After a wonderful time at tea cart Winchester location..I fell down their staircase out front. I'm still suffering from the fall but the owner could of cared less that day. all I got was I'm sorry as she walked back inside. be careful in rainy conditions on their stairs out front. they are painted with no grip tape and no hand rail in center, the outer hand rails aren't usable they come to my thigh. I broke my tailbone that day, my hip joint is injured among other things.... still going to physical therapy twice a week... it's been a horrible a year ...some compassion from owner would have went a long way but unfortunately there was none given

Me and my boyfriend went to the Beetlejuice themed tea and we had a great time! It was something different for our normal but the waitress explained the way the pre set menu would work and served everything very timely. The cream puffs weren’t ready and they supplemented us with some delicious truffles and still remembered to bring the cream puffs by the end of the tea. Really enjoyable atmosphere and everyone was so pleasant we actually can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful delicious food it felt as if we walked back in to 1800 . Michaela, our server was so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable made the experience even more special would recommend this to everyone.
I had an afternoon tea date with my husband. Both of us had the Royal Ascot. Really pleased with the variety. Appreciated the sizing throughout, so we could partake in everything. We also enjoyed the ambiance, and being able to get away to slow down a little bit from our daily lives.

Very attentive waitress once she connected with us . Food was minimal but tasty . Tea Service was generous but weak as diluted with much water.

Lovely little place with a great atmosphere. Having been to many tea rooms across the country, there are a few things that stood out to me: 1) the service starts with scones with jam and cream. However, it is not clotted cream but whipped cream. For a service that is at least $40, clotted cream seems an integral part. It's even available in jars in supermarkets. Every other place I've been offers multiple scones and refills on cream and jam for the table. None were offered here. 2) the lunch option we chose came with multiple small sandwiches, some of which were wonderful and some just okay. For example, the cucumber and cream cheese could benefit from some dill. Mustard on the ham and rye. That kind of thing. Again, the portions are small compared to other tea rooms. 3) the desserts are probably the best part of the whole meal. We ordered more lavender blackberry cookies to go. 4) the tea selection is varied and exotic! So appreciated. However, you get one pot per person. We weren't offered an option to get a refill or order another pot. 5) this is picky...but some of the staff were in the back and talking loudly about missed reservations, etc. It dampens the atmosphere, which is supposed to be an elegant tea room away from all those concerns.
This is a nice place that should do a bit better at making you feel like you're getting your money's worth. The bill was over $100 for 2 people, and those little things make all the difference!

The owner was unpleasant to our wedding party and was rude to her staff in front of us. I felt sorry for our waitress.
My daughter booked a tea date for my birthday. The GF option made it possible for us to do something we love outside the house. It was wonderful. Our server Jen was incredible. She’s a keeper! My daughter also has a red meat allergy. Jen made sure everything was perfect and never once made it seem like a hassle. We will definitely return!

We enjoyed the food and our server was (as always) incredible.But I have to say, our recent experience became unpleasant when one of the owners forced my wife to sign a waiver to eat there because she has a food allergy.This has never happened during previous visits, but it did yesterday. Her particular allergy is one listed on their website as one they are able to easily accommodate. Not only was she forced to sign a waiver, but the owner practically hovered over her to sign it and kept checking back, interrupting our meal, until it was signed.It was NOT discrete and frankly somewhat humiliating for her to be treated as such in front of friends and family. People with food allergies deserve respect and to be treated with dignity.On top of the embarrassment, it is insulting that the owner didn't bring out the waiver until we were halfway through our meal.As much as we have enjoyed our previous experiences, unfortunately, after this, I don't think we will be returning any time soon.

Had the 3 course Royal Ascot and the food was great. The service is attentive. They were able to accommodate dietary restrictions so everyone could enjoy the experience. The tea selection is large, and all were delicious. Also enjoyed a raspberry cream mimosa. Recommend it all!

What a delightful time my friend and I had at The Tea Cart in Berryville VA today!! It is so beautifully decorated with lovely plates, tea pots, etc. We were served by Hannah who did a smashing job of attending to us and explaining about the tea room as well as the one in Winchester. She was fantastic. The food was delicious and beautiful. Every item is a hit! The pastries, cookies and the desserts were beautifully decorated and tasted heavenly. Jen and her crew in the kitchen do a fabulous job!! We were very, very impressed with this place and can’t wait to attend one of their occasional “themed teas”. Thank you to all of you at The Tea Cart!!

I came here with my mom last year for Mother's Day, and we loved it so much we've made it a regular occurrence! The food, service, and atmosphere are all so amazing. We will be coming back as long as we live in the area!
