For the price and quality of the hotel I was expecting better from their afternoon tea set. I've been to several in Bangkok and this one just wasn't great considering the retail 1998++ pricetag for two including two glasses of Champagne. (Though I personally got it slightly cheaper through a Klook deal.)
For some reason we're still doing Christmas theme in almost-February...
The savouries were pretty basic with none having any ingredients that elevated them from beyond the basic.
The scones were small, dry, and there were only two of them (one each).
The sweets were too similar, almost every single one was covered in colored sculpted low-quality chocolate - which looked very pretty but tasted really basic and boring. Theoretically they were supposed to be distinct desserts (A fruit tart, rum baba, yule log and red velvet) but in practice there was so much sculpting chocolate on the outside and so little filling on the inside that it just felt like eating a kg of bad chocolate.) For example the snow man had nothing in the "Head" and only about a cm diameter of rum baba cake in the "body" - The christmas tree was apparently a fruit tart but there is significantly more chocolate christmas tree filled with praline cream than fruity tart.
The only standout of the evening was the santa macarons, as they were probably the best I've had in Asia. The actually melted in my mouth as they are supposed to and the sour raspberry filling contrasted the sweet almond cookie amazingly.
The sparkling wine was also a better quality than is usually offered at afternoon tea.
I would give a different set a try, but I'd pass on this one. I hope in future that more care is taken on the taste and less on just the instagramability.

I just experienced one of Bangkok's finest afternoon tea sets in a serene ambience accompanied by impeccable service. A skilled female dessert chef makes delicious treats that are not only beautiful to look at but also scent amazing. The place has a lot of parking spots and a big lobby, making it a great place for both work meetings and social get-togethers with friends.
Terrible! We were standing at the counter long time before the lady look at us and told us to sit at the table to order. We sat at the table and she didn’t even glance at us. That’s her.
Nice coffee shop located in The Atheneum hotel.
Coffee and bakery goods were great.
The lady who worked there in the morning as a barista/cashier was amazing, very friendly and welcoming.
Easy access, good environment, great ambient.

So many wonderful things to eat. There was really something here for everyone, even if you just want a coffee. They are open pretty early and they even have afternoon tea if you'd like. It's usually not that busy so you can get in right away. I highly recommend even if just for a bit of chocolate
A little too expensive comparing to other bakery with the same quality. Service was ok. Staffs were helpful but 2 different staffs gave different information on discount and billing. The butterfly pie is very dried, some maynot like it but it was ok for me.
The tea time set is so cute. I have visited here for 2 times.
Bakery and drinks are good.
There are many views for taking many photos.
Let the photos tell us.
