“ We always return as it is a proper, lovely tea room and carefree, too! (If you can't remember the location, read my review!) ”
“ The food is delicious and the atmosphere makes everything special. I really liked the hat basket and picked one out to really be fancy. Going to take my granddaughters again in a few weeks, can't wait, they are so excited and already have their fancy dresses picked out. Highly recommend service is exceptional. Great high tea vibe. ”
“ This place is so cute, honestly if you can try to make a reservation inside because it's so cute! The outside is cute too and when the weather is nice, it's refreshing. Overall our service was so friendly and allowed us to switch the salmon for the chicken. The food was fresh and tasty. Not the best food flavors but it is an experience and everything was ok. I really enjoyed the scone and berry chocolate dessert. There are so many tea options here as well which is such a plus! I'd suggest coming here for an occasion as well to get dressed up for. ”
“ I'm a true sinensophile and I declare this charming tea room one of the best I've ever visited! Even before you enter the threshold, you get the feeling you're in for a transformative experience! Outside is an English telephone box filled with British memorabilia along with flowers, and outdoor seating area, and gorgeous decor. Inside is like walking into another world! The "photo wall" filled with flowers is irresistible! They teapots at the gift shop are lovely and I had to have one, even though I wanted to take them all home with me! My friend and I came here, she surprised me, and the whole experience was as "carefree" as the town! The food was amazing and we devoured every morsel! Every detail was perfectly thought out and we loved the Queen wall, the huge lighted tree in the center of the room, the clever signage, the furniture and table settings, and truly just each detail! The tiered tray came out quickly and filled with delicious tea sandwiches and treats! The staff was friendly and efficient! One of my favorite tearooms of all time!! ”
“ We absolutely loved our visit to the English tea room! The decor is so beautiful and everything you would want when having a tea party! Our server was so helpful (Elena) and made sure we knew what items our friends in the group with allergies could have. She was very attentive and so kind! The tea was delicious. I have peach and ginger, which was so good! The deserts were amazing and I loved the scones with jam! Perfect spot for a shower, get together or party! ”
“ We had an amazing experience here today!! Booking was easy and prices were very reasonable! Elena our waitress was lovely and so kind and accommodating for our allergies. The ambiance is GORGEOUS and we loved our tea! The food was yummy and we will definitely be back. We had a party of 7 and I booked about a month in advance. It was very busy. A great spot for any occasion! ”
“ Always a nice place to enjoy tea, scones, lovely atmosphere and company. Service staff is courtesy with just enough interaction. Knowledgeable and friendly. Tea choices are numerous and delightful. ”
“ Lovely experience at this delightful tea house. Brought my daughter and granddaughter to celebrate a birthday. Teas were deliciouses, they accommodated my daughter's needs for her but allergy and my girls enjoyed most everything presented. It was sweet to be able to have a child's tea option geared toward young guests. Love the gift shop area and all of the floral decor. Perfect for pictures anywhere and everywhere. ”
“ What a charming spot! We were in town for a retreat within walking distance and I had found this spot on Yelp. We wanted to check it out but kept forgetting to call for a reservation. (Note you do those online now here!) I knew chances of our group of 4 getting a table on a busy Saturday was slim, but we stopped in early to ask and were told often the reservations are done 1-2 months in advance and they were fully booked. But if there was a cancellation we could get in. When we came back later it was closer to closing but they had a con cellar ion and we got a table! (Which they didn't have to tell us or give us as it was late, so extra points for kind and gracious hosts!) The interior is amazingly cute and the ideal dram of a tea room I all pinks and sparkles and fun decor. The tables are smaller for a cozy tea but also can be put together for a party. The menu is amazing but we came for cream tea. Their tea options are amazing as well with lots of great caffeine free, herbal and black/green options. With a cream tea you get two scones and a pot of tea, so we split two orders and had plenty. They also do gluten free scones! Amazing! It was a delightful time with friends I haven't seen in years, and a great way to make a memory and celebrate friendship. I highly recommend coming in for a pot of tea and a fun experience! ”
