The atmosphere is enchanting, the service out of this world, and the food mouthwatering. The Gift shop is delightful i wish I could have it all!!! I sit each week and think of who I can invite for tea. Everyone should have the opportunity to feel special and being at Abigail's couldn't get more special!!! |

Food: This has been the second time I took my husband to this tea room, and I can't say enough about it! The atmosphere takes you back in time, and it is a relaxing trip. Perfectly decorated, and every detail is captured. The food is delicious, and well presented, the tea selection is great, I have so many to choose from that it would be hard to pick a favorite. The service is great, and they dont rush you. This is a must visit tea room! I will be back many times. Thank you again for another wonderful afternoon |

Food: I was at Abigails with two of my friends on 9/6/08 and I enjoyed the experience immensly. It was an experience that I will not forget. They did not rush you and you had time to relax between each course. It was difficult to choose the flavor of the tea and the choice of tea sandwiches and deserts were outstanding. I would recommend anyone to go. |

Food: A pleasant, relaxing way to enjoy lunch or tea. The owners have taken an old home and turned it into something beautiful. The staff go out of their way to make everything right for you. The food is very good and there's plenty of it. I have been there several times and will go again. I especially enjoy having high tea with my daughter. It's a quiet time in her very hectic schedule, and just plain fun for me! |

Food: I went with a friend to check out Abigail's and it was an excellent experience! The staff was very pleasant and quick to take care of us! We never felt anything but relaxed, there was no feeling of being rushed. It was decorated beautifully and had a great gift shop. The food was delicious! The scones are outstanding and the desserts are truly yummy! Even the greens in our salads were crisp and fresh. We will definitley be returning to try another type of tea! Which won't be hard since they have a huge selection of teas to enjoy! It would also be a beautiful place to have a baby or bridal shower! |

Food: Abigails is a true Victorian Tea Room! The tea room is beautiful and the food,and service are excellent. The staff are very friendly and attentive; there is no rush to complete your tea. The tea was served hot which I like. This tea room was a long distance from my home and it took me over 2 hours to get there. It was worth the drive! I will definitely return. I encourage anyone who loves the art of tea to include Abigails Victorian Tea Room. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go again. Thank you ladies for such a wonderful tea experience. |

Food: A lovely tearoom in a refurbished 1880's Victorian house. Pretty decor with lots to see (and a small gift shop with lots to buy) Warm, friendly staff made us feel welcome immediately. Soothing music and a peaceful atmosphere... truly an escape from the noise and bustle just outside. Food was fresh and good....with lovely presentation. Herbals are nice for those who who want 'tea' without really having it. I would like to see more variety in loose leaf greens and whites. One last comment.... parking is extremely limited.... 4-5 car lot and crowded, busy street parking.. could be an adventure at times. Still, I will be a return customer |
