Best Afternoon Tea Restaurants in Carroll Gardens

Our time at BK High Low today was lovely! It was the perfect way to spend a birthday with good friends. We sat in the garden on the coldest day of the year but mostly were cozy beside our frozen toes, which is just the nature of being anywhere in the cold. The tea was delicious and they had such a diverse selection. The scones were fluffy and beautifully textured but we were not impressed with the sandwiches. The desserts were good but we agreed the tea and scones are the best part. I will say that we were a party of 7 outside so we were harder to reach but the service was not outstanding. All in all, I would surely recommend the Grand Vanderbilt at least once for the special experience that full afternoon tea is. It doesn't hurt that the HIgh Low's parlor spaces are so delightful! I will return again for cream tea without the extra food but I am so glad I chose BHL for our get-together:)

As a bit of a family tradition, I brought my 2nd daughter here, eleven years after my first! And we were lucky to have our favorite server, #theTroublemaker to help us and make quality suggestions from the menu. Even the persons who served our water and coffee were knowledgeable professionals. I ended up purchasing two bags of gifts from the gift store, because the chocolate and service were of such high quality! The Year of the Snake marketing is clever, and we actually decorate our shelves with Mariebelle tins and containers because the branding is so attractive. Only Chardon Bleu in France comes even close, with Mariebelle as the absolute best in the world. Thank you so much, merci, grazzie, and Gracias for a world class, chocolatier experience!

I had the best time celebrating my birthday here! The service was great and the food was delicious. I would definitely come back and recommend to others!
