    We chose Floris for a midweek celebration with my daughter for her 18th birthday. Perfect outing to enjoy different teas and the delicious treats prior to a visit to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit. We enjoyed trying six different teas - very fun and memorable!

    Beautiful experience. No "store bought" pastries. Excellent pairings for savory and sweet. Tea was the perfect temperature. Would highly recommend!

    Our first visit to Floris was on Christmas Day, and it was perfect! Our second visit was on Easter, and it was even more perfect! Not sure where we go from here... It's such a delightful way to spend a special afternoon with loved ones. The teas are fantastic, accompanied by champagne or Cava, of course. The Savories and Sweets appear to be "small bites," but somehow we were completely full both times. The only suggestion is that we really missed having 1 or 2 little tea sandwiches included as they were the first time. Missed those a lot! We will definitely be back for this special experience.

    The presentation was spectacular! Such a beautiful arrangement. The food was a wonderful blend of savory and sweet with creative and delicious combinations. The service is attentive, but not smothering. It’s a favorite place for a special occasion.

    Floris tea room is a nice change of pace with a fixed price menu & plenty of food. Great service from Ellie. Only distraction was constructed noise down the hall.

    Innovative tea selections - the savory shrimp in coconut milk, & the pineapple with muscavado sugar were particularly good. Emma was very informative and solicitous. Thank you for a lovely experience.
