Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Mill Basin

I celebrated my friend's birthday at MarieBelle Cacao Bar. The atmosphere is elegant but not stuffy. Holidays lights and the chandelier add a simple elegance to the decor. The tea sandwiches were delicious. The hot cocoa was delicious and the service was superb! Kudos to the staff for always making sure our water glasses were filled and for the shots of hot cocoa for us to try. My friend's birthday was made special,by a thoughtful presentation, of a cake with candle! And the birthday song! It was much appreciated! We also couldn't resist the shop in the front and purchased the gorgeous chocolates for gifts.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we had at our high tea today. Every attention to detail in both the ambiance as well as the food. I highly recommend it.

Our time at BK High Low today was lovely! It was the perfect way to spend a birthday with good friends. We sat in the garden on the coldest day of the year but mostly were cozy beside our frozen toes, which is just the nature of being anywhere in the cold. The tea was delicious and they had such a diverse selection. The scones were fluffy and beautifully textured but we were not impressed with the sandwiches. The desserts were good but we agreed the tea and scones are the best part. I will say that we were a party of 7 outside so we were harder to reach but the service was not outstanding. All in all, I would surely recommend the Grand Vanderbilt at least once for the special experience that full afternoon tea is. It doesn't hurt that the HIgh Low's parlor spaces are so delightful! I will return again for cream tea without the extra food but I am so glad I chose BHL for our get-together:)

I have wanted to come to Lady Mendls for some time and today was the day! Yowza was it fabulous. The potato leek soup and the way in which it was presented was memorable. Still thinking about it. The sandwiches were both classic and modern and beautifully arranged. Scones and petit fours capped off the perfect tea. Deeelish! The tea selection and decision was difficult because they all sounded so good. Went with the Wonderland Roobios. So good. The staff is fabulous and attention to detail is both welcomed and impressive. Love the fun decor. Go. You will have a delightful and memorable time.

Beautifully decorated for the holidays! Really great spot to play I Spy with your date or friends/family at this time of year. Cocktails were delicious as well as the food, however the service was a little slow.
