Overview
Belladonna Gift Boutique and Tea room is located in a renovated '1954 Storybook Home' painted in true Victorian Flair with purple, yellow and teal. Your experience actually begins with the fragrance of roses along the walk-way while discovering the teapot shaped cut-outs in the concrete. Don't miss the hardscape greeting around the bend - it is very colorful and full of sweet meaning.

First time visitors always catch their breath with surprise at the whimsical decor and enchanting aromas. The most delightful statement made was 'Oh my Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore'. Our gift boutique is overflowing with jewelry, victoriana, florals, shabby chic, hankies, gloves, tea sets, fine bone china and all the accessories to set the perfect tea table. We offer many 20% - 50% weekly discounts.
Our Belladonna Tea Room has over 100 premium loose leaf teas to choose from (creme brulee, chocolate raspberry truffle and coconut creme with kiwi and strawberry). We offer scones 'to live for', assorted tea sandwiches, salads, soups and desserts. Our soothing inspirational music, fine china, linens, hats and the special pampering received in our tea room set the Belladonna Experience apart. Please think of us when planning your baby/wedding shower, birthday and retirement parties, or just girl time.

Food: I would recommend Belladonna to anybody- even people who think they don't like tea, because I was one of those people. Donna has to be the most patient woman in the world to convert me. The shop is adorable and the tea room is a delightful dining experience. I had never been to a tea before, didn't like most activities that women delight in, but I enjoyed every moment of my tea time at Belladonna. I am working my way through all the teas now trying to find the perfect hot tea and iced tea. So far for iced tea my favorites are Cranberry Harvest and Huckleberry Retreat. I am still experimenting with hot teas but so far I love Creme Brulee and Apple Cinnamon Crunch. Donna does little things to dress up a tea. I loved the cranberries in the salad. I never thought of putting cranberries in a salad before. Well, I could go on and on but you just have to go try it yourself. If Donna can make me into a regular customer it's just possible that you will like it, too. |

Food: Donna is a special person who puts her special touch to all her Tea 'Parties.' My little 11 year old granddaughter when asked what she would like for her birthday replied, 'Please I would love to go back to the little tea house. (last BD we took her to Belladonna.) The experience so impressed her, she wanted to go back again. Callie is a little lady of a 11 yrs. They have a nice children tea, but this year she wanted the adult tea selection. For a young girl, Callie has a sophisticated pallet for so young eand she enjoyed every thing. When you enter the doors to Belladonna, you are greeted warmly and you see the gift shop with all its goodies before being lead to a cozy tea room. You can try on hats to wear or bring your own. And do check out the lovely bathroom. We can not thank you enough Donna for again making a beautiful memory for us. See you soon. Mrs. Deborah Mashore Mrs. Shirley Lewis and Callie |

Donna steered us in the right direction and we now have a whole new appreciation for tea after trying the Peach Brandy and Lavender Cream (I believe it was). In addition to the fabulous tea and the manner in which it was served (so unlike the tea bag in a mug method we are accustom to), the full tea also included scrumptious currant scones with devon cream and preserves, a lovely salad and an assortment of petite sandwiches, all made with creative ingredients, a beautiful presentation, and lots of TLC. Donna is delightful, knowledgeable about tea, and made us feel warm and welcomed. A fabulous experience all around. I highly recommend Belladonna Gift Boutique and Tea Room for first timers and seasoned tea drinkers. |

Food: Dearest Donna, I will never go back! I will warn all my friends, acquaintances and anybody who asks that the owner of Belladonna is a condescending, self-righteous hypocrite who thinks it's okay to yell at customers and bump their reservations for walk-ins. I know you will respond in the same snarky, pseudo-martyr tone that you always use but you know who you are. By the way this is a review site so don't berate people for being honest here. |

Food: I have been going to Belladonna's since it has been open 10 years. I have never felt so at peace as I do when I go there. Donna is a gracious and loving hostess as are all of the ladies who work there. Loving the Lord is so very much apart of the atmosphere that one can never be sad or gloomy once you enter the front door of Belladonna's. A 'peace' of heaven on earth is my feelings about this wonderful tea room. I will always look forward to going there and I love the feeling of 'being a lady' while I am there. I tell everyone I can about Donna and her tea room and we celebrate many birthdays with Donna. I just can not say enough about this tea room and it's hostess. You just need to experiance it yourself. Let the Peace of God fill your hearts and enjoy your life everyday! |

Food: A diamond in the rough! Situated right on the main street you would never have known it. Inside this place is bedazzled with every elegant tea accessory you can think of--most everything is half of for the month of February. The real charm is in the tea room experience. Shown into a small, cheerful setting I was offered to get into the spirit of the experience by selecting a 'tea hat' from right off the wall! I was offered a variety of teas (with a bottomless pot), scones, and sandwiches freshly made. Everything was promptly brought to me, and I was left to leisurely enjoy the scrumptious fare. This place is ideal for a dates, girl-friend gatherings, bridal parties, children's parties, christenings, or for an unforgettable cultured experience. |
