Ivy Tea House

Update as of April 2021: still love this place! They practice social distancing and are operating under limited hours so you have to reserve afternoon tea in advance. Still worth it. Can't wait for this place to go back to a normal schedule so that I can have afternoon tea during the week as well. ---------- I love this place so much! I am SO glad that there's a local and reasonably priced place that provides afternoon tea and high tea. I really enjoyed their Ivy Cream Afternoon Tea service. All of the savories and sweets are fresh and delicious. I prefer the Afternoon Tea to their High Tea menu but to each their own. My favorite tea is the Luscious London. My favorite savory is their cucumber sandwich (they jazz it up a bit). Their scones are amazing. I just wish there was A LOT of clotted cream available but it's probably good that they limit it too because I would slather it on. This is a perfect place for a baby shower, small bridal shower, or a ladies get together.

It was very difficult to plan an out of state coed baby shower and Tammy, one of the owners, kept giving me assurances it would be perfect.… and it was! Even with a few hiccups along the planning process you promised it would be amazing. Thank you Tammy, for the amazing food, teas, and tea infused cocktails. ( you were right, the mint juleps were amazing!) Your entire team went above and beyond and for that I’m incredibly grateful. Everything was displayed so beautifully and tasted even better! The special touch of including spa tea towers for our vegan guests was incredible customer service and appreciated. I would also love to give an extra huge kudos and thanks to your Mom. Gigi was exceptional and such a delight every moment the evening of our private event, thank you Gigi. We received rave reviews from all in attendance about the entire experience. Tammy, I’m grateful to your dedication and looking forward to seeing you all again for a delicious experience. Your tea house is beautiful and I encourage all to host their events at your facility.

I am so sad that you are only offering catering and private events. Your gluten free low sugar high tea options were extremely delicious. I have NEVER had a gluten free scone as great as yours. The little meatballs and the glass noodles were amazing. The sweet potatoes! I was hoping to bring my mom for her birthday. I will keep checking back.

From making the reservation to tea tasting, everything was perfect! Enjoyed a great time with my ladies. Beautiful weather, cozy atmosphere, aroma tea, and delicious food all were superb. I highly recommend coming to Ivy Tea House! It’s located in downtown norcross, parking in the back or on the street, convenient to walk around downtown. Great for family gatherings, ladies gatherings, or date. Service was excellent! Every tea and food were prep in details.

Gigi was wonderful… offering fabulous ideas on what would pair nicely with the teas. Not to mention the scrumptious food that was truly amazing. I am so sad I can’t take the tea house back to Wyoming with me. Make reservations to have high tea. So many sweet and savory treats to share. Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Gigi!

We had the best experience at Ivy Tea House for my daughter Ivy's 5th birthday party! Service, food, atmosphere, teas, and cake were superb!! All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and they were even able to accommodate an activity area for the kids and our surprise guest, Elsa! We highly recommend for your next event or visit! We will be back!

This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful and made with love! The owner and entire staff are a pleasure to work with and are all very accommodating. The atmosphere and scene are both beautiful. I would have other events here.

We hosted a bridal shower at the Ivy Tea house and it was perfect! The food was delicious, the venue is quaint, homey, comfy....and, service was amazing!, thanks Maureen and Ginger for making the event successful!

This spot books out way in advance so I was really excited to try it. I give the food 4 stars and pastries/service 2-3 stars We had a table outside which I thought was odd not to be asked or reserved for inside when it was cold outside. Luckily we had blankets in our car. I think adding a rug under the table wouldn't been a nice touch. The server/hostess I believe she's the owner but I'm not sure what her name was. She was an older lady, nice but snotty. Couldn't put my finger on it, I felt like an inconvenience at times. Food was all delicious, all the savory was great. We did the Thailand and Abundance teas. Everything savory we ate was outstanding. The pastries and scones weren't great. Pastries were meh, nothing to write home about. The scones weren't scones. They were tiny little bites and tasted like hockey pucks. The cream that came with the scones tasted like mayo and cheese, it was gross. Service was okay. We were just given the food so it wasn't much serving and attention going on. We finished our tea and since we paid in advance we just left. It's a super cute space for events and to have a tea but based on the pastries and service I won't be rushing back.

Delicious! Elegant! Lovely! Ivy tea house is a complete tea experience. It was the perfect place to catch up with one of my dearest friends. The ambiance is a calming tone. Service was personalized based on pre order, which is really unique. Our food was beautifully displayed upon our arrival. I would definitely love to eat in the outdoor area or host an event there at some time in the future. I enjoyed my personal kettle of tea which stayed on a warmer and the food was filling and perfectly paired for tea. Highly recommend this experience!

What you need to know: High tea is amazing here, the have an outdoor area for when the weather's nice, they do events, GET A RESERVATION, they have seasonal menus which are phenomenal, ask for Aranthza, watch out for the parking lot - not the smoothest. Came here on a recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Their seasonal menu (Thai) for the Fall was so tasty, and their teas were so flavorful. The tea experts knew more about tea and the food than I thought possible and were incredible in helping us to get the most of our experience. If you want a solid high tea with friends, look no further. If you want to kick it up a notch, check out their seasonal menu which is always sure to knock your socks off. Service is top notch as well - ask for Aranthza

Such an interesting experience for high tea. There was a canopy outside that had nice twinkling lights to accommodate the 7 of us. I'm not a tea person, but I can most definitely appreciate Ivy Tea House's unique blend of teas: earl gray creme, chai, and some others I cannot remember. I remember the earl gray creme the most as it was one of the first ones our group tried. It was also memorable bc you could smell the creme in this one before even tasting it. There might have been 4 teas in total (?) with refills. Most of the girls in the group choose the seasonal-summer while the others had the vegetarian (which is spa?) and southern brunch (the chicken sausage balls were good) options. The seasonal-summer had salmon as the main item along with some turkey meatballs that were rather dry. The small salmon piece was somewhat juicy and wasn't over-cooked. Though the meatballs sat atop a bed of hummus, it didn't do much to help with the dryness. The poached shrimp with the pesto farro was interesting: textures, colors, flavors. One of the girls doesn't really eat shrimp, but she commented that these were good. I had similar opinions. And somehow the wild mushroom flat bread was served (I don't think it was a part of what we all chose) which was good as well. There were only 5 pieces for 7 gals, but the half that I sampled was pretty flavorful. I really loved the chai tiramisu and orange almond rosewater cake; these were superb desserts. Both were super moist and tasty. The baklava scones were pretty decent as well not being too dry. Some cons: Some of the tea cups had lipstick stains, but it doesn't mean that their dishware weren't put thru the wash (as they commented). The flies were super attracted to our sweets so they were a constant pest. Even with the fan blowing slightly at our table, they were still very persistent. I guess the girls didn't expect to become full or at least content with the food that came out, but we were thoroughly content when we left. I suppose the pretty presentation and colors filled our eyes. :) And I guess all the teas we sampled helped fill us as well. Parking was towards the back of the house-like building. You can also park on the street which seems to be free.

What an experience! First off, the owner, Tammy is OUTSTANDING, accommodating and an outstanding chef! My friend and I planned a friend's baby shower here and we were really surprised at how things turned out. We reserved a date online, but also went to visit the tea house, to get a true visual of the location and for decorating purposes. We had a party of 13 and Tammy was nice enough to sit with us in person and discuss the menu options. She also helped us determine which menu options would fill our parties bellies. She also gave us the inside scoop of her new 'Summer Menu', which we knew immediately, we had to have! After meeting with her, we were really confident that this event would go off without any hiccups! The day we arrived for the shower, her staff of young ladies were extremely helpful, they all made sure we had everything we needed to set up our decorations, fans, supplies, etc. you name it, they had it! Prior to our event starting, Tammy came out and spoke to us about how and when the food & tea's would be brought out and provided any additional updates we needed to know about. **THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We opted for the Seasonal Summer & Southern Brunch! Every single thing on both menu's were absolutely delicious and flavorful! The salmon was nice and flaky, the chicken meatballs were divine, the desserts were delicious. The TOMATO PIES ARE OUTSTANDISHLY FLAKY AND DELICIOUS! Get those to go if you can lol! *The tea! We had the Mint tea and the Jazmine Hibiscus hot teas which were absolutely delicious! We also had homemade lemonade, made by Tammy's mom, and mint tea. The beverages weren't overly sweetened which I can appreciate and the iced tea's had the perfect amount of ice, to not water down all the flavors. The Ivy Tea House is a gem, definitely an experience you'll always remember. Order anything, I don't really think you can go wrong. But just make sure to get the tomato pie's if you can! lol! The staff is outstanding, the food, the experience, the tea, the vintage tea house, everything, is definitely a labor of love and you can feel it when you're there. Thank you ladies for an outstanding experience!

High Tea please! I can't believe I never knew Ivy Tea House existed in Atlanta until my friend hosted her birthday party here last January 2020. It's a super cute little house in historic downtown Norcross and houses plenty of tea parties for every group, from 2 to a party! The high tea sandwich options are so cute! Our package allowed us to pay $27 per person (not including tax or tip) and we got some many little tea sandwiches and desserts to snack on. We also got to choose a variety of teas (the list is SUPER extensive, y'all!!) and you will definitely find the tea for you, for sure! They blend all their own teas, which is super cool! Based on what I see on Facebook/social media, they're still operating with limited hours for walk-in's and reservations required for high tea. They do have a walk in menu with different offerings - so if you want to experience the tea, I suggest you make a reservation! Can't wait to come back when COVID dies down for more high tea - in the meantime, maybe I'll pick up a picnic platter to go!!

First off this experience of High tea brunch was a sweet one. I've always wanted to go to a tea party. But this was a shocker. The food was exceptional, phenomenal, and a delight. The chunk berry tea was creamy goodness. To add a little extra touch of sweetness they have powdered honey that can be added to any drink. The food OMG was tooooooo good to be true. Everything and I mean everything was soooo tasty and filling. I could not believe how filling & flavorful the bites were. The staff was so nice and attentive. They were truly one of a kind. I can assure you no other tea house could out tea Ivy Tea house! The ambience was rustic but chic. You can choose to sit inside or outside. It was my friends birthday that was the reason for the visit. I have a video of the food but it won't let me post a video

Get ready to raise your pinky as you sip soothing tea~ Ivy Tea House is located in downtown Norcross. It's a small blue house with 2 main rooms that fits about 30 people and a bathroom. And most importantly, plenty of parking in the back of the building. Hours are a bit limited- from 11AM to 4PM from Wed to Fri (walk ins available) and 11AM to 4PM on Saturdays (Reservations only). Would highly recommend planning a month in advance if you want to snag one of the weekend slots. Reservations are made on Ivy Tea House website and they will get back to you. You'll have 3 days before the reserved date to provide the final headcount and details. Cancellation after that incurs $15 per person cancellation fee. For our visit, we had the Ivy Afternoon Tea. You get 2 of each food items per person so you don't have to fight for it. For the Ivy Afternoon Tea, you can choose 3 savories from their list of options and we had chosen salmon toast, avocado toast, and the chicken salad profiterole. We LOVED the salmon toast! It's a must choose item. Avocado toast was pretty good, but majority of our party wasn't a fan of the chicken salad profiterole. Lemon squares were a tad too sweet for me but the fruit and the cream puffs were a good ending. As for the tea, each person gets their own pot. We chose a tea selection from each category and rotated so that everyone can taste it - caffeine free, low caffeine, medium caffeine, and high caffein. Overall, my personal preference was the low caffeine tea, Vanilla Berry Truffle. Southern Peach was strong, but good. Wasn't a fan of Luscious London, which was way too strong. Paradise Island is a pretty pink tea, but had a bit of a weird aftertaste for me. Loved our time here! Felt very cozy inside, staff were friendly, and a good place to enjoy each other's company and chit chat while eating bite sized treats. Oh and once weather permits, they also have a cute outdoor seating as well. Definitely a solid high tea place if you don't want to make that drive out to Dr. Bombay's or not looking to over splurge at one of the hotel high teas like Astor Court.

I booked online and enjoyed ordering ahead and having everything prepared for when we arrived. The food was delicious and plentiful. The tea stayed warm the entire time even though we were outside on a chilly Halloween afternoon. I liked the table setting and how the food was displayed. I think the outside area could use a little sprucing up and our teacups had cracks. It went with the shabby chic vibe, but my Asian guests were not pleased about the cracks and chips as it is disrespectful to serve tea like that in our culture. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will absolutely be back. The best part was the food for me. I ordered the afternoon tea 1 and 2 for variety. My favorites were the chicken salad profiteroles, salmon tea sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, and veggie pinwheels.

Excellent food that you can taste every single fresh ingredient! The host is very pleasant and run as a small local business. The cake, tea time, was a dance for the tastebuds. Great place to host an intimate party.

Great place to get tea! The reservation process is kind of confusing--you have to purchase a tea on Paypal before you know whether there is availability for your reservation, but refer to the website as they do tend to keep it pretty up to date with what days are full. There were 3 adults and 1 child in our group so I ordered the kids tea and then 3 different teas for the adults (southern, abundance, and their seasonal spring tea) thinking it would be the best way to try a variety of food. Boy was I right! They brought out two overflowing trays of food and everything was delicious. I feel like you really can't go wrong with any of their teas as all the accompaniments were equally good. We are not big tea drinkers, but the lemon meringue and earl grey creme in particular were delicious. There was some confusion upon arrival as no employees were anywhere to be seen but once we did receive service it was great. Definitely recommend for a nice afternoon.

Didn't expect to find this high quality of a tea house in Norcross. Had the Southern high tea for $38 per person (reservation in advance required) which exceeded my expectation. I frequently enjoy afternoon tea at Astor Court and tried lots of afternoon tea places in ATL (Dr. Bombay, Waldorf Astoria, Rose Tipple) but this is far the best. Really enjoyed every little item on the food tower. Scone was fantastic. One of the best I've had. Had the oolong formosa and was great with the food. Service was friendly and good. Ambiance is rustic southern house feel to it. Definitely would like to return.

Never knew this place existed! But I do believe it is fairly new. The reservation process is interesting because you actually place your order online, whether it is afternoon tea or high tea. There are currently four options for high tea -- a seasonal tea called Spring High Tea, a Southern Brunch High Tea, an Abundance High Tea and a Spa High Tea -- the last one being a vegan friendly, healthier option. I saw that the Spring High Tea menu was French-inspired as part of their global traveler series, so my friend and I opted for that one. The menu consisted of: * Goat cheese tart with chicken paillard, roasted peas, tarragon * Petite quiche with rosemary ham, tomato jam, brie, arugula * Salade niçoise with shrimp, asparagus, olives, baby potatoes * Lavender lemon poppy scones * Pistachio french macarons * Blackberry frangipane tartlet You can choose between regular, vegetarian or gluten-free for each menu and then you choose your tea. I'm not certain, but if you are dining with someone else, I think you'd have to choose the same menu, otherwise they'd count as separate reservations. Not sure how it would work with parties of 2 or more that opt for different menus. Because you are making your selections online as part of the reservation process, you also pre-pay during this time. I also found this interesting because you can request your desired date, but the owner must contact you to confirm that date. They do list dates that are fully booked on the website, I assume to prevent you from selecting that date during the booking process. So basically, you are paying for a reservation that is not 100% confirmed yet. I strongly suggest paying attention to their list of booked dates to avoid any delays in the reservation process. There is also a place on the website to pre-pay your tip, or you can Venmo them. In my case, I impatiently emailed the owner to confirm the dates myself, as a few days had passed and I hadn't heard from them yet (made the booking on a Friday and reached out to them by the following Wednesday, and they did respond that day). Now onto the food. I really enjoyed the menu, for the most part. I got the Southern Peach tea to pair with it, which is probably not the most common pairing, but I really enjoy fruity black teas. The goat cheese tart was very tasty, reminded me a flatbread or pizza so it doesn't look to be a typical tart. The "petite quiche" was not petite at all! It was a very generous slice and very delicious, I liked this item a lot. The salade niçoise was a surprise for me. I've seen it on menus at other French places and the description never appealed to me. Ivy Tea House's version came with shrimp, which was well-seasoned on its own. The salade was served in a cute little dish that was a bit hard to eat out of, so I ended taking forkfuls and dipping it into the provided personal container of salad dressing, and cutting certain items, like the shrimp or olives, on my plate as necessary. The lavender-lemon-poppy scones were my least favorite item, and I think the only item we were allowed to request more of. In my opinion, the scones were a bit dry and strongly tasting of lavender. With the blackberry preserves and the cream, they were tasty, but paled in comparison to the rest of the selections. I really enjoyed the blackberry frangipane tartlet -- the name tartlet here is misleading as it is a dense cake, and served cold (not sure if this was purposeful). If I saw this item at a bakery, I would purchase it for sure as I enjoyed the texture and taste. Lastly, the pistachio macarons. The filling was amazing, with little bits of pistachio. The macaron shells were a bit too brittle/airy but hey, I ate them all the same. They have an afternoon tea menu that also sounds delicious and is cheaper at $29 (starting, depending on what items you opt for) and a children's tea for $29. The high tea options are $38. They also feature a la carte menu items (you can order takeout or walk-in on Fridays 1-5 pm. Their Friday hours, by reservation, are 12 pm, 2 pm and 3 pm and Saturday hours, by reservation, are 12 pm and 2 pm). Because we had a 12 pm reservation on Saturday, our visit was limited to one and a half hours to allow for the next parties to be set up. I could see this being a cute spot to host a baby shower or bridal shower. They even have an outdoor tent set up for big parties. Seeing as they change up the menus, I would most definitely return! It is a charming little spot to catch up with a good friend.

I wanted to love this place so much. Some ladies in the dining room were going Gaga over the place and it is obviously wildly popular but I'm afraid that I have to burst the bubble. We did enjoy the tea, the scones and the young lady who was running the place was quite warm and experienced, hence the three stars, but everything else was unfortunately very disappointing. Facility: Conveniently located in historic downtown Norcross, converted from a small house. Unpaved parking is behind the house. The back and side patio of the house looked more unkept than rustic. The dining room and bathroom are thoughtfully decorated. BUT I couldn't take my eyes away from things that I usually see in a mom and pop Asian restaurant: behind/under the counter where you could see a filthy old runner with used Kleenex tissues; the toilet seat cover had fecal spots/stains and the sink had nasty sink grime. We were one of the first ones going in, no reason to be not cleaned before opening. High Tea: A wide selection of tea on the menu. Our tea pots were served and placed on top of a warming tray with a candle (?), it maintained perfect temperature throughout. We had Southern Tea ($38/person), the scones were quite impressive - not dry at all and very crusty. Everything else was meh. The fruits looked like leftover from the night before, not very appetizing. We tried to finish most because we are not wasteful people but wasn't brave enough to touch the fruits. Price: $38/person for Southern Tea - each person has individual pot of selected tea and three tiers of treats. This is much cheaper than a high tea in a upscale hotel, but I'm not sure they've earned it given what I stated above. 18% gratuity was included for a two person check - nowadays, we typically give 20% -25% gratuity in almost all restaurants we go, but I don't appreciate practices for fixed gratuity. Large party, yes, not for two people. No return for us but they are not missing much as I overheard that they have a long reservation list.

I loved the high tea experience! My mom is very passionate about tea and this was one of her favorite experiences as well. We did not have a reservation because we did not plan 48 hours in advance, so we had to get the traditional high tea, but we still enjoyed it! We got the avacado toast, salmon sandwiches, and cucumber sandwiches, scones, cream puffs, lemon squares, and fruit. The tower also comes with unlimited tea so you can get as much tea as you want. I enjoyed the peach tea and my mom enjoyed the Earl Grey. I didn't like the Jasmine fruit green tea...it was pretty bitter and required a lot of sugar. It wasn't crowded during the week (we went on a Thursday and were the only ones in there) but I would recommend making a reservation so that you can choose the tea tower.

The Ivy Tea House was the highlight of my weekend trip to Georgia! I will visit this place every time I visit. The best high tea ever! The food was so delicious we couldn't stop eating even though we were full. The staff were extremely nice and accommodating.

High tea excellence ! The food was so delicious, I ordered the Abundance high tea, southern brunch high tea and afternoon tea. This was an excellent way to try lots of different items and we were not disappointed ! Portions were so generous, we were able to bring lots of goodies home with us. The atmosphere was so peaceful and staff that waited on us were more than helpful, I can't wait to come back !

As a former owner of 3 Tea Houses and the buyer of Loose Tea to sell to the public and in the business for almost 20 years, I can honestly say that this place is absolutely phenomenal! The food presentation was not only beautiful, it was absolutely delicious. There were plenty of Teas to choose from and the preparation of the tea that we were served was PERFECT. This little tea place is a must-go-to!

One of the nicest afternoon lunches I have had in Atlanta! A friend brought me here for my birthday and I loved every single moment. I am not a huge tea drinker but both flavors that we ordered were absolutely delicious. The food was so tasty and really satisfying. They did an outstanding job crafting a vegetarian option. The mushrooms tasted like a roasted pork and I loved it!! Highly recommend this spot for a nice ladies day out!

My friend and I had a fabulous time celebrating my birthday . The spring selection was exactly what I was craving. Much better than the handful of special occasions I've attend other places with high tea. Lemon meringue tea was the way to go. The only recommendation I have is for a cute tip jar/bucket at the table or way to leave it on card before you leave. Currently you pre-pay everything and my friend and I didn't realize till a week later there was no tip prompt so we didn't think about it and feel terrible. Will tip extra next time and wanted to leave this review to make up for missing it! Here's the seasonal spring, I hope they keep it as it was amazing. Goat cheese tart with chicken paillard, roasted spring vegetables, tarragon * Petite quiche with rosemary ham, tomato jam, brie, arugula * Salade niçoise with shrimp, asparagus, olives, baby potatoes * Lavender lemon poppy scones * Pistachio french macarons * Blackberry frangipane tartlet

Cute spot! House turned tea house, with most of the seating outdoors in the backyard. Parking in the back as well. Right now, they require advance reservations and payment, and only open a couple days of the week. Tea selections were great...my favorites: Jasmine fruit, summer early grey, and Luscious London. Sweet snacks were alright, but the savory options were much better.

Ivy Tea house is a delightful experience. They are so knowledgeable about tea parings. We got reservations for a tea on the patio on Friday and Saturday had the entire place to ourselves.

My daughter told me about this place she went to with her friend, we decided to give it a try since thry have outside seating. Everything was good, I am not a fan of pimento cheese but I took them home to a friend and she liked it. Other than that it was all very nice and a nice addition to my high tea list

I've been here twice and I continue to be impressed. The food is magnificent, the decor is beautiful, and the staff is so friendly and kind. I love the outdoor patio area on a nice day. The food is very filling, fresh, and so new and interesting. Both times I've gone, the menu and food did not disappoint. They were very accommodating of allergies as well. I've done high tea at a few places in Atlanta and even the big hotels (Waldorf, St. Regis). Ivy Tea House remains at the top of my list. This would also be a cute place to rent out for a shower or event. Parking is free and they have a whole gravel lot in the back.

This place is too adorable!! Found it today and definitely will come soon! We were outside in the patio which is so cute. We share the smoked salmon sandwich and the cucumber dill. Also, we have the lemon pound cake ( I think that was the name) it was melting in my mouth!! Will definitely bring more people here!

I have been looking for a tea room to try for a while and Ivy Tea House is amazing! Super cute and is everything a quaint tea room should have. My friend and I got the Ivy Tea which comes with a pot of tea to share, however you can enjoy many different kinds. Also a variety or sandwiches, scones and desserts. We enjoyed three pots of wonderful tea that I highly recommend, White Açaí, Southern Peach and Passionfruit Jasmine. Great guest service and owner came out to talk with us many times and see if we needed anything. Very welcoming, relaxing and a place I will definitely be visiting again!

Such a cute place. My friend and I went for high tea on Valentine's weekend. Everything was gorgeous and delicious. Appreciated the waitress explaining everything that was on our trays. We ended up buying loose leaf tea to go. One of the ladies was so nice and gave recommendations and tips on how long to steep the tea and which ones went well with cream and sweetener. Would love to come back when it warms up and sit out on the patio.

This is a new and cute little spot located in Norcross. They offer a wide variety of teas and both sweet and savory treats. This is the perfect place for a casual cup of tea with a group of girlfriends, or a more formal high tea event.

Charming house in historic Norcross housing a Southern twist on a traditional high tea! I went for my birthday and had the brunch tower with delicious sweet and savory tray and choice of tea at a great price. I will be back!

We went to afternoon tea on a Thursday and had the best time! Two of us shared the Ivy tea tower with pimento cheese, cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad, ham and Brie and all sorts of scrumptious baked goods! The tea choices were extensive and paired so well with the food. Truly can't recommend enough for a special and delicious lunch!

We went in for lunch and realized we could have afternoon tea without reservations, so no hesitation to go for it. Such a delightful experience from the service to the food. The tea and sandwiches were all delicious and beautiful. I can't wait to go back.

The food, tea, and atmosphere was really good! This is a gem in Gwinnett County and I will be back again.

Absolutely incredible. I threw a small bridal shower for my cousin here of 9 adults and 4 children, and it was perfect. Making the reservation was effortless and Ari was so easy to contact, helpful, and accommodating. The part of the restaurant we were in was separated by a curtain to make it private. I brought my own flowers to put in the vases they already had. I made placecards and little honey jar party favors, but there wasn't much needed because they had beautiful towers that were already perfect. Not only was the decor nice, the food selections were also delicious. Every single thing on the towers were delightfully good and they have a great tea selection. It was too cold for us to be outside, but the outdoor area has really pretty lighting and would be nice as well. Ari even took the time to take our group photos after. I highly recommend this gem for your next event or high tea experience!

I brought my friends here ( their first High Tea) and I was pleased that I chose this place and they were pleased as well. It was a very good experience. Our server was great and attentive. This was birthday celebration for my friends and it turned out great.

Delicious addition to downtown historic Norcross. Lunch was yummy, I had the egg salad sandwich and a pot of green tea. The staff is very knowledgeable on their teas. Can't wait to go back and try a matcha (they are currently sourcing this). Treats were shared with the family at home, they loved the matcha squares, shortbread cookie and the chocolate rye cookies. We'll be back for a girls tea soon.

What a hidden gem, this place absolutely blew my socks off. The food was incredibly fresh, and beautifully displayed. The jasmine tea that accompanied my quiche & salad was delicious and I especially enjoyed the warmer that was provided to keep it hot at the table. They also had good vegan options for both dessert and lunch which my wife appreciated. The tea specialist who helped us, Aranthza, was amazing and so knowledgable. I would definitely recommend this place and will return.

I had high tea here last week! Absolutely fabulous!' Great service! Great food, great music, great tea! I want to become a teaolgist now!

Love it! Such a cute little location, and they have a great selection of tea! I've done the spa tea twice, both times it was great! My first visit, my friend got the brunch tea and loved it as well. They are also very accommodating to any allergy needs and can do nut free and gluten free! All of the food served was delicious! All of the tea tasted was amazing! I've been twice and can't wait to come back!

Delicious food! Hours, service, and portion sizes are inconsistent.Their business hours and guests/dining policies change frequently and on the whim. Even with their limited hours, Ivy continues to go back and forth regarding their take out and walk in policies.

I stopped in for lunch here with a dear friend of mine and was so impressed. I am a bit of a tea fanatic, and the English Breakfast was perfectly brewed (It's so easy to get it wrong and over or under brew, but really it was spot on!). I had the Ploughman's sandwich to accompany my pot of tea -- they had my heart at Branston Pickle -- and it was delicious. The service was excellent, thoughtful, and attentive. The sweets came home with me in a box (hellooooo lavender / lemon pound cake! I do believe I will enjoy you with another cuppa later today). The space is super cute, the staff are so incredibly gracious, and I can't wait to go back. Most places seem to have hiccups when they are freshly opened, and I saw none of that. Attention to detail, multiple milk options to go with my tea (coconut, whole, and soy!), and a nicely balanced tea list. Well done!

If you are looking to experience a tea house that you would experience in many countries of the world look no further! You will certainly find it an the Ivy Tea House located in the historic district of Norcross, Georgia. Upon entering my co worker and I were made feel very welcome. We were giving plenty of time to read over the menus. I chose a pot of earl grey tea and ended up ordering a scone. Everything about the tea house and tea service would make you feel like you were in a different Country. The tea was just perfect and the scone was absolutely amazing. It should be noted I am from Dublin, Ireland. If you know anything about Ireland. You will know we love our cup of tea ! It should be noted I have traveled all over the world with the US Marines and the Ivy Tea House rates very high in my experiences of visiting a tea house. The Ivy Tea House rates ten stars and more. Honestly my scone was so good I ended up ordering two more. The Ivy Tea House is ideal for party's and they will be hosting cultural events in the near future. If you are a serious Tea drinker I highly recommend visiting the Ivy Tea House. I definitely will be visiting the Ivy Tea House in the near future. I Absolutely love this amazing tea house. I ended up talking to my server and the owner. They take so much pride in their work and operation. The Ivy Tea House is definitely a great addition to the historic district of Norcross. As stated in the above I am looking forward to to returning here in the near future.

It took a while for me to find a tea house and I'm so glad I found this one! The atmosphere was pleasant and if you enjoy taking pictures for the gram, there are plenty of spots to make that happen. They have a wide variety of teas to choose from, and with our Ivy Tea service, we were able to pick and choose how we wanted our tea. We chose to have our tea iced, but next time I'll choose hot so that I get to have the experience of pouring tea into the beautiful cups they have. The ivy tea service also had sweet and savory food options. You get to choose 3 savory sandwiches to come with the scones, cream puff, lemon bars, and fruit. I had the cucumber sandwich, ham and Brie, and chicken salad. The cucumber sandwich was amazing, I loved the bread it came on! Everything was so beautifully put together and displayed, i could tell that there was a lot of thought and details put into the flavor of the food and the display of it. It was a wonderful experience I am still thinking about, and I can't wait to go back!!

Paid nine dollars for thinnest lame eggsalad sandwich. No sides. Outrageous prices that don't fill you up. They must think they're serving this on top of the world. Go here to throw away your money.

Ivy Tea House knows how "High Tea" is truly done. This old house, reincarnated, as an adorable Tea House is so cute! The presentation of the tea sandwiches and desserts was spectacular. There were so many yummy choices of tea to choose from (I had Mango Honey and bought some to go!). The food...ALL scrumptious! from the breads/crackers/ biscuits/scones to the cream cheese, salmon, pimento cheese... ALL made in house. Ideal for any occasion - and they are available for hosting special occasions. Make your reservation and go ASAP!

This has by far become one of my favorite lunch spots. I've taken multiple people here and every time I go it's an incredible experience! The pricing is more then reasonable and all the food + the teas are INCREDIBLE! I could endlessly talk about how wonderful and elegant this place is or how kind the staff is. So worth a visit!!

Cucumber sandwiches! Scones! Earl Grey! Darjeeling! Scones! Preserves! I miss this place already! We did a bridal luncheon here some time ago & a baby shower too. It is charming!
