If you are looking for tea and nothing else, this is the place for you. If you do not drink tea I would never step foot in this place. Don’t get me started on service. We were visited by the waiters 4 times over the course of 2 hours. Dirty dishes were left on the table throughout all three courses. Food was below average. Extremely small selection of food as well. Although the old look was aesthetically pleasing, everything else did not match the vibe at all. Very underwhelming experience for all of us, and I am glad I will never sit through one of those again. Very good if you like tea, though.

Went for an afternoon tea on a Thursday afternoon. The male host told us a shower was coming and he couldn't seat us. He didn't seem convincing. Then we asked for a business card and he said they were out of them. Just wondering ?

We had my daughter's baby shower at the tea house yesterday and we all had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and had excellent and attentive service. We celebrated my mom's 90th birthday there last year and in the many years that I have been there, I have never been disappointed. The best tea house in NJ!Dietary restrictions: We had one gluten free guest and one guest allergic to eggs. The chef was very accommodating and gave each of those guests very tasty and satisfying dishes.

Went for a baby shower, beautiful atmosphere, service was spot on and you can buy loose tea (Wedding tea), was my favorite and I took some home. If you need a venue this is the place for it.

Had the cutest Tea Themed Bridal Shower at High Societea back in November and it was such a wonderful experience! The place itself is so cute so minimal additional decoration is needed. Everyone was helpful and kind, very very nice place! My only critique is that more food might be needed but otherwise it was perfect. Thanks for making my special day so wonderful!

High Societea provided above and beyond service both for my visually impaired mother and my husband who requires a gluten free experience. All of our food was delicious and the holiday caroling was such a perfect way to celebrate the season. Our waitress Dominique was especially kind and attentive to our needs and incredibly knowledgeable about different varieties of tea served.Dietary restrictions: The owner makes a special effort to offer dietary alternatives that closely resemble the offerings from each course. Our waitress informed us that she is also gluten free. Gluten free scones were “moist, buttery & delicious” according to my husband.

We arrived at 7pm and the website says they are closing at 8pm. As soon as we parked the car in front of the house, someone switched off the lights inside. So much of the welcoming atmosphere. Now I see why they get so many negative reviews. This place won’t last long the way they treat the customers.

Took my wife, mom and sister. The staff was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We all ordered the “Queen tea” which included everything. I will definitely be going again. It was great for a family as well as for a date. Recommend

Tracey RoseI booked a seating for a total of 11. We had a 3:30 seating. We waited a half hour, which put us at 4 PM for a waitress to take our tea order. We were served our salad in a very bowl And a Very small slice of what they called quiche at 4:16. We had a three tier serving platter on our table that only had two plates the entire time, (The third plate stayed empty) and neither plate was full enough for 11 people. That was served at 4:38. At 5:04 they served finger food less than a 1/4 cut in 1/2 sandwiches (which I was told when I booked it we were having adult size servings throughout the sitting) All the Sandwich pieces had stale bread. Again, only two dishes on a three tier serving in the middle of our table. There was clearly Not enough food for the 11 adults. At 5:14 PM they put two dishes again with little pieces of a brownie tiny little bite-size pieces of a cookie with bacon, and little round cookies with pumpkins on them. They were stale. At 5:23 my sister-in-law went to get off her chair and the Chair broke, and she slid halfway on the floor and onto me sitting next to her. I immediately got the waitress and handed her the chair over the table. There should have never been a broken chair at the table to begin with. At 5:27 we were served a cobbler which was raw. By 5:31 Laura (I think that’s the receptionist name) Told us they are getting ready to close. When I booked this reservation, I told them this was a small baby shower for my daughter. Immediately we had to start opening presents because we were being pushed out of the restaurant. They were literally cleaning the tables around us with disinfectant cleaner and sprays. The service was horrible as we waited for water on the table, it took the waitress over an hour and a half to bring a picture of water and two glasses. Mind you there was 11 people at the table who wanted water. We also asked for refills on two pots of tea, And never received them. I left. They are paying almost $500 and everyone was disappointed with the service and the snacks they served. I would Never recommend this place and I will never go back there. The management should refund me my money because everything was horrible. We all went home hungry and very frustrated.We all took pictures and I could back up every single time that I Posted above. Pictures don’t lie and I have them all.

Tracey RoseDine in | Dinner | $30-50I booked a seating ftotal of 11. We had a 3:30 seating. We waited a half hour, which put us at 4 PM for a waitress to take our tea order. We were served our tiny salad in a very small bowl and a slither of what they called quiche at 4:16. We had a three tier serving platter on our table that only had two plates the entire time, (The third plate stayed empty the entire seating) and neither plate was full enough for 11 people. That was served at 4:38. At 5:04 they served finger foods size for toddlers, not adults, (which I was told when I booked it we were having adult size servings throughout the sitting) All the Sandwich pieces had stale bread. Again, only two dishes on a three tier serving in the middle of our table. There was clearly Not enough food for the 11 adults. At 5:14 PM they put two dishes again with little pieces of a brownie tiny little bite-size pieces of a cookie with bacon, and little round cookies with pumpkins on them, not enough for 11 and for the price I paid, which I think it was $48 a person, the bread was STALE. At 5:23 my sister-in-law went to get off her chair and the Chair broke, and she slid halfway on the floor and onto me sitting next to her.

When I booked this reservation, I told them this was a small baby shower for my daughter. Immediately we had to start opening presents because we were being pushed out of the restaurant. They were literally cleaning the tables around us with cleaner and sprays while we were standing right next to them, mind you, my daughter-in-law, and my daughter are pregnant . The service was horrible as we waited for water on the table, it took the waitress over an hour and a half to bring ONE pitcher of water and TWO glasses. We had ELEVEN PEOPLE NOT TWO we all wanted water. We also asked for refills on two pots of tea, and never received them.
