Anteaques in Edinburgh, City of

Fantástico ambiente. Maravillosa selección de tés y tartas caseras, todas servidas en servicios de té antiguos que luego puede comprar si lo desea. De hecho, todo está a la venta a un precio negociable. Me encanta este lugar sin pretensiones escondido a pocos pasos del centro de la ciudad. Asegúrate de reservar. Uno de los mejores lugares de Edimburgo.

Fui con mi hija pues habíamos leído de lo hermoso que era.- Realmente no le erraron a los comentarios.- Es...

Der kleine, antike Teeladen wird mit viel Liebe zum Detail betrieben. Der Inhaber war sehr nett und servierte uns hervorragenden Tee, leckere Scones und die weltbeste Rosenmarmelade. Das Ambiente ist gemütlich und stilvoll und besticht durch seine antike Einrichtung und die entspannte Hintergrundmusik. Wenn wir in Edinburgh wohnen würden, wären wir regelmäßig dort.

Amazing selection of teas, teastfull scones and sweets!! We try different teas every single time!!!! The antiques inside make you feel like you are in a different time! Lovely people runing it!!! You have to book a table!!!

Vine por primera vez en mi última visita a Edimburgo hace algunos años y me gustó tanto, pensé que lo buscaría de nuevo. Me complace decir que todavía está tan bueno como siempre. Es un pequeño salón de té ubicado en una tienda de antigüedades. Tienen una amplia selección de tés especializados (tuve el oolong de flores de naranja) y una pequeña variedad de tortas. Mi marido tenía un bollo de frutas con crema y mermelada, tuve la tarta de Dundee. Los pasteles se servían en un puesto de tarta con porcelana antigua. También tenían tartaletas y pastel de té verde.

Este lugar es realmente algo especial. Un local me lo recomendó en un viaje reciente a Edimburgo. Llamé un domingo por la mañana y tuve la suerte de conseguir una mesa, y toda la experiencia fue una alegría. Hay un ambiente tan tranquilo y relajante, y la selección de tés es fantástica. Tuve té de perlas de jazmín, que fue el acompañamiento perfecto para la deliciosa torta de matcha. El servicio fue muy amable y relajado. Con todo, es el lugar perfecto para relajarse en el medio de la bulliciosa ciudad. Lo recomiendo altamente.

Este es un té de preciosas antigüedades y una tienda que sirve una amplia gama de alta calidad de té y dulces. Una pequeña joya perfecta justo en el corazón de la ciudad.

Una vez que entras en Anteaques, te sientes en otro lugar, en otra época. Este lugar es muy relajante y confortable, lejos de la ruidosa calle de enfrente. El propietario Cédric y el personal es acogedor y hablador es un buen lugar para practicar su Francés si lo desea. Su selección de té es demasiado para mí, el resto de la selección un poco corto y centrado en dulces tartas y bollos, pero en general fue una experiencia muy agradable. Volveré la próxima vez que estoy en Edimburgo.

He estado yendo a este lugar por más de un año ahora y no puedo comprender cómo siempre me hace descansar muy bien. Los calmantes (jazz? La maravillosa) música, muebles viejos, que te hace sentir como si estuvieras en una tienda de antigüedades, el personal tan amable y servicial, la bella china. . . Y, por supuesto, el té. Normalmente nos dan nuestra favorita y uno nuevo de su selección. Y la tarta de matcha. Tan delicioso. Es uno de esos lugares donde el tiempo se detiene, a diferencia de en una cafetería concurrida, puede perderse en el tiempo, charlando a lo largo de su compañía, y disfrutando de cada elemento de la atmósfera. Todos sus cinco sentidos se sentirá rejuvenecido. Sólo me hubiera gustado que estaban abiertos todos los días de la semana! También, debe reservar, en caso contrario, tu mente decepcionado.

Prendere il tè circondati da oggetti d'antiquariato è stata un'esperienza fantastica. L'ambiente è carico di fascino e di storie, raccolto e rilassante. La varietà di tè proposti è molto ampia, più ristretta la scelta dei dolci che sono da apprezzare per la loro raffinata semplicità. Consiglio di non prendere un tè a testa perché ne portano un'intera teiera e, per quanto buono, è impossibile da finire. Inoltre, mancando la toilette, potrebbe comportare qualche inconveniente.

Ne avevamo sentito parlare bene, ma non ci aspettavamo un posto così particolare! Due locali, il primo con un bancone, due piccoli tavolini e una vastissima scelta di tè, il secondo con un solo grande tavolo rotondo al centro con 4 sedie, circondato da tanti begli oggetti di antiquariato... in vendita! sì, perché il locale è al contempo una sala da tè e un antiquario! Porcellane bellissime, tè eccellenti, dolci gustosi e servizio impeccabile. Mentre sorseggiavamo il nostro tè sentendoci un po' regali, diverse persone sono entrate per vedere gli oggetti in vendita. Vale la pena andarci, per tutto, compreso il prezzo assolutamente contenuto!

He visitado alrededor de 8 veces probablemente Anteaques ahora, y cada vez parece que mejor! El señor quien trabaja allí es absolutamente encantador y servicial.

This is a singularly different little tea room. It is actually an antique shop and tea emporium which has a very limited capacity for guests, so booking is advisable. Off the main drag of Princes Street and Royal Mile, but well worth the effort if you like tea. The choice of tea runs into pages, accompanied by a history of tea and advisory tit-bits. The choice of tea foods is limited to scones and a cake, with a special tart at the weekend.It is made up for by the quality of the cake, the delightful presentation using vintage cloth and crockery and the well informed service. The Dundee cake was a generous individual cake and the scones were freshly baked. The piece de resistance for me was the accompaniment of French made rose jam which tasted amazing. The proprietor, Cedric then offered a taste of violet petal jam, also French made from the perfume making areas of the south. Needless to say it tempted us into purchasing jam, loose tea and trying some chocolates.One draw back is the lack of bathroom facilities and limited space, but offset by the experience. Not one for parents with young children if you want to enjoy the experience.

I wouldn't have found this place myself, it's off my usual beat in Edinburgh, but a visiting friend booked us in. It's outside the city centre in a very mixed shopping area (quirky and quite studenty) on a busy bus route, and the frontage is blink-and-you-miss-it tiny. There are two little rooms, the front one with the counter, lots of tea containers and two tables at which five people would be the absolute maximum. The back room has seating for up to another five, crammed in between the antiques they have for sale - furniture, china and curios. The menu is an awesome list of rare and lovely teas, extending to several pages with full descriptions, and there is a hilarious insert sheet with a few lines mentioning cakes and scones. No prizes for guessing the main focus of this place! But when my friend booked she requested a gluten free cake and one was put aside for her, a chocolate orange tart which she pronounced absolutely delicious. I had a scone served with proper clotted cream and a choice of jams - the raspberry jam I chose had two whole raspberries in it so was clearly top notch. After consulting with the waitress we couldn't decide which to have, so we had three different teas between us. They arrived in very large glass teapots with separate infusers and cut glass bowls to put them in when brewed. Tea cups and saucers were antique china, of course. All the teas were for sale and I took home small packets of the two I had drunk there. They also sold lovely looking chocolates, and of course antiques. The music was mellow jazz and there was no customer bathroom facility, please note! After all that tea, you need to have a plan B so that where you go next have a loo!

Found this tea shop by accident. There's a large variety of teas to choose from to drink in or to buy and take home. Everything is so magical and special about this shop! Would definitely recommend visiting even if you just want to buy tea to take home! The staff were so friendly as were the other customers - very relaxed atmosphere, I will definitely visit again.

One of Edinburgh's hidden gems. Divine tea served in an antique shop. Perfect host with an unrivalled knowledge and enthusiasm for tea. Loose teas and antiques also available to purchase. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

I think this is the cutest place in Edinburgh to have amazing tea in an old fashioned way! Super cute place and very nice and polite people working there!

I visit regularly and am never disappointed excellent choice of teas and beautiful Green tea cake and when you are finished your pot of tea there are wonderful antiques to buy .Service is top and friendly . my favourite establishment to visit

This is a tiny little tea room full of interesting antiques. They have a lot of knowledge about teas and can help you choose one from their extensive menus. The cakes are also very good! I tried the green-tea matcha- quite interesting! Make sure to book a table to make sure there is a place!

Forget high-pressure coffee shops. Slow down, ignore time, enjoy the tea and cakes and atmosphere.You don't know what tea you like? Just ask.

This place is tiny yet it manages to cram quite a lot into its limited proportions. Because of its size the antiques side of the business is small but interesting. Tea is it's speciality and therefore there is a fairly extensive and varied tea menu. The scones we had were home baked and very good but the rose petal jelly was the pièce de résistance .. wonderful. Anteagues only opens a few days a week so check before you go .. and book, there are only four tables. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our short visit.

A wonderful place in every way. Excellent staff, fantastic selection of teas and lovely interior. Not only the place to go in Edinburgh for a perfect cup of tea, but also the best place to buy tea.

Que mejor lugar para disfrutar de la hora del té que este lugar ubicado en el centro de Edimburgo. Importante saber que hay que reservar con anticipación porque el lugar es pequeño y como es famoso siempre esta lleno de gente. Les recomiendo probar cualquiera de las deliciosas variedades de té traídas de todas partes del mundo y los scones con crema de mantequilla y mermelada de rosas.

What a wonderful, magical place. A brilliant range of quality teas, all served in antique china with freshly baked scones and homemade jam. A very special place. Definitely worth a visit, you won't regret it.

Beautiful little place on Clerk Street, and quite below the radar, despite its very public location! I've passed the shop countless times, and never stepped in until today. And I'm glad I did. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the beauty of the shop, and the cosy atmosphere. As the name suggests, there are antiques and teas everywhere, and it's really a pleasant experience to step inside. There aren't a huge amount of tables, so perhaps best to book in advance, but we were lucky to get a table for two right beside the counter. This meant I had the gorgeous tarts and scones in front of my eyes the entire time. What else could I do but, you guessed it, order a scone with clotted cream and jam to go with my tea?The tea selection is immense. Mary simply adores tea, so she was really in her element at Anteaques. We ended up choosing a seasonal Pear and Caramel tea, along with a scone each. A pot of tea is £3.20, which may be a little expensive, but it is big enough for two- we each got three cups from the pot, so I was happy with the value. The tea was delicious, and the scones went down a treat!Afterwards, whilst Mary analysed the tea selection, I took a quick look around the store, and it's really beautiful. The antiques selection is great, and the calming music playing in the background was also a nice change to the hustle and bustle of the streets outside. Part of me wishes the place was slightly bigger, though another part is happy at the cost nature of it all, and the selection of edible treats isn't huge (but what they do have looks and tastes great!).Mary ended up buying some vanilla chai loose leaf tea to take home, and I have no doubt we'll be back!

Calm, relaxed and stylish place, perfect for a quiet cup and chat. Their selection is limited but good quality and the service was excellent.

I've walked past Anteaques tonnes of times before. From the outside it looks like an unassuming antiques shop however from the inside it's a wonderful antiques shop come tea room. Filled with knick-knacks there's plenty to catch your eye or spark a conversation. The tea list is extensive- so there's no reason not to try something new! I went for a pot of the cinammon anise rooibos from South Africa - which was deliciously sweet. My fellow diner went for a pot of the raw Chinese pu-erh tea. The level of service was excellent with really friendly, attentive and professional staff. The prices were also very reasonable. A hidden gem and a must visit for those living or visiting Southside.

Pure indulgence, beautiful experience, travelled back in time, highlight of our weekend break. Thought we were entering an antique shop and we were transported back to a 1940's tearoom, it oozed character

I discovered AnTEAques 5 years ago and sadly only can visit when working in Edinburgh. Situated a mere 10 mins walk away from the centre, it's easy to miss even if you're looking but so well worth all and any effort you put in. With only 5 tables, book. Be enthralled by the lists of wondrous teas all knowledgeably known by Cedric and Andrew. Delight at Andrew's hand-made, own-recipe cakes and tarts. The green tea cake is sublime. And if that wasn't enough...there's no rush. Sit, enjoy, relax and then browse. Browse the establishment because everything is for sale. From the tea set you drink from to the operatic chandelier nestling in the corner and Cedric only picks quality. Nothing is outrageously priced and everything is so desirable. I don't mind that everybody gets to know about this place...they can't and don't want to cram you in. Take your turn, your time and enjoy a genuine pleasure.

Out of all the many, many spots we tried in Edinburgh, this is by far, our favourite. A tea house/ antique shop, sadly only open three days a week (over the weekend), but well worth the wait. The tea selection is huge, and is just lovely. We ended up buying some tea to brew at home since it was so good. We came there for afternoon tea and had some cake and lovely scones with it, and had a really good time. The staff is also very lovely.Highly recommended. A little side note - there is no restroom inside, which is good to know before drinking all the tea... :)

Charming place with an excellent service. I like the fact that, in the menu, every tea has its own description where it comes from and what are the characteristics of particular blend.I also had a slice of delicious green tea cake (I hope this is correct name).I can highly recommend it. Great for individuals and couples, but if you're planning to come as a group, it is worth making a reservation beforehand.

こちらのお店は月〜木は営業しておらず、金土日（11am-7pm）のみの営業という週末限定のカフェです。抹茶ケーキとクリームティーをオーダーしました。まさかイギリスで抹茶ケーキが食べれるとは思ってもみませんでしたが、とても美味しかったです。スコーンはフルーツスコーンをオーダーしました。特別美味しいスコーンというわけではありませんが、雰囲気と紅茶も手伝ってかとてもリラックスできる時間でした。紅茶は種類豊富で選ぶのが大変ですが、スタッフさんにおすすめを聞いて一緒に選ぶのも良いかもしれません。少々歩きますが、ロイヤルマイルからも割と近いですので、営業時間を確認の上、行かれてみるのはいかがでしょうか。

I like my tea. This place is an excellent find. The lemon tart I had was one of the best ever. The service is excellent and these people are very knowledgable about tea! The experience is delightful here! Do it!

Such a cute little shop along the street and they accommodated our large group of 10 inside this small little back room where they also sell antique furniture. Their selection is impressive and while it takes awhile to prepare and brew the tea, it is so worth it. We also were served a variety of pastries. The green tea cake was drop dead delicious. We ended up coming here multiple times over our 2 week trip, and on the last day we all went and bought tea leaves of our favorite combinations. If ever in Edinburgh, please come here.

We hadden niet het allerbeste weer getroffen om deze plek te zoeken.Na enig rondrijden in de regen hadden we eindelijk het huisnummer gevonden. De (antiek)winkel zag er inderdaad uit als verwacht en achterin de winkel stonden een tweetal tafels ( die ook verkocht konden worden). De thee was niet echt heel bijzonder, maar er was wel een groot assortiment. Van een high tea was geen sprake. Behqlve een scone, plakje cake en een raspberry gebakje kon je niets bestellen. Helaas geen sandwiches. De eigenaar was wel heel vriendelijk.

This was my 2nd trip to Anteques and again it managed to charm me all over again with it's petite quirkiness. It's a quaint teashop with a 70 tea-strong menu and delectable scones / cakes. Very reasonably pried (I paid £5.50 for a whole pot of tea with refills and a slice of lovely green tea cake). Be sure to book ahead as there are only 5 tables. The staff are lovely and the place is filled with antiques which are also available to buy. As my friend pointed out you feel like you're in a another world for an hour or so!l We stayed for about 1.5 hours and there was no rush for us to leave from ourselves nor the staff!

I've lived in and around Edinburgh for 17 years and only discovered this fantastic place today. The tea list is phenomenal, the cakes were exquisite - I had the lemon and white chocolate tart and the pastry was close to perfect, the filling neither to sweet nor too sharp. The staff were very friendly, and we felt right at home - as though we were in our own front room, but with some interest antiques to look at.Beware though - it is only open Friday to Sunday, 11-7. We were lucky and got a table without booking, but it would be safer to reserve.

Good place to buy tea, but this is not an antiques shop really not much to browse at all.Only a few tables all of which were booked with no option to wait and very few cakes on offer. Certainly not worth the walk we made from princes street.

お店はエディンバラの旧市街からすぐの場所にあり、ティータイムにはオススメです。お店は数多くの紅茶を扱っているのでお土産にもオススメできます。紅茶の種類は多く、注文時は悩んでしまうかもしれません。レーズン入りのスコーンとクロテッドクリームの相性は抜群です。値段は非常にリーズナブルですよ。

Ambiente bueno, servicio correcto, comida exquisita..........precio y calidad muy buenos. La música que ponen es super chula! pasamos una buena tarde tod@s

Fantástico. Si eres un amante del te, pásate por este lugar que te enamorará. La verdad... fue fantástico ver como me servían y los bollos, el te,... todo estaba delicioso.

This is by far the most unique and interesting tearoom experience I have had. It took me about 20 minutes on foot to get to Anteaques from Waverley station but it was definitely worth the visit. The interior of the tearoom resembles that of a Victorian tea house and has a cosy and romantic atmosphere. Anteaques offers an extensive range of teas varying in flavour and quality. I had the Margaret's Hope, as well as the Vanilla Tea (which came in fancy glass teapots), accompanied with scones and the green tea/matcha cake which were served in a three-tier cake stand. I also tried the violet jam which had a light flowery scent to it and was less sweet as compared to the strawberry jam. I would definitely encourage all tea-lovers to give this place a try for the unique experience and the affordable prices. Booking is advised as seating is extremely limited. Also good to bear in mind that this place does not have washroom facilities.

My family and I went to Anteaques yesterday and had a great time. The atmosphere was very relaxing with light music in the background. We took three teas: Cinnamon Rooibos, Sweet Ginger, and Chilli Chai. We also took three cakes with them: Fruitcake, fruit scone, and another one which I forgot the name of. We went with no reservation, but found a seat for four persons. However I recommend you to call and reserve a table. Both my parents, my brother and I loved it and we've already made another reservation to go another time with my other brother. We took all of this for around £14 pounds.

This is by far our favourite place for tea in Edinburgh. It's small but very comfortable, with an eclectic antique decor - it reminds me of having tea with my friend's gran in her Victorian parlour. Every space in the back is filled with lovely antiques which are all for sale. The tea list is extensive as is the owner's knowledge. We've tried to taste new teas on every visit, even though we've developed clear favourites from the selection.The cakes are delicious, and the home-baked scones are served with generous servings of clotted cream and preserves.The owner is always friendly, and greets us as prized "regulars" even though we don't get to visit his shop as often as we like.The only drawback is that this shop is only open from Friday to Sunday, so it can be difficult to get a table but it's well worth it. For a quiet, pleasant afternoon tea, there's no better place in Edinburgh.You can view some of their selection of teas at their website (https://anteaques.co.uk).

This place is one of Edinburgh's treasures. A huge choice of teas are on the menu, something for everyone and the home-made scones are delicious. Don't go there expecting a traditional, boring tea with sandwiches, biscuits and yet key with milk and sugar. It is not that sort of establishment. Do go there if you want to experience something unique with a whiff of camp though. You won't regret it.

Step back in in time. You can be pampered with tea and cakes, surrounded by antiques. Booking advised.

Always have a wonderful selection of top quality teas served with care and attention to detail. Possible to buy loose tea to take home / restock your caddies. Book ahead to be sure of a seat or take a chance and rummage through their selection of antiques while you wait for a table.

The atmosphere was lovely, with the staff being being friendly but not overeager. They let you relax and were quick with the service. There are only three tables so you always know that if you do need anything they will be right there. Sitting among the antiques was nice and it meant there was a lot to admire while you sip your tea. The tea selection is impressive, the best in the city, so you will find the type of tea you are looking for. There aren't many snacks other than scones and sweets so don't go in looking for lunch. This really is a tearoom first and that's what makes the shop so excellent.I was in Anteaques with my Granny and we really enjoyed ourselves. I'd say that if you're going to visit by car there is zero parking. Also the shop is so small a calm that small children (from 1 - 7) wouldn't really appreciate it.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic and well suited with the selections they offer. The jam selections were amazing . Will definitly recommend to others. Thank you!

I think the title says it all. I love the atmosphere of the place, great selection of teas and very tasty cakes to go with them- though I almost always go for a scone, especially if they have rose jam that day. The staff is very friendly and the music played gives the place that extra special feeling you get from your favourite places only.I've been there many times over the past three years, I've never been disappointed.

If you love tea you will love Anteaques! A quirky little teashop where you sit among the antiques and enjoy pots of their delicious tea - there are about 100 to choose from! We visited just before Christmas and enjoyed trying their Christmas teas. We accompanied these with lovely homemade scones and violet jam. You can buy the tea and jam to take home as well. I would recommend paying Anteaques a visit, though booking is necessary as it is only open a few days a week and very popular!

A really quaint tea shop (and antiques of course) 10 mins walk off the Royal Mile. Don't usually go for flavoured tea but these were just delicious. I tried the chocolate cherry tea, would recommend it, and the violet jam on the scones was lovely. It is a shame they don't have the catering facilities to do a proper afternoon tea as this would just be the perfect setting. One thing to note is they don't have a loo.

It felt very precious to sit in this out-of-time place, enjoyed every minute and every detail.I loved the quiet atmosphere, the romantic surroundings, the gorgeous scone & tea, and lovely service.Thank you for that special moment in a busy week-end :)

On a l'impression de se retrouver dans un Jane Austen au moment du thé. Tout, de l'ambiance avec la musique d'Opéra à la déco/vaisselle donne l'impression d'avoir fait un bond dans le temps dès qu'on y rentre. Il y a mille et une (j'exagère à peine) sortes de thés, les patisseries y sont délicieuses et le cadre est charmant. De plus on peut y acheter du thé et des antiquités, alors que demander de plus?

Wanted to experience this wee gem. Made 11:00 Sunday reservation, had a little wait to get store organized. Not sure scones were hot from oven, but still very enjoyable. Lovely glass pots of piping hot tea from a myriad of tea choices. Cute mismatched cups. Tasty strawberry jam. But the highlight of our dining experience was the (afterthought) one order of Stollen. Absolutely, the best morsel of Stollen I've ever put in my mouth, made with marzipan. Even my daughter, who ordered it just for me, and is not fond of Stollen, said she could learn to adore it if all were like theirs. A great start to our Sunday of our 4 days magical Edinburgh trip.

I finally managed to make time off to visit and indulge in their tea selections and other sweet treats they had to offer. I have been waiting for the perfect moment to visit this place, but even better for me was that I managed to go there with a friend.It took a bit of time to read through the selections of diverse teas, we finally made a choice to have a ginger tea and caramelized pear tea. With an accompaniment of scones and violet jam. With the first taste of the violet jam, I literally felt so sweet inside and was filled with happy thoughts, it was a blend of amazing scent and flavors. The combination of the tea and the scones with the jam was just perfect; and with the setting of the cafe was just optimal.I would definitely recommend others to at least visit and try this cafe out whenever they are in the local area of Edinburgh.

小茶店(只有兩桌喔)兼賣骨董，所以有一種典雅的氛圍！這裡的每一種茶都有很清晰的簡介。我跟朋友點的都是跟蘇格蘭要有點關係，所以點了愛丁堡經典的Blue Lady、Lady Mary Gray(是水果的俄羅斯式伯爵)、Scottish breakfast蘇格蘭早餐。不要忘記來點甜點或scone，奶油超級無敵厲害，有鮮奶的香味和滑順的口感，我們試了紫羅蘭、玫瑰、杏桃、覆盆莓醬，個人最愛玫瑰，超棒的芬芳，很浪漫！一人一壺茶或是兩人一壺都可以，也可以先試聞或趁重買回去，包裝很精美又不貴歐，送禮自用兩相宜！每一壺茶的價格相同，加上scone一人大約5~6磅，值得來試試！

Fancy having a good tea and cakes in an antique shop, perhaps buying the tea-cups you've just used? ;) Excellent tea and lovely atmosphere! Would go back anytime!

Loved this little shop and tea stop! We had both tea and purchases. We bought a silver plate milk and sugar bowl holder and ceramic set to fit! A wee gem in a bustling city!

Of all edinburgh, the visit to this little unique lovely store was the most interesting and fascinating one. Extremly interessted and competent personal, very friendly and eager to explane things about tea i've never heard before!!! A huge choice of diffrent unique teas and the most charming little tearoom in edinburgh! Thanks for composing the 6 diffrent teas! I'll be sipping them for the weeks to come!

We decided to take a quick stop for some tea and then we found this place! The feel of a genuine old English tea room in a very small and cozy space.All the interior was antiques that you could buy and the variety of tea was great. Very friendly staff and very reasonable price.Easily worth a quick stop for a cup!

Endroit maaagnifique ! Des serveurs adorables, vrais scottisch ! La réelle manière de découvrir l'Ecosse dans ses traditions, l'endroit n'est pas encore trop connu donc reste très local et charmant. Probablement les meilleurs scones de la ville, le seul endroit qui les fait avec de la Clotted Cream et pas du beurre comme les real scones doivent l'être. Une immense variété de thés et de confitures. La culture anglaise comme on l'oublie trop souvent !! Condition pour y aller : sur réservation !!

I love love love Anteaques. I've been coming here for about 4 years and it never disappoints. The tea is great and there's an excellent range of different ones to try, and the scones and chocolates are amazing. Try the rose or violet jam for something really unique! They also sell loose-leaf tea at pretty good prices. I love the tea-themed antiques too, with all kinds of sets of cups and milk jugs and pretty cutlery.

Anteaques is, quite simply fabulous. It is a combined tea room and antiques shop, with a few tables so booking is a must. The tea selection is wonderful, from black to green, white, fruit infusions and flavours. Recommended: blue lady, vanilla chai, chocolate and violet petal. The cakes and scones are incredible; my usual is a fruit scone with raspberry jam and clotted cream. The guys there are so friendly and lovely and best of all, it won't break the bank.A delight.

I've been to Anteaques many times and every time has been a joy.Although very limited opening hours and such a tiny space for tables, the shop is the ultimate in beauty. A trove of curios, beautiful antiques and luxurious crockery. Soothing music- jazz, Edith Piaf or classical. The tea is FANTASTIC. The staff have great knowledge, the varieties are extensive and well priced, served to perfection with attention to every detail. Cakes, of an older-fashioned nature, are delicious and suited to the surroundings and the tea. No brightly coloured, sugary cupcakes but perfectly crafted Dundee cakes, green tea savirins and scones. The chocolate truffles are a glorious finishing note to a perfect experience.Please never stop!

I went here with my wife. The day before we had visited a whisky distillery, so I thought let's do something for you! Full disclosure, I do love antiques, so I was open to the idea. However, the food and tea is quite smashing. The antiques here are really nice, and I bought a reasonably priced print of the Shetland Islands. Also, I witnessed someone come in and tell the nice employee working that she was looking for something special for a whisky decanter. The employee skillfully showed her all their inventory, and was able to find the perfect gift! I will say that it is probably best to book ahead of time, as space is limited. My wife and I were able to walk in and get a seat, but we came at an odd time.

We visited this tea shop, recommended by a friend, whilst visiting Edinburgh. We couldn't believe the range of teas available and hugely enjoyed our scones. Would really recommend it to others but best book in advance!

One of our favourite places to pop in for tea. SO much choice with home made scones and jams! Delightful owners and we always have a great time here.

Anteaques is a a cosy, traditional tea shop on Clerk Street in the southside of Edinburgh, and it's a real find. I didn't know of it's existence until fairly recently, and having moved to this area of town I thought it was worth checking out. It's lovely! You're spoiled for choice with the teas, they have a selection of green tea, black tea and infusions and are really happy to help if you're feeling indecisive. I had the almond black tea which was lovely; slightly sweet without being overpowering. It isn't a big place but the tables are far enough apart that you can have a private conversation and the baking is top grade. What really ensured I would go back were the people that worked in there, who seem to enjoy there job and also to really like people. A few friends of the person who I assume is the owner came in and out during our visit and it gave the place a really nice atmosphere, as you could tell it was well loved. Can't think of anywhere better to go for tea in Edinburgh. To top it all off we had two large pots of tea, a scone and a tarte for about £10 which is pretty cheap in this city.

Visited here with my son and daughter in law. My daughter in law loves her teas and often calls. We sat down to cake and tea amongst an assortment of antiques! Delicious and served by two very pleasant gentlemen. So we had tea and cake, bought tea to take away from the vast assortment. (Love the Redcurrant Green Tea) and bought items on display.A truly unique and pleasant experience.

Unaware what to expect I took my dad for his birthday afternoon tea. Hearing amazing reviews from 5 friends, I decided to go.this place is amazing! I never realised it was so quirky and delicate inside! A selection of fantastic yet unique eats to accompany the 65 teas was perfect- we ordered the green tea brioche and the Dundee cake. Both were delish and accompanied out pear and caramel tea and souchong (can't remember the name!) tea wonderfully. All around you are vintage pieces of clothing or ornaments or tea sets. The two waiters are really gentle and friendly and I will be back soon! With 4 small tables I advise to book! A complete wee gem amongst the other cafes in Edinburgh. Totally unique concept. Love it

This little place was recommended to us by the woman who we were staying with in Edinburgh. It's a bit out of the way (although that's probably b/c we were at the opposite end of town), but totally worth a visit. There was only one person working while we were there, so the service was a tad slow, but everything was SO delicious. The variety of teas was fantastic, and the spreads, the cakes, tarts - everything was amazing.

Amante del té come sono, non potevo non andare, sotto consiglio di un'amica che vive ad Edimburgo, in questo negozio di antiquariato gestito da due ragazzi molto cortesi e composti, negozio che durante il weekend si trasforma in una sala da té dove é possibile degustare svariati tipi di té, tisane, infusi e miscele nonché i tipici dolci scozzesi e cioccolatini di vario tipo. Gestione impeccabile, location e arredamento suggestivi, se capitate in città non ve lo fate sfuggire!

The teas, the scones, the service with character (and pocket watches), the ambience. It just can't be beaten.

As this a place I frequently visit for tea I will get the negatives out of the way first: there is no toilet (which is a negative once you see the size of teapots you get!). It is also quite small so be prepared to book ahead to absolutely avoid disappointment. That said we have also visited ad hoc and been seated.The tea range is impressive - dozens of teas on offer - and served in huge measures. Alongside those are cakes, made by the proprietor, ranging from fruit tarts to cream teas, to the amazing green tea savarins which I highly recommend. Your surroundings are cosy and bedecked with antiques (the other half of the name pun) so be prepared to browse - and for other browsers. The service is unparalleled, as you'd expect from a small shop but it really is faultless.During most of the year it is only open Friday-Sunday, otherwise we would visit more - for tea it is without a doubt one of the best locations in Edinburgh so would commend it to you very highly.

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 and feel like a character of an old vintage movie.The have a variety of teas,or better,every flavor you could possibly imagine, and is really hard to choose just one- I really like the 'cherry and chocolate' flavor, and I teamed it with a tasty truffle.The tea room inside is charming, with antiques around, and the staff was just amazing. He was really kind and well dressed, with soft voice and really helpful, so in the mood of this place :)I also love how this place is hidden, and difficult to recognize it just from the outside-which make it even more charming as place. We spent a couple of hours there, talking and relaxing and staff was completely fine about this. Many people would just walk past Anteaques, but implore you not too because its far too great.note : There are no toilets!

My boyfriend and I happened upon this place when we recently went to the Fringe Festival is Edinburgh and I was not disappointed. They have a wonderful selection of unique teas in addition to some food (scones, chocolates, fruit cake) which were also delicious. I had a scone with violet jelly, chocolate truffle and a pot of gardenia oolong tea. The pot of tea was huge and it was very reasonable. They are open until 7pm which is great because of lot of these types of tea rooms close early. They had an array of things for sale from their tea and chocolates to crystal glasses and furniture at very reasonable prices.

Un negozio di antiquariato molto carino in cui è possibile stare nei salotti (anche quelli in vendita) per gustare una tazza di tè. Vi è la possibilità di scegliere tra una grande varietà di miscele e fortunatamente anche i non esperti come me possono essere "guidati" dal simpatico proprietario. Inoltre vi è la possibilità di accompagnare con torte, biscotti e deliziosi paninetti (penso si chiamino scones) serviti con marmellata. Il prezzo assolutamente contenuto (in due abbiamo pago meno di 7 GBP) e la tranquillità che trasmette questo locale lo rendono assolutamente consigliato.
