The Flour Box Tea Room and Cafe

The atmosphere is very pretty and relaxing and the food and tea are outstanding! My daughter had her birthday party here and everyone loved it! The staff were really friendly and accommodating and took care of everything for us including some special requests.

I went to the Flour Box for afternoon tea with my sister and our friend. We were excited about going and called ahead to make a reservation. Contrary to what is written on their website, you cannot make same day reservations. We ended up walking in and had no problem being seated. Our waitress was nice at the beginning of our tea / meal but slowly became impatient.

Afternoon tea is supposed to be a leisurely activity but we found ourselves being rushed out. She stood near our table waiting for any chance to take our dishes. At one point she cleared a plate from the table and commented “I’m trying to get the dishwasher on and get out of here.” I found that to be a bit rude. There were still 20 minutes until closing time at that point and we only had to finish our drinks.

I’m giving them a 3 star rating only because the food and drinks were good. The decor and service were not great.

It is fantastic. Staff is very helpful, presentation is excellent, and the experience is a must. They offer a great brunch menu on Sundays. Tasty teas and good coffee. Cool place to dine alone or in a group. They do holiday oriented things as well.

Service was excellent and friendly. Location is perfect and Old Salem. Really like sitting outside. But the food for both of us was a bit bland and not really all that good. The seasonal fruit was simply canned Mandarin oranges with grapes and canned pineapple.

Fantastic food and desserts and seamless pick up! Staff was extremely friendly and easy to talk with on phone and the food was absolutely delicious ! Don’t miss out on the to-go menu and specials - especially the chicken pie and scones :) we will be ordering again soon. thanks y’all !

It’s a super cute atmosphere but COMPLETELY overpriced. We got 3 teas and 1 tower of a few tea sandwiches and bite-sized desserts for $100... the service is also incredibly slow. Tart Sweets in Winston does a comparable tea for literally half the price and with way better service!

The Flour Box Tea Room, which is doing an excellent take out service during these trying times, is the absolute best most awesome experience in its totality. The staff, food, desserts, and atmosphere is everything you are looking for. Even doing take out is totally worth it. The first experience will most likely become a wonderful habit. :)

Wonderful Tea! This has become my go to place with female friends. Everytime my Mom comes to visit we always go at least once sometimes twice. My best friend and I go almost monthly now. I have taken several other of my female friends and they all seem to enjoy it. If you want to have a really good time and a calorie splurge get the Full Tea. If you order in advance they can do special requests. My Mom can't have sweets so we always ask for extra savory items. One of my friends can not have gluten and they fixed gluten free for her.

Fantastic food in a beautiful setting! From the delicious teas to the tasty hummus appetizer to the scrumptious chicken salad sandwich, The Flour Box has it all. Uly and her mother have created a masterpiece, in Winston, that is truly one of a kind. I would encourage folks near and far to pay them a visit.

My daughters and I have a long standing tradition of full tea around Christmas time. Every year prior to this past Christmas has been fabulous. This year however, not so much. The tea and food was great but the service was terrible. Also the waitress made a snide remark to our faces about the amount of tip we left. So disappointing.
