There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hours dedicated to the ceremony known as Afternoon Tea. -Henry James

La-Tea-Da! Tea Room and Parlour is a delightful little Cafe on Alexander Street where you can get a "spot of tea" for only $1.50. Food is a bit overpriced, depending on what you get. Their desserts are to die for. There's not a very unique listing of teas for it being a tea house, but it is the only one in Rochester, so enjoy the atmosphere.

Types of food: wraps, salads, soups, various desserts. breakfast pastries from 9-11am

Beverages: various hot teas, two types of cold tea (changes daily), coffee, hot chocolate, chai, italian sodas, juice

2008-06-07 07:12:25   We now have over 60 Teas from allover the world. We do not have breakfast but do brunch on Sundays from 11:00-3:00. Ta-Ta —maureenbecker

2009-01-25 08:59:06   I've been to La-Tea-Da several times and always have a wonderful meal. The food is excellent, both in taste and in presentation. The atmosphere is whimsical and fun. I wish I could spend more time there. It's sad that a couple of people with axes to grind would come to this website and trash a business. La-Tea-Da has lots of fans out there and I'm one of them. Keep up the good work! —StemCell

2010-03-02 08:07:31   Please never eat here. I went in for a Sunday brunch and there was mouse turds all over the place. The owner of the restaurant was SMOKING while cooking in the kitchen (I had my Aunt with me in a wheelchair and we walked by the kitchen when we came in). The bathroom was disgusting and there was nasty food leftover on my tea cup, not to mention the stains all over the linens. I can't imagine that the hats are ever cleaned considering the staff looks at you like you are nuts if you put a hat on or ask if they are sanitary. I do not understand how this "business" has not been shut down by the board of health. —TammyMosem

2010-03-18 17:20:43   Dear Tammy. I really do not know what Tearoom you walked into but your review was very mean spirited, and mostly untrue. After winning #1 tearoom in N,y. State and having the board of health give me an A+ just about the time you came in I am very confused at your remarks.Everyone has an off Day , but our bathroom has been featured in different articles and is not filthy, after Genesee Hospital was raised all of Park Ave had a mouse problem and I have spent thousand s of dollars to "win the War" what you saw in the back was a mouse pad [just in case.} and I am thrilled I have the back entrance so people like your aunt can enjoy us, Yes It is the working section and needs more work, But many people in wheelchairs have come through that way.As far as smoking ,It is allowed now only outside . I invite you back with her on me, I have nothing to hide and maybe you were having an off day, but these mean comments really hurt small business' I make tooo many children and seniors and students too happy to believe your story. Think again before you spew such ridiculous remarks Thanks so much maureen —maureenusdane

2010-03-19 16:23:03   I have recomended this lovely spot to many friends and always enjoy comming here to have tea and lunch. I have been though the kitchens and have never had anything but the best service and food. As a mother and a nurse I would recomend this place for anyone who has a sense of humor and enjoys light fun fare. It is homey and comfy with non matching china cups. The chicken salad with taragon is fantastic!! We are never rushed and have stayed to have girl talk over a few pots of darjeeling. Keep up the great work! —Mandy
