Pinecone Cottage Tea House

Such a treasure! We were drawn to the thoughtfully created menus - rotations of unique menus that tell a story via the tastes of places; as well as the dietary options (vegan, gluten free, etc) that make it accessible and tasty for all. The tea and food were amazing, the shop is so cute, and the staff were so kind. A great experience all around!

Such a cute little teahouse!
Children's tea party was $18 per meal but I could have gotten away with only getting 2 for the 4 of them.
Loved the Romantic Full Tea of the Month

Perfect 5 star service! The place is so cute and cozy with lovely decor. The menu changes every month, my friends and I got to have an amazing lavender themed lunch. All flavors were perfectly balanced and so fresh! For sure we will be back!

This is such a special place for me and my daughter. Our visit was delicious and I highly recommend checking it out

I have gone to seven weekend afternoon teas at the Pinecone Cottage. Every single time has been nothing short of wonderful! There is a huge variety of teas, the curated menus are different and unique each month with locally grown ingredients by Pam the owner. Each visit I have left full and often with leftovers to come home with. I also love that they decorate for each season and have special weekends for holidays.

The staff are some of the kindest I have met and truly make the experience what it is. I love that the owner takes a moment during each tea to highlight her inspiration based on her travels, she always praises her wonderful staff, and thanks the attendees for helping keep the tea house going. It helps keep the personal and small business touch.

I can't wait for even more teas!

Best Tea in Chicagoland

So cute, delicious tea n food. Excellent service.

Celebrated a birthday at this adorable tea house. Soups, a little tasting plate and a wide array of teas.

Lovely afternoon!!!! Charming space and chef's kiss for the food. Tea was perfect. Can't wait to go again.

I love this tea room! The owner uses her travels as inspiration for her menu.

The food was excellent. The service was good. Except the owner in the middle of our tea decided to provide an unwanted Ted Talk about her travels, her husband, her recipes, how to get in touch with her social media, how she plans her menus, how to book future visits her cooking classes in France and how hard she works to keep her menus relevant to her travels. Honestly, it was a narcissistic moment that lasted 30 minutes during my costly tea experience with my friends and family.

This was not directed to just our table. The owner commanded the attention of the entire restaurant. We were all stopped from our experience to listen to the "Ted Talk"

So up until that moment, I would have recommended this as a lovely place to have afternoon tea.

In the future , give your guest the experience they want. Thank them for attending and stop the speech there.

If you have the need to share an all about me moment, type it up in a pamphlet for each table to read if they wish and ignore if they choose

Don't hold us hostage during our lovely tea.

Let's read the room in the future!

A cute and charming spot with a very wide selection of carefully selected teas from around the world.
Food was good although some items on the vegan option missed the mark. Scones were absolutely delicious and they have a new flavor every couple of weeks. The owner came up and we got chatting about her escapades to different parts of the world, where she sources the teas from herself.
Worth a visit if you want a quiet and unique way to spend your afternoon.
We will definitely be going back.

Lovely High Tea. Great ambiance and food. Very tasty. Friendly service.
The menu changes by season.

Everything a Tea House should be.

What a charming tea shop. Went with a group for full tea service. The food was very, very good and the tea I selected from their extensive tea menu was excellent. Would highly recommend.
