Afternoon Tea in Pennsylvania

A Lancaster County gem blending afternoon tea tradition with brunch-worthy pastries, non-GMO ingredients, and a charming retail shop — a hidden gem tucked into a residential neighborhood.

One of the region's most enduring afternoon tea traditions, celebrating 35 years of service in a restored Civil War-era row home — where the recipes, the ritual, and the welcome have all stood the test of time.

For 35 years, A Taste of Britain has been bringing a little bit of Britain to Philadelphia’s Main Line. We’re a full-service tearoom, café, and British shop, with a made-from-scratch menu of British favorites, soups, salads, sandwiches, scones, pastries, and more, along with a selection of more than 50 teas. Join us for traditional afternoon tea, meet a friend for lunch, stop in for tea and a scone, or spend some time browsing our large retail shop, filled with imported British groceries, teas, sweets, gifts, and plenty of hard-to-find favorites from across the pond. Some guests come to celebrate birthdays, showers, and special occasions. Others stop in for lunch, pick up a favorite tea, or simply come because a warm scone sounds good that day. We love being a place that can feel special without needing a special occasion. After 35 years, A Taste of Britain has become many things to many people: a favorite lunch spot, a place to celebrate, a taste of home, and a little escape to Britain right here on the Main Line.
