Best Afternoon Tea Restaurants in North Reading

Excellent food and ambience. Staff was very kind and attentive, especially after an incident with orange juice. The entrance to the cafe is adorable and I love the bookshop! Hope to come back!!

Delicious and delightful! This restaurant is an absolute gem. Our group of five all agreed we cannot wait to return. The craft cocktails, stunning brunch appetizers, scrumptious brunch entrées… It was all perfect. Everything was gracious. Five stars just aren’t enough.

Everything was fantastic! From the person who seated us and patiently accommodated our indecision about where to sit to our server and the other staff who assisted, we had a lovely evening. The food was delicious and served fresh and hot, in just the right amount of time after we ordered. Our server, Danielle, was so pleasant and attentive from start to finish. Our second round of drinks took a bit long to arrive but the restaurant was busy at that point. Excellent quality of food and drink and portion sizes too. We also greatly appreciated the intimate atmosphere, and especially no loud music (that has become a problem at many restaurants). This was our first visit and it won't be our last; we're just sorry we waited so long to try The Buttery.

It's always lovely to have tea in an actual tea room, and this one pulls out all stops. The table settings are vintage, the service impeccable, and the food delicious and varied. They charge an extremely reasonable price and give a perfect amount of food -- I never feel stuffed after. It's lovely and elegant. I will always go back!

High tea, close to home! Can’t beat it! Could make the tea a bit stronger.
