British Pantry & Tea Garden Cafe

I live about a two hour drive from the British Tea Garden and can only visit about once or twice a year. It is worth the drive and I wish I lived closer! Tecumseh is a quaint little hisoric town with lots of fun events happening throughout the year. During the lunch hour the British Tea Garden is bustling with customers. It's good to call ahead for a reservation if possible. I love to visit with the owner Rochelle, who is very personable and takes time to assist, browse the gift shop to see what's new, stock up on tea and tea related items and enjoy some piping hot tea and choose from a viariety of food items. It's alway hard to decide just what to order because I want to try everything! My husband has even agreed to join me on occasion as men are sited in the cafe on a regular basis. H... (more)e and I both rave about the service and quality of the food. You must try the Asparagus Soup! I serve private teas in my home and this is where I purchase most of the loose teas I serve because of the selection, quality and price of the tea. I highly recommend the 'Sweet Sin' Rooibos, which I believe is their best seller. It's a great place to stock up on ALL the necessities for hosting a large proper tea or just an informal tea for two. I can truly say that this is a great place to visit. Try it, you'll like it. :-)

This is one of the best places that I have been for
tea and scones. They don't serve traditional high tea with the tiered service, but their good is fantastic. The tea pantry is not overly feminine which is nice for the guys and they offer a wide variety of things besides tea sandwiches. Their scones are literally the best I have eaten, and I have been to tea rooms across the US. They have an excellent selection of tea and they have a wonderful store that specializes in tea related things as well as traditional British foods and candies. I love this place.
