Lovely place, helpful staff, fabulous tea selection, the best I've ever seen and the food is delicious, hearty portion sizes.

This is a hidden gem! As an avid flavoured tea drinker, this place is heaven. They know their stuff, and have a tea for every pallete. Their pierogi is delicious and looks homemade, and I have it every time I go. The staff are some of the loveliest people, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Thank you for the perfect pick-me-up!

I love the tea shop. We had two fruit teas and the lovely polish dumplings. Delicious! It was a little difficult to get the waitresses attention and hard to get her to understand our order. I ended up with the wrong tea - but didn’t want to complain and enjoyed it regardless.

Quite a gem especially if you either love different herbal teas or if you are Polish. Obviously if you love this quisine and the teas, Brilliant place! My only judgement is that it's badly lite downstairs. But there is a first floor to this place. Toilet is not accessible for wheelchair users etc as it's down a set of steep stairs.

Well worth seeking out - extensive food and beverage menus, fast, friendly service and the food is delicious. A real pleasure to have brunch here.

I stumbled into Tea House in Preston expecting perhaps a séance with my scone, but instead discovered this brilliant little gem serving up English and Polish food with equal enthusiasm. I ordered what I can only describe as the most gloriously plate of food I've ever encountered! The roast potatoes were excellent and the service came with a lovely cup of tea. The staff were also lovely and the prices are spot on for the generous portions. I left feeling like I'd been fed by actual home cooks rather than just restaurant staff. I would definitely go back!
