  This is a lovely quaint tea room. They play some era of music quietly in the background allow for a feeling of relaxation. The tea was presented well as well as the interior. If ever in the area, I highly recommend it.

  Great little place! We came here for afternoon tea and were able to have the whole tea room privately! It was a lovely intimate setting and the place was quite quirky! Lots of tea, cakes and sandwiches 🙂

  Moderately priced, a pot of fragrant tea costs only 2.50 and theres plenty of selections to choose from. Each time I head there I choose something that goes with my mood. Cakes varies on each visit, displayed proudly on crystal glass cake stands. I do adore their super moist red velvet cakes, and caramel surprise Portuguese custard tarts. thefoodconnoisseur.co.uk

  Unwelcoming atmosphere.. From the moment we arrived, we were interrogated by the waitress who wanted to seat myself and my 4 colleagues downstairs.’Do you think you’ll be here for more than an hour?’ she asked.Apparently there was a booking downstairs in an hour.’We’re not sure.’ I replied.I suggested to my colleagues that we sat upstairs, as there were two free tables.With a surprised look on her face, she rudely insisted ‘Oh really?! Most people leave within an hour.’Completely bewildered by her attitude, I firmly responded ‘Well, we’re having a catchup and don’t want to feel pressured.’In somewhat of an inconvenience, she seated us upstairs with two tables pushed together. That set the tone for the rest of our visit.Such a shame that the service was so poor and the atmosphere so frosty, because the cakes, coffee, tea and sandwiches were all lovely. Also the waitress who arrived shortly before we left was perfectly pleasant.Safe to say, I won’t be returning here.

  I bet you’ve never heard of a dress up brunch – Betty Blythe is an unashamedly feminine set of tea rooms with 1920’s dress up boxes set in the quiet of suburban Olympia.We’re here today for Brunch – and we have the place to ourselves. All the better for getting stuck into the delights of the treasure chests. There are hats, necklaces, gloves, wraps, shawls, all crying out to be draped all over you and engaged in much silliness. Dressing up does occupy most of our attention to begin but once we’ve finally stopped playing, we turn our attention to breakfast. We’re here for a continental brunch and we start off with Tea (Bollywood Chai for me and a more sedate English breakfast for Sister) and Pastries – Choc croissants for both!Next up, granola with yoghurt, honey & berries. Nothing makes you feel more virtuous than granola for breakfast.We should have definitely paid a lot more attention to the menu, but the description of our brunch happened while we were distracted by hats, so we were entirely unprepared for still more food – this time in the form of the most delicious breads. Walnut & what I think might be sourdough with butter and jam to finish off.We were offered fruit to finish but there’s no way we could fit anything else in. A very healthy and delicious start to the day – with the added fun of dressing up!I will definitely be back – they offer to arrange afternoon tea for groups and really, that is just crying out to get a few girlfriends together and play vintage dress up again very soon. inher30s.com
