Collectibili Tea, Albuquerque, NM

Visited: May, 2008.  Meal: Private adults party.  Type of tea: Loose leaf.  Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent.  Service: Excellent.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: I have been to 1 Afternoon Lunch Tea for Two and 2 private Afternoon Tea Parties and all 3 far exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and served with gracious style. The teas were not just ordinary Tea Room fare, but wonderful blends each suited to the foods that were being served and the season. “All scones are not created equal“ and Terri’s secret recipe for her home-made scones served with homemade jam and real clotted cream are the best I have had in any tea room either in Albuquerque or in a number of other cities. The prices are excellent, for an Afternoon Tea Party it was $14.50 each including gratuity. Don’t miss a chance for a truly beautiful Tea Room experience.

The St. James Tearoom, Albuquerque, NM

Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent.  Service: Excellent.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: I have been going to the St. James ever since they opened. The attention to detail is amazing and unmatched in Albuquerque at any restaurant. In fact, I have a feeling I have been forever spoiled for any other tea room experience anywhere. So far, no one else has been able to match them. If you haven't been--go. You will not be sorry.

Comments: TOO EXPENSIVE at $25 per person. Chef could be paid less so that more middle class people could go to this tea room. This is a RICH people's tearoom. Suggestion has been made to owners but they won't go for an ala carte or "small tea" which would accommodate middle class people.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments: I visited the tearoom with my husband. The food was absolutely fabulous. The sweets, savories and scones are the best I have ever tasted. The tea and service were wonderful. The atmosphere is English Victorian. We loved it and cannot wait to return. We plan to visit at least once each month. I highly recommend the St. James Tearoom.

Comments: My best friend and I were visiting Albuquerque for business and we were pleasantly surprised to be able to enjoy a supper tea at St. James. We've visited many tea rooms and this is our favorite. The food is wonderful, service excellent and the tea is the best. A must try is Picasso's Soiree. Be sure to make this a priority when you are in Albuquerque!!

Comments: This was my first time to a tea room and it was grand. We had approximately seventeen of us ladies there from church to reveal our secret sisters after summer. The establishment had no trouble seating us within the same room. Some settings were for two or four, and a gorgeous dining table for others. There were screens and china cabinets and small tables with Victorian furniture. It was absolutely beautiful. The food was heavenly and plentiful. We were served three teas in pots one at a time and refills on the ones we liked. I left feeling beautiful. After two years I still get my tea there and now live in Tucson, Arizona. I recommend the Picasso and caramel creme. I now serve myself tea with all the trimmings almost daily. Have fun. A must see!

Comments: The St. James Tea Room was my first experience and it has left me wanting more. This tea room offers semi-private dining areas that are decorated with period pieces and sweet trinkets. The food arrived in a timely manner with the most delicious look and taste. We were unable to finish our afternoon tea treats because of our enjoyable conversation. The attendant politely boxed everything up for us with an extra surprise. I attended the tea room with my aunt. We had the most enjoyable time discussing everything under the sun. I will always cherish those memories and I encourage everyone to experience the St. James Tea Room.
