High Tea In the Clouds is located on Level Ten of the Adelaide Crowne Plaza in the East End of Adelaide with sweeping views of the Adelaide Hills.

The high tea is served in either Koomo or Luna10, both of which offer a stylish and welcoming setting. On our visit, we were seated in Koomo, a sophisticated and serene space with a calming ambience. Beforehand, we arrived early to enjoy a cheeky cocktail at Luna10—a beautifully appointed bar with plush seating, sweeping views, and a great place to ease into the afternoon.

The High Tea In the Clouds menu showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients and is entirely crafted onsite at the Crowne Plaza. A standout for me was the Curried Egg Round Sandwich—a nostalgic classic that’s clearly making a comeback. It was delicate, well-balanced, and had just the right touch of mild curry. It’s always pleasing to see such a humble item prepared with such care.

On the sweeter side, the Cookies Éclair was a lovely modern twist on a traditional French favourite. Other treats like the Caramel and Butter Tart and Passionfruit Cheesecake were equally decadent, making it hard to pick a favourite.

I also appreciated the curated tea offering from Brackendale Tea Co., which included some intriguing blends. I opted for the Cream Earl Grey, a smooth, aromatic choice that paired beautifully with both sweet and savoury items. For coffee lovers, barista-made options are also available.

Service was excellent throughout, with a special mention to Lucy, our server, who was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel extra special.

This is a lovely option for a celebration, a catch-up with friends, or simply treating yourself to a little indulgence in the clouds. The attention to detail, quality ingredients, and relaxed luxury made for a truly enjoyable afternoon.

Angie got her passion for high tea, in particular scones from her Nanna. She would stay at her house regularly and they would bake scones, pasties and cakes for hours. Angie’s scones are quite popular amongst her friends. She says they need to be traditionally made though – kneading the butter and making a well for the milk! Not cream and lemonade thank you! She is a self-confessed tea snob and loves a great quality tea. She says it’s lovely, soothing and there’s nothing like a pretty tea cup.
