The Vintage Tea and Cake Company Lexington

This charming tea house in Lexington, MA, is a delightful spot that welcomes families, including children. They offer a kids’ menu, making it a family-friendly choice. Reservations are necessary and can conveniently be made online. For adults, there’s a vegetarian option available, catering to different dietary preferences. While the teas are served from tea bags rather than being freshly brewed, the establishment also provides alternatives like apple juice and hot chocolate for those who might not prefer tea. Uniquely, the tea house does not have a cashier; guests are asked to wait at the door upon arrival, where a staff member will greet them, check their reservation, and handle payment using a portable device.

I took my mother-in-law here for her first high tea experience ever and…she LOVED it! 💖

We had such a wonderful time. The owner is very kind and she’s from England! The decor is beautiful. I love all the unique and pretty tea pots and tea cups. It’s also nice that they offer a vegetarian selection of the tea sandwiches and it’s much appreciated!

Each bite of food was absolutely delicious from the sweets to the scones, from the sandwiches to the fresh jam + cream. We will definitely come back again soon!

We also loved our tea. I got the vanilla chai which was absolutely divine and my mother-in-law got the classic English breakfast tea. We sat in the window seat in the sunshine and had a very special afternoon. Thank you! 💖🫖✨

I celebrated my birthday here with afternoon tea. It was a wonderful experience. We were treated to an assortment of thoughtfully prepared savory and sweet treats to accompany our teas. The Lexington location is bright and airy and also offers alcohol options. We will be back for teatime! 🫖

Loved the setting and environment, decor was lovely and the treats and tea were delicious. We especially enjoyed the deviled egg finger sandwich and the chicken salad, as well as the orange cinnamon spice tea

This was my first time here and what a gem of a find!! For a very reasonable price (relative to other tea rooms in the MA), you get plenty of treats and a big pot of tea! (They give refills of hot water too.)

Incredible. Also the staff and ambience were super cute!! Looking forward to coming back here again and again.

We opted for the delivered catering at home for a baby shower. Adel and her team were so easy and pleasant to work with! Food was delicious, custom service was impeccable and Donna nailed the set up helping make our vision come to light! Highly recommend the Vintage Tea Company and c look forward to working with them again in the future! Thanks so much!!

Met some friends here and took our daughters out for high tea. The space and experience was truly so special! I had a pot of rooibos tea and the vegetarian pre fixe menu. Everything was delicious. One of the reasons we chose this tea room was for their children's menu. My daughter loved drinking her apple juice from her fancy tea cup and her own tea pot (they also had a hot tea or hot chocolate option for children) and the tiny cupcake with the purple frosting made her day. There was a lot of fine china and glass so a bit to manage (ie be nervous about) with a little one but again, so special and worth it. Very reasonably priced compared to other tea rooms.

The online reservation was easy to use and when I had to change our head count it was simple to email and I got a quick response back. One server managed the tea room today and was friendly and attentive. We told her we didn't mind a leisurely lunch and enjoyed almost 2 hours there.

This place is so cute! I came here on a whim and will absolutely be coming back. The teas were delicious and the little sandwiches and sweets were so delightful! I felt like a princess eating here. The decorations were very charming, and our server was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to show this place to more of my friends. Parking was super easy as well.

We held a baby shower at their Lexington location and it was wonderful. The location is beautiful and the staff is amazing - So friendly and accommodating. I planned the event from across the country and Adel, the owner, made it easy a d deamless. Everything turned out perfectly. Highly, highly recommend.

It's really cute in here! I loved the different plates, cups, teapots, and everything on each table. Every one is unique and beautiful. Our server was so nice, a sweet girl with blond hair and green earrings - she was taking orders and delivering just about everything, so she was very busy!

We came for a double date with our friends and two of us got to try their new lunch menu which comes with the quiche of the day, two soup options, and then scones or cake, and tea of course! The quiches and soups looked really good and were said to taste good too. Maybe I'll try that option next time! The other two of us got the tower of sandwiches and goodies. Everything was delicious. Smoked salmon sandwiches were a table favorite.

The tea list was very surprising - lots of unique choices for every palate. We all got something different and everyone was very happy with their choices. I would recommend people to remove the pouch with your tea in it after a few minutes (unless you got an herbal tea) otherwise things can get bitter.

Can't wait to come back :)

I had a bridal shower here in September. It was exactly what we were looking for. All of the food was delicious, the tea and drinks also, and the servers were wonderful and attentive. Will definitely be coming back to really sit and enjoy the experience!

My mom and I hosted my sister’s bridal shower at the Lexington tea room last weekend. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. They let us bring in decorations and cake but honestly we needed none of it. The room was already nicely decorated and set up when we arrived. The staff was accommodating to my mom’s need for gluten free food and my sister being a vegetarian. They let us use their sign holder and even gave us to go boxes for leftovers. The price was very reasonable for what they provided Absolutely fantastic experience! I would highly recommend a private party here.

Thank you for offering beautiful and delicious plant based (aka vegan) options, and patience with us as we were the last table to leave. You made us feel welcome all afternoon.

Loved the ambiance and the decoration around the place! It was so pretty and well set. The food was beautifully presented and very delicious! Surprisingly the portion size was pretty good and everyone was full after the meal. The tea selection was also quite vast and tasted delightful. A wonderful experience and would highly recommend :))

This was my first visit to the tea room and it definitely won’t be my last visit. Everything about this establishment was excellent including the decor, china, food, tea and especially our server, Zoe! Quite a find!!

Went for afternoon tea with a group of four today. We had a wonderful time. Donna was our server and she did an outstanding job - pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, did not make us feel rushed at all. The food selection offered a good variety of delicious sandwiches and goodies. Look forward to a return visit.

Went there recently and thoroughly enjoyed the place. The decor is very on theme, and each teapot is different, with it's theme based of off the tea. I got a orange cinnamon herbal tea, but we all shared our tea so I also tried some others. The teas were all very good, and I recommend the one I got for kids and people that like herbal tea. The finger sandwiches were amazing. I got the normal one, but tried peicesf of the vegetarian one and the vegetarian one was much better. The pastries were also really good.

I was meeting friends there - I ended up being very late but the staff didn’t miss a beat! They got me tea and food and were absolutely charming. In fact, the whole place is charming. I HIGHLY recommend. The only drawback is that it’s a bit noisy when you get all the tables full of happy customers chatting and having a lovely tea.

Fantastic, Fabulous and Fun. When I walked in, I was greeted by a wonderful server (Ellie) who always had a smile on her face and attended to our every need. The menu was diverse and had something for all of us. The tea was delicious and the scones were scrumptious. Will certainly be a good choice for any tea lovers

I went to this place on its 2nd day open to celebrate my bday with my sister, though I had no idea it was THAT new! It was very cute inside, loved all the mismatched tea cups/plates and especially each unique tea pot! They had a nice big tea menu and a cute tower of afternoon tea appropriate yummy food. The little tea sandwiches were especially good! The only thing that could be improved on was that there was no instruction given by our, very friendly, waitress. We were given the tea menu first, but didn't know that were supposed to pick 1 per person for your tea pot, and the food menu, was simple, but a little simple instruction would have been very helpful (you pick either the January/Vegetarian/Kids menu for each person and get everything on that particular menu). They had nice jazz music playing, too. We really enjoyed ourselves, it was unique and yummy and a really great place to have a wonderful chat over really nice tea, definitely recommend! Made reservations online. It was quite packed, so I wish them continued luck! Would love to return.
