17 Berkshire

Totally overpriced for what you get. The tea is average and it comes only one pot per two people and the food was very average. The only thing I liked was the pumpkin scones and cucumber deli sandwiches. Went this past Sunday and had to wait 25ish minutes before we were actually served and was not checked on the entire time. No water refills were offered. Please don’t waste your money on this.

Totally disenchanted with this place. It is not only quality of the product. It is cleanliness, friendliness and service. very bad attitude from the girl at the cash register.

I really enjoyed a tea ceremony with some delicious macaroons

So I had been coming quite often and it was high priced but decent. But the prices continue to go up and it’s now overpriced. When you pay this kind of money for a cake you expect it to be freshly made but it tasted like it was days old or maybe box made now? I’m not sure and when you try to speak to the owner she refuses. I’m not sure if the employee even was telling the truth. I believe the owner seems preoccupied with other things and has neglected the business recently as it used to be much better.

The afternoon tea was very good. A pot of Heavenly Cream tea which paired well with milk & sweetener or honey. Two sandwiches & a mini bagel w/herb cream cheese; two scones w/brown butter; four sweets--lavender macaroni, cream puff, cup cake and petit four.

Showed up a few minutes before 7 pm to grab something but was told by the employees the business was closed. Disappointing

I was invited to a friends birthday party where they served 17 Berkshire Macaroon Birthday cake. That cake, I thought, was the worst cake I have ever tried. That was until my friend contacted the owner and spoke with her about how disappointed she was with the Macaroon Birthday cake. It tasted artificial, there was no flavor to the cake and the icing was horrible. Now the owner did offer to make her another cake. So my friend said yes, she’s always willing to give someone a second chance. Well the chocolate cake was, again, terrible. The chocolate icing was like water and so very bitter. There was no note on the second cake apologizing for the terrible first cake nor did the Owner come to the counter to speak with my friend. Save your money, these cakes are definitely not even worth the price they charge.
