We went for afternoon tea. It was a retirement presents from my work colleagues. It was really nice, from being welcomed as soon as we walked in. The staff were very friendly and explained all the details of what was available to us. It was...a lovely experience and would definitely recommend it. 10 out of 10.More
Everything was perfect, delicious sandwiches, beautiful scones and yummy cakes. Everyone was so friendly, a really enjoyable afternoon, so pleased I choose this place for afternoon tea.
This was a really fab place for a wonderful afternoon tea. It has a great ambience and the staff are friendly. A brilliant way to spend my birthday, and well worth upgrading to bottomless tea!
We're glad to hear we could help make your birthday special. Thank you for the lovely comments, it means alot to hear from you and knowing we're doing things right! Dee
Myself and a friend came for afternoon tea and it was such a lovely experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We upgraded to unlimited tea so that we could try a variety of their different teas and they were all lovely! The food...was brilliant, the perfect amount and really good quality for the price. Overall we were really impressed and have both said we would like to return in the future!More
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased you opted to try our bottomless tea to experience a variety of our flavours, we'd love to hear which was your favourite tea next time! Hope to see you soon. Dee
Was in Nottingham for work and was recommended this place for lunch. Such a cute and calm atmosphere. Wanted to write a review as the owners were really lovely and helped me pick a tea. They recommended the tea Ghost Town as I didn’t want...anything too sweet - it was delish!! Had a Country Ploughman’s sandwich and a brownie to eat and was all really yummy. Will deffo be coming back next time I’m in Nottingham :)More
Thank you for your lovely review. So glad you popped in and enjoyed your experience, it's the personal touches we really think count and to hear it made your visit better is what makes us happy. Hope to see you soon!
I don't leave reviews but when businesses lie you really do need to for the sake of potential customers... Me and my family all came here for afternoon tea and we all left feeling underwhelmed. The grapes were mouldy as stated in the previous review...and your reply “one was on the turn” is just not true. At least 7/8 grapes had fur on, I presume you wash them before handing them out? The staff were stand off ish and the space crowded. (Reply will likely be patronising see below) However.. I do bet you can have a lovely afternoon here if you are dining for 2 and they carefully check the fruit, however at the cost of over £90 I wish I just hosted the event in my livingroom.More
We came here today for a baby shower. I had contacted in advance regarding dietary requirements for our Afternoon Tea and paid a £25 deposit. We arrived and it was very cramped. Not much room. For us to manoeuvre, especially our pregnant party. We ordered,...adding an extra hot chocolate and juice, which should have been an additional £9. (Expensive but it was a celebration). Our Afternoon Tea arrived. It was very cramped for space, not comfortable at all. The sandwiches were OK. The scones were lovely jam and cream served in old gu dessert pots. The other cakes were OK. The fruit however, we noticed was mouldy. I raised this and the staff member took it away. She said "it shouldn't be, it was off the delivery this morning." I did think they were very lucky to get Sunday deliveries, I also thought it strange that no real apology or replacement was offered. We finished the scones the decided to leave. I asked for the bill, but no bill arrived. A different staff member arrived with the card machine. Surprisingly we had to pay £96! I asked if this was with the deposit taken off and was told yes. The email said we would pay £79 on the day. With the extra, that should have only been £88. The staff member didn't present a paper bill and whe asked just said it was correct. Not wanting to spoil the celebrations, I just paid it. I can only presume they charged £8 for the too water?! Overall, it wasn't great. I wouldn't go back there are nicer Afternoon Teas in Nottingham for the same price, where there is more space and edible fruit.More
Hi Diane, We've taken some extra time to take in your 2* review so thank you for bearing with us while we got back to you. One issue you raised was that our tea house is small and cramped. We wouldn't disagree that the teahouse...More
It’s not cheap, but worth every penny. Teas, cappuccino were delicious. All the food really good, but the husband/wife owners are delightful. Passionate about what they do and very welcoming. Thank you Trip Advisor for leading us here.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the great review! We don't nearly get as much attention on our coffee as we should because we think its great too, glad you mentioned it. You get bonus points too for paying Dee and I compliments - Darren
Absolutely delicious bakes, wonderful tea with plenty of flavours, incredibly charming shop and lovely staff! We always stop by when in town
Thanks Imogen, really happy to read you've been enjoying what we do at the tea house. We'll have to keep adding new flavours of teas and cakes just to keep things interesting for you! - Darren
Lovely cakes and coffee . Very friendly staff, highly recommended. Vegan choices were great and fairly priced. Definitely a hidden gem :)
Thanks so much and great to hear an acknowledgement of Dee's excellent vegan bakes too! - Darren
While visiting Nottingham we decided to try Biscuit and Brew Tea House. So pleased we did! On arrival we were greeted and Darren explained what was on offer on the menu. We chose the scones with jam and cream, plus a latte and a banana...milkshake. The scones were delicious , the latte was lovely and hot and the banana milkshake was to die for !! A wonderful little tea house with an array of teas to choose from and friendly staff . Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area .More
Hi Colleen, thanks for the nice words and so glad you had a nice experience at our little shop. I think I might have baked those scones and it's rare that I get to take a compliment on my baking (it's nearly always Dee's work)...More
Lovely little tea room in the centre of Nottingham, a hidden gem for sure! Darren and Dee who run it are so lovely and have such an incredible knowledge of different teas, flavours, scents. Not only that but it's definitely a relaxing vibe; I would...100% take my laptop and headphones and get some work done whilst sipping on a cup of tea, watching the world go by outside. Definitely go, you won't regret it 😊More
Hi Katrina, thanks for the kind words! Not everyone mentions the knowledge or the vibe here but we aim to do well on both. We were aiming for 'your front room' when we put together the shop but have been working with tea for ages....More
Lovely little tea shop - such a variety of teas ! Other drinks are available ! The cakes we had were delicious and good value for money !Will definitely make a return visit some time!
Hi Carol thanks for your review! It's lovely to hear you enjoyed your visit; we hope to recreate it again soon! - Darren
I love this place! I went there this week with my sister for afternoon tea. It was simply amazing! The place is quite small but beautifully decorated. They had scent bottles of the different teas. We had the bottomless tea and tried four, watermelon sugar,...salted caramel, LOVE blend and Jaffa cake. Everything was delicious. The sandwiches were delicious and the scones and biscuits too. There was also bits of fruit on the beautiful plata. I had written a review on another site giving them four stars and I was totally impressed that someone called my sister to discuss our review and apologise for a minor mistake that happened. Hence the totally deserved five star review. The place is lovely, good service and delicious food. What’s not to like? We even bought a sample of our favourite tea. Be sure to ask for the bundle of different teas so you could try them at home instead of buying just one. Yes, go to biscuit and brew, you deserve a treat! I’d go back there if I go to Nottingham again.More
Hi Linda, we're really happy you got to enjoy so much at the shop and it's really thoughtful of you to write out such a detailed review, we really do appreciate every word. Hope you enjoyed the tea you took home as much as the...More
Found this really lovely place whilst strolling through the city. Great to see another Independent restaurant/tea house pop up and this is especially good. An amazing selection of teas which is clearly a specialism and we will definitely be back to try some of these...(the chocolate digestive blend sounds awesome!). We had scrambled eggs which were excellent and such a big portion. The cakes and scones on display looked very appetising. Great service and a very warm welcome. Loved it!More
Thanks so much for the great review Fin, we worked really hard early on to curate a menu full of interesting flavoured teas and it's certainly validating to hear you are enjoying them. Hope you can start working your way through them soon! - Darren
