"The Swing the Teapot is an absolute gem! I found them on the map by searching breakfast near me .. This cozy breakfast spot (i believe they do lunch and dinner also buy my wife and I went for breakfast)is beautifully themed with teapots everywhere, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. They have an impressive assortment of teas and teapots, really adding to the charm. The service was fantastic, and the space is roomy despite the slightly tight street parking. I had the Irish breakfast for the first time, and the Irish soda bread was so delicious—definitely a must-try! We’ll definitely be back. They even have live entertainment, making it the perfect spot if you’re looking for a unique and delightful experience. Highly recommend!"

I was disappointed with the breakfast. The homefries were heavily seasoned with salt and garlic. They charged $12 for 2 eggs salty home fries and 1 piece of toast.

Nice tea house two shoppes sized. The service was splashy-sloshy! Too funny really. It just was incongruous but the menu was very good as was the food. Excellent selection of teas.

I was disappointed with the corned beef sandwich I had. The rye bread and corned beef was both dry. The saving feature was the tea. I had the blackberry black tea, loved the fruity taste. The white tea with strawberryr was flavorless. I couldn't taste the strawberries. The atmosphere n setting was great .

We had the most wonderful celebration for my grandsons christening! Everything was absolutely perfect! The food, the staff and the whole atmosphere of Swing the Teapot is very special! They make you feel as if you are sitting in your own home!

Always love going here, but for some reason the service is always lacking. Busy, empty, in between, it's hard to get your server's attention.

While this place is cute, the atmosphere decent for a breakfast place, We just left after having a terrible experience at this restaurant, we arrived and were excited to be seated quickly. Our order was taken after waiting for 10 mins without water or greeting, the server was nice and wrote everything down.

We than began to wait, 15… 20mins… we then asked where our coffee was, 2 different servers, then another 15 mins later we received our coffees, no creamer. We then asked for creamer with another 15 minute wait. Our order was not put in so we waited another 30 mins for our food. Only half came, then another 15 mins passed and no additional food came. By the time we had finished only half of what we had actually ordered, the server was no where to be seen.

We approached the bar 3 different times to have additional help and no one responded besides having us talk to the original server, who was new to taking tables and couldn’t handle the amount of tables given to him.

By the end we asked to remove half the food from our check so we could be out the door after being here for almost 2 hours waiting. No other compensation was offered. I get being short staffed, this happens all the time in hospitality. However, as a manager, the best approach to this is to not open the entire space and have less tables. We should have been told that things were going to take time, when you stay involved with your customer, they are more inclined to wait. At the very least, giving water and coffee to hold a table down makes sense.

I’ve been in the industry for a decade, I rarely approach anyone with bad service, I just don’t return. Today, felt like they brushed us off because they couldn’t handle their kitchen and table times.

The waitress got our order wrong on 3 items. Once order was taken waitress NEVER came back. Not to ask how things were, not to correct order, not to refill the ice tea, not for Anything! Food was mediocre at best. Disappointed!
