   Actually, there was no issue with the food — it was perfectly fine. However, the service left something to be desired. The waitress was clearly very busy; I stood in front of her at the counter for about a minute without being acknowledged. I only wanted to ask for a menu, but when she finally noticed me, she simply said it was already on the table or I can grab one from the wall. I was sitting at an outdoor table, and there was no menu there at all. Also, the two scones included in our afternoon tea set were noticeably smaller — at least 30% smaller — than the two scones served to the table next to us who ordered them à la carte. It just didn’t feel right; I had assumed they would be the same size. At the end, when I asked for a takeaway box for the cakes we couldn't finish, the waitress handed it to me without a word — not even a simple “here you go.” It felt oddly cold, as if we had somehow offended her without knowing it. We came hoping to relax and enjoy the afternoon, but left feeling a bit confused and uncomfortable. Perhaps better service could attract more customers. That said, we did notice there was no service charge included.

   Really lovely, friendly little café that has the distinction of serving a selection of excellent loose-leaf teas - this is unusual nowadays, with so many places focusing on serving coffee rather than tea. The sandwiches are very good too. It's tucked away in a pretty, quiet street with rows of18th century houses, a few minutes away from the touristy bustle of central Greenwich. Well worth the slight detour.

   We really liked having breakfast at Royal Teas. We had fruit salad, salmon and eggs, avocado toast and huevos bravos. Everything delicious, good portions, fruit was fresh and really appreciated, juices as well really fresh and made at the moment; service was quick as well. We also bought some loose leaf earl grey tea, apple and lemon, and fennel. Can't wait to taste them at home. Very appreciated from my Italian parents that came to visit, they really appreciated that everything was fresh and the place was quite and welcoming. Definitely will be back to try the cakes, they have gluten free options as well.

   Our favourite local brunch spot. Amazing coffee, smoothies, breakfast bowls and eggs at very reasonable price! Worth the wait

   Just the most amazing afternoon tea experience! Everything was homemade and the afternoon tea menu was so filling! The owners were very friendly, and the café was so cute! It was only ~£11 for the ”cream tea“ menu, complete with tea/coffee, scone + jam + clotted cream, finger sandwiches, and cake. Also very vegan-friendly! The café was a bit out of the way, but it’s local and part of the charm. If you want a local tea experience (and not the tourist-oriented afternoon tea extravaganza), we highly recommend Royal Teas!

   Service was very good. Cozy place with more than reasonable prices. I particularly liked the large variety of cakes for such a small place. The tea was nice and in general the portions were generous for the price. The scones were just amazing! I'm definitely going back for more.
