We go to Cafe Anglais several times a year and it remains one of our very favorite restaurants in the Frederick area. It's a small, charming British tea room with whimsical paintings on the wall and a picture of Queen Elizabeth looming large in the room. We invariably get the Shepherd's Pie with Mushy Peas, as we did today, which is always delicious. The British tea is great and is served in a decorative pot with matching cups. I always buy a box to take home, usually Yorkshire brand which I enjoy the most. We go during the week which is not as busy as the weekend so we can talk with the owner, Michael Harrison, a native Englishman who enjoys sitting down with his customers to chat just like he would any friend. We really look forward to talking to him when he's not too busy. In nice weather, there's charming garden out back which is a nice spot to have lunch. We've tried other menu items such as the Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash which are good, but always come back to the Shepherd's Pie (lamb) or Cottage Pie (beef). Desserts including eclairs and scones are made by Michael and are very good also.

This is a charming tea room on the main drag in downtown Frederick. Run by real Brits, you can see the level of effort put into their food and drink offerings. The tea was prepared just about perfectly for my taste, and the food was quite good; their beef and kidney pie and their shepherd's pie were both tasty. The interior is small but pleasant; you could hear the Premier League game from the kitchen area. Even better, their food items can be purchased to go at a discount; I bought six of their pies. The only downside for me was that the temperature inside was too high; I left the place bathed in sweat. (Of course, drinking hot tea didn't help.) Still, this is a delightful little place, with a friendly and chatty proprietor, and a worthy addition to the Market Street shops and restaurants.

Wife and I had lived in England for a few years and tea houses were one of the things we missed. We decided to try a couple and we started here. I ordered a small quiche and regretted it almost immediately. I will only order the large one from now on. The food is made fresh and I simply couldn't get enough of it. It is a relaxed environment, no fast food, so plan on it being a longer affair. The owner is really nice. We sat down inside and he talked to us for a couple minutes while our scones were baking. He encouraged us to enjoy the seating in the garden for the last half of our meal and it was great, very relaxing. Final thoughts. If you are looking for a quick meal, this is not the place to go. Come here to relax and enjoy time with good friends and good food.

An incredible cute little sit down area. Good prices. For the full tea experience call a day ahead. The owner makes it all. The pies, pastys, and scones where all delicious. The tea was excellent. Amazing hosts. Loved it!

I absolutely love this place and wish I lived close enough to come more often. Delicious food proves that British food is actually quite tasty! The scones are soft and tasty and scrumptious. They even have decaf tea, which means I can have a cuppa without getting a migraine.
