Biscuit & Brew Tea House in Nottingham

Having ordered my meal with my family, I asked to use the restroom. I was advised that it was out of order and I could go to the library third floor. The walk turned out to be 0.8 miles there and back, taking me 25 minutes by the time I returned. By the time I got back my family had finished their meals and my tea stewed. When I spoke to them they told me that I did not have to go to the library and I could o f gone to a neighboring business if I did not want to walk that far. They refused to refund my meal. As an elderly tourist who did not know the town, this was not a good introduction to Nottingham. I’m not a fan of negative reviews but this was a poor way to treat a customer

The place seems to have taken off especially since moving to its new venue in the New Year. Not surprised it’s getting good reviews as the food is normally very good and the servers a good coffee as well as a huge selection of teas (their specialty). This time we had a really nice guy serve us who was very attentive and helpful. To be fair the staff always are. Will be back.

We came across this lovely little place on a morning stroll looking for somewhere to have breakfast. The tea comes in very cute pots with lovely china cup and saucers - all very quirky. The staff were wonderful and service very good. We sat at a lovely table right next to the window and as the sun was shining, it made it all the more pleasant. There is a downstairs area where we were told had more informal seating for maybe tea and cakes. It’s a shame we live too far away to sample these as we would definitely return if we lived nearer. Really lovely - would recommend a visit.

Tried this cafe on a recent trip to Nottingham. Absolutely gorgeous food, we had the waffles and banana bread which were delicious. They also offer an extensive selection of teas, some of which are their own blend. Reasonably priced, good selection of food. It was so good we were going to go back the next day but unfortunately ran out of time. Will most definitely return if I go to Nottingham again.

Really nice coffee, really nice toasted ea cake. I find so many toasted tea cakes are "puddeny/doughy in the middle but this one was definitely well cooked and well toasted. Friendly attentive staff

Server very helpful, had a coffee and hot choclate both fine. Afternoon tea was served to another table that looked fab. Lovely little tea room with lots on offer

We came to Biscuit and Brew as a party of 8 with two young children for Mother’s Day afternoon tea and we all had a fabulous time! The staff were absolutely lovely, our waitress especially, Ana, was super attentive and knowledgeable explaining the menu and the variety of teas in great detail. Both the food and the drinks were exceptional and they even provided smaller afternoon teas specifically catered for the kids! I would definitely recommend this venue, it made for a really special day! Thank you!

When I want to support local businesses as well as getting something to eat after a very long night shift, I saw this place, I do love something local & something different than your everyday commercial rubbish like Costa Coffee, Caffè Nero & Starbucks. I went in before 11am because I was starving and hungry. When I went in, I was greeted by Dee & she was very lovely by welcoming me to the tea house. Also, it has a nice cosy lounge downstairs, that you will have tea & cake. However, if you do want like a nice hot food like a breakfast bite wrap then upstairs is the place to be with the great scenery of green indoor garden feeling. The service is the best in here that the staff members are very caring, very smiley and it made me feel like I am home here. It was my very first time here, even though I have passed it so many times. Dee has explained the choices for me which I couldn't decided between the "Monty Cristo", "Country Ploughman Sandwich" or the "Spice Girl" with the wannabe twist with the eggy bread part of the song. Dee is very patient with me and explained a lot to me. Also, the tea wise that they have samples for me to smell what tea leaves I would like to have with my Spice Girl; it was between Salted Caramel, Raspberry Rose & the Jaffa cake. The salted caramel was my favourite. Then, when the food and tea has arrived, they were beautifully presented. The poach egg is beautiful for £1.50 extra. Normally, I have sugar with my tea, however, for this one I did resist the temptation of adding sugar. It was the sweetness after taste that was nice, but it was hard to describe it when drinking it. Also, the Spice Girl was amazing, again, I didn't ask for ketchup because it has maple syrup, why not try something new & different. Also, the atmosphere and music is just perfect with the 80s and old 90s pop music like Des'ree, No Doubt and Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle", very relaxing, calming and it made me want to sing like my inner youth again! Definitely, need more places like these, if you do like "The Great British Bake Off", START supporting small local businesses like these NOW & wake up to the authentic homemade bakery & food. It was so comforting, that I ordered more while I was catching up with my work. With a Oreo Brookie alongside with a cheeky scoop of vanilla pod ice cream & a White Hot Chocolate to finish off. For anyone who fancies a specialty tea house, somewhere nice & quiet, away from the city noise, something to kick back & listen to your favourite classic & old school pop music, with a great variety of teas & a home feeling moment. This is the place for you!! Thank you Dee & Kio/Keo for the very great service and chat. I will definitely come back again and try all of the dishes of the menu.

Went here for coffee and the coffee was OK. The and there was a selection of cakes but I chose a cheese scone. It was served hot with butter and was tasty. The staff were friendly and efficient. They have moved to a new location which is much bigger. There are two floors the ground with typical tables and chairs and the basement with squashy settees and easy chairs. The big issue was it was not warm.

My son treated us to afternoon tea for 2 as a Xmas gift.We booked and went for our treat today.Wow what an amazing feast it was! We have had afternoon tea at some of the best places but this one beat them all.Everything homemade and totally delicious! Cannot recommend this place enough.It was our first visit but won’t be our last.Fabulous, thanks guys and good luck in the new premises!

10 out of 10, staff were friendly and attentive and quality of food was brilliant. Cosy atmosphere and excellent choice of food, we went for the Afternoon Tea but will be returning to try the rest of the menu soon!

Welcoming atmosphere in a cosy town location. Excellent varieties of tea with delicious sandwiches & cake. Pleasant attentive service.

We went for afternoon tea. It was a retirement presents from my work colleagues. It was really nice, from being welcomed as soon as we walked in. The staff were very friendly and explained all the details of what was available to us. It was a lovely experience and would definitely recommend it. 10 out of 10.

Everything was perfect, delicious sandwiches, beautiful scones and yummy cakes. Everyone was so friendly, a really enjoyable afternoon, so pleased I choose this place for afternoon tea.

This was a really fab place for a wonderful afternoon tea. It has a great ambience and the staff are friendly. A brilliant way to spend my birthday, and well worth upgrading to bottomless tea!

Myself and a friend came for afternoon tea and it was such a lovely experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We upgraded to unlimited tea so that we could try a variety of their different teas and they were all lovely! The food was brilliant, the perfect amount and really good quality for the price. Overall we were really impressed and have both said we would like to return in the future!

Was in Nottingham for work and was recommended this place for lunch. Such a cute and calm atmosphere. Wanted to write a review as the owners were really lovely and helped me pick a tea. They recommended the tea Ghost Town as I didn’t want anything too sweet - it was delish!! Had a Country Ploughman’s sandwich and a brownie to eat and was all really yummy. Will deffo be coming back next time I’m in Nottingham :)

I don't leave reviews but when businesses lie you really do need to for the sake of potential customers... Me and my family all came here for afternoon tea and we all left feeling underwhelmed. The grapes were mouldy as stated in the previous review and your reply “one was on the turn” is just not true. At least 7/8 grapes had fur on, I presume you wash them before handing them out? The staff were stand off ish and the space crowded. (Reply will likely be patronising see below) However.. I do bet you can have a lovely afternoon here if you are dining for 2 and they carefully check the fruit, however at the cost of over £90 I wish I just hosted the event in my livingroom.

We came here today for a baby shower. I had contacted in advance regarding dietary requirements for our Afternoon Tea and paid a £25 deposit. We arrived and it was very cramped. Not much room. For us to manoeuvre, especially our pregnant party. We ordered, adding an extra hot chocolate and juice, which should have been an additional £9. (Expensive but it was a celebration). Our Afternoon Tea arrived. It was very cramped for space, not comfortable at all. The sandwiches were OK. The scones were lovely jam and cream served in old gu dessert pots. The other cakes were OK. The fruit however, we noticed was mouldy. I raised this and the staff member took it away. She said "it shouldn't be, it was off the delivery this morning." I did think they were very lucky to get Sunday deliveries, I also thought it strange that no real apology or replacement was offered. We finished the scones the decided to leave. I asked for the bill, but no bill arrived. A different staff member arrived with the card machine. Surprisingly we had to pay £96! I asked if this was with the deposit taken off and was told yes. The email said we would pay £79 on the day. With the extra, that should have only been £88. The staff member didn't present a paper bill and whe asked just said it was correct. Not wanting to spoil the celebrations, I just paid it. I can only presume they charged £8 for the too water?! Overall, it wasn't great. I wouldn't go back there are nicer Afternoon Teas in Nottingham for the same price, where there is more space and edible fruit.

It’s not cheap, but worth every penny. Teas, cappuccino were delicious. All the food really good, but the husband/wife owners are delightful. Passionate about what they do and very welcoming. Thank you Trip Advisor for leading us here.

Absolutely delicious bakes, wonderful tea with plenty of flavours, incredibly charming shop and lovely staff! We always stop by when in town

Lovely cakes and coffee . Very friendly staff, highly recommended. Vegan choices were great and fairly priced. Definitely a hidden gem :)
