The Tea Tree in Dacorum

Good service and friendly staff. I had a sandwich with cheese, pickle and ham which was tasty, and fresh, soft bread! A family member had a cheesey jacket potato at £9 which does seem a bit steep (especially since they charge £9 for cheese and beans) so was a bit mean to charge the same just for cheese. However, there was lots cake to choose from and I enjoyed the general ambience and tearoom feel. One other thing to be mindful of is that they do not have a toilet!!

We went today for afternoon tea. We were warmly greeted by a friendly lady and were given a window table. The afternoon tea was delicious and plentiful. We have been to many afternoon teas over the years, and this was one of the best we'd had. The sandwiches and cakes were so tasty, as was the quiche. We couldn't eat all the cakes, and it was explained to us before we started that anything we didn't eat we were welcome to take home - and we did! The lady who had first greeted us was lovely and friendly, and checked in on us a few times to make sure we were happy. The owner also approached us a little later and asked if we needed anything else, did we want more scones etc. We were made to feel very welcome here, and the afternoon tea was delicious and very good value for money. We'll be back!

Best afternoon Tea in Hemel. The staff are so friendly, helpful & felt very well looked after. See you soon! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We emerged from the Old Town Hall Theatre in need of some light sustenance before embarking on our journey home, and so we stumbled across this place just down the road. What a great find! Between us we had a club sandwich, a panini, and a couple of cakes as well as a variety of hot and cold drinks. Everything was great and the service was really friendly and pleasant. Well done team, keep up the great work! If we are ever in Hemel again we will be back!

Lovely ambience. Good food with great presentation. The lady serving on the tables was lovely. There was relaxing music playing in the background. The china was vintage style.

A lovely afternoon tea for my birthday yesterday. Dog friendly. Even gave the dog some treats whilst we ate. Gluten free accommodated for no problem. Cakes were gorgeous and the service was fab. Amazing little gem in a beautiful place. Thank you so much for a lovely visit. 💫

Came today with 5 friends. My first visit and not my last! The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious, the sandwiches, cakes and scones were so tasty - couldn’t quite manage it all so we all took some home! Lovely, friendly service too. Thank you!😊

Afternoon Tea for 3. Lovely and plentiful savories and cakes. The 2 staff were kept very busy while we were there, but nothing was too much trouble, including taking pictures of us! Boxes provided to take home the cakes we couldn't manage. Excellent!

I have guests visiting from abroad and wanted to show them all the lovely spots in Hemel Hempstead. From the moment we walked in, it felt as if we were walking into a place where we were intruding. It was a tense and awful atmosphere. It was my first time visiting the Tea Tree so I made my way to the cashier to ask if we must order there. The lady behind the till was very rude and said we must choose a table and sit. Trying to make the best of the situation and thinking to my self that maybe I was mistaken by her rudeness,she followed us to the table asking for our order and seemingly annoyed that we were looking at the menu so we quickly placed an order under pressure. She then brought our food and proceeded to cough all over it. Then very rudely put the tray down and we waited for her to serve us the food. She then said "right who ordered what?" And signaled for us to all take everything off the tray. She continued coughing and didn't apologize or excuse herself. We found OURSELVES apologizing for not taking the food off the tray fast enough. Ridiculous.The coffee was not nice at all and the cakes were average. Had the service been good and friendly maybe this would have made up for the bad coffee and okay cake. I thought I was maybe mistaken. When we left I asked my guests what they thought and they felt embarrassed to say how unpleasant it was. They didn't want to say anything as I was treating them. But said they were appalled by the bad service. I am hoping that we just visited on a bad day and hoping to give the Tea Tree a second chance and hope that we can put it down to the lady having a Blue Monday.

Came here today for afternoon tea, both ladies were very friendly and accommodating! Afternoon tea was unbelievable!!! The cakes and sandwiches were delicious! Carrot cake is amazing!!!!!

WENT FOR AFTERNOON TEA FOR MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY. THE TEA, COFFEE, SANDWICHES AND CAKE WERE OK. HOWEVER THE SERVICE, THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE ROOM WASN'T GOOD AT ALL. THE PLACE WAS FREEZING COLD AND THE SERVICE WAS EVEN COLDER. WE FELT UNWELCOME FROM THE MINUTE WE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR AND IT DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER. NEVER BEFORE HAVE I HAD TO ASK FOR EVERYTHING WE SHOULD HAVE HAD. FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND WAS TOTALLY IGNORED FROM THE SERVICE.

Took my two teenage grandoughters for their birthday for what we had it was very expensive. Tea was cold sandwiches, poor scones, no jam,cream,or butter, cakes poor, mostly lemon flavours, other cakes, poor, service poor

Eine kleine nette Teestube mit leckeren, frischen Kuchen und Sandwichen. Für einen kompletten Afternoon Tee muss vorbestellt werden. Es gibt aber auch eine große Auswahl an anderen frischen Kuchen und Schnittchen.

Excellent afternoon tea with friends this afternoon. I have had a number of afternoon teas including the Savoy in London and this was by far the best!!! Plenty of selection with the bonus of quiche and coleslaw as well. Tea and coffee was great. Very attentive staff and a fantastic experience. Definitely recommend and will be back soon!!

Excellent cakes and coffee with fabulous service. Lovely tea room on the Old Town high street, lovely clientele. Highly recommend

Visited today with friends and wow what a lovely little tea room, beautiful inside, lovely staff and breakfast bap was amazing, not to mention the cakes! 10/10 definitely a visit if in the area.

A really lovely little cafe. Extremely welcoming, excellent food and great value. Will definitely be back!

Me and a friend had one of the best afternoon teas we have ever had and we have done loads mainly in London including the savoy. When I booked the afternoon tea I requested the table in the window but was told the table was to small for afternoons tea so we would probably have to sit somewhere else. But when we turned they had swapped the table in the window to a much bigger table especially for me and my friend so thank you very much Cheryl.All the food was amazing everything was home made we were given quiche and. Coleslaw, you get 4 cakes each, a small mousse, and a scone with jam and clotted cream and sandwiches and unlimited tea.

Wonderful tea room full of nostalgic beauty. Q lovely warm welcome excellent service. I am booing an afternoon tea .my friend had the famous sausage bap yummy I had some it's a must place to go for sure

I ordered an afternoon tea for 9, with one vegetarian and one gluten free. Not only was the delicious and plentiful but my specials where clearly marked. The gluten free was packaged completly separately from everything else. The tea tree staff where helpful and very easy to deal with. Everyone at that wake kept asking where i had got the food. Hopefully this will translate into lots of new customers. Well done and thankyou for an execptional afternoon tea.

Quaint little tea room on historic high street with beautiful view from window Delicious home made food would definitely recommended Beautiful crockery Had a lovely time

When I need/fancy something special, The Tea Tree is my go to place and I’m never disappointed. This time I wanted a treat at home, so I pre-ordered these delicious cupcakes and brownies last week for this weekend. Beautifully packaged for collection and absolutely scrumptious Always service with a smile from these lovely ladies Cannot recommend highly enough! Already looking forward to my next visit Thank you Tea Tree

Stumble on Old Hemel and you will find nestled there,an excuiste tea room. The welcome was lovely, the Crumpets perfect!

This is the 3rd time I have had an afternoon tea and it was as always amazing and the lady serving us was polite helpful and quite frankly went above and beyond!

My friend & l decided to try this venue out for afternoon tea, having had some good reviews from friends - what a wonderful afternoon we had! The service was fantastic & the afternoon tea was amazing - the cakes were to die for - would most highly recommend anyone who loves afternoon tea, to check it out. Well worth the £25!

A friend told me about The Tea Tree so, after a bit of shopping, my husband & me took a stroll into the olde town. We had tea from a pot in beautiful dainty cups and delicious, fresh sandwiches accompanied by side salad. So nicely...

I visited with some friends of mine and we chose the afternoon tea. Service was amazing throughout! Will definitely be returning :)

Lovely visit to The Tea Tree today. Enjoyed a milkshake in the sunshine, friendly stuff and great atmosphere.

The sweetest little tea room, great food and lovely staff! Delicious homemade toasties and soup are a favourite of ours and to finish with a great big slice of homemade cake! Perfect.

Love their toasted sandiwches and soups. Home made and cosy. Nice welcoming environment. Also offering afternoons teas which will be back to try.

I searched online for an afternoon tea for my friend’s birthday & ‘The Tea Tree’ came up. Great communication so decided to order more so we could celebrate via Face time with her & picked up from front of shop as arranged. Fantastic fresh food,...

I popped into this cafe today to grab a salad for lunch and the pictures explain it all! The cheese is the type you get from pre packed packets used for burgers! The ham was also not good quality. You can see from the size...

I spent weeks trying to book something for my husband's birthday, including some top hotels renowned for their Afternoon Tea but I'm so happy I landed on The Tea Tree. Not only did they offer to accommodate my family when they were fully booked but...

I love this place - the afternoon tea is amazing so nice this was my second visit I will definitely be back

Had a really lovely time at this quaint little cafe, a pot of tea for two was plenty along with a beautiful Victoria sponge and two paninis. Have nothing but good things to say, felt very comfortable eating here with suitable social distancing and cleanliness...

We booked an afternoon tea for 10 of us and had the loveliest time. The Tea Tree is situated in the Old Town which really adds to the quaint and cosy feel that the shop has. We wanted something that wasn’t pretentious but was intimate...

Booked a few days beforehand for a group of 15 of us to go for a cuppa & cake. Lovely friendly staff, delicious homemade cakes & food in a lovely atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed it so much we've booked again & hope to go many more...

This a wonderful place. A group of six school friends went to celebrate one of the group's 60th birthday. The place is delightful, the service excellent and the cakes, sandwiches, scones and endless pots of tea absolutely wonderful. We will certainly come back. This is...

What a gem of a tearoom. We had the carrot cake and the coffee and walnut cake both were huge portions and so moist. We will definitely be back.

This little place is just amazing. We had the quiche followed by cake. I would recommend this Tea Room for everyone. Also, The Staff were very welcoming and polite.

Place was full, we had to come back 30 minutes later. Cakes worth it! ( except the brownies which were just correct ). Service : correct not much

This little tea room is a fantastic place to visit for afternoon tea, lunch, or just tea and cake. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is amazing especially the home made cakes. Tea is served in a teapot and they use loose tea rather than tea bags. A great place to visit.

My boyfriend and I spent one night in Hemel Hempstead (from Manchester, to visit Warner Bros Studio Tour) and we found The Tea Tree online when searching for somewhere to enjoy afternoon tea for my birthday. The shop itself its lovely, very quaint and welcoming. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was to much trouble. The girl serving us talked us through the afternoon tea spread and was very attentive to our needs. The afternoon tea itself is fantastic value for money! You get so much of it, we couldn't finish it all and left with three cupcakes boxed up! All homemade, very big portions and all very delicious. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and if we were ever passing through Hemel again would certainly call in even if just for tea and cake.

A lovely afternoon tea at the tea tree. This little vintage tea shop offers a very friendly atmosphere with amazing food. Everything is homemade so it is important to book afternoon teas in advance. The staff are very friendly and are on hand to continually fill your coffee cup or tea pot.

I have been looking forward to trying The Tea Tree for ages - they get great reviews and it seemed like the ideal place for a celebratory afternoon tea - which we booked, albeit spur of the moment for later the same day. Cutting a long story short, although the booking was accepted and confirmed as afternoon tea with cake, not lunch, when we arrived we were told that we had to book afternoon tea days in advance and were made to feel, by being spoken to so the whole tea room could hear, like we were making up our booking - "I don't know who would have taken that booking - she must have thought you meant lunch, everyone knows you have to book ages in advance". No apology, no trying to come up with an alternative (they had scones, so perhaps they could have offered a cream tea on the spot) - just rude staff who both gave "the look". What sort of tea room can't offer afternoon tea - particularly when it has been booked? Is it really that difficult to put a couple of scones and a piece of cake on a tray? And why the shocking service? And seriously - no apology? Also no toilets here which isn't great. The cake was nice, but I can make a cake and a cup of coffee - that isn't the experience I was after, and I certainly won't be going back. I wouldn't even give one star unless I had to.

We have just enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea comprising freshly made quiche, a selection of sandwiches, lemon posset, scones, jam and cream and several different homemade cakes, all washed down by a hot pot of earl grey. It was all nicely presented on matching china and laid out on a tablecloth. We were beaten by the cakes and had a doggy bag to bring them home. The staff were very pleasant. However, afternoon tea is only served on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and must be booked in advance. The reason is because everything is home made freshly. It was worth every penny but don't have lunch beforehand!!

What a delightful place to visit. The cakes in this café are to die for. They are home made and delicious and the portions are generous. Tea comes in a pot and the coffee is good also. The ladies serving are cheerful and welcoming. We will definitely be making a return trip.

Although no toilet within premises it's a nice place for a cuppa and snacks in the Old Town of Hemel.

Visited with relatives from America and France and they (as well as us) absolutely loved their afternoon tea. The selection of sandwiches was vast and there was also quiche, cakes and scones. The scones were warmed up and served with cream and jam. Staff were very friendly and helpful. So much to eat that we couldn’t finish all the cakes so they were packed into boxes so we could take them home. So even those that didn’t come with us were able to sample the amazing cakes. Most definitely worth a visit ... or two!

My wife and I stopped in for a quick tea / coffee and cake. This is a very quaint little place in the 'old' Hemel Hempstead. Very pleasant and friendly people... fresh and tasty cakes and small but very quaint setting...

Afternoon tea for two and scones and cake. Staff friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Nice surroundings and clean toilets. Big winner for us.

I booked afternoon tea at the Tea Tree for me and my mum on a Friday afternoon after hearing great reviews from friends about the place.

The cakes are very tasty and huge. The scones are lovely. The sausage sandwiches are too good to be true. Very speedy and friendly service. Louis, aged 8.

On a cold December day we needed food and coffee. We found this little cafe which was stunning.. The service was exemplary, nothing was too much trouble. The ambiance was superb. Food including home made soup and drinks were freshly made and delicious. I couldn’t speak too highly of this little cafe - a hidden gem.

A lovely friendly traditional tea room in Hemel Hempstead Old Town. We went for coffee and cake but there are also snacks available and you can book to have a full afternoon tea. There was a very good selection of homemade cakes on the counter. My husband and I both chose to have a latte, which came piping hot and a slice of chocolate cake. It was delicious and one of the largest slices of cakes I’ve ever seen! and very good value at only £2.50. It’s well worth a visit and we shall certainly return.

Generous pots of tea and tasty home made cakes. Just the right thing to give warmth and cheer on a miserable rainy day like today. Very nice place, friendly people.

On our journey to Eastbourne on Monday 20th August, 2018, we called at Hemel Hempstead (Old Town) which is very quaint and picturesque. We visited the Tea Tree Tea Room for a snack. It's a lovely place with an oldie worldie charm and a nice atmosphere. We had a scone, cake and teas. The portions were quite generous. A very pleasant lady served us. Would certainly visit again if in the area.

One of the best afternoon teas ,sandwiches quiche posset scones with jam and cream and lovely assortment of cakes ,plenty of coffee (don't drink tea ) .Friendly staff nothing to much trouble highly recommended

A must for having a lovely lunch date or afternoon tea. The Tea Tree is a lovely oldie worldie tea shop which can be found in Hemel Hempstead Old Town..

popped in while on a shopping mission with my niece. We both had the cream tea - huge, fresh (warm!) scones, ample cream and yummy good quality jam. Sensible prices, lovely atmosphere and friendly service - what more could you ask for!

Went there with a friend for lunch. It was lovely, the fresh sandwhich we had to the homemade cakes. The lady that owned the place was very helpful and friendly. A table next to us we're having an afternoon tea and it was definitely food envy! I would highly recommend a visit

I would highly recommend a visit. Although there is not loads of dishes to choose from there is enough and what they do, they do it very well. I know it’s changed owners recently, but it’s not changed except I think it’s improved! Just be careful with the cakes! They are just too delicious!!! One slice is more than enough! Don’t forget I warned you!!! A great place to visit & while your there pop up to the House of Elliott. In my opinion these are two of the best places to visit in Hemel Old Town. I would highly recommend.

This was our first visit here after recommendation from freinds and would definitely go back again Staff very helpful

A small cafe serving freshly made cakes and tea in boutiquey comfortable surroundings. The service was a little slow but the cakes were lovely. The place was full and was a hive of activity (morning) from young mums with babies, to a group of retired ladies. Probably worth booking (if you can) to avoid disappointment. Will go back.

Enjoyed a slice of cake and a cup of coffee with a friend. Sat in the comfy window seats and watched passersby. Service was warm and welcoming. I was disappointed to be told that they had no toilets and that I should use those in the Town Hall. I've had several cakes from here over the past couple of months and they've always been great, as today.

The cake beat me! It was so food i ate more than I could fit. Lovely staff. Great choice and perfectly done. Have bewn wanting to go for a while but will definelty go back!

This place is spot on, wonderfully friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff. Absolutely delicious home baking, especially the coffee & walnut cake 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 The coffee is pretty good too!!

Had the pleasure of visiting the tea tree for afternoon tea on Saturday . It was perfectly perfect in every way . The sandwiches were fresh , varied and plentiful accompanied with a generous slice of quiche .The cakes were mouth watering , moist and delicious followed by wonderfully warm scones with cream and jam . Throughout our tea our drinks were replenished.. would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon .

Such a lovely old fashioned type of tea room. Friendly staff, spotlessly clean place, and really delicious food. Lovely ambience.

Just had an amazing home-made afternoon tea at small but very cosy ‘The Tea Tree’. The staff were lovely & couldn’t do enough for us. We were earlier than expected & they were kind enough to sort out our table straight away! Fantastic selection of sandwiches, quiche & cakes. Not to mention any tea you could want, served in beautiful teapots.

This is a great little tea room, set in a historic building in Hemel Hempstead's Old Town. We received very efficient and friendly service from Anita and Claire, and when Eileen left at the end of her shift, she said good-bye to us, even though she wasn't even involved with serving us. The atmosphere is real cosy and friendly, and everything is served using traditional china cups, saucers and plates.

Friendly and warm staff and a nice atmosphere, very good value for money! Especially the chocolate cake!

We come here quite often and cannot fault it. Their food is wonderful and so fresh, the staff are so...

I loved it here! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Beautiful china and display cabinets. I took my mum here...

I visited here for the first time today for afternoon tea with my sister and Mum. We were greeted by two wonderful ladies with a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere as soon as we went through the door and what a beautiful place. Nothing was too much trouble and as soon as we saw the beautiful homemade cakes and started talking about the gorgeous coffee and walnut cake this was added to our afternoon tea.

I visited The Tea Tree for lunch this afternoon with my friend, and was blown away with the service, price and standard of food

The Tea Tree do the most glorious offerings. A friend and I wanted to meet somewhere between where we both live and, having been recommended by another friend, we chose here and were certainly not disappointed. The owner is lovely, the cakes are to die for and the snacks are more like meals! My friend and I started with coffee and the most delicious coffee and walnut cake. Having sat and talked for ages my friend then had a brie and cranberry sandwich and I had a tuna melt panini. Also both delicious.

Visited today, coffee with friend. Such a warm welcome, really friendly staff, and excellent service. 100% recommend a visit.Easy assess, comfortable seating.

I love a good old cup of tea and slice of cake and this place was amazing. Such beautiful service, cake, tea and people. The owner was so wonderful and caring and made a bad day much better. Sad to hear she is leaving but if the new owners continue this way then this place will never fail. Thank you for a lovely tea and chocolate cake.

We were looking for somewhere to eat before going to Drift Limits for my Birthday present and walked to the old towns having mistakenly gone to the other bit of Hemel. The Tea Tree is a small told fashioned tea room with very friendly staff and freshly made food. The lady serving noticed my birthday cards and offered a slice of cake on the house which came over with a lit candle in it, a very nice touch. Big pots of tea which is always welcome!

Impromptu coffee & lunch date with a friend found us wandering the Old High Street, there are a selection of places to eat but we chose this one. Very friendly staff. Great little menu. Veggies catered for. We had Jacket potato. With salad and coleslaw . Tuna for me. Cheese for my friend. £5-50p each. Large servings. Extensive list of teas & coffees.Kids welcome. A nice place with old worlde feeling. A 1950's kind of feel. Quirky little nik naks for sale.

I booked afternoon tea at The Tea Tree as a Mothers Day treat and I would thoroughly recommend it. It was very easy to book through a Facebook message and we felt very welcome from the moment we opened the shop door. The food was plentiful and delicious, everything was home made. The shop was constantly busy whilst we were there, which shows how good it is, and the girls worked tirelessly without loosing their smiles or friendly service. The cafe is decorated with lovely vintage items so there is lots to look at! We will definitely visit again when we are next over that way as the main menu of jacket potatoes, panini's etc all look delicious!

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime and was a little disappointed. I had a cheese and pickle sandwich which needed more cheese and pickle. The brown bread was just a normal sliced loaf but for £6:50 a sandwich I would expect a thicker sliced whole meal bread. My husband had a panini which again was not great. On a positive the coffee was good and the old fashioned layout was quite sweet. Wouldn't return though as not worth the money.

The Tea Tree was the venue for my daughters surprise afternoon tea hen party. The home made food was amazing and the service was excellent, Lisa and her girls were very attentive. The afternoon was a great success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend the Tea Tree, it is really worth a visit. Thank you Lisa for all of you attention to detail and hard work.

Have popped in a few times over the last few months and always found the ladies here welcoming and friendly. The tea, coffee and hot chocolate is good and a lovely selection of food...the homemade cakes are especially nice...very reasonably priced

I've been to the Tea Tree several times now and would highly recommend it. Lovely, friendly service, nice cup of tea in a teapot and chine cup and some scrumptious cakes too.

Lovely tea room serving delicious cakes and lunches. China cups and teapots, lovely atmosphere and staff. A real find.

Quirky teashop serving delicious home-made light lunches. Quiche was a winner, and the jacket potato with tuna mayo declared to be the best ever. Random collection of old-fashioned tables & chairs helped create a feeling that this is a one-off. Service is quirky and inefficient, but friendly and charming - as long as you're not in a hurry.

pequeña cafetería situada en el old town que es cara pero el hor chocolate está genial. la camarera es muy simpática

Found this hidden gem of a tearoom on my,thankfully 1st day of my stay.Lovely tearoom, friendly staff, yummy home baking. Regular coffee stop.

I came across this lovely place by chance.... the service is good the cake is delicious ( even gluten free) and the whole place is spotless

Went for a weekday lunch with a girl friend, was recommended by another friend who lives in the area and what a wonderful find, Full of character, lots of attention to detail, great menu...we just had sandwiches which were freshly made and very tasty, and came with crisps and salad, the coffee was great, the service was warm, friendly and efficient - can't fault it....

Very busy, quaint little tea shop /cafe. This is a family run business, food home cooked. Varied menu, reasonably priced. Although busy our order was soon taken and we did not have too long a wait for the food. Well worth the visit, but small portions, not for those with big appitites. Room a little crowded, as cafe small. Only downside, no customer toilets, but you can use the public toilets in the Old Town hall opposite.

A hidden gem in Hemel. Loose leaf tea made in a pot (and you get about 3 or 4 cups out of the pot!) and a wonderful selection of cakes. Friendly welcoming service.

I love it here! itis the perfect little tea shop with such friendly staff, tasty treats and a lovely atmosphere. Ideal for meeting friends or visiting for a quiet little cuppa. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly old fashioned tea shop. Great atmosphere with fab home made cakes, and they cater for food allergies. There seemed to be two different kinds of gluten free cakes available. Friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Great for tea, cake & gossip ( lunch too). Lovely cakes, atmosphere & smiley staff. It gives you a wonderful feel good factor just being there.

Lovely staff, great selection of food and teas, all served on vintage plates and crockery!The cakes are lovely too
