Reviews London Tea Exchange

Huge selection of tea, it’s very helpful when staff took their time to answer some of our questions. The place was empty when we came in the morning but I believe it will surely get busy later on in the day. Perhaps that’s why they turned on the radio. It was playing such silly songs from the 90s and early 2000s with the occasional radio DJ rambling. In my opinion, the radio music cheapens the atmosphere of the place. It would be better to have some tasteful sounds befitting a tea time atmosphere if you get what I mean.

My very first afternoon tea/high tea experience in London (wait no, actually in my life!) was a success. I was served by lovely lady Kulsama and another man whose name I cannot remember now. I chose the green tea jasmine tea, which smelled and tasted super good. This was an afternoon tea for one, and I could not finish everything because it was just too much and too filling for me. Sandwiches were good and everything was halal (extra point for this!). Scone with strawberry jam was nice too, but the butter/cream was really hard (not sure if that is normal, I am no British). The vegan cake was too sweet for me but not bad. The baklava was nice, not too sweet. They also gave me a gift of 3 tea bag samples, lovely. Overall a nice experience. The only minus point is that I had to walk a bit far from the closest bus/underground stop to reach this place. Not sure if I would like to go again, but I would definitely say go for it if you want to experience a halal afternoon tea in London!

I visited today with my best friend. We visited as a treat for both of us as a birthday treat. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff. The actual shop was amazing looking, very organised and it felt amazing to look around. I didn't even know where to look. We were seated and given the menu. We went for the afternoon tea for 2 and were asked to select the teas we wanted. We had a look around and could also smell the fragrances of the teas before we decided which one to try. They have such a big variety so we were abit lost as to which one to order so we asked Yasmin for her input. She recommended quite a few and we managed to narrow it down to the 2 we liked. The afternoon tea was absolutely amazing! The sandwiches were nice, the cakes and scones and tea were all so nice. It was abit to much to finish so we took the remaining items home. They even bought us a birthday cake and sang us both happy birthday which was absolutely lovely and made it felt even more special Yasmin was always around to answer all our silly questions and she was super informative. We had an amazing time and most definitely would recommend and be back back soon. Thanks Yasmin and your colleagues you really made us feel welcome. See you very soon x

I went to this tea shop on my birthday and it was absolutely amazing!, the tea tasted so good and the waiter (Kuisama) gave me a free slice of cake at the end, she was so nice. We loved it here I definitely recommend this!.

I came out with my best friend for an afternoon tea at London Tea Exchange at bricklane , I was suprised to see we even had a tea place in our local area that does afternoon tea. Soon as I stepped in place was looking elegant and nice , the staff welcomed us in and greeted us with a smile , we sat and had the high tea experience, every bite I took i really enjoyed it . And the staff name kolsuma was very lovely , she hand made all the sandwiches and cakes. The best one I had was the prawn one and they even gave us these lovely tea to try best one I had was hazelnut & pistachio tea . I would defo recommend this tea place , it’s very affordable and the staff is very friendly. I can’t wait to bring my family.
