Food: When we were looking for a tea room to host a Surprise 13th Birthday / Bat Mitzvah party for our daughter and 20 guests, we visited several places. Joanne was the most attentive host and answered every question I had. She has a beautiful tea room, but she doesn’t neglect details! Each room even has it’s own theme. We were very confident that everything would run smoothly. But Oh! Tea at Charlotte’s was BETTER than all of our expectations! Each table got to choose which teas they wanted to try. The Paris tea was lovely! We all shared teas and of the 3 I tasted, there were all wonderful. The food was delicious too. The dads loved the curried chicken salad! Certainly no one went away hungry! But even better than the food, were the waitresses! Joanne’s waitr... (more) |

Food: Yesterday I visited Charlotte's Tea Room and was delighted with the ambiance. The rooms (3 different themed ones) were impeccable. So, I was surprised not to find a selection of loose estate teas. I was served a pot of tea with only one bag in it. Management should note that (correctment if I'm wrong)tea bags, regardless of the maker, are designed for a 6oz cup of water. In addition, I was not provided with a timer for steeping or informed of time remaining. My poor girlfriend poured hers right away and tasted a full cup of water. When I caught the attention of another attendent, she did provide me with an additional bag of tea (problem solved). Shortly after the food arrived much to my pleasure. Very nice presentation the sandwiches well varied and tasteful. The quiche of the da... (more) |

Food: I had been to Charlottes a few times at the old location and loved the curried chicken salad and of course their tea! I brought some friends for lunch at the new location and everyone raved about the scones, sandwiches, and especially the home made desserts. As a special treat I brought my 9 year old daughter to lunch. We discovered the clotted cream and found it irresistable in combiation with the scones! The new location is charming and beautifully appointed. Best of all is the friendly staff. Joanne and her team make everyone feel welcome and pampered. I'm already trying to figure out who I can bring and when I can go again. |

In addition to its classic charm and style, Charlotte's is one of the few (and by far the best)full service tea rooms in the region. The service, food, atmosphere and, naturally, the tea, were all exceptional and worth returning for time and again. I look forward to introducing all my friends to this rare gem. |

Food: Charlottes Tea Room - THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE I was a regular visitor at Charlotte's former location, and was very excited to visit their new place, which is just up the road a bit. It's in a big, grand 'home', along the main street of Warwick, NY, nestled among other lovely buildings. Just a wonderful location with plenty of parking and a beautiful front porch where you can envision yourself having a delightful lunch and pot of tea in the upcoming spring weather (or on a cool Autumn day!). There are three amazing rooms inside: The Blue Willow Room, The Garden Room (where I sat) and the Library. All three are charming, inviting, warm and cozy. It's so obvious from the minute you walk in the door that the owner, Joanne, has put her heart and soul into the renovation of this '... (more) |

The owner, Joanne, surprised us by placing birthday balloons at our table and presented each of us with a tiara (which we wore during the entire meal and were allowed to keep!). We had the lunch for two which consisted of 12 different sandwiches, 2 raisin scones (not dry at all) with heart-shaped pats of butter plus jam, a pot of Earl Grey tea plus dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. And, our server was just lovely. The decor was so sweet -- I especially loved the pink tree decorated with Valentine items. Charlotte's is moving down the block and we can't wait to visit there as well. Thank you so much for making our birthdays a memorable one! Be back soon -- Joanne McE |

Food:  Had been to Charlotte's several times previously and was very impressed with quality of food, service, atmosphere, etc. Not so impressed on my last visit. Our party was seated at a table with barely enough leg room, and with a chandelier dangling close to our heads. Portions of chicken pot pie were small, as were dessert slices of cheesecake. Several of our party left hungry. On the plus side, the tea sandwiches remain excellent, our server was pleasant and attentive, and the tea room is clean and attractive. |

Food: Today I took my son and his friend out to tea. We were sat at the sweetest table with a chandelier overhead. For the kids, they offered a wee-tea that consisted of the sweetest sandwiches cut in the shape of hearts, pots of hot chocolate with a bowl of whipped cream on the side and dessert of their choice. My son ordered a brownie that came out so beautifully plated and warm! His friend had ice-cream served in a beautiful bowl as big as her head. They were in heaven. For my lunch, I ordered curry chicken salad on mini croissants which was fabulous! I also had Paris tea served in the most beautiful dishware. Besides the wonderful food and perfect tea room atmosphere, our waiter was lovely(I think her name was Mary). I love this place and can't wait to go back! |

Tearoom Response
So sorry for your disappointment - our signature Harney & Sons brand gourmet mixed teas are not served loose, but in silken bags to assure even distribution of the tea's various flavors and ingredients. We find most of our customers enjoy this consistency. Yes, indeed we do charge a modest extra for lemon curd, but not only because our prices are recognized as being truly reasonable and most of our customers do not request it; if served pro forma --it goes to waste. We do hope you enjoy your next cup of tea, where ever it might be served. And thank you for your visit.

Food: I have visited charlottes tea room on several ocassions various times of the year. Each time has been an acceptional experience. The wait staff is highly accomodating. I have brought a variety of friends, family,and colleagues who have had diferent expectations,tastes and appetites. ALL were please and SATISFIED. when you go out you wish an experience of delight, peace, and a moment away rom the every day hustle and bustle. Even while seated in a fully booked Charlotte's I could still hear my companion's conversations over good food with good service. I would not compare to another tea house. That would just remove it's individuality and uniqueness. If your looking for 'a chain' where everything is the same and service an essemblly line then No Charlotte's would not be for you. |

We ended up ordering mostly everything, soup, quiche and tea for two which includes scones, 6 different tea sandwiches and dessert(which we had to take home).

Food: Need more variety in food. There are people that like the atmosphere of tea rooms but not gourmet food. Don't forget about the picky eaters! The selection was limited. The servioce was friendly though. The space is a little too small for such a business. Try getting an older house with more rooms and more decorated just like the Tea Hive in Newton! Overall I found this tea room lacking and was very dissatisfied. The moment I opened the menu, my face scrunched up in disgust. So don't go to Charlotte's if you're hungry! |

Joanne welcomed us with warmth and friendliness. Mary, Queen of Scones, our hostess, was wearing an old-fashioned calico apron.... just like Mom's. We were served our own unique pot of tea and delicious scones w/clotted cream. A good time was had by all!!!! I returned in July with my grand- daughter, Taylor. We sat outside on the deck entertained by the ducks in the babbling brook below. Even the train made an appearance. Taylor was served a pot of hot cocoa w/whipped cream and heart-shaped finger sandwiches. It was Heavenly and will always be a special memory she shared w/her MiMi. So, kudos to Joanne and her wonderful staff: Mary, Lynne, and Joanne's daughter, Hayley. Bon Appetit! |
