Recently treated ourselves to their Afternoon Tea for our anniversary. You call a day in advance and when you get there you are treated to a specially set table for your party. They have a nice selection of teas to choose from and the platter they bring out has many different sweets and little sandwiches. For two pretty big guys we left feeling full and satisfied. They have many British specialities that are harder to find around town. I have had their cottage pie and curried chicken sandwich for lunch and both were wonderful.
Like so many others here, I heard about threw macaroons and had to get them. But everything else was delightful - the atmosphere is relaxing, the pastries are perfectly flakey, and everyone agrees that the Macaroons are AMAZING! I'll definitely have to visit again!
I love this place! I was wanting to try fresh macarons, and this was one of the places listed. We came and found a treasure trove of tasty things! The macarons, of course, are fantastic-- I recommend the vanilla, lavender, and the fig and goat cheese flavors. The cottage pie is incredible!
The food is amazing but the attitude of some of the employees turns a great experience into a bad one. Breakfast pizza is really great and I love pistachio macaroons.
I assumed it was just the attitude of some employees and should not reflect the owner but after looking at the reviews and seeing the owners responses to people I can see it is an attitude problem going all the way up the line.
This place has macarons to die for. Their lemon slice is the best cake I've ever had. They make their own jam and if you're really wanting a great experience, schedule an afternoon tea with them for you and your friends. They bring you a choice of teas served in China on beautiful table linens. Then they treat you to an assortment of sandwiches , sweet and savory treats and a delicious scone with their house made jam. You'll feel so decadent.
I get my daughter's birthday cake here every year. The owner sits down with her and talks about what she wants and what I need and always comes up with something everyone is impressed with. This is also an excellent place for tea at any time and close to the farmers market and other neat shops that just add to the experience. The people here are friendly and attentive, the food is made from scratch and delicious, and the atmosphere is quaint and comfortable.
We stopped by after some games of tennis for a quick brunch. The place was packed but everyone was very warm and welcoming upon entering the bakery/restaurant. As recommended by a good friend, I ordered their English breakfast pizza which they serve freshly baked and is not your typical pizza! Indeed, I was very pleased with it. I'll definitely be back to try more of their foods!
Authentic, Lovely High Tea!
I attended the Mother's Day High tea and it was absolutely wonderful We had the Buckingham Palace Garden tea, and it was wonderful. The scones were delicious, and the dessert and sandwiches were amazing. Everything was fresh and served promptly. The owners were delightful people and gave us excellent advice on visiting London! I am so glad I found this place, I've been missing attending a real high tea ever since I visited Scotland. I definitely recommend Clock Tower Bakery & Cafe for any special occasion!
I like the atmosphere and selection this place has. The macaroons were amazing and there was a great selection. They were also beautiful to look at. I ordered a cake for my company and the raspberry buttercream was delicious. The decorations were also great for not giving them much to go off for ideas. The only thing I was disappointed in was the cake was dry instead of a moist that I was expecting. Other than that, it was a good cake. I will probably come back for more desserts, but I'm hoping the next time I order a cake it will be less dry so that I can make this place a permanent go-to for cakes.
This is a wonderful inn located a couple of blocks from downtown Bellevue. For a downtown hotel, this inn offers wonderful amenities - esp. free parking, free breakfast and free wifi. The rooms were spacious and clean with working & controllable heaters. There were Aveda toiletries in the bathrooms. Our room had 2 washbasins - one in the bathroom and...
The woman working the register was extremely helpful & forthcoming with all of the information on their cakes & other desserts. HIGHLY recommend this place!
Really enjoy the clock tower bakery! Being a transplanted Brit I was excited to hear of the bakery. Enjoyed everything I've had there. Sausage rolls, pasties and steak bakes are just as good as back in England. Went to the Christmas high tea there and had a great time. Staff is very friendly and timely! Definitely worth a visit.
Clock Tower Bakery is a great find in old OP. Everything that I have tried has been delicious! My favorite items are the orange rolls and the steak bakes. We also went this past weekend to the Christmas afternoon tea. Everything was outstanding, from the finger sandwiches to the pastries to (my favorite) the scones with clotted cream and jam. The owners are personable and really take pride in their product. Definitely go pay them a visit!
