We celebrate our sorority's anniversary with Vintage Tea and Cake every year. They're very accommodating with allergies, always have a wonderful selection of teas and everyone there is so friendly. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or just a fancy little tea party.

This is an excellent value for the money, especially compared to Boston tea rooms. We came for a birthday celebration, and the guest of honor very much enjoyed it. The decor is cozy, with flowers and tea sets throughout, and they had a nice playlist going, jazzy but not intrusive. There were no other reservations that hour, so we had the place to ourselves. Our tea came in individual pots and cups, all charmingly mismatched. The food came on tiered dishes and everything was very good. We especially liked the chicken salad. This is more of a heavy snack than a full meal. Parking is on the street but it is not a busy stretch even on a Saturday afternoon. Overall impression: we would definitely return for a celebration or special outing.

The high tea experience on Mothers Day was just what my mom and sister were looking for. Appreciated the varieties of hot tea. The desserts and small sandwiches were tasty.

I heavily regret to say this was the worst experience ever in Tea Service! We arrived here promptly at 10:00 AM as it was the only availability for Mother's Day. Firstly, I wasn't entirely thrilled about the tacky decor with peeled wallpaper. I understand they were trying to be vintage and eclectic, but it looked very cheesy to me as mismatched, teapots and plates and cups was displayed for a yard sale. On top of it they had very dirty filmy water glasses on the table which is very interesting considering we're there for tea. Why on earth would you have bottled water in Tea service? I requested another glass so our server literally picked the other glass from another table which was equally if not more filmy. Here's the most annoying part. We were there on time at 10 o'clock and there were two other parties that came literally 5 to 10 minutes after we were seated. What I don't understand is these two other parties had their tea and tea plates first and we are literally sitting there with the tea we ordered without anything to eat. Our server seemed to be overwhelmed, unnecessarily considering it wasn't crazy busy with a line out the door on the contrary, there were a couple of empty tables. There was no real reason for us to wait for our food. We waited for a good 20 minutes. We did not complain at all, but our server knew that we weren't happy based on my husband's very hungry expression and my silence. She however, apologized voluntarily about the wait and said "Sorry for the wait ...as you can see we're quite overwhelmed". When our tea tower finally came, it looked fine except we were missing the two scones. She never checked up on us and when we flagged her down regarding our missing scones. She comes back with the two ugliest scones ever one tiny one and one large one. This place lacks the high tea experience in every way.

They seemed to be understaffed and the one person working seemed a bit overwhelmed. Food was fine, but not great. Cute tea sets.

FAQs

The Vintage Tea and Cake Company, Belmont is a small, quaint tearoom playing soothing French jazz, with mismatched china, lace tablecloths and a cozy, nostalgic vibe ideal for intimate gatherings.

Business casual is the guide, neat, put‑together and comfortable rather than formal, though some guests choose slightly dressier 'tea party' or celebration attire for special occasions.

Yes, The Belmont tearoom is family-friendly: guests regularly bring children, mention a kids menu or kids selection, and describe birthday parties and children enjoying hot chocolate.

Fridays tend to be the quietest time, while weekends often bring more energy and busier visits, expect a livelier room for celebrations or large meet-ups.
