Tea Shop 168

I had visited this wonderful place, Tea Island, which was booked up by one of my niece's, for my sister's birthday surprise. There was a party of twelve of us. The proprietor of this vintage heaven also made all the sandwiches, fresh on the day and I was pleased to say, she also catered for myself, with a food disease and allergies, brilliantly! The sandwiches and mini cakes, melted in the mouth and with almost endless pots of tea, if required - the setting and atmosphere, was just perfect. Tea Island was busy with other smaller parties going on, but, and we all sang Happy Birthday, to other strangers and shared in their celebration too. Definitely a place I would happily re-visit for another celebration, or even, just for afternoon tea.

Beautiful tea room in Hornchurch which has a wonderful atmosphere. The sandwiches, tea and cake are tasty and reasonable which is bonus. The staff are really welcoming. I definitely would recommend.

A lovely place, we arranged a friend’s baby shower for afternoon tea. The staff where very helpful and friendly. It has a nice vintage feel I would recommend and will probably visit again.

Lovely vintage tea room serving afternoon tea and cakes. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had the afternoon tea, which was tasty and good value for money too. The tea includes a variety of dainty sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, petit fours and a choice of different cakes. This came with refillable pots of tea and coffee not all types are covered by this. We also had prosecco which made it extra special. The staff also ensured that there were diary-free options for us too. I would definitely recommend it.

Took my daughter and her friends for her birthday and they had a great time. Really great service, lovely atmosphere and decor.

Wonderful time at a birthday party. Family members aged from 9 to 88. Good quality food, excellent service and fab background music. Highly recommended. VERY good value too unless you are a total scrooge. Sandwiches, top quality cakes, scones, cream, jam, endless tea all included in the price. Superb.

My friend and I went to Tea Island for afternoon tea and we were very impressed. The staff were welcoming and the shop has a beautifully unique and quirky aesthetic. Now onto the best bit…the food! It was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I wasn’t keen on one of the cakes, but that was more about personal preference. Nonetheless, the strawberry and cream cake, lemon drizzle, scones and other cakes more delighted my tastebuds and filled my tummy! We had a good choice of teas, the sandwiches were fresh, the cakes were moist and we’ll definitely be going back! Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon.

Really friendly and helpful staff, food was fresh and tasty and good value for money. The place was clean and had hand sanitizer at the table. I will definitely be going back over and over again.
