Ivy Joys Vintage Tea Room in Harborough

I booked Ivy Joys Vintage Tearoom, for my friends baby shower. The customer service from the all staff and owners was fantastic from first organising it to them until the end of the baby shower. The food was lovely and had so many lovely comments from people attending the baby shower about the venue. A few people even said they would be returning during a week day for normal afternoon tea. Overall it was a fantastic atmosphere and all the staff was lovely. I would definitely recommend this tea room for celebrating occasions and to friends and family. I would also return here myself for any future occasions. Thank you so much. Kim ☺️

Really enjoyed my first experience here. The staff were amazing and really good with occupying my daughter. Really enjoyed the food too had a lovely egg and toast. Me and my partner will be returning here for lunch when my daughter is back at school. Thank you everyone for the amazing service today.

We had a lovely afternoon tea at Ivy Joys. Very friendly people, really nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back and would recommend to others.

As soon as you see Ivy Joys from the road you know it’s going to be special. We opened the door and both my partner and I exclaimed “wow”. If you like 1940s memorabilia you’ll love this hidden gem. We received a warm welcome by Vera, a very friendly therapy puppy who is just 6 months old and the smiley staff and sat outside in the beautiful garden. We ordered iced coffees and freshly made sandwiches which were equally delicious. Mums and young children plus families were enjoying the sunshine. The children played in the air raid shelter and little play Well - perfect for little people. They could enjoy the different activities and areas in the garden. The owner is friendly, passionate about her business and dresses in beautiful 1940s attire. We can’t wait to go back. Very dog friendly, just wish we’d taken advantage of the yummy cakes!

Great place to have afternoon tea very lovely staff would recommend it very highly we went as group of 16 OAP They did well to serve us

Absolutely amazing. We arranged an afternoon tea for my nans 90th. Natalie and her daughter provided a 10/10 service with absolutely outstanding food and drinks. Very relaxed atmosphere and allowed family and friends in early to allow the suprise element for my nan. Thank you so much Kyle, Lucy, Etta and Eve (Nan)

Loved my time there. The staff were excellent, they were really down to earth. The food was lovely and the homemade victoria sponge. The milkshakes were gorgeous. My daughter had a chicken club sandwich that was lovely. I was disappointed with my corned beef sandwich, could I have done with some condiments and butter. The whole atmosphere of the place is wonderful, and the the decoration is delightful.

A welcoming tea room that immediately takes you back in time. Friendly and attentive service for us, with well-priced tasty cakes and scones. There is an outdoor seating area which we enjoyed, and it contains the mock-up of an old air raid shelter! Go there, relax, enjoy.

Treated my mum and dad to afternoon tea. They loved everything about this lovely tea room, the ladies were lovely, the tea delicious and the vintage theme brilliant. Well done to you all, will definitely treat them again 😊😊

We are so lucky to have this little gem of a tearoom in Leicestershire, today we had it all to ourselves for my Mum and Dad's 50th Wedding anniversary. Wow, where to start the Afternoon tea was simply scrumptious, the variety of speciality teas were amazing. Service and atmosphere first class. Natalie and girls you did us proud today thank you. Thanks also for allowing the kids to play dress up too. You are so good at what you do 🙏

Just been to Ivy Joys for my brother's 50th wedding anniversary. It was for a vintage tea. The food was great, there were sandwiches sausage rolls, crisps,lemon drizzle cake, small lemon tarts strawberries in white chocolate and scones with jam and cream. Tea or coffee and hot chocolate and milk shake for the children. I was really full by the time I'd finished.ovely spread withobely ladies. Thank you Natalie.

Always a warm welcome! Lovely food and environment too! Love coming here 😊

The afternoon tea is amazing. The tea room is nostalgic and the staff go above and beyond on every level. The homemade blueberry cake is an absolute must.

It was the first time I visited Ivy Joy's tea rooms but definitely won't be my last. Its a family run business and you wouldn't find anybody nicer to look after you .The food was first class all home made and very fresh and tasty Thank you all at ivy joys for such an excellent experience

Our first visit to ivy joys did not disappoint! Our afternoon tea was delicious and had an amazing variety of sandwiches and cakes, everything was fresh, homemade and beautifully presented, the tea room itself is absolutely stunning and it was lovely to look around at all the pieces which set the 1940’s theme perfectly. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and make a great brew! Can’t wait to visit again!

A lovely afternoon tea for my grandmothers birthday. The food and hospitality were wonderful and the birthday decorations were a welcome bonus. Would highly recommend anyone visiting this tea room!

Brilliant place, love it so much we will be celebrating my 83rd birthday there with a family buffet in April.

Amazing tea room, service and staff! Highly recommended, thanks again 😉

Good service first class bacon butty

A JOY of a place! Thank you for the most cosy, dreamy lunch today with my little boys. Everyone was so kind to us and didn’t even mind when my preschooler spilled his squash! Will definitely be back. Amazing place that’s obviously been created from the heart. Xxx xx xx

Incredible service from all the girls, delicious food & a beautiful pup to welcome you too. I’d eat here three times a day if I could!

Held our sister's hen party here today, 17 of us all together. We had the afternoon tea and cannot recommend enough!! So much choice of savoury/sweet...... was all delicious!! Natalie & her team are just amazing, nothing was too much trouble, we had a vegetarian in our group but everything catered for no problem. Thank you all so much for everything, all your hard work. Lovely lovely place !!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came here for my grandmas birthday but with the whole family. 3kids, One child with additional needs, vegan and gluten free needs all accommodated. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend

Absolutely lovely place. Great food and drinks. So accommodating for children and dogs. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

90'th birthday, brought back lots of memories - excellent themed venue. Friendly, attentive staff and authentic food and drink (cream tea) loose leaf tea was a little weak, but coffee was fine. Very enjoyable visit, would recommend.

I went to Ivy joys tea room for the first time with some work colleagues for a baby shower. It was amazing. The food spread that was put on was delicious and there was so much variety. All members of staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was lovely to walk round and see all the old photos/memorabilia on the walls/tables. I Will definitely be returning such a lovely place to go.

We had our daughter and friends baby shower at ivy joys and we cant recommend them enough nothing was to much trouble ... we had the buffet which was fantastic something for everyone. The tea room its self is like going back in time it was amazing

Very nice cafe. Warm, nostalgic atmosphere

The most loveliest hidden gem! Ran by an even lovelier family, I've had many lunches, cakes and drinks from here and each time they have been nothing but outstanding! The ingredients quality is superb and for the price you pay its worth every penny! Will definitely be a returning customer ❤️

Beautifully authentic!! A history lesson with tea and cake! 🍰

Took our mum for her 90th birthday afternoon. They was lovely . Food great. Beautiful surroundings.

Had afternoon tea at Ivy Joys and it was great! Staff were super friendly and did everything to make us feel welcome. Great selection of teas and the scones were yummy. Hope to return soon.

An enjoyable place to visit, however after ordering a pot of loose leaf earl grey (decaff) I was told it was the last of it so there wouldnt be enough. This was supposedly not an issue and I was told that I could order the other Earl Grey. When the pot arrived we allowed it to steep for the aloted time and tried it then double the length of time on the timer provided and the tea was terrible it was tastless and reminded me of hot water. When we gave feedback to the staff we were told it was the 'bottom of the barrel' and that 'it was okay' when in fact we were not apologising. This may have been due to miscommunication but it seemed slightly passive agressive.

Lovely place and staff welcoming but we ordered loose leaf Earl Grey tea for two but they only had enough left for one .unfortunately after leaving the tea to brew and eventually stirring it there was still no taste it was actually like warm water. The sandwiches were nice and my mum loved her milkshake . When we were leaving i just said to the young lady "I would just like to mention the tea had no taste" her reply was "thats ok, it was the last scrapes from the bottom of the barrel " and they were getting more tomz " and once again said "that's ok" . I didn't want a refund just an apology after all it is a tea room and we went for the tea.

Nice place, good food but please consider opening on Monday and taking Tuesday off to avoid clashing with Kibworth deli

Just had a Jubilee afternoon tea and it was amazing! Everything was homemade and tasted beautiful. Wonderful service from the staff and the atmosphere was homely.

Fantastic afternoon tea to celebrate my mother's birthday. Delicious food in the most amazing surroundings and served by lovely staff, it really couldn't have been better.

What a wonderful tea room! So friendly and a fab menu too! Highly recommended place to visit!

Absolutely delightful, & very popular, vintage cafe serving hot drinks, 'light bites' & home made cakes & scones in friendly & truly authentic surroundings. Listen to 'Our Gracie' on the radio, read the latest from the front in the 'morning papers' & browse the original ornaments & niknaks on display. If travelling far, I would recommend reserving a table as it soon fills up. On road parking can be a problem as it's a residential area, so you may have to walk a little way, but it's worth it! Why not call in to Kibworth DIY over the road too, if visiting, thèy have a fantastic range of original DIY material including Primus & Tilley accessories!

Good food,good value and very friendly and good service

Pure nostalgia. Good prices and friendly service.

Just Wow. This 1940s tearoom is just amazing. The set up is so wonderful. You walk in and immediately you are transported back to the 1940s. It really does feel like you are in a 40s living room having tea and cake with friends.. The food is delicious and the price is amazing. The staff are really friendly and happy to tell you about the history of items on display.. I really loved every moment and will be going back again...

So where do I begin! Walked in and was greeted by 2 lovely ladies who ran me through the different teas and other items they had. Very polite and professional and the decor in there was amazing! Prices are very cheap and service is fast. Would 100% recommend anyone wanting an authentic nostalgic tea room experience to visit this establishment!

Fantastic place . Really lovely sevice and the cake is yummylicious. Treat yourself to a back in time experience. You won't be disappointed. Book ahead of vist as busy .

Lovely food, beautiful decor and surroundings and wonderful friendly staff. We had a lovely afternoon tea and we're very well looked after. Will definitely be recommending Ivy Joy's to everyone.

Great service, lovely food, fantastic atmosphere highly recommend especially the Afternoon Tea.

Amazing, been a few times now, very friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere. Food beautifully presented and very freshly made. All dietary requirements accommodated. Afternoon tea highly recommended. Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed x

A great, well priced, delicious, welcoming family run business. Highly recommended - one of the best bacons sandwiches about 😋

We had a fabulous afternoon, a wonderful friendly team serving, afternoon tea extremely tasty, we will return soon. Thank-you

My first visit to this delightful vintage tea room. A real treat with fabulous food and tea. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely fab lovely atmosphere,food,and service

Had a lovely time staff so so friendly, it's like steeping back in time, throughly recommended it. GB

Absolute Gem Of A Place. Authentic Surroundings. Beautiful Atmosphere With Fantastic Friendly Staff. The Food Was Prepared With Care. Fantastic Selection Too. Party of 7 including A Baby, We Were Made To Feel Welcome And Nothing Was Too Much Trouble. Thank you. We Will Be Back!

What can I say, the tea room is a delightful place to sit, relax and enjoy the theme. The family that run the tea room are wonderful, kind and professional. The service, the food and of course the teas are fantastic. Please keep up the fantastic work, you are absolutely amazing 👏🏻 ❤️

Very good friendly service and pleasant experience

Birthday treat vintage tea 😋 with my daughter paddy and my hubby. It was very very nice and a trip down memory lane.

Ivy Joy's has quickly become really important to our family, great welcome, thoughtfully set out and perfect for our needs. Thank you

What an absolute hidden treasure! A beautiful 1940'S inspired tea room, with such a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. The attention to detail in the tea room is amazing, and the afternoon tea is delicious. I've visited twice now and will be returning very soon :-)

Lovely afternoon tea for our cousins suprise birthday treat. So much effort has gone into the entire experience, much more than just a traditional afternoon tea, highly recommend.

Beautiful tea room and the cake was delicious. There are so many types of tea to try and the owners are really friendly and welcoming. I was able to smell all the teas before choosing the one I wanted and the customer service provided was superb 😁 thank you so much for a brilliant experience, I will be back.

Had another lovely afternoon with family at Ivy Joys, well worth a visit especially for the cream tea 😋 it's like walking into my nan's lounge and what made it extra special was that we had recently donated my nan's China tea cups and plates and Natalie had remembered and set them out for our afternoon tea, what a lovely touch. Thank you Nat ❤

I took my wife on her birthday for afternoon tea. Quite honestly it was lovely and a brilliant place. The afternoon tea was great, sandwiches, cakes and scones were 10/10. The tea was beautiful and the whole experience was really enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who wants that little something special. Thanks Dan

Beautiful Vintage tea room ! Staff are so welcoming! I hired the tea room for my daughter’s 1st birthday as I really struggled to find somewhere to just have Tea & Cake with my family but Ivy Joy’s was perfect and so accommodating!! The lady who owns the Tea Room and her daughter’s were so lovely and friendly! They put up the decorations and made every effort to make everything super stress free! Thank you so much!! Definitely taking a visit back with family to experience the Afternoon Cream tea! So happy we have found a lovely place right on our doorstep!

Fantastic visit. So friendly. Lovely food and superb staff. Milkshakes really hit the mark!! Defo worth a visit if you live locally or not!!!

Lovely 1940s Vintage tea room ! So welcoming! Definitely taking a visit back with family to experience the Afternoon Cream tea ! The only reason we didn't have it today was because you have to order 24 hours in advance ! Still had cream tea , ( tea, scone, jam and clotted cream ) very nice ! The choice of speciality teas are very good ! I would advice anyone that wants that 1940s Vintage feel to definitely visit ! We will be returning very soon !

Came here with family to treat our nan to a cream tea. Absolutely lovely place. Food and tea was really nice and presented in a lovely way! Lots to choose from too and staff very helpful and welcoming! We could have a look around at all the amazing items that really make you feel you have stepped back in time. But what I love about it is that its clear that Nat the owner has pure passion and really wants to aim it at those with dementia etc. Such a lovely idea where they will feel comfortable and familiar with all the old items around them. She dresses the part too! Highly recommended cant wait to go again👌

Excellent decor, a time warp in a modern world. The food was great too. Staff friendly and attentive. Will be back.

It is a lovely place and run by lovely people x

Excellent Tea room, very friendly like taking a walk in the past, highly recomend.

Lovely cafe with very friendly staff

Having just discovered Ivy Joy's, we were warmly welcomed to a charming tea room with wartime decor which felt you were in someone's front room rather than a business. A very good selection of teas, cakes and snacks and other drinks for us non tea drinkers. Everything was reasonable priced as well. Now on to the proprietors. Natalie and Hathern have made a great effort to recreate a vintage style and were really friendly and helpful. You could tell that that they were passionate about the history of the tea room and of Kibworth. I always think the best compliment to a business it to to go back again,which we did for their craft morning (Wednesday). Thank you very much from Debbie and Graham

Ivy Joys is simply amazing. My daughter had her 8th birthday ‘Tea Party’ here today, and it was incredible (and not to mention delicious)! I cannot thank the team enough. They went out of their way to make sure they all had the best time. It was perfect. Thank you! 🌟Highly recommend.🌟

Lovely place, gluten intolerance is the same price!! Really cosy and relaxed, I love the theme and atmosphere closest you'll get to 1940 without a time machine. We'll worth the trip.

What a lovely place. It was like stepping back in time. Reminded me of my Grandmas house. Great tea and excellent cake and cheese scone.The waitress was charming and helpful and had some lovely stories about the old photos on the wall. Will return.

Great place for tea, you feel like home

Lovely Tea Room with even lovelier staff. Grateful for the service and spending time with us so that we could hear the story behind it too!

Excellent place for a lunch, perfectly priced. Everything is vintage such a classy little spot highly recommended. Great staff great vibes 👍🏻

We went here for a private birthday party. It was fantastic! We loved the attention to detail in the tea room and the lovely staff. The afternoon tea was very tasty too. It’s a little gem in Leicestershire. We will definitely be returning.

We had our first experience here yesterday. Very tastefully done out in 1940s theme. Enjoyed a camp coffee and toastie. Natalie and her daughters are very nice and welcoming. Would go again

Friendly staff, very much a TEA room with a wide range of teas Basic range of food but very reasonable Does a full afternoon tea

Lovely place, lovely owners, Both tea and atmosphere is amazing. If you haven't been there already...then go, this place is truly amazing 🙌

It is like walking into a 1940's living room when you enter Ivy Joy's. The pictures on the wall of loved one's and the radio playing 1940 s music and broadcasts make this lovely tea room very homely. The staff are welcoming and helpful and the food was delicious. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Amazing food and a gorgeous authentic little place. Staff are very friendly too,just wish I had cash to leave a tip. 12/10 would definitley go back.

What a lovely afternoon at Ivy Joys tea room. Gorgeous food and fantastic atmosphere. Thank you Natalie for a brilliant victory afternoon tea! Gary and Jean Adams and family.

I went with the family for an afternoon tea and it was absolutely brilliant! The atmosphere and enthusiasm of the staff was second to none which made the experience more enjoyable. If you're a fan of the 1940s then this is the place to go. We have already booked our second visit.

I went to Ivy Joys Vintage Tea Room today with my mum and my nana, absolutely loved it! Afternoon tea came so quickly and Natalie and Hathern were so nice and welcoming. Will definitely be going back there!

Have just had a Delicious Afternoon Tea with my daughter & granddaughter.Owners are so lovely.Lots of interesting 40’s photo’s & memorabilia to look at.Would definately recommend visiting them.Yvonne X

Absolutely brilliant place to have a cup of tea and cake. Definitely will be back soon

A fantastic family-run cafe, awesome staff and over all couldn't be happier with my time there. I definitely recommend the 'Bears like Marmalade' tea with a scone :) Will most definitely be back and thank you for a great time!

We had such a lovely afternoon enjoying the sweet victory afternoon tea. We were a big party, and had a couple of requests and they couldn't have done more to accommodate them. We asked for a nut free afternoon tea which came lovely presented, and also asked if they could do a childrens afternoon tea which they were more than happy to do for us. Everything was so beautiful and so tasty. Thank you very much! We will definitely be back. (They also didn't mind about the childrens mess, or talking!)

Visited today with my 2 girls, mother in law and husband. We had a sweet victory tea and the girls had ration boxes. Amazing value for money and everything was fresh and tasted beautiful! Staff where so friendly and the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy a pot of tea xx

Absolutely loved our sweet victory cream tea this afternoon. Natalie and Hathern were the perfect hosts that explained the tea brewing process and how to get the most of out of the loose tea that they sell. The variety of teas that are available is fantastic with a little explanation of what is in the actual tea. The afternoon tea had the right amount of sandwiches and cakes on offer to nibble on. The atmosphere was very nostalgic and felt like you had gone back in time and visited a grandparents house for a cup of tea. The authenticity of the tea shop was outstanding and the attention to detail was amazing. I will be definitely be visiting here again very soon!

Visited this afternoon with my wife and mother in-law and being a self confessed coffee addict who's only experience of tea is Assam and generic brands, I entered with trepidation. Well, my attitude was suitably adjusted when I tasted my rhubarb and custard tea... Wow is all I can say!! This was not like the "flavoured teas" you get from the supermarket, it was full of flavour... Oh and the 40's theme is brilliant too and spent a while looking around at the family photo's and memorabilia around the tea room. Natalie and her daughter Hathern have done a brilliant job of showing their love of tea and vintage Britain to everyone 🥰

Lovely service, very nostalgic little tea room. The afternoon tea was good value and very nice. The range of teas they serve are delicious.. really enjoyable afternoon... will definitely visit again soon !

Had a lovely cream tea & kids box at Ivy Joys. Perfect amount of food- great value for money. I went with my husband and two children. Very accommodating for all of us. The theme is brilliant, something I have never seen before. Staff are great too and very friendly. The selection of teas are well described and the staff are there to help you choose (if you wish!) and what to do to achieve the best brew! Thank you!

Visited this lovely tea room today, brought back so many memories, although I wasn't around in the era many of them carried on to my childhood, spam and camp coffee still a fav,the radio with music and announcements amazing, wish Natalie and Hathern every success x

This is a lovely little tea room run but a very friendly mother and daughter partnership. The decor is fantastic with its 1940's theme and a wonderful selection of teas and drinks like ovaltine and camp coffee accompanied by themed food like spam, corned beef etc. Totally Clovid safe, comfortable and very welcoming. We will be returning again soon.

Had a lovely lunch and cup of the Victoria sponge cake tea scone was lovely too staff was lovely and I love the theme and vibe of the tea room

An amazing place with a real vintage vibe. The place looks as though you've time-warmped back to the 1940s. The cakes, scones and tea look amazing & I can't wait to book! Ran by lovely, genuine & passionate people too in their new business venture. Well done ladies 👏
