This place is truly a gem. Me and my partner had the pleasure of eating here this afternoon and couldn’t help but to write a review. The service was superb and the food was excellent. The beautiful, fresh salad was the cherry on top of a very attractive lunch plate! Coffee cake was also to die for. Couldn’t recommend more!

Julia's Tea Rooms was amazing for afternoon tea with our very large group—they were super accommodating, friendly, and quick with service, everything was perfect and awesome. My family will probably remember it forever, everything was beautiful and delicious too. Thanks for the great experience!

Had a couple of jacket potatoes here today with drinks. Service was quick and friendly, sat in a window overlooking the high street which was nice for watching people pass by. The food itself was nice, our jacket potatoes were filled with coronation chicken and tuna and sweetcorn. Portion sizes weren't massive, but nothing to complain about really. Would have preferred a properly baked spud, but unfortunately we didn't get those here. Fair does. Price wise, cheaper than some in Ely. Nice views of the cathedral.

Somehow this was my first time here, but I’m really impressed. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and my sandwich was a real delicious treat! Wonderful looking cakes too - I’ll have to try them next time. Love it.

A great little tea place very roomy both downstairs and upstairs. Had a hot chocolate sitting with views of the cathedral upstairs. Very quiet location too. Staff were super chilled and allowed us to stay and relax whilst they cleaned up around us. Definetely have your afternoon tea there. Thank you guys.

I contacted Julia's via Facebook to ask about a takeaway afternoon tea, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I ordered it a couple of day's in advance of collecting it. It was packaged really well and was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend Julia's and will definitely return!
