Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A real treat. I’ve no idea how many times we’ve been to Olney and never tried Teapots what a mistake that was. The atmosphere was great a bit like stepping back in time but in a good way. The food was well cooked and the...coffee was first class but above all the staff were so friendly. I’ll definitely be backMore

First visit and boy what an amazing little find. A very warm welcome on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. The afternoon tea was simply fantastic and I’ve had my fair share of them !! This was by far the best I’ve ever had....Freshly made tasty sandwiches and a delicious homemade cake selection along with just scrumptious scones. Endless supply of hot tea along with any other drinks if required. What more could you ask for.More

We drove over again, from just outside Cambridge as we love it here. We had a cheese ploughmans and 2 pots of tea, and 1 latte......and of course a piece of cake! It was delicious and more than that is was so much more reasonable...than a ploughmans we had, had a few weeks ago, closer to home, where we had a postage stamp size piece of cheese, for the same money !!! We had decent wedges of Brie, Stilton and Cheddar, (and it was good quality), With a roll, salad, pickles and chutney. I had slice of cake (caramel) and was asked if I wanted a small or large piece( I think they charge a little less for a smaller bit which is good). I had small, but it was ample.....and gorgeous. They are so nice in there and it is always clean and so nice to 'go back in time'. If they had a bit of Glen miller playing, it would just top it off !!!More

Popped into teapots with my father and vegan son. We all enjoyed our tea, cakes and cappuccino. Very friendly staff. Good choice of vegan cakes and plant milks. Perfect little afternoon treat :-)

Visited for mother's day with my wife and little one. The reception by the staff was welcoming and friendly and it was good to see the place was busy. We were lead upstairs in this quaint little house to a well decorated, clean room with...a few tables in. We'd pre-booked the special afternoon so other than deciding drinks (tea, obviously - it was afternoon tea after all) there was very little to do other than make small talk for the few brief minutes it took for the cake stands of sandwiches, scones, cakes and fancies to arrive. The gluten free food arrived on its own stand and luckily the staff told us which was which because thee was very little difference in appearance to the food that contained the dreaded gluten. If you need a GF diet you'll know how unusual this is. There was also very little difference in taste or texture either. I can't stress how amazing this is. GF food has made great improvements in recent years but this was another level. So very impressive. The staff were always on hand to offer more tea but were never intrusive and were absolutely professional and friendly throughout. I can't recommend Teapots highly enough. An amazing place with a delightful selection of beautiful food.More

Back again for another lovely breakfast. Still good value, still a lovely atmosphere, still so polite. Still our favorite.....and we will be back. Worth the hours drive for that and a walk around the town. Oh, and had a visit to the village of Weston...underwood, about a mile away, too. A lovely day.More

After living in Olney for 22 years I had surprisingly never been here before. We held my sisters baby shower here in the upstairs room for Sunday afternoon tea & I have to say it was amazing! The staff were so polite & had everything...covered & absolute pros at their job. The platter of cakes & sandwiches were deli& the tea a proper cup of tea. Lovely little place, definitely recommend & hope to visit again soon. Thank you for catering for us 😊More

Warm friendly service, delicious toasted cheese and tomato sandwich and wide selection on drinks options made for a lovely afternoon with friends. I’m still drooling over the sandwich…will have to take my husband there soon. Just one thing…bathrooms are up 2 flights of stairs so...not sure how customers with mobility difficulties cope. Oh..and the homemade cakes are wonderful!More

A pot of tea & Scone for me & a pot of tea & fry up for my...partner. It was delicious & the prices weren't too high.
