This past weekend was the fourth time my two daughters and I had been to Inspirations and our first time going since Covid. It's always been pricey, but the service was so good and the place settings so fancy that it was worth it. I called ahead to make a reservation, but I was told they no longer do that for smaller parties. When we entered we were told to order at the check out counter instead of ordering at the table like we've done in the past. They tried to sit us in the cafe seating at the front of the store, but we said we preferred sitting where we'd always sat before (which is now overflow seating apparently). The creamer used to come in cute little pitchers, now it comes in a condiment to go container. The scones used to come on their own plate with a dollop of lemon curd. Now the scone is crammed on the plate with the meal, and the curd comes in a condiment to go container There use plasticware and paper napkins now. My order didn't come with a dessert like it used to. When I asked about it nobody seemed to know what I was talking about. The people working there were nice, but they didn't seem to know what was going on. The food is still good although my daughters' cupcakes could have been more fresh. It would be so much better if they made their desserts instead of buying them from a bakery. It breaks my heart to say this, but we probably won't be back. This used to be a place to go for a special treat and to make a memory. Now it's just an overpriced sandwich shop.

This place seems like the type that's more about the experience than the food--a delightful ambience of peace and elaborate decor--but the food is truly declious. The veggie quiche was delectable, and the scone was good enough that we bought some to take home afterwards.

A gem in Edmond. Excellent dishes and the cutest tea party set up for dining in. Love their shop as well and all the olive oil and vinegar options. Just wish they stayed open later in the day.

Nice and fancy culinary adventure. The smiles and service were terrific, the dishes flavorful, everything was fantastic, and my family enjoyed it a lot.

I just moved to OK and first on my list was to try Inspirations Tea Room. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Trish helped me and she was amazing! She took the time to explain the menu to me and offered suggestions. She was very friendly and professional and clearly loves her job. I had the Tea for One and it was great. You certainly do not leave hungry! The presentation was top notch and the food was yummy. I love that you have your choice of were to sit - inside the tearoom, in the garden room or outside. I definitely will be back soon!

Been multiple times very good and consistent wish they opened earlier especially during the week

I loved everything about Inspirations! The atmosphere is inviting, with several areas to dine in from patio to sunroom, to traditional seating. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. They offer a large selection of hot and cold teas. They do have the option for a tea party for one, which includes the three tiered tray with delectable goodies both sweet and savory. I want to try that next time I go in! This is a great place to come with friends or even to host an event. They have a cute shop filled with teas and accessories, olive oils, and lots of other fun things. I cannot wait to take some friends back to enjoy some tea and food here.

The ambiance is so quaint! They have the most wonderful products for sale, to include teas, oils , jewelry and more! Definitely a must! And the food here is not only pleasing to the eye but it's simply delicious! The experience is unforgettable! You can even host bridal and baby showers here! Just beautiful! I will come have tea here again and again and again!t

Called and ordered curbside from a new employee who did not know what she was doing. She said that it was her very first order. Once we arrived, no one answered the phone, so I had to go in and leave my mother, who has cancer, in the car. I wore a mask inside and got a long dirty look from an unmasked customer since I was the only person wearing one besides a single caring employee. We received full-sized sandwiches instead of the pick 2 we ordered. I ordered a blueberry gluten-free scone since I am allergic to bananas that were in the daily scone. Well, I received a frozen solid as a rock gluten-free scone. Called to talk to the manager who explained it was normal to get a frozen scone in a to go order and that they only heat it up the gluten-free scones when you dine in which makes no sense. Felt like she was covering for the new employee. No apology at all. We've been coming for years. It was a frustrating and upsetting experience. I've had bad service a few other times at Inspirations, but let it go because they were busy. Will not be back or recommend this restaurant again.
Love this place !wonderful place to go too! It's definitely a great experience been going here for 3 years and every time it feels new. They have Candles to tea cups , they have their own olive oil and vinaigrette, so yummy the raspberry one.

We always have a nice time at Inspirations. My daughter and I attended the Candy Cane Christmas Tea this year. It was delicious as always, and the holiday treats were amazing! We will be back soon.

So. Much. Fun! This is a favorite spot for special occasions in our family. Today, we hosted a couple friends from Texas. Good was delicious, service was 5- star & shopping was a dream. Would highly recommend the tea party for 1, specialty tower. The scones & lemon curd are to die for!

I was with a large group and the cafe was wonderful. They were ready for us when we arrived and the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and shopping after we ate.
