I loved this place- from the pink and vibrant exterior to the interior signs and decorations. Your eyes will not get bored.
I didn’t want to sit in a packed place to have a quick lunch and get some work done. The food combinations seemed great. I am not a huge dessert person but they said they bake the scones when you order them- who can say no to that? I didn’t and I enjoyed it. Great lemon curd and cream cheese combination served to enhance. Delicious.
Keep returning and love it as much every time!

Cream Scone with Lemon Curd & Devonshire Cream
We went here to celebrate my mither in laws birthday. She had never been before and had a wonderful time. We got hot tea or the table, a chicken salad, a Welsh rarebit & chicken salad on croissant. We also got scones. Everything was wonderful and we had a great experience.

Pasta Salad
Very cute spot with amazing food. The pasta salad is very simple but so good! Ham and cheese quiche is amazing. I’ve been there 3 times so far and the service and quality of the food has been amazing every time. The scones are to die for! Each time I’ve had one I think about it all day and wish I hadn’t eaten the whole thing so I could have more.

Pasta Salad
I went with my boyfriend (we made a reservation for the Victorian afternoon tea). It was a really cool experience. If you plan to go here often however, I would probably just order something from the menu or get the traditional tea, as it has less courses. We were not able to finish all of our food, especially since it is bread heavy, and you have a lot of time within each course, so you really do get full pretty easily. I would definitely recommend trying one of the afternoon teas for the experience, but it is not something I would do every time I went there. If you are a picky eater you will most likely not like a lot of the foods offered in the afternoon teas. It started off with chicken salad sandwiches and pimento sandwiches with cucumber bites. Usually I do not like chicken salad but this one did not have onions and was pretty simple with just the chicken and boiled egg. Then we had scones, which were really good, but I was not able to finish it. The fruit was just some strawberries, grapes, kiwi, watermelon, and two slices of cheese, and you do not get very much of any of it either. The strawberries we got had some mold spots on them but we just did not touch them. The mini quiche are absolutely tiny. About the shape of mini muffins. We got two different types. A bacon gouda one with onions and a spinach one. They were pretty good though. My favorite part was the cranberry orange mini bread. It was so cute and it tasted SO GOOD. It is a little on the sweet side though. The dessert tray came with a lemon pastry type dessert, a small square of red velvet, and a little mini chocolate coffee whipped cream pastry. They tasted about standard. Not like it was phenomenal or anything. The people there were very nice! Overall: not somewhere I would come very often, just once or twice with friends or family to have a cute experience and take some cool photos.

A wonderful little tearoom with fantastic food and a quaint atmosphere. We had the Traditional Tea service. Every bite was excellent! Best tearoom we have ever been to! The owner was very nice and went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience! Highly recommend!
Second time here was just as wonderful as the first time! Brittney was our server and she was excellent! Thanks Top Hat Special-Teas for another great day!

Love Laurie who is the owner of the restaurant. She is very friendly and professional. This restaurant is my go-to-lunch-in place in Florence in between work to relieve my stress and my hunger. They have great selection of teas. One of my favorites is Holiday dream tea. I love their beef bleu sandwich and their tuna puff sandwich. I am hooked on these 2! Of course you cannot leave without having their signature scones - my favorite is the pecan scone. Uff! Everything is made with love in this restaurant with great ambiance, antique museum decor and soothing music. The staff are sweet and friendly. I have visited this spot about 20 times already in the last 9 months. In Florence, this is another hidden gem of the city. Keep up the standards and quality! ❤️

Angel Pecan Scone
This is my favorite place to go for special times, but it can be for everyday as well, if you are looking for an upscale place to eat. The owner and workers are top notch, as is the food. The turkey sandwich is my favorite everyday choice, and the high tea is perfect for special occasions!!

I LOVE this place! I was looking to try somewhere new for my birthday, and my mom and I decided to try them out. It was absolutely perfect. The decor, the ambience, the quaint service, the tea! Perfect spot for a quiet lunch. We got the Victorian Tea Course, and I cannot wait to bring friends back. Hidden gem! Must try!
We absolutely love Top Hat Teas. Sadly Mrs. Laurie, the owner, was not here this day, but her staff is always friendly. The pasta salad that comes with each meal is my son's favorite. The shepherd's pie is piping hot. I love the triple peaks because I can't choose. Gotta have a scone too. It tops off the meal perfectly. The Russian tea is our number one choice. It's a must have. The tea cups and tea pot decor just complete the atmosphere. This place is definitely a must!
