I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
For nearly two centuries, afternoon tea has been a part of British society. Complete with small pastries and finger sandwiches, it’s a tradition worth celebrating. Over the years, British-themed tearooms have popped up around the United States, and there is one tearoom you must try for afternoon tea in New Mexico. So, don your best hat and make a reservation at The St. James Tearoom in Albuquerque.
Located close to Old Town Albuquerque, The St. James Tearoom was first established in 1999. Since its beginnings, it has grown in popularity, not just locally but nationwide.
Every month, a new theme is featured and everything is absolutely exquisite down to the last detail. From the tea to the sweets to the sandwiches, you'll feel as though you've been transported straight across the pond.
The menu changes monthly with each theme. Past themes include Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (complete with a Golden Ticket), and the Roaring Twenties.
Not only is The St. James Tearoom a lovely gathering place for family and friends, it is considered one of the most romantic restaurants in Albuquerque.
