RICHMOND TEA ROOMS

Richmond Tea Rooms is the kind of place you want to take everyone you know, if just for the whimsical vibe that feels like you’ve fallen into a fairy tale. From gluten-free afternoon tea to a menu that could make your grandma weep with envy, the food here is as delightful as the decor. Staff like Mete and Angela bring charm and friendliness that makes you feel like a treasured guest rather than just another customer. It’s like they’ve cracked the code on how to serve tea with a side of warmth.

The cakes are absolutely massive—like, ‘do I really need to unbuckle my pants after this’ kind of massive. And let’s not even start on the themed decor that’s Instagram gold. Whether you’re there for brunch or just a cheeky slice of cake, this place nails it every time. Richmond Tea Rooms is your go-to for a cozy catch-up or an extravagant high tea; just don’t forget to book ahead, because it’s popular for a reason.
