    This is the most delightfully curated English Tea house. England and Jane Austin themes are everywhere. The loose leaf teas are fantastic and the blends are made by the owner. The high tea food was amazing and the scones were Real English scones. They melt in your mouth. I highly recommend the Sotherton Tea House experience. It is very unique in the greater Sacraments and Roseville area.

    Happy Birthday for my Niece! What a delightful experience. They were very accommodating of my allergy and presented a nice Birthday treat. My only complaint is that I wish they served more Coronation Chicken sándwiches. It was yummy.

    It was such an amazing experience. Their tea is phenomenal and pairs well with the food they serve. After going once, I immediately booked another tea service.

    Staff was friendly and accommodating. They let us know if we needed GF to add it to the notes in the reservation so they can plan. They were still able to accommodate and communicated with us the whole time. Always a wonderful experience.

    Too pricey for the food they serve. $186.00 for sandwiches and tea for 4 people is way over market value. The need to collect credit card information for a no show is ridiculous and outrageous. The mentioning of “well, we have to buy the food and prepare it” is just bad business. We won’t be returning.

    This is an amazing tea experience! Food, service and ambiance was classy and exquisite! Ingrid took wonderful care of our group that was celebrating my mother in law’s 95th birthday. We’ve been to tea rooms across the country try and this was by far the best!!
