Meh! We had a big group that ate in the back room—even with just our 10 the room was very loud (all hard surfaces bounce the sound back at you). The food was bland and unremarkable. I had soup and sandwiches, and the only choice of soup was baked potato soup. It had no flavor and was mildly warm. My tea was fine.

Sometimes, we plan one thing but end up randomly opting for something entirely different. Yet, it's these impromptu plans and spontaneous destinations that often turn the day into something extraordinary.Here I find myself at Tea Elle Garden cafe, a charming spot known for its country style cafe that serves different belended teas along with breakfast and lunch. Having the breakfast on Sundays outside is like a gathering on mornings for random conversations and try different food to experience the satisfaction what our soul wants .The conversations here evoke the spirit of "chai pe charcha," but with a twist—instead of various discussions over traditional Indian tea, the focus shifts to different tea varieties of western style.There's a noticeable distinction in both ambiance and tea selection, reminiscent of the difference between class and mass. Opting for the Caramel Chai from the menu, I found its flavor enhanced with the addition of milk, as recommended. While I enjoyed the unique taste, it's essential to note that the tea experience here differs from the authentic Indian chai we're accustomed to; it's a delightful deviation more aligned with Western tea culture.The cheesy chicken mushroom sautéed with onions and wrapped inside a spinach tortilla is a delight with every bite. It's intriguing how some people don't fancy mushrooms, despite their role as taste enhancers akin to sautéed onions. In fact often considered as vegetables , mushrooms which are fungi are neither a plant nor animal. Referred to as the elixir of life mushrooms hold a unique place in culinary and biological realms alike.The garden omelette, comprising basic ingredients such as mushrooms, onions, spinach, and jack cheese, wasn't as flavorful as the previous dish. However, its taste was well-balanced, especially when paired with the perfectly roasted hash browns.Finally, we arrive at the desserts, a delightful choice even during breakfast. These buttery, flaky, light golden scones infused with flavors like cranberry and butterscotch indeed tasted heavenly with each bite. Topping them with cream feels like indulging in sweet bliss, enhancing the tenderly delightful experience.I will definitely come again to try again.

The Management here is extremely terrible. The last 3 times I’ve been here, they’ve been out of creamer and hot water?? They also don’t brew their teas right so I guess only come here if you’re willing to spend $11 on a tea that’s bitter, cold, and flavorless. The service was okay but granted there were only 2 servers on a really busy day. My server did her best but I also saw she was serving many other parties. Management is a mess here. Finally, it’s horrendously overpriced…

Food- There is a whole lot of things on the menu to choose from. We got the afternoon tea which included six sandwiches, three dessert, one scone and one kind of tea. The desserts were sub par. The chocolate chip scone was fresh and good. Cucumber sandwich and turkey ones were good as well.Tea- was okay.Atmosphere- they have tried to make it look nice but doesn’t seem to be that fancy. The tea cups or kettle are just average. I mean it’s average but also makes sense coz we paid 60 bucks for an afternoon tea.Service- I would rate it a 3/10. Called in to check for reservations but they asked us to walk in. Later they said we didn’t reserve. Also the waitress was a bit rude.

The food was fresh, and the presentation was just gorgeous. My group and I all had a variety of meals, and everyone only had good things to say. We had 4 different types of teas in our group, and each one was delicious in their own way. Staff was friendly. Wasn't too overly busy on a Sunday late morning. Would definitely visit again once I'm back in town.

This was my first time visiting Tea Elle C Garden Cafe. I was greeted right away and made to feel welcome. My friend met me a short time later. We elected to enjoy our lunch and tea on the patio. Our server greeted us, took care of our order, and came back several times throughout our meal to make sure we had our every need met. Our lunch was delicious, the teas we chose were delightful, and our desserts were out of this world. You just have to try their scones! We purchased some tea to take home. I will definitely be returning for another visit!

Worst item - you don’t get your own teapot. One teapot at a time per four guests. Quite annoying and I’ve never experienced that at a high tea anywhere in the world. Next annoying thing was no serving pieces for cream, scones, petit fours or sandwiches. Then, even sharing teapots they wanted to charge extra for a 6th pot with 5 adults and 2 kids. Outrageous. Food was good. Things that shouldn’t be were chocolate covered like key lime pie and cheesecake. Tea was either brewed too much or not enough about half the time. Had to get our own high chair. Had to ask multiple times for straws and napkins. Wouldn’t make us an iced tea. Sandwiches took a long time to arrive.
