Abigail's Tea Room

Shared a lovely afternoon today at your tea room. The presentation was very nice and paced perfectly to enjoy conversation. This is the most Victorian tea room we've visited and is very comfortable and memorable. Thanks for a great experience. We hope to come back again.

enjoyed atmosphere & food

The unique Victorian atmosphere, wonderful food, and plethora of tea options make for a memorable experience at Abigail's Tea Room. I highly recommend going!

We stoped in to confirm a reservation we made for our group, and was very pleased of the service cheer we received. I would recamend this for anyone wishing to have a special occassion or just being out with friends.

This was a wonderful birthday treat for my Mom! It was wonderful to find such a quiet, charming spot in the middle of Reading. We'll be back!

Abigail's is a lovely venue for a special lunch/tea with friends. The high tea is delicious and beautifully served.

I had a delightful time and would recommend this tea room to anyone.

I brought my best friend for tea for her birthday. There was an extensive tea menu and we were each brought our own pot of tea in a ceramic server with tea cozy. We had a most relaxing 1 1/2 hours. The tea sandwiches and desserts were yummy. We both had the carrot soup and both give it a 10! The surroundings and china were gorgeous. Very traditional. We enjoyed shopping in the gift shop - great gift ideas for the tea lover.

I truly enjoyed my visit to this tea room. There was a large variety of teas to choose from and the food was excellent! The Victorian decor and the furnishings were charming. I already made reservations for my next visit! This is one of the nicest tea rooms I've ever been to.

Everything was superb! My mother is still raving about the experience. We will be back for Mother's day with more family in tow!

At Abigail's Tea Room you think you have gone back to the Victorian age with beautiful decorations, The food is delicious and everyone so friendly!! We love to go back every season.

A truly lovely, relaxed tea in a beautiful building. Blueberry bread, scone and carrot soup were my favorites. A better selection of decaf teas would be appreciated.

a very clean and well run business which is tucked away in the middle of the town of Reading. A very unique place. I will definitely go back with family and friends.

As a first time guest, I really enjoyed myself with their High Tea menu. The ambiance, furnishings and decor of the place were fabulous, as well as their teas, food and service.

My husband surprised me with a visit to Abigail's Tea Room and I absolutely loved it. The Victorian decor was beautiful and inviting.I ordered the Victorian High Tea and the food was delicious! Best lobster & crab bisque I ever had! My husband enjoyed the chicken salad on raisin bread and a bowl of loaded potato soup and creme brulee for dessert. I might add he was very satisfied with his meal:) We enjoyed our tea selections in the lovely teacups-so pretty. Our hostess and server were both very welcoming and friendly. I guess it it obvious we really enjoyed our time at Abigail's and will definitely be returning.

Wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute & who would imagine that 2 hours could go so quickly! Loved, loved, loved the gift shop.

The Victorian decor in the many tearooms of this old house is exquisite! The presentation of the tea is beautiful. And the small gift shop was absolutely fabulous, with more than just tea items!!! Please come to Abigail's Tea Room! I first went as a guest at a baby shower and have been back twice with friends as a special outing. The menu includes wraps,sandwiches, quiche and salads, but I always order the Victorian High Tea, or the Afternoon Tea. It's absolutely beautiful in presentation and tastes delicious. I will go many times again, I'm sure.

My daughter & I really enjoyed our
tea time at Abigail's. We loved
the Victorian decor and the tea &
food was delightful.

Everthing was excellent with the exception of the selection of tea sandwiches. Woule appreciate more of a variety & amount for the price.

We had beautifully presented tea pots and finger foods; pots in tea cozies and food on 3 tiered dishes. They had a nice variety. The Victorian theme was lovely. There is also a nice gift shop.

We had a wonderful experience at Abigail's. The decor in this beautifully restored Victorian was rich and elegant and set a perfect environment for our Royal Tea luncheon. The selection of teas was very good--not so many you're overwhelmed in the choosing, not so few that you can't find something to try. The finger sandwiches--my favorite part of taking tea--were splendid, as was the entire Royal Tea menu, and everything was served in a lovely manner. I'm thrilled to find a tea room here in Reading--especially one of this caliber--and plan to become a regular!

100% satisfaction in all areas of concern. Looking forward to brining other family and friends to the tearoom!

I had a wonderful time at Abigails' Tea Room in Reading,Pa. The atmosphere was quaint and the Tea was Delicous, so many to choose! The scones where tasty and the soup,salad was filling. And the desserts where yummy!It was a delightful visit!

i was told that Abigail's had closed. Was very happy to find them open and doing very well. We as a group haven't been there for a while, so we found the Tea Room much more then we last found it.
What a pleasure. I am planning on attending very soon. While we were there was a young lady who was just turning 13, her mom had bought her for her special day. What a joy it was to watch her. The waitess took a picture of them and then i also went over asking if i could take some of the both of them. There is a beautiful doll in period dress, in which i took picture of her with the doll. I think she will remember specail day for years to come. As you see i am a people watcher. Enjoy your tea. ;-)

Food and service was excellent!

The BEST tearoom we've ever been to.
And marvelous gift shops !

We had a group of 12 ladies. The service was wonderful. Everyone was served at the same time. The teas were delicious. I thought the menu had more choices than some other tea rooms I've been to, and the food was excellent. I found the atmosphere to be great. I also enjoyed the gift shop. I have no complaints and plan to visit again.

The atmosphere is very condusive to getting into the 'ladies day tea' mood. Enjoyed the food and the wide range of tea selections.

This was my first tea room experience. I said to my friend it was like a food massage! Relaxing, delicious, and perfect atmosphere. Want to share this again with other friends.

The most authentic and relaxing place to experience and to enjoy a Royal High Tea in a Victorian Setting. Being there makes you feel like you are 'Somewhere in Time'. The food is excellent and more than plenty. We have been there twice now, once for a Valentine Day and a Christmas special event. The ladies there treat and make you feel like royalty. Would definitely encourage you to try Abigail's for your first tea. An afternoon you will never forget.

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. HOPING TO GO THERE AGAIN

I have been to MANY tea rooms. Since my first experience (on my anniversary), and ALL of my visits since that day, I have treasured each one. I am transported 'Somewhere in Time' and am treated royally. They have become 'family' in my book. I miss seeing Martha and Teresa. I have often recommended Abigail's Tea Room to my friends and family.

An aboslute, wonderful experience. Abigail's won't be a 'Best kept Secret' for long.

I will not be returning to this tearoom. Our recent experience at this tearoom has changed my opinion drastically. We had pleasant experiences there the past few years, but things have changed. It started when we went to make a reservation. We'd recently had my 1-yr-old nephew there (very well behaved, we wouldn't have taken him otherwise), but when I mentioned we'd need a high chair for this visit, I was told very firmly that they don't have high chairs. Confused, I inquired further, until I was told the one they had was broken and they would not be replacing it. The conversation continued with me feeling reprimanded because 'Do you really think bringing a child is a good idea? They don't have a very long attention span,' and basically telling me, without actually saying the words, that t... (more)hey don't want children in their establishment. I would have had more respect for them if she'd come out and told me that, rather than scold me and beat around the bush. She also spoke to me as if I were a child regarding the Groupon we'd purchased. Then we arrived for our lunch (sans child) only to be met with agitated and downright grumpy staff. I had to ask for water twice before I got it, and then had to ask twice again for a refill. Twice more, there were items people in my party needed, but our waitress turned and left before we could ask for it. And while tearooms are considered leisurely, and we usually enjoy it that way, we were left far too long between courses (even afterward when we wanted to pay) and it ended up making us feel as though we weren't getting the service we needed. It was not crowded the day of our visit, so there is no excuse for poor service. We also got the sense that perhaps Abigail's regrets doing the Groupon, because we got a negative vibe from them about it, both when we called and when we visited. Our experience was enough for us to decide we will take our business elsewhere.

Just a relaxing atmosphere and no pressure to leave. First time there and I loved every room. The people were very friendly.

This tearoom has a nice Victorioran atmosphere and serves a lovely tea. They also have a very nice gift shop.

I have been to other tearooms in the area. The quality of the food is definitely best at Abigales.
I went with three friends and all agreed. I will be going there again.The tearoom has interesting clothing,tea services and gifts at good prices.

....A Wonderful experience.....
...I felt as if I'd entered a secret hideaway.... =)
...Thank You Abigail's Tea Room

I felt like the lady of the manor-what a wonderful experience.
The atmosphere unbelievable, tea was excellent and the food marvelous.
It was a very special treat for myself and friend.
I plan on coming back with a group of friends so we all can feel special.

The girls and I had a delightful time. Thanks :).

My grandson and wife took me to lunch at Abigail's Tearoom for my birthday. I had heard the rave reviews from others in my family and they were right. Thr selection of teas was wonderful as was the food and the service was very good. The house itself, was magnificent. It makes you feel like you have taken a step back in time to the Victorian era. The gift shop is also lovely. I would have to say that Abigail's is the best Tearoom that I have had the privigege to go to. You won't be disappointed. I am a lover of tearooms and this on surpasses the many others I have gone to. Enjoy!

This was my first visit to Abigail's Tea Room and I can't wait to bring my friends back for a luncheon. Our hostess was very sweet and informative, our service was excellant and the food was fabulous. I would rate Abigail's at an A+. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

It was my 50th birthday I wanted it to be very memorable. Abigail's Team Room exceeded my expectations and my friends and family as well. One friend of mine's says she will never, ever forget this day at Abigail's Tea Room, neither will I. Thank you so much for making a a very memorable experience for my one in a life time 5oth birthday. It was held in a very classy, antique inspired beautiful establishment. I was so impressed with the hospitality, the history of tea, the table presentation, the dishes were pretty and fancy...a warm and inviting atmosphere. Your business is nicely price. My favorite sandwich was the Apricot sandwich on cinnamon bread. um!delicious...How impressive. I will tell all my friends about your creativity and my delightful experience. I can't wait to go to Abigail's Tea Room Teahouse again!

The decor and ambiance of Abigail's was exceptional! Our soup and sandwiches were perfect. I would have liked to take some along home.

I visit tea rooms all over the state and Abigails is overwhelmingly the most charming, and has the friendliest staff. I guarantee you will fall in love with the atmosphere of a quieter era!!

I have been to many different tea rooms through out the area and this is by far the best I have been too. The food is excellent and the decor is perfect. If you enjoy visiting different tea rooms you need to put this one on the top of your list!

Great atmosphere!

Abigail's Tea Room is the real thing. The manor house dating from 1883 is authentically restored and magnificently decorated. The tea service is exquisite and the food wonderful. The staff is very friendly and takes pride in their service. The little gift shop is lovely and has reasonably priced items all ladies will love. Abigail's is truly a gem in the heart of Reading!

This was a beautiful Victorian home that was tastefully decorated in the period. Their gift shop was wonderful and had a large selection of items reasonably priced.
The high tea was delicious and the wait staff was extremely pleasant.
If they offer the carrot soup by all means try it. It was delicious.
I've been to many tea rooms over the years as a Red Hat Queen Mother and I must say this was definitly on the top of my list.
I'll definitly return and tell my friends to come here as well.

We had an excellent experience at Abigail's Tea Room. My friend and I were very much looking forward to our afternoon tea and they completely exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, atmosphere and decorations were lovely, the tea was spectacular and they even had a very nice gift shop with many fun choices! What a delightful GEM to find in the heart of south central PA. Keep up the great work!

We were in the area and decided to stop and have a relaxing lunch. Even though we did not have a reservation they graciously found a table for us. The service,food and tea was excellent as usual.

My friend and I visited on a very busy Saturday with no reservations. They were so very accommodating with us walking in, but we will make reservations from now on to insure a spot, as we plan on making this a regular get together! We had a very delightful experience. The assortment of teas was large, the food was perfect and the little desserts hit the spot! We were offered additional pots of tea, and never rushed. Beverly and Teresa took care of everything. We will be back, thank you Abigail's! Well done!

Abigail's is my favorite tearoom of any I have ever gone to! The food is by far better and more plentiful than any other too! The staff and servers always go out of the way to make our visit a memorable experience, each and every time. This time my friend that I was meeting there for lunch misunderstood the time of our reservation that I gave her and she arrived 1 hour early and Abigail's had not yet opened for business. However, the owner saw her in the parking lot and invited her in to have a pot of tea while she waited for me. They even gave her the table that was reserved for us. She was treated wonderfully by the staff even though she was there an hour early. We had a wonderful lunch as always and lucky for me they had the loaded baked potatoe soup that I love so much...Yum, Yum!! Ano... (more)ther beautiful tea experience at Abigail's. Weboth signed up for the Candlelight Christmas Tea, which I highly recommend. We made it last year and we still talk about that evening to this day! This year we singned up for the Christmas Dinner? Something new for 2012? Bet it's going to be fabulous

We had a Groupon deal for Victorian Tea which we looked forward to using. The experience was good but lacking in some ways for one of the top-rated tea rooms in Pennsylvania. There were many teas to choose from but nothing special. Food was good; salad was lacking...no cheese or seasonal vegetables as stated. Service was not the best as we had to chase our waitress for water, additional tea and to clear our dirty plates. The table next to us came in after us but were cleared way before us. We were also unimpressed as all the staff were in either sandals or flip flops. It was a pleasant experience but I was expecting to be wow-ed and it wasn't a wow experience, it was just ok. Sorry.

I was very insulted at this tea room. I brought my two girls and their attitude towards children is horrible. My girls are well-behaved but they were eyed like criminals.
Won't go back. Nor worth the Groupon Deal.

I have been to many teas, and this was the best one I ever attended! The building and decor was absolutely beautiful, and the food was lovely.

Very friendly staff at Abigail's Tea Room. The Victorian decor was lovely. Our 5 course high tea lunch was wonderful and very filling. The meal included the best baked potato soup I've ever had!! (We'll return for that alone!)Our 5 sandwiches were delicious and came with a beautiful (and large) arrangement of fresh fruit. The three desserts were yummy. The only complaint I had was that the scone was a bit small. Overall, I highly recommend Abigails.

I am a fan of Abigails. No other like it, got to meet Holly! Rita & Bev are always welcoming, food is always excellent, gift shop offers an array of variety in items. You must visit!!

My first trip to Abigails transported me back to my living in England days. I loved Tea Rooms in England. Abigails met the high standards that I remembered. What first impressed me was the building. I then walked in and immediately felt like I was back in England. The walls, the ceilings, the beauty of your choice of colors, the tea cups, saucers, the whole Victorian experience. I spent 3 lovely hours with my Best Friend, enjoying your services. Everyone, please please make an effort to find Abigails. You will not be disappointment. You will find no other that leaves you with the experience of being in England..

This tea room is exceptional. The decor, food and tea were outstanding. I' m glad to have found this jem in the city were I live. This will be my 'go to' place for celebrating with family and friends.

It's was great! We had an amazing time with my sister & mother. I will be sure to come again.(:

My daughter, who was visiting from California, treated me to Abigail's Tea Room for Mother's Day and we had a wonderful time - the food, service and atmosphere were above and beyond our expectations. I plan on taking my best friend to Abigails for her birthday lunch.

may12th was a day out with a best friend and she surprised me with taking me to this beautiful tea room. what a wonderful experience.
anxious to return.

My friend and I enjoyed our luncheon tea as I have done several times previously. I always love going to Abigail's for the beautiful Victorian atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. The gift shop is always filled with lovely new items tempting me to buy.

may12th was my very first visit everto a tea room and it will not be my last.forgive me if i don't remeber the wervers name but she was new but that was not an issue, she was near perfect. thr owner Rita visited the table and was so nice and I cant wait to bring new costumers to the tea room.

Abigail's was a real treat and well worth the hour travel time! The tea was served in pretty china, and the food was fresh and very tasty. Our waitress was very attentive and encouraged us to tour the beautiful surroundings. My husband and I will definitely be returning for another lovely afternoon.

I celebrated my friend's birthday with three other friends at Abigail's Tea Room. It was a delightful experience. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the blueberry tea and the variety of the delectable tea sandwiches and the desserts. It was a memorable occasion and my friends loved it. I will go back again with other friends and relatives. It is best to go early because the parking lot is small, but there is free parking in the street.

In April I was invited to a bridal shower and I enjoyed every part of drinking hottea, to enjoying the delicious soup, sampling all the wonderful sandwiches, and the great desserts. I ate everything and didn't have one bit left to take home. I love Abigail's Tea Room and plan to visit this summer.

I'm a frequent tea-goer to Abigail's, and never had a bad visit! I recommend this tearoom to all my friends, and they are never disappointed! Always great service, relaxed pace, wonderful treats, hot tea, and so much more. A must visit.

I had a wonderful experience. The white chai tea was delicious. Food was served which included tea cake, scones, soup, tea sandwhiches fruit and dessert. I enjoyed everything and I will definitely be back!

We went for tea last Thursday and the experience was wonderful. The tea house is charming and the meal was delicious- especially the soup and tea sandwiches. We will be going back!

The Friends of The Reading Hospital and Medical Center have many requests for information and certificates for this Tea Room at their annual Garden Party. For years, the certificates have sold very rapidly. Our patrons to the Garden Party have nothing to say except positive responses. The facility itself is lovely and is truly a worthwhile experience for anyone visiting this establishment. In a hectic world, visiting Abigail's Tea Room is a wonderful, relaxing afternoon.
