The Hen and Drake Modern Tearoom

The tea was excellent and beautifully presented. Every cup tasted fresh and thoughtfully selected, and it paired perfectly with the afternoon tea service. The seasonal menu really stood out. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The scones were warm and tender, the savory bites were balanced and satisfying, and the desserts were delicate without being overly sweet. You can tell the menu changes with intention, not just for the sake of it. Service was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The team made the whole experience feel relaxed and special without being over the top. If you are looking for a charming spot for afternoon tea in Antioch, this is it. We will definitely be back.

The Hen and Drake Modern Tea Room is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels warm, stylish, and thoughtfully curated—perfect for lingering over tea and good conversation. Everything feels intentional without being stuffy, striking that rare balance between modern and cozy. The pricing is refreshingly reasonable, especially given the quality and care that goes into the experience. Customer service truly shines here: friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make you feel at home. Knowing this is a Black woman–owned business makes the experience even sweeter—it’s clear this space was built with heart, pride, and community in mind. A must-visit tea room that I’ll happily return to again and again. 🫖✨

Nice little high tea spot. Great experience. Wish I knew how to play the piano as it was begging to sing it melodies. Support locally owned and operated. Hope to stop in again when back in CA.

What an awesome gem in downtown Antioch. The owner is so incredibly kind and passionate about her tea room all you can do is smile with her. So do yourself a favor book the tea date for you and your besties. You won't regret it.

Well worth the drive for this charming new tea room. I’ve been to dozens of afternoon tea spots over the decades and this is definitely one of the very best!! Every bite of food was delicious- we especially loved the chicken salad as well as the scones - but every item was expertly made with love, great flavors, and executed to perfection. Very high quality teas were enjoyed by all, and the staff was warm and welcoming. Make a reservation and enjoy!!!
