Emma's Tea Spot
5500 Harford Rd, Baltimore, MD
Crema's Take
“Emma's Tea Spot is a thoughtfully curated haven for tea lovers in Baltimore, where the owner Emma's genuine warmth sets the tone for an unhurried, welcoming experience that goes beyond the typical café visit. The menu showcases an impressive range of specialty teas like lavender peppermint and orange blossom alongside matcha and creative drink combinations, all paired with quality breakfast, lunch, and dessert options that make it equally suited for a solo afternoon or intimate celebration. What really distinguishes this spot is how the staff and owner prioritize making guests feel cared for—whether you're enjoying a quiet moment with wifi or marking a special occasion with high tea—creating an atmosphere where you'll want to return again and again.”

I really enjoyed my time here! The menu’s quite extensive with lots to mix and match. I liked that there was a little of everything from desserts to breakfast and lunch options.
Was given the Queens Bee Tea guft certificate as a Christmas gift. My husband and I went there and it was a lovely. We had the lavender peppermint tea and the orange blossom tea both delicious! Started with one of the best tomato soups we had ever had! Next was our sandwiches. We had one with cheese and tomato and one white tuna with cucumber both were fanatastic. Scones were amazing so fresh!! We had some sweet treats and fruit. Gals working were super nice and friendly. Place was clean and cute trinkets and collectibles around restaurant. Highly recommend stopping in!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Emma’s Tea Spot. Emma, the owner, reached out to me right away after my inquiry and was incredibly kind and accommodating in helping me plan everything I was looking for. This was for a joint birthday party, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the tea, sandwiches, scones, desserts—and especially the quiches. They were eaten so quickly we didn’t even get a picture! The food was absolutely amazing, with every detail thoughtfully done, right down to the clotted cream and jams. Emma even delivered everything to my home, which made the experience completely stress-free. I will absolutely be a returning customer and highly recommend Emma’s Tea Spot for any special occasion (or just because!).
I brought my Mom to Emma’s for her birthday. I can happily say that the experience here was absolutely wonderful. The staff was so friendly and helpful in ways that others may not have been. We came for the High Tea and the selection of tea was wonderful and unique in their own way. Along with that, the sandwiches and scones were absolute perfection. It definitely brought my mother’s tea party together, exceeding expectations. We will definitely be coming back for the Queen Be tea next time!
Today we celebrated my cousin's birthday with high tea at Emma's Tea Shop. We had such a wonderful time. The service was great, the food was delicious and I'm already planning for the next time I can visit. Both the savory and sweet scones were tender and flavorful. There was a curated selection of teas, beautiful flatware and China in too many patterns to name. My cousin's tea cup had a stylish art deco design in emerald green. Next time I hope I get the clamp shell cup and saucer that looked fit for a mermaid princess. The atmosphere was so inviting-- we stayed for over 3 hours! Even the restrooms had whimsical decor. There's a huge comfy chair in the back that will make you feel like you're on a throne and you can borrow a hat if you forget yours. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!
