Tea Time - Palo Alto

We decided to give this restaurant a try based on the positive reviews we read. Unfortunately, the boba tea was disappointing, as were the teas we ordered - they were not only lacking in quality but also overpriced. It's possible that we visited at a bad time, but with other tea options nearby, we are unlikely to return.

Note that this cute tea shop is a sole proprietorship. For one person, he keeps the food warm and the teapots cozy. He has required ordering ahead, and given the variety of the menu, I can see why. Service is no-frills friendly.

A wonderful choice for catering events. I'm a graduate student at Stanford who hosts residential events. Tea Time is a great option: everyone loved the beautiful ceramic teaware and the elegant serving trays for tea food (we had scones, sandwiches, and eclairs . Catering works best for larger events because it reduces the proportion of the fixed costs (set up, etc. relative to the tea and food provided. I hosted an event for around thirty residents.Service: Excellent; I called the day before and they were still able to arrange something for me the following day. They helped me set up and take down the event, and they were very friendly throughout the entire process.Tea: The tea was lovely. We had an herbal and green tea, which both had a lovely fruity undertone.Food: Only my guests ate because we ran out, but that is a positive sign about the quality of the food: everyone was eager to grab another morsel.As far as Palo Alto is concerned, there isn't really another business like Tea Time. Please support it so it can continue to delight our area!

I have never really liked tea however today I had the best time having the full afternoon tea. The tea itself was absolutely delicious. The food was great, the little sandwich's and all the little bites were so good. They were even supper nice when I asked about my food allergies they made me a plate that didn't touch anything I could have. I can't wait to have another tea party with Tea Time

We recently visited Tea Time for the second time and had an amazing experience. The July Special Afternoon Tea was delicious, filling, and complemented perfectly by the English Rose and Rooibos teas. It was a wonderful breakfast experience! We appreciate the kind and helpful service from Tim and the staff.
