The Grade II listed property on Cwlach Road, which comes with a four bedroom apartment, has been run for the last 16 years by Diane Easter.
The property previously went on the market in 2018, but remained in Ms Easter’s hands.
In a post on social media, the business revealed they were again looking into selling, telling the Pioneer it would be for the "right price".
Their post stated: "After 16 years we are tentatively thinking about selling on our beautiful tearooms.
"We welcome any enquiries but no time wasting."
The property is believed to have been originally built as a summer house for the tea importer, grocer and yachtsman Sir Thomas Lipton.
It was then acquired by industrial chemist and Victorian entrepreneur Henry Pochin, owner of Bodant Garden , who later sold to the whisky magnate Johnnie Walker, who in turn sold it to the world renowned orchid grower Joseph Broome who extended the garden’s terraces.
In 1929 the gardens where bought by the local authority who created a public park, opened by former Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who planted a tree.
