I suggest trying the high tea at the Adolphus. It is more expensive, but everything was wonderful.

It was nice of you to take us along. I hope you visit other tea rooms for us.

This brought back some great memories. When I was young we visited family in Dallas, one of the highlights was when my aunts took my mom and I for lunch( maybe it was just afternoon coffee and sweets) at Neiman Marcus. While we ate there were models walking around the tables in beautiful clothes. It was so impressive for a youngster. It's nice to see they still provide some of this class. Thank you for this walk down memory lane.

The cream puff (also known as a profiterole) and the eclair are made with the same choux pastry, just piped differently onto the baking tray. Scones without cream should never happen. I watched a British documentary some time ago that featured historian Lucy Worsley. She said in the 1700 and 1800s when the rich could afford the best bone China, they always poured the tea into the cup first to show off their social status. Those who couldn’t afford the best bone China would pour the milk in the cup first as the hot tea would crack the cup if it was poured into the cup first. Best wishes from Australia.

My goodness, that china set is whimsical and I adore it. Thank you for this lovely video! It was like joining in on the fun.

For $45 the sandwiches should have been over the top! But I love the idea of afternoon tea. We had a place here in Ocean City Maryland, in the Dunes Hotel that offered tea every afternoon for FREE! All you had to do was show up! They didn't serve sandwiches, but they did serve little pastries and cookies. Not sure that place is still there. It was one of the oldest hotels in Ocean City and I think it was recently renovated, which I thought was a real shame. Anyway, thanks for taking us along to Neiman Marcus!

The stand lookec hit or miss Looked stale and dry They would do good to learn this arrt of afternoon tea in Europe Neiman Marcus has to compare to competitie that should have been an impressive tea service at $45 plus tip

Lovely tea - but seriously, that china is STUNNING! ❤

What a lovely video! There's no Neiman Marcus in my area in Tennessee so I enjoyed looking over your shoulder as you sampled the fare.

I lived in University Park in Dallas for 24 years and shopped North Park and Neimans but did not know they served afternoon tea. I've been to lunch at the downtown store but no idea about the tea. The sandwiches seemed underwhelming, treats looked delicious. Nice review. Thank you.

I love a traditional BRITISH tea. It's hard to find in the USA. I glad I found your channel. Please keep sharing. Thanks!

As usual, very enjoyable. Thank You.

I absolutely love afternoon tea and I've been wanting to explore more options near me in DFW. I absolutely love this channel! It's so helpful to figure out if an afternoon tea is worth it.

In the late 70s I had high tea at the Empress Hotel in Victoria,BC and it was magical ! Victoria was already a tourist destination, but not with the numbers of even 10 years later, so things were ‘different’-in a good way. Waiting in the line to enter, I met two other college girls who’d come up for the day by ferry from Washington. We decided to share our first high tea experience together. The tearoom was so regal and lovely: plushly carpeted, with velvet chairs arranged around round tables bedecked with heavy white table linens set with gleaming silver service and fine China dishes. It was the first time we’d ever seen or used the secondary pot full of hot water to add to the teapot. The tiered serving dish was a revelation of deliciousness. Not only was it abundantly filled…It was our introduction to clotted?/devonshire? cream with scones and strawberry preserves and we couldn’t get enough of it! (Our sweet waitress even provided us with seconds 😂! ) The assortment of sandwiches included cucumber and egg salad AND watercress…! And then still a tier of dainties! The serendipitous meeting with wonderful tablemates, our welcoming and friendly waitress…I could not have dreamt of a more delightful and delectable introduction to this English tradition.

Nice but $45. Presentation on sandwiches was unremarkable. Thanks for your delightful video.

Oh how fun! Loved going with you for tea!! Thanks so much!

Beautiful china dishes! love the vibrant butterflies!

Love that you gave full view and comment. Walking to cafe. Look at menu. Overview of presentation and taste. I will go to NM for their tea. Thx

Hello, I recently found your channel. I like it very much. I love afternoon tea, I haven’t had it very often three times. Ha ha ha. I wish you the best of luck with this channel and I will continue to watch your videos so I can catch up. Kathy.

Hi. Just discovered your channel and love it. I have learned a lot about tea just from watching. I read a lot, but having you explain it all is very helpful. I do prefer loose leaf but usually take my own tea bags when out and about - easier. Wherever I go, I do ask if they serve Lipton tea, if yes - I definitely use my own tea bags lol - not a fan of Lipton. Looking forward to more information and experiences. Thank you.

I adore Neiman’s Northpark. My favorite. Downtown seems snobby

It’s nice to see a thriving mall

I wish I'd known this!!!! We lived in North Dallas (Richardson), have since relocated back home to Wyoming. However, we're not living under a rock here and NM is in a couple of locations. Should push come to shove I'll host afternoon tea to my husband and our teenage daughter in our RV out on our brand-new, work-in-progress working farm with fresh eggs. For real, y'all. Proper tea is proper regardless where it is served.

❤ This was good. How about an afternoon tea party next time?😊

Lovely video, one of my favorite teas is at Fortnum& Mason in London.They have live classical music with piano accompaniment. NM does a nice tea too.

I've never had a strawberry butter - it sounds interesting. In Australia there's quite often lemon, mandarin, or passionfruit butters.

what a beautiful tea set!!! ive just discovered your channel, and i dont drink tea very often but im obsessed with your videos! thanks for sharing, i cant wait to see more from you! also: do you think that little cake square was tiramisu?

Hmm…very nice to see afternoon tea in my area, but the food seems a little lacking compared to what I’ve seen in London. Really enjoyed, thank you. I may try it.

There's a lovely tea room in Carefree AZ. I believe it's called English Rose Tea Room

I absolutely love the china!

I was born in London so I do like Tea. My favorite is English Breakfast or Earl Grey.

The avo on toast and mushroom and tomato sandwiches were highly irregular for an English tea, more like breakfast! Fun fact: Popovers and Yorkshire Puddings are the same thing (yorkies would be served hot from the oven though).

Good to know, I live very close to Northpark Shopping Mall. :-)

A very pleasant video - so nice to see because there is such a lot of negative subjects on KZfaq! Definitely cream with the scones and jam - I mean DEFINITELY! I would have been very disappointed without whipped cream. For me, after going from loose tea to tea bags and then trying to go back to loose tea again, I don't blame people using tea bags because they really are so much easier in emptying the pot afterwards. I find, here in New Zealand, the high cost of these afternoon teas in relation to the low cost of providing them, means that I much prefer to do them myself!

You had me looking up locations in DFW (well, Dallas and immediate surrounding suburbs) for high tea! I won’t be able to indulge for a couple months as I’m having surgery soon, but once I’m mobile and able to eat whatever I want (woot), I will definitely be hitting up one of the locations in my area. I live near the arboretum, and as many times as I’ve visited, I have never tried their holiday tea. Since I’m a fan of history, and have read about the DeGolyer family, it might be worth a visit. Have you been?

I must say I love afternoon tea!

Have you visited The Cultured Cup? It is near The Galleria Mall in Addison. They host tea tastings and other tea events.

Chocolate Angel is my favorite place. I'd love for you to do a video there.

I am not sure how your channel popped up, but here you are. TYFS. Oh goodness, what an affront to our British traditional, formal afternoon tea service. Please don't think that is anything like how it should be offered. Sandwiches like doorsteps, dry scones, no fresh preserves or fresh cream, and such sad looking, ugly cakes and TEA BAGS???? I am horrified at Neiman's. I am British and just moved to N.Texas. You and ATF need to visit with me 😊 Regards Kate.

I love the tea service. Teabags in a pot of tea not so much. The cream puff pastries are called profiteroles. They're usually covered with chocolate. I bought some frozen ones once for home baking. It was only after I had eaten them that I found the sachet of chocolate in the box. To demonstrate how bad my memory is, I've done that twice! 🙄 I've never had scones without butter or clotted cream on them. Maybe you should sneak in some of your homemade clotted cream for the scones next time you go there? No butter on the sandwiches? It didn't look like there was. I was reading an article last week where it said Americans found having butter on sandwiches was odd. Hello to your ATF. 👋 7:58. What on earth is that truck in the background??? 🤯 Looks like a half van/half bus. 😁

Try the Rose Garden Tea Room in Arlington.

I wouldnt have paid that much 😢

I used to live over and around there.

Have you had tea at NM Cafe’? Or perhaps somewhere else in the Dallas area? What do you look for in a good afternoon tea? Leave your comments below!

I thought the tea looked awful . Having lived in England back when I would stop after shopping and have afternoon tea….this was nothing like a really true afternoon tea. I had taken my daughter to tea at Neiman back in the 1980’s and it was wonderful. But I would never go their now. There are some places around the Arlington and Ft. worth area that are so superior.

I like having sandwiches that I don’t have at home!

Tea bags?! At home okay, but not at a high tea outing.

The thick bread on the chicken salad is a complete turn off. Where is the cucumber sandwich? Also, the poured was very weak but milk is welcomed. No clotted cream 😢. The table was gorgeous! Toasted bread? It’s not that difficult to get it “right”. At least they tried😊

Omg, tea bags, nooooooo!!!!

I wouldn't have thought you were supposed to use your fingers to serve from the tray. The scones should have had clotted cream and strawberry jam. Where are the cucumber sandwiches?

The china is a dream.

That's much less expensive than the tea party's in the English hotels.

I too have been to the UK and had clotted cream and I was surprised they didn't have it with the scones. You paid too much for what you got too, very posh but not worth the price, in my opinion.

driving and posting.

I wish I liked clotted cream.

Im from the area near there and was excited at the notion of a tea offered in a department store, I still live in person shopping but that was appealing level tea service. What a disappointment. My goodness if they are going to go that low quality don't even bother to offer it.

Does that plate really have real dead butterflies on it . I hope not,I do not find it very appetizing.

Carbs

WHEN GOING TO AN AFTERNOON TEA...YOU SHOULD WEAR A HAT...AND ALSO GLOVES...IF YOU HAVE A PAIR!! I GO TO MANY AFTERNOON TEAS...AND JUST LOVE IT. THANKS FOR SHARING!

Afternoon Tea in Victoria, BC is much better. Avocado toast is cheap.

Tea should be served with the loose leaves , not tea begs. A nice afternoon tea shouldn’t be served in a conviennent way of tea bags.

That's NIEMAN, not Neiman.

I notice you quickly skipped over the scones section. Presumably because they serve that horrendous flavoured butter in place of clotted cream. I like NM cafe, but their approach to afternoon tea is poor.

$115 dollars, I did not see the value, a nice tea is fresh tea, not tea bags, the food did not look so presentable, I did not like the china so much, where was the clotted cream, lemon curd for the scones? I thank you for sharing.

$115?? What a ripoff

Surely that can't be cream they're putting in the tea.Sacrillege !

Not impressed😮.

Underwhelming

Thank you for sharing! . I do love a GOOD British Afternoon Tea!!! This one however looks mediocre 🫤 and Not very authentic 🫠
