Best High Teas in Ipoh

Patisserie Boutique has very instagrammable desserts that will surely make your followers wish they could taste through the phone screen. The cafe is small but that has never stopped patrons from letting themselves in. The cakes are very well loved here and the best ones are usually sold out everyday! The team also bakes 'specials' randomly, such as the highly requested and loved mille feuille. Besides that, expect mango cheesecake, matcha lava cake, trifles, fruit tarts, tiramisus, lemon meringue, scones - the temptation goes on and on. 

Owned by Sabah Tea Sdn Bhd, STG Tea House Cafe is specialized in their tea from... yes, you guessed it - Sabah. The tea house has a beautiful ambiance with outdoor seating available. Food is nothing to be overly of a hoo-ha but the cafe is ultimately known for its colonial rooftop itself. With sufficient selection of pastries, cakes and desserts, you'll be able to pick your options a la carte if you don't wish to order the Afternoon Tea Set.

For RM 60++, WEIL's Afternoon Hi-Tea set for 2 is available at the hotel's Tea Lounge. Served in a three-tier stand, you'll experience a traditional English tea with delicate finger-sandwiches, dainty and delicious pastries including scones with clotted cream and jam, without forgetting your essential Tea. Located at the lobby of the hotel, the Tea Lounge is invitingly dangerous for a pamper session. Luckily, prices are reasonable so why not? Call 05-2082228 to make your reservations now!

Don't let the name of the restaurant intimidate you. While The Limestone is a 'fine dining restaurant', prices are actually very affordable. With its signature contemporary French cuisine, the restaurant also serves American breakfasts, some Italian, some Spanish and vegetarian dishes. The Limestone has been acclaimed to have excellent service, palatable food and reasonable prices. On Sundays, their special Brunch sets come in three beautiful tiers of little treats depending on which set you order. The Sunday Brunch sets include small substantial delights in the likes of lamb pie, quiche, turkey ham potato muffin, salmon carpaccio, foie gras, cheese gipfel, scones with mushrooms (yes, you read that right) and a platter of assorted desserts such as little cakes and tarts. Not a fan of hi-tea? Not an issue here. Just try their equally incredible a la carte dishes!

Adopting an alfresco concept, The Secret Garden is many's host choice for special private functions such as garden weddings, birthday parties, baby showers and even corporate dinners. The setting is sleek with an English touch to the theme such as the elegant decor, artwork and lamps to light up the space. Therefore, ambience is great for a relaxing tea time session with your girlfriends (and boyfriends). We must warn you that the kitchen food and coffee have been criticized in the recent years but the team has taken feedback into their account and have since improved in service and food. 

At Potpourri, it's a common sight to find the availability of zero tables. That's right. Inside, the space of the cafe is rather small and is more ideal for smaller groups. On top of that, Potpourri has earned itself a reputation for being a... well, tea house. Desserts including tiramisu, cheesecake, macarons and ice cream are a big hit here. Nevertheless, main courses have also been praised and thus, enabling the cafe to have a flow of customers through the day and not just during tea time.
