  • Adapté aux occasions spéciales

  • Parfait pour le brunch
Whether you come cute with your girls, make it a date with your mate, visit as a mommy-daughter duo or take time just for you, Akwaaba Tea Salon & Event Space offers 90 minutes of pure indulgence in a sophisticated sanctuary. Here’s where you can take a breath while you take a sip of fine, loose-leaf teas and experience a cultural spin on traditional English High Tea fare. Think deviled eggs with a chunk of Southern-fried chicken instead of egg salad finger sandwiches. And homemade peach cobbler and banana pudding upstage macaroons every time! Oh, and did we mention the live jazz music at our 1 pm Sunday seating?!

Akwaaba Tea Salon and Event Space is the latest hospitality experience from Monique Greenwood, the former Essence magazine editor-in-chief who took the lodging industry by storm with the 1995 launch of her award-winning Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns, one of which is in Philadelphia, right down the street from the new tea salon and event space.

    Such a fun experience. The service was excellent and full of southern charm. The soup and salad were my favorite part of the meal. Followed by the tea - my mom even asked if she could purchase it to take home. Soon, they said. :) The scone was served warm with a lemon curd and butter. Yum 😋

    Tea selection and food were fantastic! Really incorporated high tea culture well with Southern cuisine. Would love to come back. Often overlooked, but I really appreciated the cutlery, glasses and tea pot & mug.

    Absolutely unacceptable customer service. A true shame. I had a death in my family and gave 36 hours notice by phone AND message and did not receive a reply until I called a second time several days later and was told that it would not be possible as they had already prepared for me and my party of 6 downgraded to 5. If 36 hours notice is not sufficient, the food cannot be terribly fresh. My party also took the time and care to ask staff on the day of the reservation again if it would be possible to refund my ticket given the circumstances, and were told that staff would check. Staff did not bring my portion of food to the party (only 5 of everything), but never reported back on the refund to the party. Therefore, the food that was paid for was not received. It would have been quite acceptable if they had merely said, “We apologize but no refund can be honored, here is the food for which you have paid.” This did not happen and therefore it seems that even the staff members are unaware of their own policy. I truly understand that advance notice is needed but given that I spent time in my grief to attempt to notify the tearoom in advance and was still met with extreme rudeness on the phone from the owner is quite unbearable. It cast a pall on an otherwise lovely day for the special occasion for my friends and I cannot recommend them for these reasons.

    We're so sorry we weren't able to refund payment to this customer when the reservation was cancelled the day before tea time. We're open only by reservation, and as such, there's lots of preparation in advance of arrival. As our policy clearly states, cancellations can be made up to 48 hours in advance with full refund. I'm happy we were able to spoil the rest of the guests in this party. Upon request, we could have even boxed up the unused serving for maybe one of the friends to deliver to this customer. It would have also been perfectly fine for another friend to take the customer's place. We clearly didn't mean to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth. Truly sorry this didn't work out.

    I took my daughter for the experience with the anticipation that the food would be delicious, the service would be top-notch, and the hostesses would be gracious . . . and they did not disappoint! I mistakenly did not give dietary restrictions on Open Table when I made the reservations. I’m vegan but cheat and eat dairy. My daughter’s pescatarian and is allergic to dairy. Imagine having to make those adjustments on the fly. They did and did it graciously. The hostess relayed the message to the chef and the selections were next level. We left the Akwaaba Tea Salon wanted more and can't wait to return. Thank you, Monique Greenwood for bringing such elegance to the West Philadelphia community. Joyfully, Gail & Ariyon Fountaine

    It was an amazing experience! From the food, staff, and ambiance! The only thing that i will criticize about is the booking process. Not allowing me to book a big party. I had to separate my transactions three times. When we arrived at the venue, no one else was there . We were booked alone. So I was really confused.

    Thanks for leaving us a review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience and grateful you let us know about your difficulty booking for a large party. As a new business, we are still figuring out all the nuances of the OpenTable platform, but we're happy to report we discovered how to change our settings to allow for larger party reservations! Looking forward to seeing you and the girls in the future!

    My experience wasn’t what I would’ve hoped for. The seating I made a reservation for was overbooked. We were seated by the door - and were told that this was the first time that they had to place a table near the door due to the number of bookings. It felt off. Our server tried her best, but she just couldn’t be as attentive as she should’ve been given the number of tables she was handling. We waited for over an hour between receiving our scones and our soup and salad. The soup and salad was an upgrade to the regular tea service - it wasn’t worth the additional cost. The savory selections and the tea were both standouts. I really enjoyed the deviled egg - yum. However, the sweet selections were just average. From what I’ve read, there is usually a pianist playing. Would’ve love to have had the opportunity to hear live music. Overall, the experience didn’t feel like a decadent luxury or an escape. Perhaps, it was just an off-day. I will return for a second visit at some point because I do want to support this new establishment. I want this new endeavor to win. Growing pains aside, the other patrons looked so lovely dressed up for tea.

    Thank you for joining us for afternoon tea. We're grateful you want to see us win and took the time to point out what you loved as well as the ways we can improve. It has been 7 weeks, and, yes, there will be growing pains, especially when we grew to full capacity on the day you visited. We appreciate that you plan to visit again--we're determined to get 5 stars from you, like so many others have rated us. :)

    We had such a fabulous time! The deviled egg was heavenly and the service was spectacular. We also loved the lemon tart and the mini pound cake. We will definitely visit again.
