  We love the St. James Tearoom and have been a couple times now. The teas are always steeped just righted and very flavorful. Each course pairs wonderfully with the savory and sweet menu items that are thoughtfully prepared for each course. … More The only suggestion I'd make is to take cash for a tip. The servers are always super kind and amazing at their jobs and absolutely deserve it. They don't allow for a tip on a credit card charge so a cash tip is always appreciated and well justified.

  At your scheduled time, which was 630 for us, they ring a bell and you head down the hallway and greeted and taken to your room. We were in the Pemberly room. They close it off with curtains so you have your own private area and it was … More so nice! Turned off our cell phones and had a nice relaxing hour and a half conversation with lots of laughter and reminiscing. They brought out the three tier platter, 1st teir is the savories, 2nd tier is the bread and 3rd is desserts. The Hong Kong salad that was a perfect size, the cucumber avocado tea sandwich was just the perfect bite, the meatloaf sandwich had an onion jam with bacon and a hint of spice that was just right, then we moved on to the meatball and potato skewer which had spices that made us want more. Lastly was the fluff pastry with the brie and apricot inside. It was a great ending to the 1st flight. Moving on to the scone and ube milk bread. The scone with clotted cream and blood orange curd was the perfect combination of sweetness and that ube bread was so fluffy. 3rd and last flight was the dessert flight. Those desserts were excellent. My absolute favorite was the mocha hazelnut dacquoise. The cookie was crispy on the outside with a chewy center which the perfect dollop of hazelnut spread on top, chefs kiss! The Italian rum panna cotta with salted caramel was my second favorite and I dont even like custard like textures, but that flavor was out of this world! The rhubarb gooseberry tart was my least favorite. It was a little too tart (haha) for liking. Our server Elijah was absolutely amazing and kind. We have a friend coming from out of town next week and and have another reservation to bring her. We had such a nice relaxing evening this evening. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

  Top marks for all categories! We always come here to celebrate big events. Usually our anniversaries. The staff is always amazing and knowledgeable. The tea is always hot and dreamy. And the food is some of the best. This place never falls … More short of expectations and is never snobby either. One thing I can't stand is pretentious restaurant experiences and this has never in all the years of going been that. Come one, come all (except your newborn baby), relax and enjoy a very serene and humbling moment of tea time with family and friends.

  I've been here a few times. It's a well thought out and creative experience, from the menu to the decor to the staff outfits. It's a lot of fun and it's evident a lot of care and attention goes into every guest. The … More menus are tasty and align well to the themes. Sometimes they get bold with the tea pairings, and while it can be a miss, it's great to try something you wouldn't have otherwise. The staff is very professional and whoever writes the scripts does a great job. If you're concerned about being a solo diner, they give you a little booth-room to yourself and generally leave you be unless you signal for the next pot of tea or they want to check in. It's pretty peaceful, but you can hear the booths around you so it doesn't feel super isolated.

  Loved this experience! I didn't think i would or that it was my cup of tea but turns out i was wrong. We had a delightful, tasty, relaxing and fun time. The food was delicious and despite the small snack sized sampling we were so full … More by the third course and third tea offering. The tea was ammazzzing and the staff sealed the deal. Def will go again!!

  Exceptional! First time at a tearoom for High Tea and the experience was amazing!!! We got 3 different teas for the 3 tiers of food. The 5yo with us got 3 different and delicious herbal teas as well. The pots of tea were large and the food … More was surprisingly filling. For 4 adults and 1 kid, it was definitely plenty of food--although it looks deceptive. Everything was fresh and had great flavor. The rooms were private and intimate, with a few nooks and the rest had long curtains separating each group from the rest. The seats were comfortable, ranging from lounge/chaise to individual chairs. Each "room" has a theme as well so you can go plenty of times with a slightly different ambience each time.
  Would def go again. The Alice in Wonderland theme was fantastic. The little market and teas for sale made the whole experience so much better. The ladies who worked there were fantastic and obviously loved their jobs. Shoutout to Jaqueline who was a wealth of information and great to interact with.

  A splendid experience, well worth putting on some nice duds and collecting a small group you want to talk with. The "rooms" are cozy and, while you have a sense of others around you, the place doesn't get loud. Nothing is … More rushed, service is friendly and attentive, and the teas and bites are delicious! Arrive a little early to look over their shop.

  What a wonderful place, St. James Tearoom is. My partner and I have been here twice, and both times, we've had our expectations exceeded.
  The food and tea are delicious, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. … More
  We really love the themed aspect of St. James - it makes it oh so fun to go back again and again.
  The front gift shop is also spectacularly curated with a little something for everyone.
  Thanks, St. James Tearoom, for always being so inviting - Will definitely be back!

  We had an absolutely great time and the food was wonderful. We took our son and daughter-in-law from Omaha, Nebraska and our two grandchildren. It was a Sherlock Holmes themed meal

  Our visit to the St. James Tearoom was an absolutely delightful experience! This charming tearoom, offers a truly unique and elegant setting for enjoying a traditional British afternoon tea. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with beautifully … More decorated nooks that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. They are always doing a theme and each one has been so well done!
  The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was perfect. The three-course tea service, featuring a wonderful selection of savories, breads, and sweets, all paired with fine teas. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.
  One of the standout features of the St. James Tearoom is its rich history and dedication to creating a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The tearoom has been delighting guests for nearly 25 years, and it’s easy to see why it has become such a beloved institution in Albuquerque.
  Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, I highly recommend the St. James Tearoom. It’s a perfect spot to relax, reflect, and enjoy the finer things in life.
