We were looking for afternoon/high tea options that offered gluten fee menus, and found this location that offered gluten free high tea. Overall, the food was okay, and it was enjoyable having the experience of tea with sandwiches and pastries. Pictured is the gluten free ham and mustard sandwich and the pesto chicken mayo sandwich, each with a fruit scone and macaron. The sandwiches and scones were very good, I was a little disappointed in the macaron. The menu just specifies a mini patisserie, so I'm not sure if the menu changes from day to day. We made reservations ahead of time, which I recommend because it did get very busy inside. They had a large selection of teas.
Lovely tea room. We had two High Teas the cheddar and chutney sandwich was tasty but a little dry. Could have used something fresh like one or two leaves of salad. But this is my only complaint. The tea was delicious, the scones were amazing and the staff was friendly. A problem with my order was resolved without hesitation and we had a really lovely time there.
Very good afternoon tea experience for vegetarians, too. We had a classic and a vegetarian afternoon tea today, with delicious plain scones with cream and raspberry confiture, a selection of patisserie and three different fresh sandwiches. I chose a royal earl grey tea with milk which perfectly suited the selection, in my opinion. The staff was kind and ready to answer to any request. Highly recommended!
Fine little tea shop with high tea. We each ordered a simple tea, scone, and sandwich. Good enough for a light meal and to continue your journey through Edinburgh. The service was extremely friendly. They even offered us free chutney because we loved it so much.
Had a lovely scone and yellow gold oolong at this lovely loose leaf tea house. They give you a tea timer, so that you can make sure you don’t over brew your tea. They also did not use boiling water for my greener oolong so the leaves were not burned, and they were able to provide more water when i finished my first pot. Lovely service, even while busy, and great selection as well. Had a scone too which came with cream and jam — best I had in my time in Scotland! Much love from a Colorado-an who used to work at a loose leaf tea shop!
Sweet tea room, friendly staff, the food was very delicious. Unfortunately I left my cap there. Is it still lying around there? 😬
It's always a pleasure to stop in for a GF high tea service complete with GF fruit scone and sandwiches. The tea is delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
At home or abroad, it is sometimes advisable to check out cafes etc away from the main attraction. In this case the main attraction was Prince's Street in Edinburgh. Eteaket was a couple of hundred yards away. It was for us a great find. We both love tea, so this cafe was a no brainer for us. Knowledgeable staff were quite happy to answer our questions. We were informed by the staff that they did have some problems. The service was perfectly acceptable all the same. We chose toasted sourdough sandwiches and a tea which we hadn't sampled before. Both were a success. The cafe has a welcoming ambience. Well worth the walk. Well done.
Nice little tea room with friendly staff. Choice of tea is very good and the choice for brunch and lunch dishes. Had the BLT bagel and oh man! The salmon and egg sandwich was also very good. Worth a visit any day. Teapot refreshers included.
We enjoyed afternoon tea here recently. The food was nice however the bread was a little dry and the sandwiches a bit basic (didn’t feel like a treat). The scones and cakes were nice. Staff were very friendly and the service was quick.
A delightful place to grab tea and a snack. Delicious gluten free options. The kids loved the white and dark hot chocolates. My favorite was the whisky tea (not with actual whisky but with a beautiful balance of flavors).
Lovely tea room!
I've been there so many time over the years. I find it difficult to find a good tea room in Edinburgh (mostly coffee shops!) So Eteaket was an amazing find.
Took many visitors there over the years.
Amazing selection of teas and the baked good are also yum
I made a great choice in visiting Eteaket for lunch! I had a wonderful experience there today. The food was absolutely delicious, and I was especially impressed with their wide array of teas and fantastic vegan options. As I am lactose intolerant, they were very accommodating to make sure i made the most of my options. The vegan cream for my scone and the Vegan lemon blueberry cake were top notch! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. I highly recommend Eteaket to anyone looking for a delightful tea room experience in Edinburgh.
Had the high tea here and it was excellent! Highly recommend the whiskey tea. Good service and kind owner.
Totally would recommend this tea house afternoon high tea for 2 was fantastic and the staff were very friendly Totally enjoyed this shall be back 😀
Loved every bite and sip. The macaroons were especially delicious, like angels dancing on the tongue. We tried the Apple and Cranberry Red Riot tea and loved it so much we had to take some home. 10/10.
