“A Memorable Experience...”

Dear Kimberly, This is just a short note to say thank you for our lovely evening at Tea Grannys and Friends. We feel that you went to a lot of trouble for us and if you treat all your customers as you did us, your tea room will be a roaring success. Thank you again for a memorable experience.

“Make an appointment soon to experience this memorable event of days gone by....”

'What a wonderful afternoon we spent with Lady Kimberly at her adorable tea parlour in Newtonville! There are so many lovely artifacts, photos, costumes. One feels like we are taken back to the period when afternoon tea – especially High Tea was in fact something to be savoured and slowly enjoyed. Lady Kimberly’s expertise over many years shows her impeccable 3-tiered presentation of culinary delights! Her assorted 5 crimped sandwiches are so delicious, we wished they never ended, even though the portions were generous! Authentic scones baked to perfection and served warm, with butter, preserves were pure heaven! Now the mouthwatering assortments of sweets, pastry twists, brownies, strawberry mousse, lemon curd shortbread, etc. Each more amazing than the next! Finally on our top tier of our gorgeous China serving plate of fresh fruit portions to end the feast. Never-ending tea of course, chosen from her 70 flavour selections. Cute little gift shop with tea related trinkets, greeting cards, China. Gift Certificates for special occasions – sure to please anyone! Make an appointment soon to experience this memorable event of days gone by. You won’t be disappointed.'

“Great experience start to finish....”

Great experience start to finish. The food was also fantastic. I appreciated that she was not only able to accommodate for me being a vegetarian, but did it well and it was delicious. The decor was great and the history interesting. Would definitely recommend Lady Kimberly’s tea experience.

“The whole valuable, creative and inspiring experience I will be happy to repeat....”

Lady Kimberly,
Your love to victorian times is contagious. I think, I will search for more info about it now! My husband and I just had a valuable time experiencing your passion. We both are impressed how well you were able to turn your hobby into business like this. It is obvious you put your heart into it. Our recent visit at "Tea Grannys and Friends" not only taught us a lesson, but also brought back memories from childchood. Your stories, pictures, all victorian costumes, furniture, paintings, many other symbolic gadgets from almost two centuries ago (hand made fabrics and crochet!) created an amazing, welcomed atmosphere that took us back to those times. Not only Marocan or Eggnog teas were delicious, but of course your food! The whole valuable, creative and inspiring experience I will be happy to repeat. Thank you for all you shared with us. I certainly can recommend this place to everyone.
All the best to you and your husband -
from Lady Beata and Lord Jerry.

“The authentic approach to this experience made it truly unique....”

Tea Granny’s was an incredible experience. Lady Kimberley and the authentic approach to this experience made it truly unique. Lady Kimberley, dressed in full Victorian era style, greeted us with a warm smile and a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. I took my sister here for a 50th birthday celebration surprise and it was perfect! The tea (over 70 to choose from), the sandwiches, and the pastries were so fresh and delicious and are prepared and baked on the day of the experience. We were provided with amazing details on the history of the time and learned so much. We now know the difference between what we erroneously referred to as High Tea, and the Afternoon Tea that we actually enjoyed! 5+ experience and highly recommend.

On behalf of my partner and I, we would like to sincerely thank you for a wonderful Tea Experience! We recently brought my Mother for her birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed your hospitality, tasty food and the Victorian ambiance of your tearoom. What a pleasure to find such a local gem.

My partner has also been back on several occasions to enjoy Tea Experience, as well as attending your elegant candlelight evening teas and dinner parties. What a wonderful idea! She always boasts to family and friends about your wonderful business. I also know that she has booked a baby shower in June for a good friend and is looking forward to bringing more guests to experience the wonder of the Victorian era, which, you have presented in such fine detail.

Thank you again for making my Mother’s birthday so special! We look forward to visiting Tea Grannys and Friends again soon!
