The Royal Tea Room

The Royal Tea Room is an English-inspired, full-service restaurant set in an elegant and cozy Victorian-style setting.

Our signature afternoon tea is a 4- or 5-course prix-fixe experience featuring finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with housemade cream and jam, and sweet treats, all presented on a classic three-tiered stand and paired with premium loose-leaf teas.

We also offer a full menu of breakfast, brunch, and lunch, as well as catering for private events and special occasions.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.
