Shakespeare's Fine English Tea Room PERMANENTLY CLOSED

When my mom visits me in Palm Coast, Shakespeare's is the first place she likes to visit. Their high teas are wonderful with a wicked selection of pastries, cakes and finger sandwiches. The attached store is fun to browse, too.

I had High Tea with 9 other Red Hatters this afternoon. Service was excellent. The tea sandwiches, scones, petit fours, salad, fruit cup etc. was absolutely divine. Each of us had our own 3 tier serving tray with all these delicacies. None of us could finish everything. This is a treasure not to be missed.

I really like Shakespeare's for its calmness and touch of class. However, as of late, they are often out of most items on the menu. Yesterday I asked for quiche and they said it wouldn't be ready for another 40 minutes. Previously it was Shepherds Pie. To their credit, the salad I ordered as an alternative was excellent and came with many types of cheese. I just wish the availability of menu items was better.

From the first minute that we entered Shakespeare's, we knew we were onto a winner. The welcome by the staff and the lovely ambiance created by the decor and gift shop, filled with British goodies, persuaded us immediately that we had found a wonderful spot to have lunch. I am English born and bred and both my American husband and son have enjoyed the joys of true pots of English tea and scones over the years. Shakespeare not only does authentic English afternoon teas but serves a variety of other English delicacies, perfectly cooked. The staff also were very attentive of us and our baby granddaughter's needs.

Apart from the wonderful food and service, check out the shop. England has always been known for its production of fine quality items and Shakespeare's has an excellent inventory for customers to peruse.

Fun and very charming little place. For a change of pace it's worth checking out. Good service and refined foods and teas.

Shakespeare's is nicely located at the European Village. Inside is very elegant and sophisticated with discrete but friendly service. This is not a restaurant to visit for a meal but a place to sit and enjoy tea or coffee on fine china accompanied by finger sandwiches, scones with cream, petifors, etc. Go to escape a typical Florida afternoon.

My husband and I had lunch here and found it to be really delightful! The tables were set with china and fresh flowers on tablecloths which reminded me of English Tea Rooms we had visited in London. This is a VERY upscale place perfect for a birthday lunch or tea. We both had the Welsh Rarebit which was excellent- the tea came in a little pot and they have sparkling flavored water too. Our salad was crisp and fresh. The waitress was attentive and dressed in black with a little white apron.The best part of the meal were the "biscuits" about 5 or 6 little cookies and cakes each was a morsel of sweetness to die for!! Can't wait to try Shakespear's for Afternoon Tea...do go! I want this place to make it here, as it is a real gem!

I love this place! Sitting in here in the Euro Village is like a trip away. Service good and food is excellent with Britt flair! A touch of class indeed.
