Adorable tea room in The Plains Virginia! Absolutely make reservations , this place is small and busy ! Many people stopped in but there was no open seating. The eclectic mix of china and decorations instantly made you feel at home. Come dressed in fascinators or casual clothes…all are appropriate. Sandwiches and scones were simple yet delicious. I had the Hummingbird Cake tea that was delicate and delicious. Bonus they have sample teas to smell before you select.

A cross between a tradition British tea room (with the eclectic furnishings and intentionally mismatched place settings) and a country cafe. The Crest Hill Tea Room offers a variety of dining options including a monthly themed tea, a proper High Tea with soup or salad and other more filling dishes, a Traditional Afternoon Tea and a Cream Tea. For those who don’t want tea there are sandwiches, salads and soup options, plus children’s menu options.We opted for the Cream Tea for 2, which was plenty of food for a light lunch for 2 people and is served up with bottomless tea. There are so many tea options I can’t remember them all! You also have a choice of scone, so we tried the blueberry white chocolate scone and the Irish cream scone. Both were delicious! Airy and tender and served up warm with a side of cream (you also have the option of jam or curd but you must ask for it). There was also a warm apple tart, cream puffs, cheesecake, banana bread with chocolate chips, macarons, cookies and fresh fruit (grapes, blueberries, orange slices). Everything was incredibly tasty.They were setting up for a large birthday party as we were finishing so servers were distracted. Otherwise, service throughout was very good.It’s a small place, so I would recommend making reservations in advance on their website (no pre-payment required) to be sure you can get a table.Parking is on street or there’s a small lot across the street.

The sanitation could be improved- My tea cup head stain in it. The tea pot covers could use a wash. The quality of the food, and the quantity of the food did not measure up to the cost. We attend teas in various places and this was the most disappointing for us

This is such a wonderful tea room! This was my first time ever attending a tea room and it was such a lovely experience. There are plenty of teas to choose from. We tried the Sally's Blend and the Valentines special Chocolate and Roses. Both were very good! They also have the teas to purchase if you'd like to bring some home. We also got a tower. The towers come with an assortment of cookies, some fruit, a choice of scone, and tea sandwiches. The butterscotch scone was delicious. Something I really appreciated about this place is that they are very accommodating to dietary restrictions. They have special items for those who are gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan. However, on our visit they kindly swapped out some of the sandwiches that were not vegetarian with ones that were on a tower we ordered. We absolutely intend on coming back as it was a very nice experience!

Sunday afternoon tea. This was our first experience at Cresthill Tea house. Overall our experience was pleasant. The service was slow. We had to ask our server for sugar tongs, honey and more hot water twice which took away from a 5 star review. Food was good, scones were the best. Serving of clotted cream was sparse.

Tea was very good and the food was tasty! The tea selection is vast and anyone can find something to choose. The finger sandwiches were tasty and the scones were delicious! Small portion of cream for the scones, wish we got a bit more. The service was a little slow waiting for tea refills, but other than that it was a wonderful time! Parking is on the street and it did take a little bit to find a spot somewhere.

Best high tea I've ever had. I ordered the Full Monty, each sandwich was so delicious. The peach and cinnamon scone - scrumptious! The Rooibos tea was so fragrant and refreshing. Lovely atmosphere! Will definitely go back!
