    The place is adorable but very small. The inside can only seat so many people but there is outdoor seating as well. We visited after lunch so we had the afternoon tea dish which comes with a three tier dish and a small pot of tea. The bottom tier is 6 very tiny sandwiches (2 chicken, 2 salmon, 2 cucumber - eachabout 2 bites). The middle tier is two scones and a strawberry sauce and some kind of buttercream sauce - I might add the scones were extremely dry. The top tier is desserts - some kind of parfait, a lavender sugar cookie, a strawberry shortcake cake, a chocolate dipped strawberry, and a macaroon. The tea pot is small and enough for about 3 cups of tea but you can upgrade for a larger pot for an additional cost. It's definitely a shareable dish but definitely not a hearty shareable dish. If you're visiting on an empty stomach you will need more sandwiches or another dish. They have a large variety of teas and appear to serve Harney & Sons. They serve the tea in the tea pot and offer a cup sifter, tiny little golden tea spoons, cute little teacups, milk and cream (as desired) on the side, as well as cubed sugar. We have visited other tea concept restaurants across Arizona and this place was more about the experience. It is quite the drive from Phoenix and the west side but located in a shopping center that you can explore. Overall, if you're looking to experience an English style tea place, this is a nice little place to try.

    I can not say enough good things about the English Rose Tea Room. It had been recommended to me by multiple locals and stated I had to bring my daughter there. We bought matching dresses and made an impromptu trip there today. It was very busy! The place was hopping. Multiple tables of bridal parties, baby shower parties and birthday parties…. Everyone dressed up and looking fabulous. I entered and asked for a table for two. The woman asked if I had a reservation. At that point I realized I probably needed one and especially on a busy holiday weekend. The woman was very kind and said she could squeeze us in before a 3pm bridal party reservation. I thanked her up and down ensuring her I’d make sure we were done by then. We enjoyed the Kids Food Tower and my salad. Recommendations on the food and tea from the waitress were wonderful and the service was friendly and patient from start to finish. We made sure we cleared our table before 3pm and thanked everyone for letting us squeeze in. We will be making reservations in the future and inviting sister and auntie!!

    The town's charm is undeniable, with the English Rose Tea Room being a standout gem. Suitable for all ages, it is an absolute must-visit, offering the perfect backdrop for romantic evenings, girls' getaways, Mother's Day celebrations, Father-Daughter bonding, or simply a day of pampering. The addition of dress-up hats further elevates the experience. Definitely call for reservations, its not a big space and very popular.

    My second time here and reservations are a must. Stopped by during cave creek’s restaurant week and scored a mini pot pie, salad and pumpkin scone. Paired it with the Paris tea and it was all delicious. Our server was Makayla and she did a great job taking care of us. Looking forward to coming back again.

    The moment you walk into the shop, the smell was so fragrant and beautiful. The decor was gorgeous, and my sister said it was the best decorated high tea shop she has ever been to. I requested high tea for my Bachelorette, and my sister's surprised me with this place. The food was delicious, the tea was amazing, and the ambiance was truly memorable. The staff here did an amazing job at explaining and suggesting certain items.

    English Rose Tea Room was a great experience for me. I went to celebrate a beautiful woman birthday. The roses, flowers, flavored teas and arrangement was just like having a tea party as a little girl. Highly recommend this place.

    I'd say a 5 star. All because the staff was very polite and catered our personal preference like we're even able to pick out gluten-free options with our 3 tiered sandwiches. Food was delicious i was surprised with the scone. It's the best and now my no.1 scone in the entire Arizona. Haha! I was with a large group of women from our women's ministry and Jo the owner was so accommodating to all of us. The ambiance was charming and inviting. Love the floral decor and the tea room. I'd love to come back..
