The ambiance was adorable! The tea was delicious. The desserts were tasty, and both desserts and savory food were the prettiest presentation I've seen. The food was nearly exclusively variations of cheese or tangier cream cheese and honestly our group didn't enjoy the taste of 90% of the savory foods. Careful on the step coming in. It's deceptive!

Absolutely fantastic experience! This is not your average afternoon tea; the food plays on classic dishes and creates something unique from them. It was all delicious. Fantastic service; the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they don't rush you to finish. It was just a great experience all round. The only thing I would change is being able to refer to a written menu of what was served, as if was hard to keep track of which item we were eating and what flavours to expect.

We booked the afternoon tea on a rainy day in Edinburgh, and it was a wonderful experience. The service was lovely and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I would definitely do this again!

We got given a nice corner to ourselves! Nice and quiet. Pretty relaxed. The food was amazing! I mean look at the mushroom design.

Oh my goodness what a special treat. Went for my 50th birthday and what a way to spend it. Lovely staff, I am dairy free and had a luxury afternoon tea in a 5 star hotel recently so I had high expectations. I have to so that this one exceeded the other. The attention to detail was absolutely outstanding and what an effort to make sure my food was still super tasty and very special. I have had many an afternoon tea but this is by far the best ever! Thank you for making my day so special, picture is just the sweet course I was too hungry to take a picture of the savoury sorry.😊❣️

Fabulous afternoon tea today (22 June 2023). Outstanding service from every staff member I spoke to, nothing was too much trouble. The food was phenomenal. I can't recommend The Signet Library highly enough if you're looking for somewhere for a special occasion 10/10.

An exquisite afternoon tea in an amazing location and atmosphere. You're settled inside a historical and beautiful library. The savory and sweet selection is unique with some interesting flavours such as white chocolate and wasabi. I particularly enjoyed how quiet the setting was which lends itself to a lovely peaceful afternoon tea. The staff are professional and the service is perfect. They cater for allergies with care and ensure everyone is served properly. The average price is around £55 which I think for this level of service and quality is just right. I'm giving 5 stars for memorable event and overall recommend this place for afternoon teas. Given its central location, it is very accessible if you're visiting Edinburgh.
