Anteaques - Edinburgh, City of

Beautiful tea room in an antique shop I first came here on my last edinburgh visit a few years ago and loved it so much, I thought I would try it again. I am happy to say that it is still as great as ever. it is a tiny tee room in an antique store. they have a wide selection of specialized tees (I had the orange flower oolong) and a small selection of cakes. my man had seen a fertilizer with dipped and jam, I had the dundee cake. cakes were served on a cake stand with antique china. they also had a few cakes and green teacakes. it is obviously a dog friendly place a dog was served water in an antique glass bowl. sit under the beautiful antique furniture and...read more

I am no longer there.

What a great place! This is a mix of a vintage tea house and antiques store in Edinburgh and is just a lovely place to drink your tea.

Highly recommended.

I absolutely love this little Edinburgh gem!! Always busy so best to book! The staff are amazing! Always good for a recommendation when it comes to tea! And the scones! I would have to say hard to beat!! Best in Edinburgh so far : One problem is there lack of a bathroom but a quick run up the road and there are many cafés and pubs to sneak into!
