This place is a must-try for anyone in Bel Air. The service was wonderful, everyone was so kind and their suggestions were great and they truly made us feel at home. The atmosphere is wonderful, it's so cozy and comfortable with sweet decor. And the food was divine, there's a massive list of teas to try and you can try as many as you like for the one price. We personally got the High Tea which is the most expensive option but comes with soup/salad, and a three tiered tray with scones, sandwiches, and little desserts. Everything was perfect and had diverse flavors. I would definitely recommend making a reservation as we were lucky to be seated as tables are quite limited, but it's an incredibly worthwhile experience, perfect for an elegant date which is exactly what we had.

Desserts from the High Tea
We come every year for Christmas in July. Even though I am a picky eater, I always love sampling the delicious themed foods. In addition, they have the best warm scones anywhere! The service is always great and the owners are delightful. The only drawback is it can get very loud and hot, but that won't stop me from coming!

Small House Salad
Had tea yesterday with 3 friends and overall we had a very enjoyable time. Our server was very sweet and accommodating to my group’s dietary needs. We enjoyed the tea selection and tried so many flavors between all of us! Unfortunately, the food prices are just not reasonable for what you get. I have been to the other tearoom nearby in PA many times and the portions are a sizable difference at the same cost. Will likely not return for tea service, but I would return to purchase loose tea from the gift shop!

Gluten-free? GO HERE!
My mom and I have an afternoon tea tradition for my birthdays. After figuring out I have a gluten sensitivity, I didn't think there was anyway I would be able to fully enjoy the afternoon tea experience again.
Tea by Two has completely proven that wrong and set the standard for me on how a gluten-free experience can be just as enjoyable as the alternative. The scone was amazing, the desserts were delicious, and even my cupcake in a tea cup that I got to TAKE HOME was gluten free?! I couldn't believe all that and only a $4 upcharge for gluten-free.
Their tea choices are just on the right side of tons of selection without being overwhelming, and was absolutely delicious!

Our favorite tea room. We've been to quite a few and love the quaint feeling of TBT! Excellent food without being overly complicated. The Christmas tea is our family favorite, even though we weren't able to get reservations this year. They sell out very very quickly.

Our reservation was a few weeks ago for six people. As we explained multiple times that it was our first visit to any tea house, we had hoped for a warmer welcome than we felt was received. The menus are confusing and cluttered, the process of ordering was not at all well explained, and tea recommendations were not offered. We had multiple questions during our visit, but it was very difficult to get a clear answer from staff. We also alerted the staff to allergies within our group, which we were assured could be accommodated without issue. However, when the food was served, we immediately realized that the woman who wrote down our order never notified either of the two other staff members of the severe allergy and our entire high tea service had to be remade because it was served with items that we indicated were not safe for our group. It was also slightly disappointing to hear that all food is made in advance and no alterations can be made to the sandwiches, but as this appears to be a location without a full kitchen I'm not even sure how they prepare food on site. They do have a kid's menu, which was appreciated.
The younger members of our group did enjoy browsing the gift shop at the end of our visit, and the decor was cute.
Overall, we will likely try another tea house for our next event. But if your group is small and has no food allergies and has experience with high tea, you may enjoy your time here.

A cozy little tea place with a huge selection of teas. I stop in regularly to buy my favorites or try new ones with the sampler packs they sell. The dine-in experience is nice too, but be sure to make reservations early because tables and seating times are limited, and they fill up quickly.

Super quirky little spot in Bel Air. Great birthday and anniversary gift! I bought the high tea experience for 2 of my girlfriends as a Christmas gift, and they both loved it (at least that’s what they told me).
Scones, sandwiches and dessert cakes with 2 pots of tea. Loved every minute of it. As a Brit, this brought me back home a bit!
Enjoy! Highly recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance!
You do NOT need to dress up for high tea! Absolutely loved how I felt sitting at the table, sipping tea in a china tea cup with saucer and enjoying a healthy turkey salad salad with cranberries and walnuts. Felt like a precious little girl again. Charming, quaint and homey. I will be back to treat myself again. 🤗💜
My friend and I have visited tea by two twice now and we have been highly satisfied with our experience. It is such a fun experience from children up to adults. We did the high tea which comes with a soup or salad, unlimited tea, sandwiches, desserts, and a scone. It was delicious!! This whole experience brought me back to my childhood playing with tea cups! 5 stars. One negative is that I wish the staff was more attentive but they were so so friendly and did provide amazing service just wish they checked on the table more frequently.
