Cinders Tea Rooms in Isle of Wight

Cute little cafe, offering some delicious vegan options. The coffee was superb and the owner took interest in you as a customer making sure you were happy with your order and comfortable.

The family at AtlasAdventured highly recommends eating here! What a super cute place! We had been looking for the perfect place to have our very first “afternoon tea” in the UK. We went to all of the top rated spots in town, all of which were closed or unable to seat us, so when we walked past Cinders we decided why not. It ended up being the best “why not” of our trip! Meg was so great. She could tell it was our first time and she gave spot on recommendations. She was also so good with our toddler and even made her a balloon animal! The biscoff rocky road, cherry almond scone, crumpet with honeycomb butter, and the pesto mozzarella croissant were the highlights of our tea! Everything was super fresh, crisp vegetables, and perfectly sweet. So much food for such a good price. The inside of the restaurant is clean with cute decor. There are also a bunch of toys and books to keep the kids busy while you relax! Thank you so much for the best afternoon tea experience! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Shanklin!

Visited the cinders tea room service was very friendly coffee cake amazing Went back for second visit during our stay had amazing sandwich coffee will return next year

Delicious jacket potatoes with plenty of choice of toppings and a wonderfully friendly environment. Great value for money and lovely, clean tearoom.

Great homemade food. Ordered the broccoli quiche, which was lovely. Lattes were also very good, so much so that we returned for coffee and cake. The raspberry and coconut cake was amazing and homemade by the proprietor..will definately visit when we return. The menu is not large, but there's something for everyone.

I spent a week in Shanklin and was lucky enough to find this lovely cafe. I went here every day - the service was fantastic, food great and even better coffee. The staff were perfectly happy for me to work here too. Good wifi connection meant I could 'work from home' in the cafe whilst sipping the tasty coffee!

Cinders serves up good honest food. Nothing terribly fancy (it doesn't need to be) but fresh and decent ingredients. Where it scores highly is the friendly and charming service and the attention to detail. They made us a salad not on the menu and the drinks all came with small biscuits etc. Nice People - recommended.

Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon tea today! Such nice sandwiches, cakes and they went out their way to make non-fruit scones for us as we asked if this was possible, amazing service, very attentive and so accommodating especially for my little one (8 months)! It’s also very pretty in there which is always nice! Thank you again and we will look forward to coming again soon 😀😀 xx

Very friendly and comfortable and ideally situated. A great choice of drinks at very reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend and return

Always a friendly, smiley welcome when you visit Cinders cafe. The staff are lovely and there's always service with a smile. They serve great tasting coffee, have a wide selection of teas and other drinks including smoothies - all freshly made to order. The food too is good with a nice selection from which to choose. If it's a sweet treat you want, then Meg and Sarah offer a variety of homemade cakes.... all delicious! I recommend you visit next time you're in Shanklin.

This is a lovely cafe - bright, clean, fresh and run by a welcoming and friendly mother and daughter team. My favourite coffee is a soya flat white and I've tried to order this at various places across the Isle of Wight without success. What comes back is always frothy and pretty undrinkable. But this time it was great - just what I was hoping for. So if you, like me, are off cow's milk in your coffee, this is the place to visit!

Amazing cafe. The staff are friendly and the food is gorgeous. Fresh and homemade. We love visiting Cinders whenever we are on holiday on the Isle of Wight

Great find today in the rain... nice atmosphere and lovely food... the scones are to die for! Not a huge menu, but enough to please most people 🙂🤩

My wife, myself and two long-time friends, all in our sixties, had coffee/tea and cake at this café and it was such a lovely experience. When we arrived they didn’t have a table for four, but someone kindly moved from their table to let us have two tables for two side by side. I’m guessing that this person was a local so it showed just how nice the people from Shanklin really are. The staff were equally as pleasant and made us feel really welcome. The food and drinks were excellent value and superb quality. We were really glad that we found this little gem of a café and can highly recommend it.

We were holidaying in Shanklin and it was a dull dreary day. We came across Cinders and decided to have a cream tea. A lovely friendly welcome and a really lovely cosy tea room. We were asked what flavour jam we would prefer. When the scones were brought to us we were told that they had run out of cream so we had less than normal BUT it really was plenty for us. However they reduced the bill for us which was very nice of them , even though we really had enough. Exceptional customer service. Thank you.

Lovely cream tea, Stopped by with friends and ordered cream teas. Coffee was lovely and the scones were warm and a nice size. Staff were friendly. The cafe decor is quaint.

We really enjoyed a visit today to celebrate a birthday. The afternoon tea was wonderful, very large, incredibly tasty and excellent value. More than enough for 2! The owners were friendly, helpful and very thoughtful. Thank you for a lovely experience!

A lovely little place where the owners where so lovely to let us stay and charge our phones and use the wifi. The milkshakes where lovely and the scones. Highly recommend!

Just passing through in need of a light lunch. What a great find, a little corner cafe with attractive decor and friendly staff. My light lunch failed me, I spotted the Ploughman's Lunch and didn't look back. An amazing spread, lovely bread roll, ham cheese,...

Fantastic little gem. Team went out of their way to squeeze us in despite being very busy. Food, drinks and service were all great and would highly recommend to anyone over the bland big chain alternatives. Highly recommend the Lotus Biscotti Milkshake

Called in for a spur of the moment coffee break. Very impressed by the range of drinks available and also the option of alternative milks available (which was great for our vegan daughter). Sadly we had already had breakfast otherwise we would have been tempted...

As our family annual holiday visit to Cinders, this was a wonderful visit. The menu has been changed and has even better choices available. As always, the service is very personal and very friendly… one reason why we come back every holiday. Very healthy selection...

Had nice lunch here whilst visiting Shanklin. Nice selection of scones and home baking plus a good size menu,all served on vintage tableware.

As a new person to the island I was in Shanklin and stopped here for a snack, it's a very cute cafe with lovely chatty staf, Megan made me a lovely panini and bubblegum milkshake and biscoff cake!!! I will be back very soon!!!!

Lovely tea room in shanklin. The two women who run it were very friendly and the cakes looked lovely

Lovely homemade scones . Traditional fruit and plain scones were available but I tried the Ginger ones with Rhubarb Jam which were really good. They also sell home produced bath products that look really good as well.

Situated in the Town Centre you can have your coffee in a proper cup. It tastes so much better. The service is friendly and courteous and there is good value food to be had.

Never tried even though live quite close what a nice surprise the front is now more open and the staff smiling understanding faces made a lovely visit. They even read stories to children. Not the Ritz but does exactly what it says out to do...

Such a lovely tea room, the best coffee in town, staff lovely and welcoming and the cutest tea cups and saucers

A really delightful family run tea shop. I went in for a bit of 'me time' and had an amazing hot chocolate and a pot if tea. The Mum and Daughter running the place were friendly and efficient. And I bought a really tasty brownie...

Lady was lovely and the scones were delightful. Service was great and I even got a free price of cake as it was the last piece as she insisted it was to small to sell me. Really nice place will definitely visit again.

Popped in for a late coffee and cake stop and it was so good it lead to staying longer and having cheese on toast too.Super service and would recommend to all.

I enjoyed my evening but found it unbearably hot date in the dining area, which made me not enjoy the food as much as I was keen to sit where it was cooler. May I suggest investing in a few fans to make it more comfortable please.Thanks

Well looked after and lovely food. There was a choice of gluten free food which I need, and tables spaced for virus protection.

We visited Cinderella's Tea Room in Shanklin whilst on a weekend coach tour of the island. We had an afternoon to explore Shanklin and was looking for an afternoon tea.The tea room is situated in Shanklin High Street at the junction with Languard Road, and we found it whilst walking back from the ‘Old Village’ area of the town. Although away from the more obvious tourist areas, it is worth a visit if you are an aficionado of cosy ‘English’ tea rooms. We were specifically looking for a cream tea although the tea room appears to cater for other forms of refreshment judging from the menu and specials board inside.On the afternoon of our visit (Saturday in March), the tea room was empty (although another customer came later), and we found a table for four near the window easily. The tea room is not large but the interior is very light courtesy of the large window looking out onto the High Street. The interior is very nicely decorated and gives the visitor a welcoming and ‘homely’ feeling and creates a relaxing atmosphere, possibly due to the lack of any significant passing traffic either vehicular or pedestrian during our visit.We all opted for a ‘Cream Tea’ and there were several options as to the content for this with our group opting for a mixture of fruit or Ginger scones. There was also a choice of jams and we chose either strawberry or ginger & rhubarb which tasted very nice. We chose decaffeinated tea and this was served in a pot together with additional hot water for a refill. The tea was made with tea bags so there was no need for a strainer on this occasion. Milk was served in a small jug and we received a refill on request together with some more hot water. The crockery was all china tea cups and pot and although we did ask for a fresh cup and spoon, this was provided with a minimum of fuss. The lady serving in the shop was friendly and helpful when we spoke to her and obviously takes a pride in both the shop’s appearance and the visitor experience.If you are in Shanklin and looking for a more intimate afternoon tea experience away from the busier and more populous areas of the town, then we would certainly recommend a visit to Cinderella’s.

ok but not that keen bland food ok for a cuppa and cake won't go back not my cup of tea everybody to their own

Super welcome, service and food.On a wet and windy afternoon this place and the owner brightened our day.Lovely handcrafted items in the shop.The tea was nice with extra hot water offered.I highly recommend the ginger scone with rhubarb and ginger preserve.Thank tou

Really nice little shop and tea room, owner very approachable and friendly, food was served quickly. Lots of nice craft things in shop reccomend to all

Sehr kleines, süßes Café in der Innenstadt von Shanklin, wenige Sitzplätze, aber süß und romantisch eingerichtet. Ich hatte Ginger Scones und Cappuccino. Die Ginger Scones noch mit extra Ginger Jam waren hervorragend, der Kaffee natürlich auch!Ich komme wieder!

We got to our last day on the Isle of Wight, and having been to many eating establishments through the week, the other half and I had not yet managed to sample a cream tea. Unfortunately, our ferry was scheduled for 12 noon (I won't make that mistake again) so I was resigned to the fact that the tea would not be happening this visit. As we walked through Shanklin just after 9am we noticed the Cinderella tea room was open. You could imagine my eyes were the size of saucers and my heart just leapt on seeing 'cream tea' on the menu in bold letters. The lovely lady kindly served us the tastiest scones, which were well worth the wait, along with the clotted cream and a range of different flavoured jams. We ended our lovely holiday on a high note and I got my cream tea, or should I say breakfast?...

We called in here for breakfast while waiting to check into our accomodation. Lovely friendly service, best crumpets I've eaten for AGES and tea served in China. Yum! It's an interesting shop as they also sell quality clothing and crafts. Definitely worth calling in.

My wife and I visited Cinderellas tea room on our trip to the Isle of Wight.It's a pleasing little establishment with a side line of arts and crafts decorating the tea room that are also offered for sale.The tea it's hot, the food is nice and to top it all off, there are two adorable and very well behaved dogs who are permanent residents of the tea room....a must for dog lovers!

This is an amazing little Tea Room. So friendly and all their cakes and scones are freshly made. I chose the coconut scone with raspberry jam and clotted crea. Wow!! amazing so light and very tasty. Hubby had the cherry and almond with jam and cream and that too was amazing. A place not to miss if visiting Shanklin.

I have been here a few times , lovely welcoming atmosphere, staff are chatty and polite , food is great .

Using china crockery and providing lovely tea with the ideal snacks one associates with a typical tea room, it is possible to relax in a really nice atmosphere. Run by Sarah and Toni, the welcome is always friendly. With a selection of sandwiches and scones and cakes it is the perfect location to wind down.

It's a tea shop and a shop with Vintage clothes they sell for other people as well as nik naks. The Ginger scones where absolutely wonderful Highly recommend. Only a few tables but because we were meeting friends we booked the table. Quite busy

We stopped off here for a cream tea and I accidentally bought a beautiful dress so a bonus! Highly recommend you visit this gorgeous little cafe and try the ginger scones, worth the ferry trip alone. The owner is so friendly and they do all their baking and crafts themselves.

What a great find! We always look for dog friendly tea & coffee shops and this dear little place suited us. I had the best hot chocolate I’ve had in a long time and my husband said his coffee was excellent. The lady was very friendly and we felt welcomed. I only wish we hadn’t already made lunch plans to meet family because I’d have stayed here to eat! I also ended up with a darling little hand made felt hamster, not what you’d expect in a tea/coffee shop but the crafts in here were delightful. We’ll pop in again when we next visit the IOW.

The welcome is warm here, as are the scones! A lovely cheese scone and equally lovely fruit scone, together with tea ☕️ served in nice old bone china cups. If you’ve time, you can even find a suitable dress 👗 before heading on.

Found this fabulous tea room come dress shop in Shanklin it’s the best hot choc I have ever tasted plus it WAS hot fab place.

We were attracted to the pace by Talulah and Florence, the owner's 2 Imperial Shih Tzu dogs who were curled up fast asleep on the chairs. We were given a very warm welcome by them and also the proprietor. The rooms are small, but intimate, with lots of porcelain on display. None of the porcelain used for the tea matched but this adds to the quirkiness of the place.We had a cream tea - the scone was still warm and delicious, tea cakes were lovely and the tea and coffee were great. Prices were very reasonable too. We came away with smiles on out faces and revitalised. Strongly recommended if you need a snack and a cup of tea.

This is a delightful little concept tea shop combined with a dress agency. It's delightfully feminine, but you don't feel out of place as a man, just welcome. The owner works out of a tiny space making tea and sandwiches for her customers and producing wonderful scones and jams. Everything is served on bone china crockery made in the latter part of the last century which gives you that feel of retro, but that's not overdone, so you don't feel like an extra for some tv series about policemen and midwives struggling with the day job in the benighted sixties....enough! I must mention Tallulah and Florence, who, along with the host entertained us and made us feel most welcome. By the way, this is very important to point out, this tea shop was open after four o'clock, which is unusual these days.....lovely.

We called in to the Tea Room on our first look around the village on arrival. It is a girly chintzy type place but very pleasant. The proprietor and her two small dogs were welcoming. It was late afternoon and there was still some scones and sandwiches made fresh on order. A pleasant half hour at reasonable prices.

This place is a hidden gem. The place looks like an old English tea room. The service was top notch. The scones were very tasty at a reasonable price. We will definitely be visiting this tearoom again.

first time i went into this tea shop how pleasent it was old type tea sets on a welsh dresser how great to see i had a cream tea and it was very good i will call back next year its on the main street and can be busy but old England is here. df

Lovely wee tea room, tasty wraps, excellent customer service and two well behaved dogs, and friendly owners. 😊

We wanted to find a place that did delicious gluten free cream tea - this is the place and it was delicious and prepared for us so wonderfully. Also we were watched by two adorable young shitsu dogs that make something of the character of the place where you can get a truly original English cream tea. There's no place quite like it!

We visit Cinderella’s twice each year when we are on the Isle.

What a lovely little tea room and fantastic home cooked food, we called in late on a Friday and was greeted immediately. We had home make scones and there was an amazing choice of types, I went for a ginger scone with Rhubarb jam. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

We visited for lunch during our recent holiday. Having spotted the vegan scones on the menu and dogs welcome, it seemed too good to be true and headed straight there! We arrived and were so pleased to find a table free. We were all made very welcome, dogs included, and as vegans were spoilt for choice. We opted for bagels with hummus, beetroot and roasted peppers - absolutely delicious and all freshly prepared to order. The dogs were brought a fresh bowl of water and treats, whilst we enjoyed a yummy vegan fig and oat cake slice. Thank you for a wonderful lunch and for providing interesting and sumptuous options including those free of animal products - certainly our go to place for lunch in Shanklin from now on!

Wonderful scones with home made jam and while you are waiting for the tea to brew you can browse through the lovely selection of clothes and shoes they have for sale! All served in proper bone china t pots and cups and saucers. A real gem!

Been here a couple of times. the lady lets us use the staff toilet and she has home made scones. tea and crumpets for me. all good. cute little shitzu dogs are in the cafe, but they are cute and well behaved.

As a vegan I felt very welcome here with vegan scones and a couple of different vegan cakes on offer. The service was very friendly. We enjoyed it here - much less touristy than the places up the road near the Chine (none of which offer any vegan options) - it has a more local and friendly feel to it.

Warm welcome & lovely food. Proprietor is most welcoming, and there was the added pleasure of making a fuss of the 2 very well behaved :-)Shih-tzus

Had a lovely afternoon tea with a nice selection of sandwiches and scones to choose from. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff. A must visit if you are in Shanklin.

Small tea room seating 12. Very nice people, good service. Limited choice of home made cakes and scones. But plenty of different types of scones! Gluten free and vegan cakes and scones available. We found this tea room about 12 months ago and have called in since when we have been in Shanklin. Choice of tea\coffees etc.

Popped in for a pot of tea, and to try a scone. Picked the ginger scone which was off the chart coupled with homemade rhubarb and ginger jam! topped with clotted cream what is not to like! So reasonably priced, lovely atmosphere well done to all involved. A stop to be recommended without a doubt! Will make sure I get to have a nose about in the clothes shop at the back next time, looks very interesting.

This lovely little place could be easily missed in Shanklin. It is a great tea room with amongst the best cheese scones I have eaten (and i have eaten a lot in the name of reasearch:-) it is a quirky little place with lovely bits and pieces and pretty mis-matched china. It will have to be the ginger scone next time. Also, really friendly ladies running the place.

Desperate for a cup of tea, saw Cinderellas, they welcomed our dog, it was our good luck to have happened upon this little tea room. Quaint interior showcasing skilled crafts, vintage dresses, tea service memorabilia. The owners also run craft classes. Two resident shih tzu's Tallulah and Florence complete the 'living room' comfort.

A great find on a wet day. Yummy homemade scones and jam (Ihad plum and my friend had ginger and rhubarb jam). Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, quirky setting, great array of recrafted gift ideas. Also the chance to try and buy glamorous dresses! What more could a girl want!

Had a love birthday tea party for my daughter. Made very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. I would recommend this little shop for a relaxed and delightful afternoon with friends or family. Crafts on sale and beautiful dresses for hire to try on should you wish. Lovely having the little dogs there who are very friendly and enjoy having cuddles.

Cinderellas is located on the main High St in Shanklin. It is very small and serves coffee & tea and...

Our family visited one dreary afternoon and left with a smile! The lady running it was extremely friendly and had...

An excellent tearoom. Ideal for a light lunch. The welcome is always warm, and the food is of high quality...

This teashop is small and cosy. Worth a visit if you can get a seat. My aunt is 89 and...

We were lucky to find such a lovely coffee shop! My daughter adored the dogs and Toni let her give them some treats, she was so friendly.

A milestone birthday celebration was held at Cinderella's for a small party of friends, Toni & Sarah included.

Me and my family came here on our visit to Shanklin and it was absolutely fantastic!

Cenicienta es uno de nuestras vacaciones" siempre vamos a sitios "cada vez que visite la Isla de Wight.

Absolutely gorgeous cheese scone and ginger scone here at Cinderella's today, fabulous hospitality. A lovely find.

Wandering around Shanklin on our last day this little café positioned on a corner caught our attention. There were four tables squeezed in this tiny café, tables had pretty tablecloths and everything was served on an assortment of vintage china. There was a good choice of cakes - all homemade, my husband had a piece of lemon cake and I had fruit cake, which was very moist and tasty. I had green tea and my husband a large hot chocolate with all the trimmings which he thoroughly enjoyed. There was a little extra of a Cadburys chocolate button on the teaspoons, a novel idea and a lovely one! The shop also sells evening/prom/special event dresses with alterations if necessary. There is a mixture of craft items for sale and some vintage china as well. The owner is very friendly and obviously talented at crafting and baking. It would be easy to walk past but that would be a mistake.

A lovely small cafe in a dress shop. Nice snacks with a good choice of teas served on lovely mix and match crockery.The toasted teacakes are superb.

Lovely little place to have a coffee and scone. The owner is very welcoming as are the little dogs Florence and Talula . The position of the Tea Room could not be better as it is at the top of the street from the bus station, and half-way back to our hotel. We would highly recommend this establishment.

What a lovely little place. Small and would only take about 16 people but well worth the visit. They do other things, dresses and little pictures. Really nice an pleasant coffee good, with a selection of scones, cakes, don't expect a cooked meal.

A lovely place for afternoon tea, served with bone china teacups, saucers, plates etc. Homemade cakes are delicious. A small tea room, but very nice.

Love the quirkiness of this shop. Lots of craft items to see. Great value for money. Great cream teas and lovely cakes

This is one of the nicest tea rooms l have ever been in the atmosphere is terrific and her 2 little dogs delightful Tula sat on my knee and l didn't want to leave her Florence was looking for food so of course l shared my tea cake l would really recommend this tea room to everyone even if your not dogs lovers the dogs will know and leave you alone but the beautiful atmosphere and feeling that time is no problem is well worth a visit

What a fun place to visit! We had a ball (pun intended -sorry!) or at least I did. My husband patiently sipped his tea while I had a ball looking around at the items on offer. We stopped for the advertised homemade soups and were not disappointed; the soups were excellent. However, there was so much more to the shop. The small tea room was full of quaint touches that I found delightful. I especially liked the Alice in Wonderland mannequin at the entrance, complete with the Mad Hatter's hat and the Queen of Hearts cards that adorned the frothy skirt of the dress. The sale or hire dresses were lovely and would be such fun to wear. The little girls' dresses would delight any child who loves to "play princesses" such as Cinderella or Elsa. Visit Cinderella's Tea Room, you won't be disappointed!

Fab place for a drink whilst the Husband is drinking coffee you can go and try on dresses for special occasions especially proms! The lady could not help us enough!

We can't believe we have never been here before!We saw this cafe mentioned in the latest copy of This England and as we were going to shop in Shanklin thought we would pay it a visit - great decision.An old fashioned type of tea room with lovely 'back to basic' sandwiches, bagels, scones and marvellous home baked cake selections plus tea served in china cups. (Don't worry coffee lovers are well catered for as well).The two lady owners are friendly and the service they provide is excellent.On a horrible day weather wise ( raining with heavy downpours) Cinderellas was like an oasis in the desert. Mind space is limited with seating for only twelve persons on 5 tables but well worth the effort for a visit if you yearn for a tea room with traditional style.We will definitely be back.

Cinderellas is a beautifully laid out cafe in the heart of shanklin town. Sarah and Toni made us feel more like old freinds there for a visit than new customers. Great home made food with locally sourced condiments (try the ginger scones with rhubarb jam) and the home made soup of the day is also highly recomended to set you up for the rest of your day. You can enjoy & buy the crafts and watch Sarah make them too! This is a "must see" cafe if you love drinking tea from fine bone china and enjoying good home baking. If you are looking for that "perfect ball gown" for a prom or black tie event, look no further than cinderellas and enjoy the warm welcome and incredible food whilst there.

We visited last year and I had to go back, only a small place but so 'well formed'. Served by a lovely lady it is tea and scones, cakes etc. You have to try the scones and jam all homemade, my favourite are the ginger scones, jam and Roddas cream, absolute bliss. You can also buy the jam and I was offered scones to take away too, if only I wasn't travelling by train with luggage, but a jar of jam was fitted in. The cakes look delicious and my partner says they were too. They also do dresses obviously!!

sarah and toni are lovely ladies who are very helpful their own made crafts are wonderful they also hire or sell wonderful evening dresses.lovely cream teas but my favourite is their cinnamon toast

Service - Friendliness: great, the lady or owner I think, lovely to talk to, also met both her gorgeous little dogs, so friendly, Florence and Talula.Service - Speed/Attentiveness: wonderful personal service, quick and you want for nothing.....Food - First Visual Impression: beautiful, takes you back in time to having a lovely pot of tea served in bone china tea cups, saucers, pot, a real treat..Food - Taste and Quality: lovely warm fruit scones with jam and clotted cream, see my pic. Tea was really good, can't fault it.....Environment/Cleanliness: wonderful cosy little shop with a few tables surrounded by different chairs felt very comfy and relaxed.Value: cream tea for 3 of us, less than £12, an absolute bargain for lovely fresh scones......Other (wifi, Parking etc): parking at St Johns Road, £2 for 2 hours, free from 6pm. Did not need wifi as I had a signal on my EE network..Overall Summary: A real treat, takes you back in time to a classic British tradition of cream teas, I highly recommend going here you will not be disappointed....

We were looking for somewhere to have tea and cake after having just arrived in Shanklin for the weekend. I spotted the ballgowns first and then saw the chairs and tables. It all looked very quaint, so we had a look at the menu. It looked reasonably priced so in we went! We opted for the cream tea each - large fruit scone, little pot of clotted cream each, butter and jam with a pot of tea. It was lovely! What impressed me more was that there was a choice of jam. I can't eat strawberry, which is the traditional offering, so often end up not bothering, but here, I could choose from a selection, which was great. Sometimes, it's the little things like this that make it much better. It was all presented with old fashioned china and the whole tea shop is quite 'retro' and quirky, which I liked. The ballgowns hanging up on the ballgowns side are also fabulous!! The lady was lovely. We were the only ones in there as it was quite late in the afternoon, but we enjoyed our cream tea in peace, though she was on hand if we needed anything. I felt it was also priced very reasonably in comparison to some other places. A lovely experience which I'm sure we'd repeat when next in the area.

Me and my friend popped in here and had the loveliest experience, with tea served in cups and saucers and a lovely selection of nibbles, including homemade ginger scones and crumpets with jam and butter, it was heart warming. The owners were kind and friendly and they have a stunning collection of gowns which we had a browse of as well as a knitting club happening. Although small it felt more intimate than crowded.It was warm, friendly and visually pleasing, I highly recommend a visit :0)

Found this place by accident one cold Saturday afternoon, every other venue appeared to be shut so decided to try this, very glad we did, it was quirky, fun and the lady who served us was very friendly and helpful. The place had been very busy that day and most things were sold out but the cake and tea we had was lovely. Would recommend as somewhere a bit out of the ordinary and fun!

Friendly little tea room on the main street in Shanklin .The fresh scones & jam were tasty , the tea was freshly brewed & the owner gave us plenty of advice on local pubs etc.Her little dogs are also cute & add a little fun to tea time.

Wonderful little tea room with exceptional service and gorgeous food/drinks. Just go don't bother reading any other reviews!

We happened upon this Tea Room by accident & were so pleased we did. The lady owner was so friendly and the variety of scones & jams were fabulous. If ever we are in Shanklin again we will definitely go back
