I got a tea leaf reading from here that was so bang on. Even a few things that at the time I was like no, or that doesn't make sense ended up being true after all. I will definitely be back :)

Best quiche n cup of tea ever! But I do t know about the reading lol

Food was nothing special. Cups were dirty. Waitress was an angry person. No one ever checked to see if everything is okay.

Food is delicious! You must try the mushroom soup, best in town! The waitresses are all lovely and bubbly people willing to chat up a storm with visitors! The owner/reader, as well as the other readers, are also very warm and welcoming people. This is is must experience type of place!

Our reading with Heather was fun, but I would go back for the food. The scones and sandwiches were great.

The readings always are spot on, doesn't matter who is doing the medium. And as far as food goes if you haven't had the prawn and asparagus crepe or the mushroom soup from here you're truly missing out these two unique items to the calico house are so delicious and full of hearty home made warmth, ALSO their scones are literally to die for. I have been a regular for years now and consistency is on point these girls do not miss !!

Food was bland but I gather it’s made for the taste buds of older customers. Reserved Heather for 2 - 20 minute tea cup readings @ $60 each. Mine was less than 10 minutes but was charged the full amount. My friend had her reading and was asked if she had a question- I was not asked.
Disappointed and for the price, not worth it.
Staff were lovely but I cannot recommend this place.

I’ve been here three times now. The service is generally good. When they get busy, there are tea leaf readers that can get a bit short with you. Not rude…. Just rushed. I wouldn’t say my readings blew my mind but they are interesting and fun to do. The food is delicious though a little pricey for the serving size. Cute place. Old character home from a bygone era with a large array of knickknacks all around you, a little tight for space around the table so if you have a walker that may be a problem. Some jewelry and art for sale as well. There is outdoor seating when the weather permits and a resident kitty may come say hello. It’s kinda like going to granny’s to visit

Delicious food, but rude service. A friend booked for us and assumed I would want a reading. I did not, and even though my friend did get a reading for herself (thus still making a good price off our table), the server was very rude when I asked for a strainer (loose leaf being all that was available because they push the readings HARD, and she told me I should have brought my own) and had an attitude the rest of the time we were there. She made it very clear that the reading was the main point of the business, not the food. The reader pushed hard on me to buy a reading as well. Wish I could go back for the food but honestly it was just a very unpleasant experience and felt like being in one of those high pressure timeshare sales pitches.
