Adorable. Love the decor and set up. Private rooms were available and each one was beautifully decorated. Very English looking, antiquated. As you enter, an array of tea cups will catch the eye! Hats or fascinators are offered. The hostess took a while to sit us but we browsed and were enthralled by everything we saw. The food was good, sandwiches and scones and dessert. A great choice of tea was offered and of course changeable if needed. Service was amazing to ensure we had what we needed. Reservations are encouraged. This is a definite must try and a must experience. Way to experience an afternoon high tea.

We absolutely love the Crowning Glory Tea Room! It's such a unique experience unlike others in the valley. My daughters loved getting to pick their own unique tea pot/cup set to use. The food is always tasty and the teas are all very good as well.

This was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, as well as a reminder to slow down and appreciate all the little things in life. Food was scrumptious, business is decorated beautifully, and the staff is polite, welcoming and wonderful people. We will return soon!

Basically you go here for the experience. But pricey for what you actually get. It’s $51 a person but we left so hungry. You basically get the equivalent of one whole sandwich and a few desserts. Tea was good though and atmosphere was good.

We enjoyed our experience of afternoon tea in the French room. Great decor, fun trying on the hats and fascinators, friendly and attentive servers, liked the idea of choosing your own teapot and a nice choice of teas. The sandwiches and cakes were very good and provided great flavors. The grapes and fromage Frais were a nice extra touch. Some feedback: not impressed with the American style scones, really would have liked British Scones, to make it more authentic and cream was not Devonshire as indicated. I had a fruit tea but others in the group didn't enjoy the black tea, too weak.

This tea room is so wonderful! The tea and food are delicious and the ambiance is so relaxing. My three year old daughter loved her first "tea party"! They let her choose a stuffy to have tea with and take home, which was an unexpected surprise! My mom is gluten free and they served her a separate tray of similar offerings to ours. She said it was delicious. We will definitely be returning!

Crowning Glory Tea Room left us with mixed feelings during our recent visit. Unfortunately, we weren't greeted for several minutes upon arrival. The overall atmosphere seemed like an American interpretation of English High Tea rather than an authentic experience. The sandwiches were tasty, but the scones were bite-sized and more reminiscent of American scones, served with whipped cream and a small amount of jam. The presence of what appeared to be local church kids working there also seemed odd and unconventional. After we finished eating (as it was pre-paid), we felt unsure of what to do next and ended up just leaving. We were not thanked or acknowledged as we left. For a truly authentic English high tea experience with real English scones and clotted cream, I would recommend going to The Phoenician Hotel. Alternatively, the English Tea Room in Carefree, which offers a fusion of American and English items, also provides an awesome experience.

This is such a cute place! Love all of the Saint aesthetic rooms and the staff and owner are so sweet! Love the tea selections and I loved that we got to pick out our own tea hats and/or fasteners at the beginning. Will be coming back with more people very soon! ?

This charming tea house is very unique, in that you choose a "room" that will fit your party. There are no doors that close off the room, but it feels very intimate. The décor is very quaint with antique furniture, Knick knacks , curtains and pillows. You choose your personal teapot with cup and saucer. There was also a rack with many styles of tea hats that you could wear (very cute). There is an extensive tea menu with choices ranging between fruity, spicy and more traditional teas. A good sized tower of café and baked goods is provided and most of them were good. There were several sandwich options, a large quarter of a full sandwich in 4 types, chicken, tuna, cucumber and ham per person. The sweets were scones, cakes and a cookie. I enjoyed the overall ambience and that is really what you are paying for, the experience.
