It was the best food during our travel. So nice brunch! If you know Gilmore Girls then the atmosphere is as cozy as there!

If you're looking for a brunch spot that will wow you from the moment you see the menu, Dianne Tea Shop is it! We visited on a Monday and were torn between their amazing breakfast and lunch options, so brunch it was. The lavender latte was a fragrant and flavorful treat, and the hot chocolate was pure indulgence. Each bite of our food was absolutely sumptuous, leaving us completely satisfied. The service was also top-notch and made the experience even better. Trust me on this one – give Dianne Tea Shop a try (reservations are a good idea!).

I enjoyed my experience here. It deserves 5 stars, but I gave it 4 stars for my long wait to be seated. We made a reservation so I didn't expect that. It didn't appear to be understaffed that day. Other than that, the atmosphere, location, and ambience were fantastic. The food and drinks were delicious and filling. The espresso martini was so strong and heady. It's very affordable for a party of 5. You can shop and eat at the same time. Love that experience. I did not buy anything, although. They also have a private area to host parties, etc. I want to book that in the future. I'm definitely going back. Fully recommend.

Incredibly relaxing ambience and nice presentation. Service is good and the food/drinks are individually served as they are made. The food is delicious and passes quality checks before being served. I recommend trying the rose latte. My place of choice for a classy daytime dining experience. Prices aren’t bad either and are fair for what you get.

The service was excellent, can't complain about service from all staff. Smiles, pleasant and attentive to customers. There Cobb salad was great and I tried a rose type coffee it was excellent. Have to go back and get the name lol. The food wasn't too bad, plantains were a bit hard though. But will definitely go back another time.

A cozy place to house a small group up to 10 persons comfortably Friendly staff and good food However if you are a rowdy crowd it may not be the place for you. The environment and ambiance are welcoming and parking is at the back of the building Great place to meet with friends and share a moment

I recently tried this place based on the reviews, and I can mostly agree with their opinions. However, the salad dressing was a bit off, with a sour taste. While the price is slightly above average, I believe it's justified considering the overall experience. The ambiance of the place is aesthetically pleasing, catching the eye. I'm definitely planning to return and explore more dishes from the menu, as my initial visit left me quite satisfied.
