I booked this afternoon tea to take my daughter out for a treat. When we arrived it was so busy and our table was not ready. When we were taken to our table it was not ready and mistook us for a table of 6 even though there was just us two standing there. We waited again and finally got to our table late. We got our tea and cakes and left to our own devices. We did not speak to anyone again and I had to flag down our server to get me a box and tell her we were done. She brought the box and I expected to get the bill at that time. We waited for 30 more mins and still did not see her so I got up to ask another server if I could pay, she said she would get our server. She didn’t come and then 1...
We love afternoon tea and Alforno has a lovely one at a reasonable price! Lots of tasty bits with a good variety of flavours and textures. We only wished that the tea selection was better. Besides that, service was good (we didn’t expect much because it was a busy afternoon there), and the room was bright and airy. Not a traditional tea house, but we appreciated the fact that we were seated in the back corner under the skylight!
When you receive the the email of the confirmation of your reservation you get access to the menu, but it doesn’t match the actual menu in the cafe which is much more limited. Also, the servers are not very professional, unsure of themselves they don’t always know what is available. But the overall impression of the place is pleasant, you just have to know what to expect.
I really enjoyed my time here for afternoon tea. I was really impressed by the sandwiches. I normally don’t like croissants but it was delicious really buttery and fluffy.i also really liked the tea! I got the Rooibos and it had a slight vanilla taste didn’t need to add any cream or sugar and enjoyed as is.

The food was excellent! Nice selections and variety- all the classics for afternoon tea and more. The portions were generous and the presentation was lovely. The eclectic China dishes are beautiful. Sadly, the experience lacks ambiance. Despite this, it is an excellent value and I’d recommend!
This was a wonderful meal, pasta was very fresh and tasty. We came in for a rather early meal and it was quiet but everything meal wise was perfect I just missed the amibiance of a louder cafe, hopefully the pandemic brings people back in droves
Amazing experience from the place setting to the food to the service. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone
The food was delicious with generous servings. The staff was very nice.

It’s was boiling hot inside and the food did not taste as well. Real
A nice looking spot. Food was average at best and served lukewarm.
