A Girl's Best Friend/Orleans Tea Room

The food is very minimal and most of it was simply purchased food, not homemade. It is all served on one very small plate. We have visited many tea rooms in the states and overseas and have to say it rated the lowest of them all. It is also not a 'tea room' in the manner that you are probably used to. My hubby and I were looking forward to a romantic afternoon but instead had to share our afternoon with the rest of the group as the tea is 'staged' and requires participation. In fact, we were actually the only couple that got to sit by themselves-the rest had to team up at the different tables (in a very small room).

I asked about the Entertaiment during the High Tea as being the only option and found out they do have another option with no entertainment.It is called the Mini-Tea. It is the same great food served on tiered silver trays but with no entertainment. The cost is also $2.50 less.

I was so happy to see that Omaha finally had a place for tea. The Food was excellent, the shop attached was super cute, however I am sad to say I will not go more than once. Why? There was no choice if you wanted the entertainment. One time was enough. The entertainment was all about the education of taking Southern tea. I did not need tea education. I felt like I was at a little girls party. I have traveled far and wide and my favorite thing about having tea is to spend the time conversing with my friends and family. I hope they change how they do the teas otherwise I am afraid they will not have repeat customers, and Omaha will once again be with out a tea room.
