Customer Reviews:
“There’s nothing better than a High Tea with friends if it’s done right. Elixir did just that. They have several rooms with various themes from which to sit, transporting your experience into a fanciful world. The finger foods were delicious and tastefully presented. There are over 80 varieties of tea from which to choose. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and this was the perfect venue to do it.” – Frances G.
“I sponsored a baby shower for my granddaughter for a dozen young women. Elixir went above and beyond in setting up a very girlie (baby girl) table resplendent with pink china, napkins, etc. Yummy, assorted Finger sandwiches, assorted pastries, including scones, jellies and champagne and non-alcoholic. Very private, cozy, comfy and like at your own home…only better. highly recommend.” – Victoria K.
“Such a cute tea house in central Sarasota. It’s right off Tamiami and is a nice place to have a sip of tea and relax. All the rooms are themed, and the food and drinks are delicious. The owners are so nice as well. The gentleman that helps run the place, worked with me to find a drink that I would like, and he offered my friend and I a dessert taster as we were nearing the end of the night. Definitely stop by and give this local tea house some love! The boba, mango and friends, and Marleka dessert are fantastic!” – Cindy D.
Native Sarasotan here… until recently, I had no idea this little gem was nestled mid-block on Hillview Avenue. A great experience if you are looking to slow down and savor a good cup of tea or light bites. The private booths/rooms are perfect for client meetings (or other times when you wish to avoid prying ears/eyes.) Attentive & knowledgeable wait staff – frankly, the tea selection is a bit overwhelming for a novice like me, but they make it easy for you. Will put this on the “business meeting rotation” going forward in lieu of the well-known chain coffee shops. Strongly recommend.” – Jay C.
