This was absolutely delicious even for the non-gluten free eating folks in our party. We have had many afternoon teas (including at Kensington palace and the Plaza hotel in NYC) pre celiac diagnosis and this was one of the best tasting ones we have had, especially the sandwhiches and deviled egg. We loved the scones, macarons, and teas, too. So grateful my daughter had this experience!!!

Everything is gluten free and so great! The ambiance is really nice too. It’s usually pretty busy, so you’ll likely have to make a reservation, but it’s well worth it!

My daughter and I had a fabulous afternoon tea at the silver dove. The food was very elegant and absolutely delicious. They have a set menu and a substantial tea menu along with cocktails if you'd prefer. The entire menu is gluten free. It is a great special treat If you live in the area. If you're visiting Boston, put this on your list. There are very few places in the tourist areas in Boston that cater to a gluten free/celiac dietary need. Reservations are highly recommended. They were booked on line. I called and they squeezed us in,wiith time parameters that we easily met and kept. I can't guarantee that can happen for you, while we were there they were answering calls and noting that they were full until the middle of the next month. This was an absolutely enjoyable experience, one I rarely get to have as a celiac. A huge thank you to this business.

Absolutely divine! Both the mocktails and cocktails are excellent, teas delicious, service was outstanding. Every bite of food was succulent and fresh. I also have additional allergies, that I informed them of ahead of time, and accommodated beautifully, making me special items that were not on the menu! We were so pleased with the entire experience and look forward to returning.

This place is a GF gem! They were able to accommodate DF as well. My non-GF friend thoroughly enjoyed everything and never would have thought it was 100% GF. The service was outstanding and the decor was lovely. I will definitely go back as they change the menu frequently (~every 6 weeks). They’ll post the latest menu to IG.

Dedicated gluten free afternoon tea in a gorgeous tea room. Everything(!) they bring to you is safe and delicious. The desserts were especially yummy! Earl Grey was smooth and satisfying. Waiter asked if we had any food allergies or restrictions. Silver Dove is absolutely a must visit! Owner stated that menu changes about every six weeks. Reasonably priced for gluten free afternoon tea in Boston. Reservations on weekends are definitely a good idea...the joint was jumping! We've already made reservations for a return visit!

Amazing! I’m gluten and dairy free and didn’t even have to explain anything. I wrote my allergies on the reservation, and they had everything ready to go for me. Felt very safe and everything was delicious! My non-gluten free fiancé loved it too! It’s pricey but worth it.

What an amazing treat this place is. It’s cute! The tea was delicious. Lots of choices. Then, the food!!! Everything was delicious. I had family with me that is not gf. They couldn’t believe how good the food was. If you have other intolerances, they will customize your meal. This is a must do!! Don’t miss it.

An absolutely wonderful experience. Tea was great, staff were kind and aware of multiple allergies, and pastries were all delicious. It’s expensive, but worth it. No outdoor seating, so if you’d like to go when it’s less busy, go on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon.

An amazing fully GF cafe! This is definitely a reservation-ahead type of place. However the kitchen is fully GF and the food is delicious! The set menu includes per person: a scone, 4 savory toasts, and 4 mini desserts. They accommodate vegetarians. Drinks are also delicious!

Sometimes you go to a GF restaurant and you just have to give them a review. Dedicated gluten free, and some of the absolute best food I’ve had since diagnosis. This is everything I’ve been missing. The service is spectacular, the food is high quality, and the atmosphere can’t be beat. On the pricier side but well worth it. I will be back again and again.

WOW! Such a pleasure to eat here and have a real entirely GF, safe tea!

I wish there were a few more options (to have a bigger meal, for instance), but overall super impressed. Food, alcoholic beverages, and tea were delicious, though I wish there were more savory items and fewer sweet.

Incredible high tea! I went to celebrate my mothers birthday and the food and drinks were incredible! I felt 100% safe because everything is gluten free and celiac safe!

Going for high tea has always been a tradition we did for Mother’s Day or her birthday and I have been bummed since my celiac diagnosis because everywhere I looked said no allergy exceptions. That was until this place! Now the tradition is back!
