Reviews
The 'Strawberry Afternoon Tea Spring Sound' was a delightful experience with its cherry blossom-themed sweets and unlimited TWG teas. The panoramic city view added to the charm.
Enjoyed the 'Cat's Afternoon Tea' featuring adorable feline-themed desserts and a variety of TWG teas. The ambiance was serene, perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
The afternoon tea set was both visually appealing and delicious. The combination of sweet and savory items, along with the city skyline, made it memorable.
A unique afternoon tea experience with creative presentations and a wide selection of teas. The staff was attentive, and the view was breathtaking.
The seasonal themes of the afternoon tea keep me coming back. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation is commendable.
