and anytime on the weekend!

No, but there should be room on the side streets around the area.

Could we have a gathering for 30 people at Dr Bombay's? We're looking for a place for a baby shower.
