Our Guestbook
“ Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the staff at Waterloo Tea for hosting us. We were a big group of people and all our food and drinks came quickly and were super tasty. We had a lovely time. The staff were courteous, kind, and highly professional. Many thanks! ”
“ Lovely afternoon tea. We had 1 vegan and 1 normal, the vegan food was exactly the same as the normal with vegan substitutes, which was nice to see. It was very tasty and we took a doggy bag home! Thank you ”
“ I’ve been coming here for years and can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal. The poached eggs are always cooked to perfection and the coffee always hits the spot. The staff are really friendly and I’d highly recommend. ”
“ Banana bread was incredible! Relaxed atmosphere. Could be a good place to work/study. Parking nearby tricky but there are two hour spaces. Would definitely return. ”
“ Really delicious food, very extensive tea menu - not the best seating and a fair few loudly crying kids but it was midday on a weekday so I think just bad timing! ”
“ We came here for brunch on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. The food was spectacular, I would definitely come back soon. I would consider making it my regular studying cafe but I feel like it gets a bit loud at times. Prices feel reasonable as well! ”
“ Had a lovely afternoon tea out with my mum today and had a lovely time out. All the staff were excellent and always smiling and Ree (not sure if that's the right spelling) who served us was especially chatty and was very helpful when we were trying to figure out what tea to have, we couldn't have asked for better service! The food itself was delicious! I think our favourites were the sandwiches and despite feeling almost too full to move after halfway through we had to finish it all with a few much needed breaks to drink our wonderfully selected tea. ”
“ Beyond a doubt, my favourite place for some posh nosh in Whitchurch Road. I’m definitely a regular now, and the menu you scrumptious, the service is wonderful, and theay they treat their customers is five star, and I should know, I worked in five star hotels and the food here definitely hits a high standard every time I dine. They’re wonderful to my little doggy too, and the clientele are a mix of young families, professionals and pretty girls. You can’t really go wrong, they have a brilliant selection of coffees and teas, they know exactly what they’re serving to you, and the staff are always delightful. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. ”
