Cuppa Cheer ~ Tea Room & Gift Shop

Adorable tea house. Good food and service.

Such a lovely tea room. The food and tea is delicious! The decor is beautiful and the sweet owner is absolutely charming! She goes out of her way to make everything special!

Wasn't able to have tea service due to scheduling error but the store was cute

My baby shower was hosted here this weekend and it was perfect! Every detail was so well thought out, from the decor to the to go containers (they’re floral! 😍). The food was delicious and service was amazing. Terrie is so kind! It was such a special day. I will definitely be back with my daughter someday!

This place is wonderful! The proprietor Ms. Lynch is so sweet and attentive. The decor is adorable and I felt kike I was in an English cottage. I was informed by my companion that the tea service was made in the correct order( tea first, then the dishes one after another). Everything was yummy! FYI, the food menu changes each month. The scones were delicious (pumpkin and toffee when we went), as were the sandwiches we chose (there are other lunch options besides sandwiches). The teapot was filled to the brim- enough for several cups. We will definitely be visiting here again!

Vegetarian options: A black bean soup was available during our visit.

Kid-friendliness: I think this would be a lovely spot for a young girl

Located just off Historic Route 1, in Ladysmith, Virginia, sits the home of a sweet little tearoom named Cuppa Cheer. A welcoming sign invites you inside a peaceful nook where tea and conversation flow in equal measure. This cottage-style tearoom is designed with sage and rose floral chintz curtains, white laced tablecloths and parasols suspended from the ceiling for a whimsical flair. Owner, Terrie, wanted her tearoom to be appealing but not too frilly. She nailed it. Offering old-world hospitality, her tearoom is casual and cozy.

Depending on your appetite, the tea menu provides plenty of options from a “Spot of Tea”, a pot of tea, two scones and fruit to the “Dilly-Dally Tea” which includes two pots of tea, four scones both savory and sweet, tea sandwiches, fruit, cheese, crudités, pastries and petite desserts. With the set menu changing monthly, you may be served such delightful tea sandwiches as cherry-walnut cream cheese, lavender chicken salad, avocado egg salad, carrot raisin sweet sandwich, tuna baby-pea crostini and the classic cucumber and cream cheese. The savory scones may include spring onion and cheddar while the sweet selection may be a peach cobbler scone. If you are lucky, you may come in time for the strawberry cupcakes and the homemade chocolate fudge. We enjoyed every morsel and the service was superb!

Tea drinkers won’t be overwhelmed with an extensive tea menu. Terrie thoughtfully offers a selection of about fifteen choices ranging from classic teas like Earl Grey and English Breakfast to green teas, herbal and fruit teas, oolong teas and chai teas. There’s a tea for every taste! It’s Earl Grey for me!

After tea, be sure to enjoy shopping in Cuppa Cheer’s corner gift shop. Filled with not only tea caddies, teacups, teapots and books, this shop is also brimming with hand-crafted items such as greeting cards, tea cozies, tea coasters, jewelry, wreaths and more. You may even find an elegant hat that suits your fancy. Be sure to browse around the tearoom dotted with tasteful tea décor and take a gander at the tea chandelier and the teacup quilt both hanging in the craft room.

My Cuppa Cheer runneth over!

This is a quaint little tea room. The owner was most pleasant and attentive. The tea was delicious, scones were scrumptious and the fruit cup was refreshing. My granddaughter and I had a delightful time.

My wife and I came here for four year wedding anniversary and boy, was it a great experience?!

The hostess was a fantastic person - she was very caring and she taught us a lot about the tea that was on the menu. She made us feel very at home and explained the menu to us very well too!

All of the glassware was beautiful and the interior felt very British, just like we were getting some midday tea.

The tea was delicious - My wife got apple cinnamon crumb cake, and I got peach. The food was also delicious, from the artichoke pasta to the cucumber sandwiches to roast beef sandwiches to the sweet and savory scones to the array of deserts, it was all absolutely delectable.

We can’t wait to go back!

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options if you are vegetarian.

Parking: There are about 2-4 spots at any given time.

Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring children for a tea party!

Fantastic little place. Everything was great. I added soup onto my order, because I really wanted to try it. Everything is a petite serving, but the courses add up to the perfect amount of food. I will be back when I'm headed that direction. Thank you!

Absolutely love coming to Cuppa Cheer since I found it in 2020! Everything about the experience is so lovely, and Terrie has done a wonderful job of creating this little escape. The food, the tea, the decor… all of it is so thoughtfully done. I brought a friend here to celebrate her birthday, and Terrie went above and beyond to make it special for her. I will always recommend this place for someone looking for a cozy and positive tea experience.
