Welcome to The Tea House By Bread Ahead

“ Food was delicious, portion was good with two scones, four sandwiches and three pieces of cakes/tarts for each person. They also let you choose more than one type of tea so we picked several to try. Overall it’s better than expected, scones were buttery, other items were also nice. The tea house itself is pretty small though with a side staircase entry through the bakery downstairs. We were able to get a table several days ahead. ”

“ Our delightful afternoon tea at the Tea House from Bread Ahead was a true pleasure. The welcoming sparkling tea set a positive tone, and the bridge rolls were a delicious start. Every sweet and scone was meticulously prepared, with a special mention for the outstanding scones. However, what truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service from Lily. Her friendliness, attentiveness, and cheerful demeanor, complemented by a beautiful smile, made our time there extra enjoyable. The female chef (sorry we didn’t get your name) also contributed to the overall charm with lovely creations. It's moments like these that turn a tea outing into a memorable and delightful experience. ”

“ Delicious afternoon tea! I came here on a Sunday with friends and had a wonderful experience. The food (and tea selection!) were amazing. My favourite were the scones that were served warm and fresh. Whilst the downstairs section is busy, the upstairs tea house was a completely different, relaxing atmosphere. The staff, both Lisa and Lilliana were exceptionally attentive and even provided me a box to take home the last few treats I couldn’t finish! 10/10 recommend. ”

“ What an amazing experience! Decided to give afternoon tea a shot during our London trip and I can totally recommend this place. Right above a busy bakery, this is a peaceful and quiet space with a very pleasant atmosphere. All the food we got was delicious and the staff were great as well. Plus, in the context of other afternoon tea places in London, the price is totally fair. Really happy with our visit and would come again during a next trip, as they also seem to change up the menu based on the season. ”

“ Had the most wonderful afternoon tea at Bread Ahead in Chelsea! It was the launch day and we were treated to delicious home made delicatessen: not your usual sandwiches but beautiful brioches with tasty fillings and the most amazing cakes! The presentation and service was impeccable and, cherry on the cake (excuse the pan) was the gorgeous Debbie Wingham's life-size cake in the shape of a stunning lady draped in flowers, to celebrate the event and the Chelsea Flower Show. Simply spectacular! ”

The ambiance is cozy, with lovely colors and an open kitchen that adds a special touch to the atmosphere. The food was handmade, and the quality was evident in every bite.
