    Received a gift card for Christmas to go here. I did not know what to expect, but we had a wonderful time. The tea was flavorful and the food was delicious. It is te right bite size portion. The staff and service was exceptional . The setting was nice, quaint and quiet and we were able to communicate and hear each other. We enjoyed it that we will do it again. We had a ball.

    Had to update my review for Emma's after my third or fourth visit. I love that Emma's is so understated and charming compared to other places offering high tea. Is it just me or has every other high tea I've ever been to been like $100 per person and super bougie but with mediocre tea trays? Emma's isn't like that. It's casual and cozy and approachable and affordable. And yet still super English. Ploughman's Platter? They have it. Cheese and pickle sandwich (or "sarnie")(made with Branston pickle - not pickles - just FYI if you haven't had it before)? They have it. Bangers? They've got 'em. Toasties? Yep. Scones, Victoria sponge, strawberries and cream (seasonally)? Yep, yep, yep. All the classic tea choices. They offer several set menu tea options with different things included and different prices. They even offer a mini me high tea for kids. The last several times I've been I've had the tea & sarnie with the cheese & pickle sandwich and a pot of either China Breakfast or Jasmine or Earl Grey. I couldn't love their cheese & pickle sandwich more. It may not be for everyone but I love Branston pickle and their sandwich could not be more simple or satisfying. The service is great, and they have a little shop in the back where they sell some British goods, including jars of Branston pickle. And it's cute without being kitschy, tea without being fussy. I just enjoy it. Check it out if you love tea with options, British classics, good service, and spots with charm.

    A cute no frills tea place in the Hamilton / Bel Air neighborhood and such a special place in the city. Authentically British and costs $20 for a pot of tea and savory sandwiches. I first came here in 2022 and just went back and I forgot how much I loved it. It's quite spacious inside so it's good for groups and couples alike. There is a small store in the inside where you can get British goods. The service is order at the counter and they bring you water (most recently they gave us giant copper mugs which is so perfect for me as I drink a lot of water). The owner was there the first time we went and she was lovely. I've done high teas in NYC and this is a far better experience. I've tried the onion and cheese toastie and the horseradish and beef toasties. They're both good but the onion and cheese is memorable. Very classic and something you don't find too often. The teas come in the cutest little cover to keep warm. A must in Balitmore!
