The Whistling Kettle

Love this place! Great food and tea options. Afternoon tea is my favorite: 2 selections from soup/salad/sandwich and a dessert for $16. I normally choose a savory crepe (like a combination of a wrap/panini), a house salad, and a scone, and they are delicious. Perfect for lunch. Smaller groups are better than large groups with the normal seating arrangements.

The food was delicious! I had the turkey avocado sandwich , and lobster bisque. Both were very good. The bisque didn't have any chunks of lobster in it, which would have been nice. The staff were attentive and friendly. The deserts were amazing! Ironically, I'm not a tea drinker, but my sister in law is, and this was her birthday lunch. I ordered the raspberry lemonade, which was good once I put a little sugar in it. I gave 4 stars only because we asked for a booth and were told they were for larger parties, but it was a Tuesday afternoon and the place was empty. We were sat at a small table close to another table anyway. All said, I would definitely recommend this place.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I try to stop in whenever I'm in town. The food is always great and their tea selection is huge. The service can be spotty (never bad, just a bit slow), but it's entirely understandable given that they're pretty much packed every time I go in. I don't normally like dairy in general, but the clotted cream they serve with their scones is great.

Great spot nestled in the heart of downtown Ballston spa. They have a wide selection of hot and cold teas as well as coffees and alcoholic beverages. The baked goods, sandwiches, and soups are exceptional. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing place! Food was clever and delicious. Service was slow, but they warn you of that with a sign on the door. It was a lovely, relaxing afternoon. Highly recommend!

Lovely location. Food was excellent. We had the chicken, pesto, mozzarella, in a crepe.
Service was great and price was right. We will stop again. Thanks for delicious meal.

Not a bad place, but a little pricey. Sadly, the waitress messed up my order and I ended up paying $12 for a BLT on wheat bread (I ordered ciabatta). I normally would have said something immediately, but I am pregnant and didn't want to cause any trouble.

Wonderful little place with sidewalk seating as well as indoors. We had our first ever wine slushie (delish) and a crepe. Everything was excellent, the service was fast and the server excellent.

Very cool place. And they're open on Mondays unlike most every place else. So many choices in tea that I didn't know about! The crepes are delicious.

It is a nice place with a warm atmosphere. There are a lot of tea options here. Food is delicious and displayed with care. Service was slow and we did not see our waitress from the time we got our food to the time our bill arrived. Its worth a visit when in the area.
