This place was a beautiful little piece of heaven. It was nestled away in the “jungle” the teas were so tasty and the desserts were even better, the warm rum sauce melts in your mouth. They had mango trees all around and an amazing open air area to sit. They had a sugar plantation on sight that you could go into and walk to the top and see everything. They used real china and the menus were adorable wooden books. The bathrooms were so clean and they used real towels (sounds simple, but it’s that extra touch). I would definitely go back!

We recently returned from a trip to Antigua, and as a person who often frequents tea rooms, I was excited to try this place. The environment is absolutely beautiful, but the food just didn't wow me. We ordered the Cream Tea Special. The tea sandwiches and scones were good, but the cake was dry and flavorless. My husband and I both left half of our cake on the plate. The lemon-ginger tea was also disappointing and tasted more like warmed lemonade. The ginger flavor was lacking. Our server was sweet, as were the women behind the counter. If I visited again, I would probably try something else.

A beautiful spot, surrounded by jungle, serving a range of teas and some good coffee. Light lunches and cakes were really really good. The service was really patchy though, we waited far too long for our food. But they were so nice, it all sort of balanced up. Highly recommended.

Beautiful little spot to enjoy a nice airy afternoon tea! I made reservations ahead of time through email. At arrival we were kindly greeted and my name was reserved on the table. Everything tasted great. Service was fast and friendly! Definitely enjoyed it!

The two women working there were so delightful. The server was super friendly and kind and did her job really well. I had toast, beans and eggs and it was the most expensive meal after 3 weeks here. I think the beans were canned. So go for a tea and a tarte, enjoy the views, but pass on the lunch.

What a beautiful find from a tourism magazine ! We enjoyed our drive through the rainforest and then to find this lovely tea house ready to serve us afternoon tea. We recommend the sticky toffee gingerbread cake … it was delicious!! I had the Lady Grey tea for the first time …so smooth and lovely. The perfect lunch on a hot day.

We had a lovely experience at the Vintage Tea House. It is set on an old sugar mill and the surroundings are beautiful and well maintained. After having a wander up to the top of the mill we had some tea, cake and bread and butter pudding which was all delicious. There was lots of lovely touches and we found the place charming. The service was also great. Will definitely return on our next trip!

Such an incredible place!!! My boyfriend and I had tea and cake here back in June when we visited Antigua, and it was an amazing experience. The baker and her daughter (the waitress) were so so lovely and really made us feel at home!! The tea is divine and the scones and cakes were absolutely delicious!!! On the pricier side for the island but with the views and experience it is 100% worth it!!! Make sure to get the mango jam it is DELICIOUS. Thank you again
