The Dirty Tea

The experience that I had at the Dirty Tea was literally top tier! No other place in Atlanta like it. I’m so honored that I was able to celebrate my birthday in this amazing establishment. The food, the tea, the customer service, the aesthetics, the overall experience was literally 10/10.

We had our first experience at The Dirty Tea for my mother's 70th birthday and it was nothing short of amazing. This quaint delightful beautifully decorated tea room was the most elegant experience. The decor is top tier the staff is knowledgeable and so pleasant and tea sandwiches and desserts were outstanding. And let's not forget the selections of the tea , just the names of the tea were delectable. We had the hibiscus and the herbal ginger and they were vibrant in flavor and aroma. Kudos to the owners what we were told were a mother and daughter duo! Job well done on the idea and bringing it to light. We Will definitely be back

Visited The Dirty Tea for my best friend's birthday. I was looking forward to this all week, only to be completely underwhelmed. The website mentions a valet service- nonexistent. Our reservation was for 2 pm- we arrived on time only for the staff to be setting up and cleaning from a previous party. My table was still dirty upon seating. We didn't sit and get settled until 2:15, yet at 3:35 our 90 minutes was up. I was also disappointed in the amount of food given to four adults for $95 per person (+20% gratuity). Not enough dessert for everyone to try each item without cutting things in half or fourths. Three smoked salmon sandwiches? Are we supposed to cut them in half? I have no problem paying for good food, but I want enough to taste and enjoy. The food and tea were tasty and the inside was definitely photo ready! The staff was nice and friendly. I was expecting more of an 'experience'. I will not return nor would I recommend.

Went for my friend’s birthday and it was an amazing experience! There were a high variety of teas to choose from and the entire place felt comfortable and immersive. The food and desserts were good as well and I would love to come back

5 stars! Such a fun and beautiful experience! Went for my mother’s birthday and we had 3 generations attending (mother, daughter, and 2 grandmothers). Amazing service (Samantha made everything SO enjoyable!) enough to get you full, and we were able to take desserts to go! Definitely would recommend for any special occasions for a pleasant and enjoyable experience!

Dirty Tea is a great addition to the ATL BRUNCH scene! The ambiance, the decor, the food, the beverages, the presentation all top tier! You most definitely feel like an esteemed lady whilst sipping your tea! Our server Angel was very pleasant, personable and thoughtful throughout our experience. The owners were there today and were engaging, pleasant and welcoming. We will definitely be back with a larger party to celebrate life’s milestones. Lastly, the price point is great! For a party of three we had a few goodies left over and were all very satisfied! 10/10 recommend.

I Set up a an Extremely Lovely Weekday reservation for Dirty Tea for my wife’s Birthday. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience at this Place. The Quality and Selection of Tea and the Food presented from the Sandwiches to the Pastry tray was Exquisite. The Ambiance and Decor was in my top three Tea Services of all time. The Details of the setting from the china work to the ADORABLE Honey Bee Honey server was beautiful my favorite was the Eiffel Tower statue setup they had. The Owners and their Family have put some truly Memorable work into this place. They were the sweetest people and the service was amazing. For those interested the Cocktails were lovingly crafted and had a great deal of variety. This place is amazing and I can’t wait to come back here for another Tea service.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!! The service, the attention to detail in the setup and decor. Price is competitive and relative to other elevated experiences. Drinks & food. I added a French 75 and Lemon Drop Martini with whiskey instead of vodka and the drinks did not disappoint. Will definitely return when back in Houston. Kudos to the staff and owners! 🫖🥂

I celebrated my birthday here. It was 7 of us so we were divided into two tables. It was so nice and pretty. We only had 2 hours service. It took a while to be serviced which cut into time we couldn't get back. Overall the food, desserts and tea were really good. I'd come back. Parking can be hectic but they do offer valet on the weekends.

The Dirty Tea: A Grand Experience You Won't Forget The Dirty Tea in the Virginia Highland area of Atlanta, Georgia, is an experience like no other. I highly recommend gathering a group of friends for an unforgettable time. From the moment you step into this charming establishment, you're greeted with bright pastel colors and an elegant ambiance that sets the tone for a truly special outing. I had the pleasure of being thrown a surprise birthday party here with my friends, and every detail was flawless. Our server warmly welcomed us and walked us through the menu, which offered a delightful variety of teas, from Passion Hibiscus to Herbal Tulsi Ginger. The highlight of the experience was the tower of pastries--a dream for any sweet tooth. Picture macaroons, raspberry shortbread cookies, and delicate finger sandwiches that felt like a treasure trove of flavors and textures. It was like stepping into a whimsical world, where every bite brought a new delight. For those who love to dress up, this is the perfect opportunity. Think Bridgerton vibes--pearls, gloves, hats, heels--the whole ensemble. Whether you're channeling your inner duchess or simply opting for a chic tea party look, this is your chance to embrace elegance and indulge in a feminine, dainty, and fun-filled atmosphere. If you've been dreaming of visiting The Dirty Tea, this is your sign to go. A few tips: parking in the Virginia Highland area is limited, so plan to park along neighborhood streets or consider taking an Uber for convenience. Also, be punctual for your reservation. The venue operates on a tight schedule, and late arrivals may result in a shortened experience. This is truly a "run, don't walk" type of spot--because every girl deserves her tea and crumpets!

Had a wonderful experience here. A friend and I planed to connect when in Atlanta visiting our kids at college. She found The Dirty Tea on Instagram and we knew this would be the spot to meet up. Excellent choice. We had a perfect Friday afternoon tea experience. Our waitress offered us a lovey afternoon and her tea suggestion of Georgia Peach and Crème brûlée were perfect compliments to the tasty tea sandwiches and desserts. Met the owners and had a fantastic time catching up and enjoying their lovely space. These two Texas moms loved this charming spot.

If you're looking for an exceptional tea experience, GO HERE! It doesn't matter if you're an experienced lady who lunches, a new Bridgerton fan, or are just learning about tea time...The Dirty Tea is truly a must-have experience! And I'm not exaggerating; my husband told me to call it a "hidden gem" in this review. And it is! We went in for an afternoon tea experience on a Sunday. We were able to easily find parking on the street and get inside quickly. The dining room is just as beautiful as it appears in the pics you see here. Each table has a unique arrangement of tea pots and cups that appear themed to me. The owner was there and engaged us in conversation. She answered all our questions around how the business came to be. The food on our tiered tea tray was excellent. The staff was so friendly and willing to take pics for us on all of the IG-worthy backdrops. If you're on the fence about this one, just do it!

We had a good experience at Dirty Tea. We were a very large group of 12 people and Dirty Tea was able to accommodate us (on two tables) with a reservation (and a deposit). Process to book was rather seamless. Our party got there on time - they do have valet but most of us found street parking pretty easy! It took some time to get seated but they had a small area to wait (not big enough for our group as many people who were done with their experience were taking pictures there). However we did make use of the space to take some pictures too. Once seated, I was impressed by the attention to detail on every table from the plates to teacups to the table cloth. Each table was unique. I must say with all the things on the table, it felt a bit overcrowded. We ordered our teas - some boozy some not (ask your sever as most teas can be made boozy but pick your liquor appropriately). We didn't get a choice for the snacks but it was definitely plentiful - sandwiches to scones and macarons. They were nice to accommodate a few in our group and get some vegetarian cheese sandwiches too. The teas were great and the munchies were good... The table was crowded with food and tea - that's probably my only gripe (small table for the size of our group) but I had a blast. The server we had messed up our check and it took the over a while to refund us for the incorrect charges. But overall this was a fun high tea experience. Will definitely come back when I feel indulgent again.

A friend wanted a Bridgerton style birthday so I did a search for tea rooms in Atlanta and found this gem. Everything was perfect. The decor was amazing and the tea and sandwich service was so good. A 1.5 hour experience passed so quickly since we were having fun. The staff is so good. We spoke to the owner after the tea service and she was amazing. She asked for feedback and ways to improve. She really cared about everything! This is a family run establishment and everyone right down to the valet parking our vehicle was polite, enthusiastic and professional. I would highly recommend this place for any themed ladies party or just a quiet afternoon tea experience.

scammers this place makes you put down a deposit for each person and anyone who doesn't make it that money won't even go to your final bill. they must not have much faith in the experience of their restaurant if they have to operate like this. i lost $155.00 on trying to patronize their business. not worth it!

What an experience. I sent my girlfriend a post on instagram and we decided to just go by to check out the space. We were immediately greeted by one of the owners and two staff members. The owner allowed us to tour the space and gave us the full story of how they designed the interior from scratch. It's truly a beautiful layout. After talking to the owner we ordered some tea at the bar. The staff were super fast and friendly. They didn't hesitate to walk us through the menu and explain their tea service. There was space at the bar to do some work so we took advantage (WiFi was fast!). The tea came out on platters with sugar cubes and honey on the side. They also bring out a minute glass with each tea to let you know how long the tea has to steep. After it steeped I added a single cube and wow, thoroughly impressed. This place is a gem. I can't wait to bring family to enjoy their Afternoon Tea Tower. If you're looking for great service, a beautiful location and good tea, this is the place to be.

Came here for my birthday and had a good time ! They have valet parking across the street for $10. Tea is 1.5 hours. The aesthetics were really cute too! I am a person that frequents high tea often , I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 for a few reasons. For one it was $95 plus tax and gratuity. For that price I would have thought everyone would get their own pot of tea and enough scones/pastries for everyone. We had to share scones and pastries amongst the 6 of us and got 3 pots of tea instead of us each getting individual tea pots. It also would've been nice to hear music. All in all it was a good experience just overpriced a bit. I do like that I had a birthday cake and they cut for me and served to us that was a plus.

If you're a lover of super girly meets classy, go to Dirty Tea. I visited on a Friday afternoon at 12, and it was pretty empty. I could not stop smiling at all of the pink! It was so beautiful inside and the tea sets flow beautifully with the inside decor. There are so many cute spots for photos at the tea wall or the Dirty Tea sign or at your table. For $95 per person, you each get a pot of tea and a shared tower of desserts and sandwiches. They do highlight the non caffeinated teas. My favorite desserts were the macarons and the scones. I had the white Georgia peach tea which was lovely. If you looking for something fun to do with friends or even for Galentines, I would highly recommend the Dirty Tea. I even got to meet the owners who were super sweet. Any New Yorkers visiting ATL and looking for something do, add this to your list!

This was my first time at a tea experience, so I invited a friend who's familiar with high tea. The space is gorgeous, especially now as everything is dressed for the holiday season - from the tree in the corner to the poinsettia cups and and candy striped teapots. I was especially endeared by the sugar cubes, which were shaped like trees and gingerbread men. With the cushy, pastel-colored cushions and a brightly lit backdrop, The Dirty Tea is an Instagrammer's dreamscape. Service, too, is friendly and cheerful. Everyone from our server to the owners were warm and welcoming from start to finish. You're even offered a complimentary glass of champagne upon being seated. Toward the end, when my friend and I took a brief moment to sit by the front sofa, one of the owners offered to take a photo for us, with painstaking effort taken to pose us and move the cushions to the most picturesque spot. It made us feel special, and wouldn't you know it, they were indeed some of the best photos someone's taken of me in a long time. With all that, I'm afraid both of us left feeling a tad underwhelmed. The platter of sweets and savories seemed teeming with deliciousness upon arrival, but nothing seemed overly impressive upon closer glance. There were a few triangled sandwiches - cucumber, chicken salad, and turkey with cranberry, with the latter served on a bun that tasted slightly stale and too thick to appreciate the innards. The top tier contained varied sweets - scones, a chocolate pastry, cookies, crackers, and a few Ferrero Rocher chocolates. This fared slightly better, but for a whopping base charge of $95 per person (plus tax, an automatic 20% tip, and an invitation to add more gratuity at the end), one would really expect more. We were also surprised to find that our choice of sparkling water had added yet another extra charge (a slight misunderstanding, since it was offered to us after we turned down the complimentary champagne). It ached me to rate our afternoon tea experience as three stars, especially because everyone we met was incredibly nice. It's also clear the owners care about their customers and take the time to stop by each table. If you're coming in for a special occasion, especially one with lots of hopeful photo ops, I think Dirty Tea is well worth checking out. But from a sheer value proposition, the cover charge felt quite steep compared to the experience.

For our weekend recharge we fell down this lovely newly opened rabbit hole called The Dirty Tea. It is set off of a busy mainstreet but it was fairly easy to access for parking. We were greeted outside and also immediately upon entering as well and seated rather quickly for our 4pm reservation. When walking in your senses are immediately drawn to the carefully detailed aesthetic and warm greetings from both owners who are very much involved with customer service and graces each table to ensure a pleasant experience. The dessert tower was a delight and housed a delectable wonderland of fresh pastries, cookies, cupcakes and etc. that was both pleasing to the eye and palate. After today, we have pretty much made the executive decision that this place will be a monthly treat for a girls day getaway!

The Dirty Tea experience was average. Interior design was great, it will provide great pictures. Tea sandwiches were NOT good, a human sandwich maker is needed. Our scones were cut in half. The wait staff was excellent and very pleasant.

Absolutely loved the Dirty Tea! We celebrated my 41st birthday and had the best time! The place is super cute and staff is amazing! Thank you for having us and taking such good care of us

My mom and I came here on a Sunday without a reservation and were able to get a table. We met the owners and they were very nice and welcoming. The interior is absolutely beautiful--they had it decorated for Christmas and it felt very festive. The only recommendation I would give is to turn the music down just a tad as it was a bit hard to talk to my mom just across the table from me. We got the afternoon tea and the tea and sandwiches were delicious. Since there were only two of us, we couldn't finish all of the dessert, but it was w great experience nonetheless. 10/10!

AMAZINGLY AWESOME! Friends from San Francisco in town and the husband found the place and booked it for wife's birthday. The food was fabulous, as was the service. And guys, the tea sandwiches , including smoked salmon, were very filling and the desserts to die for, so you guys will get plenty to eat. We could not eat it all and took some home(4 ladies and one man that's a BIG eater) The teas were very special, and I am not a real tea drinker, but the cocktails were also very special, as was the champagne. It was a really great afternoon and we loved the place and will return. On a scale of 1-10 I would have to give it a 35. !!!!! A MUST TRY!!!!

I will definitely be back! The food was delicious and had the additional touch of the chicken salad sandwiches being cut into tea pots with the dirty tea logo. Each table had its own themed set, ours was pink with bees and super cute. Great photo opportunities in here. The staff was nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. One of the owners checked on us as well. Valet is across the street.

Best Dirty Chia I've ever had! Delicious tea. This is a must try in Atlanta, for the experience alone. Very very friendly and helpful staff!

I took my mom here for an early Mother's Day and had an amazing time! The food was delicious and had lots of variety. This is a small space so it gives such a cozy and intimate experience. The staff was kind and welcoming and we even had so free wine to take home. A great experience, and honestly one of the best high teas I have ever been to.

The food tasted good and the ambiance met my expectations. I recommend improvement in the following areas: 1. Deduct the reservation deposit from the total bill. Otherwise, you are charging a reservation fee in addition to the price for tea service. If that is your intent, you should appropriately label the reservation "deposit" as a reservation fee. Then all patrons clearly understand that their bill not only includes a 20% gratuity charge, but a pre-paid reservation fee of $25 (which I see you have changed to $50 per person for Mother's Day). Here's the breakdown of charges at the Dirty Tea: Tea Service: $70 Gratuity (20%): $14 Tax (9.6%): $6.75 Reservation Fee: $25 TOTAL: $115.75 In effect, taxes, gratuity, and the reservation fee equaled 65.35% ($45) of the tea service price. In comparison, tea service at the St. Regis Astor Court is a much more upscale experience for a comparable price. 2. PLEASE enforce a DRESS CODE for your patrons. The majority of the patrons at my tea time (3:00p) were completely inappropriately dressed for tea. Perhaps, you can post tea etiquette and attire guidelines on your website. 3. The waitress who wears the caterpillar eyelashes needs more training. Her presentation of the Afternoon Tea Tower at our table was very animated almost to the point of mockery. I am committed to supporting Black-owned businesses and want them to succeed. With a few tweaks, this business can become an establishment that is worthy of its price point.

Not a huge fan of my experience here. Left a lengthy google review and they responded poorly to me. Not very kind and caring about their customers experience. If you're looking for a luxury experience please look elsewhere. If you're looking for an instagram photo op, then that's what you'll get here.

The most decadent tea experience! Everything is curated and not a detail missed. As the self proclaimed President of the Bee Hive it was nice to see little touches that speak to the Queen! Looking forward to High Tea during the holiday season.

Super friendly service & genuinely into high tea but I stopped in here for a matcha almond milk latte to take home ... and for 12 oz I was charged $10. I get wanting to charge and cover your expenses but $10 for 12 oz ? Astor Court at the St. Regis would never, so why in VaHi?!Anyways, I'm sure the spot is lovely for a girls day but just consider the pricing before going.
