Delicious food and divine desserts! The tea options are so many, it is fun to try new flavors every time. Friendly staff who help with explaining new or seasonal menu items

A group of us went for lunch. We were accommodated well at a table. The proprietor, Audra and others checked on us often making sure we had what we needed, excellent service all the way around. Their personalities make me feel valued like as a guest in a friend's home. The atmosphere is uncluttered and calm. We were given our choice of tea cups, the and other table appointments were eclectic collections of various China patterns. It would have been nice to have cloth napkins, maybe later as she gains more customers and profit. My chicken salad on a croissant was well prepared, though I didn't expect the bread to be ice cold. Next time, I'll ask it to be slightly warmed. My hot tea was served piping hot, just as I like it. My cup was preheated on this cool day. I ordered the large pot giving me all the refills I desired, lasting long into our lingering over conversation. Others had various entrees. The potato soup seems to be their favorite. The sweet pea tea was a hit with it's deep blue hue. It would be great if the owner of the property made some repairs and improvements such as the less than safe front steps. "Commercial staircases typically have a width of 44 to 60 inches, a riser height between 4 to 7 inches, and a tread depth of 11 to 12 inches to ensure safety and accessibility". The rail that is down the middle is too wide to grasp safely. "...handrail height must be between 34” and 38” inches as measured from the stair tread...Must have an outside diameter of at least 1 ¼” but no greater than 2”. Handrails with a non-circular cross section must have a minimum perimeter dimension of at least 4” but less than 6” and a cross section dimension no more than 2 ¼”." The handicapped ramp is not easily accessed and requires one to back out of a very narrow space. The door to the building at the top of the ramp is warped and won't close in damp/cold weather. The threshold has cords across it. Neither entrance is welcoming to the aged or handicapped. I look forward to my next time and trying new teas.

I had a cup of very impressive ham/bean soup with a beautiful salad. Not to even brag on the green tea!!! Very special.

This place is the cutest, just came for my birthday and the staff was so sweet, very attentive and the food was delicious. My friends and I all split a few pots of tea and it was perfect. The whimsical decor just adds to the overall atmosphere and experience. I highly recommend!

Such a great little place! Will definitely come back again. The service was excellent and the food was great. The chicken salad was delicious and the fairy cup ( I think it’s called) was so yummy. I loved the beautiful tea cups & tea pot too. My daughter and I shared a pot of tea, and we both ordered lunch. Only downside was they were either out of scones or they only came when you ordered afternoon tea. Either way, next time we will ask more about them. Will definitely be back! I’m so glad we have this in our town!

Personally I feel it is overpriced compared to similar businesses in the area. Only got like 2 cups of tea out of the pot. I mean tea and water are cheap so I was expecting more. Service was good and sandwiches were good but no refills on those either.

If you love tea, a place for friends to meet up or the need for a quick bite, this cafe/tea is amazing. Cute table set ups, all tea things to purchase and the food was delicious.
