Akwaaba Tea Salon & Event Space

The service, atmosphere, and food were amazing! As a lover of afternoon tea, the food was wonderful and full of flavor. Great assortment of tea. I enjoyed the vegetarian options as well. If you can, absolutely eat here!

Awesome example celebrating my Auntie's 90th Bithday. Staff was pleasant, tea, food and desserts was delicious. Thanks for an awesome experience!!

I loved everything about my experience here. The staff was very friendly and professional. The tea selection was exquisite and the food was very tasty and more filling than I expected from a "High Tea" event. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing for fun conversations. I shared this experience with two of my daughters. It was so worth it!!

The space on the main floor was intimate. There were about 15 or 16 of us, it was very easy to see everyone and to communicate. We looked fabulous with our tea hats and gloves. The teas were amazingly delicious! What made my tea delicious was the infusion of different tea leaves. My tea was Afropunk. I didn't use sugar to experience the flavor. The food was delicious, I experienced flavors that my taste buds still remember and is calling for more. I think this would be an excellent place for a Daddy - daughter date, mother and son date or a romantic date as jazz softly played in the background creating a relaxing atmosphere. Once you cross the threshold it seems as though you enter a different era!! The staff was on point and in tune with their guests. I loved it. I recommend this place for a different experience!

My first time experiencing Akwaaba Tea Salon since it opened in June. I met the owner, Monique Greenwood, a former Essence magazine editor when my daughter and I celebrated her milestone birthday in 2022 at Monique's other property, the Mansion at Nobles Lane near the Poconos. In 2022, Monique mentioned she planned to open an afternoon tea salon. What a wonderful pastime experience, Afternoon tea! My sister, daughter, and I selected the Lancaster High Tea option, which provided three different teas, soup salad, and delectable Tea sandwiches and desserts. Monique and her staff worked magic, accommodating a large group and several small tables. What I relished about this elegant pastime: Akwaaka branded tea service/table setting Ladies wearing fascinators and gloves Beautiful older home repurposed for Afternoon Tea Salon and event space for rental Plenty of photo opportunities inside and outside the salon Upright piano for live music but today we listened to classic John Coltrane The delectable treats Feeling fancy

I went to Akwaaba on Sunday and had a great time! The service and atmosphere was exceptional. I loved the decor, very cute! The staff was very attentive and focused on making sure we had a pleasurable experience. The food was super tasty. The soup and salad were fresh and flavorful! I wish I had the recipe lol The appetizers and desserts hit the spot too! The portions were just right and I left quite full. There was nothing I ate that I did not like. 10s across the board. The only suggestion I’d make is for the tea selection to be larger. Definitely check out Akwaaba’s Tea Salon. You won’t be disappointed!
