This place is perfection and an absolute treasure in downtown Florence. I have been following their social media for YEARS and just hadn't been able to work out the time for a visit. I finally made it there today and it needs so much more hype. The Victorian Afternoon Tea is 100% worth it. Go hungry, you won't regret it. Six courses of absolute delight.

I came here for my birthday lunch. Always a great meal. Tuna puff and pasta salad with their sweet tea.

I loved this place- from the pink and vibrant exterior to the interior signs and decorations. Your eyes will not get bored. I didn’t want to sit in a packed place to have a quick lunch and get some work done. The food combinations seemed great. I am not a huge dessert person but they said they bake the scones when you order them- who can say no to that? I didn’t and I enjoyed it. Great lemon curd and cream cheese combination served to enhance. Delicious. Keep returning and love it as much every time!

Very cute spot with amazing food. The pasta salad is very simple but so good! Ham and cheese quiche is amazing. I’ve been there 3 times so far and the service and quality of the food has been amazing every time. The scones are to die for! Each time I’ve had one I think about it all day and wish I hadn’t eaten the whole thing so I could have more.

We went here to celebrate my mither in laws birthday. She had never been before and had a wonderful time. We got hot tea or the table, a chicken salad, a Welsh rarebit & chicken salad on croissant. We also got scones. Everything was wonderful and we had a great experience.

I went with my boyfriend (we made a reservation for the Victorian afternoon tea). It was a really cool experience. If you plan to go here often however, I would probably just order something from the menu or get the traditional tea, as it has less courses. We were not able to finish all of our food, especially since it is bread heavy, and you have a lot of time within each course, so you really do get full pretty easily. I would definitely recommend trying one of the afternoon teas for the experience, but it is not something I would do every time I went there. If you are a picky eater you will most likely not like a lot of the foods offered in the afternoon teas. It started off with chicken salad sandwiches and pimento sandwiches with cucumber bites. Usually I do not like chicken salad but this one did not have onions and was pretty simple with just the chicken and boiled egg. Then we had scones, which were really good, but I was not able to finish it. The fruit was just some strawberries, grapes, kiwi, watermelon, and two slices of cheese, and you do not get very much of any of it either. The strawberries we got had some mold spots on them but we just did not touch them. The mini quiche are absolutely tiny. About the shape of mini muffins. We got two different types. A bacon gouda one with onions and a spinach one. They were pretty good though. My favorite part was the cranberry orange mini bread. It was so cute and it tasted SO GOOD. It is a little on the sweet side though. The dessert tray came with a lemon pastry type dessert, a small square of red velvet, and a little mini chocolate coffee whipped cream pastry. They tasted about standard. Not like it was phenomenal or anything. The people there were very nice! Overall: not somewhere I would come very often, just once or twice with friends or family to have a cute experience and take some cool photos.

I LOVE this place! I was looking to try somewhere new for my birthday, and my mom and I decided to try them out. It was absolutely perfect. The decor, the ambience, the quaint service, the tea! Perfect spot for a quiet lunch. We got the Victorian Tea Course, and I cannot wait to bring friends back. Hidden gem! Must try!
