This is such a fun place to go for a special event. I took a bunch of ladies from our church here for an activity for our small group. We had the largest room, the back Christmas room (not sure what it is in non-holiday time) and it was decorated beautifully. I think I was super surprised (as were the other ladies) that the high tea had such exquisite sandwiches and desserts, all beautifully displayed. I am not a fan of tea so I ordered a Coke, but the other ladies all raved about the tea, even the one that lived in London. Suzy (sp?) who is the owner is delightful and sweet. She attended to everyone's need with a smile on her face. I loved it so much that I am booking another reservation for this month. Hands down the cutest, little tea place with excellent food in Sarasota.

Four of us went for afternoon tea yesterday, and had a wonderful experience. The decor was beautiful with great attention to detail. They have little alcoves where you can sit or some tables upfront in the main area. It is very quaint. The service was absolutely outstanding. The food is excellent and we loved that we could each have our own choice from the 80 different teas offered, served in beautiful china teapots. I highly recommend you stop by this lovely café.

Beautiful salt rock wall, wonderful ambiance. Very busy, short staffed as many places are so unfortunately we did not have a chance to try dessert but the teas were wonderful. We also enjoyed the humus, antipasto, and meat plates. Delicious!

I was visiting my hometown for a week and was very glad to find this gem while working remotely during the day. Over the week, I visited during the morning, over lunch, and in the late afternoon/early evening. Each time, staff was welcoming and attentive. The private tea rooms are so comfortable and have great ambiance. Food is pricier but I honestly didn't mind it whatsoever considering it's probably necessary to offset the lower price of tea. And when I did get food, it was always tasty and generously portioned. I loved this place enough to wish I still lived in Sarasota!

Elixir tea house is simply put, superb. From the atmosphere, vast selection of teas, service, and the different themed rooms (all extremely charming, intriguing, intricate, & welcoming in their own way). It feels like a home away from home because it’s private, possesses a calm yet electric environment, & it doesn’t feel like they want you just to purchase a drink and leave.
The staff are all really kind, sweet, & attentive but not in an overbearing American way. They all have so much charm, flair, and style that it’s hard not to keep coming back.
Whether you want to listen in on a poetry reading, read, or get away to shift from being to becoming, Elixir is the magical place to do so. It’s truly immaculate 💛.

Ok so….
This place is absolutely wonderful! I spent about 4 hours here working on an art project! The seating is so comfortable and the overall aesthetic of the place is exquisite. They have a handful of private rooms, no reservation needed. As far as the products go:
1. The hot and cold teas are delicious! I enjoy mine hot, but they all have a brilliant and rich flavor. The pricing is reasonable.
2. The mini cakes are OUTSTANDING. It is the perfect pairing for a hot tea.
3. The bubble tea is bad :( I’m not sure if they know that tapioca pearls go bad after four hours. The four stars is for that. I would recommend going with the popping pearls if you are interested in the bubble tea here. Funky Fresh Boba in Nokomis is the best!
This establishment is top tier! I highly recommend paying a visit. For real, go check it out! And they are open until 10! Its a great place to study, hang with friends, or go on a date.

Had a great experience here celebrating with my friends! We were all so impressed with the set up of our high tea. The food and tea tasted great, and we all agreed this was a great value for the price. Will be coming back and would highly recommend!!
