I'd heard a lot of good things about Adore Tea, so I went in with quite high expectations. But I was not disappointed. :) We requested a table of 3 on arriving one Sunday afternoon without a booking and they fit us in no troubles. But it was very busy (even on a cold Autumn afternoon) so I'd recommend making... More

I love Gold Creek because of little gems like this. They were VERY busy - tables were squeezed together to take up every last bit of space - but our waitress took great care of us, was really knowledgeable about the teas, and showed us how to get the most from our experience. I loved the tea I had, so... More

Not far away from Cockington Green Gardens is Adore Tea. As owner of the store puts it, the Adore Tea room is “The destination for tea lovers”. Both a tea place (for High Tea) and a place that sells tea! With over 250 blends of tea to choose from, how can you not be excited? We got seated outside because... More

Tea was beautiful. Some serious service aspects lacking. Order taken. Asked for two trio of dips to share or one large one I'd they can upsize. We got one normal size. The apple pie was very good. For all 4 people sharing, 1 fork and 1 napkin. Talk about confusing. In the end we were able to get a total... More

I am a big tea drinker! I loved the service provided here and the explanations about all the tea! I came with my daughter and we had a lovely time while listening to some Jazz in the background! Will definitely be returning when i'm in the north side!

I liked the location and the company I was in, as well as the pretty cafe setting. I disliked having the tea explained to me, but I think that is just my mood rather than any ineptitude on their part! This is a great place for a treat, but it is very expensive for what it is, and all the... More

We had lunch for two on a quiet weekday and were very disappointed. Referred here from Poachers Pantry whose produce they use. Ordered the Poachers Pantry platter, great raw material served without love or thought. Very poor quality bread and a mishmash of dried fruit and nuts to accompany the lovely smoked goodies. Teas on the menu are not all... More

Dear aqob, thank you for your feedback and I am disappointed that you did not receive the normal Adore Tea experience. As we carry over 300 teas there can be seasonal changes so I must apologise that the tea you chose was not available. We also love the Poachers Pantry smoked meats and we serve them on our beautiful 3... More
