Cottage Cafe' of Largo

last wednesday we had 24 for our ladies luncheon who had never been here before. the food was excellent and we had never seen a nicer assortment of fruit and salad with our meal. we were amazed how fast we were served, we kept looking at each others plate as it came out as it all looked so good. and so much. we were impressed.

I have to thank everyone at Cottage Cafe for the wonderful High Tea we had on 9/3. This was a belated birthday gift from my friend and her daughter's first tea. The presentation, variety and quality of the food was amazing as was the tea. I love the surprise of having each course presented separately, it's makes the experience soo much fun!! The service was friendly and I have to again thank you for accomadating my food allergies a rare service to find these days. The decor is vintage, fun, whimsical and adds to the experience. My friend and I have been many places for High Tea including the Vinoy and the Grand Floridian and we both agree this was the best food, service and time we have ever had. Now my friend's daughter understands why we love going to tea. It's a wonderful time to spend relaxing, sharing and laughing while having amazing food!

One of my favorite places in Largo. Wonderful atmosphere; delicious, well presented food; and a wonderful assortment of antiques and collectibles. Be sure to allow plenty of time to enjoy all this Cafe has to offer.

My mother and I went to this spot for lunch on a rainy afternoon. The place was very cozy and comfortable. The house decaf tea is wonderful and the food was yummy! I had the quiche and tomato bisque, while my mother got the salad sampler which was very good. We will be returning!

A mans point of view. My wife wanted me to take her to the cafe for her birthday. As we entered the door i was happy to see two to see two men. Yes men dooo eat here. I ordered a big boy breakfast and my wife had quiche. I could hardly eat it all and yes it was lovely and great. So i will return and try another mans meal i hear it's always great and debi the owner made me fill quit comfortable . Lester

My friend Joyce and I went to the Cafe last Saturday, 5/21/11 and had a very enjoyable tea. Everything was presented beautifully. Our waitress was very friendly,helpful and courteous. And best of all she didn't rush us. We'll be back again. Thank you once again for a lovely tea. Nancy

I AM THE MOTHER OF THE OWNER DEBI. I WAS VERY PROUD TO BE THEIR ON MOTHER'S DAY AND SEE SO MANY PEOPLE ENJOYING THEIR SELVES.
MY FOOD WAS JUST GREAT BUT I LIKED THE DESSERT THE BEST I REALLY HAVE A THING FOR SWEETS AT MY AGE. THE CUTE LITTLE WAITRESS DENISE IS ALWAYS SO NICE TO ME AND I LOVE IT WHEN HER DAUGHTER RENE' THERE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THE BEST DAUGTHER MOM

The uniqueness of the Cafe itself is both charming and warm. I love to just sit and look around at all the items that create the ambience of the Cafe. Mother's Day was a joy. The Cafe was quite busy but the food and camadarie was excellent. The Cafe is a must for me always.

My husband I decided on this tea room to spend Mother's day with my mother-in-law. It was a great place to sit and relax and she really enjoyed looking at all of the tea pots, hats, etc. I had a yummy slice of quiche that was served with more fresh fruit than I've ever been served. My mother-in-law had curry chicken salad in a canteloupe and she ate ALL of it:-). The place was packed but the food still came out rather quickly. I hope to make this a Mother's day tradition. Thank you!

I took my mom here for mother's day and we had a great experience as always. The atmosphere was cheerful and the generous portion of food was delicous with a beautiful presentation. We will definitely celebrate mother's day here again next year.

Weve been here twice before for tea on mothers day and were pleased however today was very dissapointing. Had reservations and they seated us right away. The tables next to us were both dirty for a 1/2 hour and our tea pot was dirty at our table as well as the dish they put the food on. She didnt tell us what the tea was. The scones were store bought, there was actually a Entenmanns donut cut up and we asked about it but they avoided the question. The food took entirely to long in between courses and the desserts were also store bought and just cut up. Window sill was dirty with dust and dead flies I was sitting right next to. We asked for dishes and silverware and our waitress asked us why we needed it for finger foods. Really? Because its messy and I dont like eating off the table. We had been looking forward to this because we usually enjoy it once a year but unfortunatelty it was a let down to say the least.

I took 3 friends there on Sat May 7th in celebration of Mother's Day. VERY disasspointed with service. We had reservations and when I made reservations I was told they would be offering regular menu & when we got there there was limited Mother's Day menu. Lunches came out at different times. Awkward! Was disappointed in the experience. Gentlemen that served us lunch had on a very dirty soiled t-shirt that looked like he was also the dishwasher. I was with several elderly women who are use to quality service. Had chicken curry in cantelope & chicken was tuff. Overall visit - Very poor. They need more staff. I understand it is not fast food but lunch for 4 of us took almost 2 hours. Not a good experience.

One of my favorite places in Largo. Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and a wonderful array of antiques and collectibles. The absolute best of all worlds for most women - at least it is for this woman!

I absolutely love the food and atmosphere of this adorable and quaint restaurant, including antique shops.... A wonderful place to eat and visit, I highly recommend it to all!

Cold raspberry tea and own special blend for hot tea - both very good.
Quiches were delicious also the salads always fresh and yummy!
Had great time with family visiting from Tenn. sister, daughter-in-law and Grand neice - trying on darling hats!

AWESOME! Visited Great Aunts in this area and made many memories. My daughter and I have become hat collectors. The food was divine as well as the service. Thank you for helping us enjoy our vacation!

This is a very special Tea Room. I arrived with a reserved party of 24 people to smiling faces and welcoming greetings. The tea was excellent and our waitress DID explain the type of tea that we were being served. She may not have poured the tea into our cups, we were all quite capable of assisting ourselves. All of the Tea goodies were excellent with plenty of scones, sandwiches and desserts. I introduced myself to the chef and complimented her on her wonderful concoctions. The service was good considerating the balancing act of serving not only our group but others who came for their lunch. This is not a fast food hamburger establishment but a refined relaxing, no rush Tea Room. I would recommend this 'Special Little Gem' to everyone. By the way, this was my second time with a large group and the second time was as enjoyable as the first!

Food is good and enough of it, but service is something they need to work on. We were there for a very special tea party that was suppose to take one and a half hours (2 hours top) we where there for a little over three hours. Waiting and waiting between courses, I finally had to go tell them we were ready for the dessert it was taking so long and my guest where having to leave. It would have been nice if they could of poured our first cup of tea and explained what kind it was. Then when they brought in the scones they could have explained a little of what they are. When they brought in the different sandwiches and we asked about them, they where placed in the center of the table and she had no time to tell us about them. They booked to many tea party's at one time (even though the ... (more)owner told me they would only book one tea party during the lunch hour), she had my group of 10, plus 12 in the green room, and 6 in the small tea room. There was also the every day lunch trade going on with only two lady's to do all the cooking and serving.

Some suggestions, when you bring the tea in pour the first cup for your customers, take the time to explain about the different scones you just placed on the table, and the same with the different sandwiches and deserts. Please do not book more than you can handle, I do believe serve is just has important as the food to get your customers to come back.

I first visited the Cottage Cafe with a group of friendly women fr rom Belleaire, Florida. They welcomed me, the snow bird, into their social network. This cottage is a feast for the eyes. something to trigger memories in every corner, it was lovely. I have been back 3 times. Each time I have company from NY, I make it a point to take them to the Cottage Cafe. The women who own it are also delightful.....

Great food for the price! $20 per person, and you get four courses. Wide variety of tea sandwiches and unique flavor combinations. Nice seating arrangements, and lots to look at inside!
They offer their own flavor of tea, which is a blend. Very fruity and delicious! I did not even have to use sugar or cream, the flavor was great all by itself!

My wife and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat. I was pleasantly surprised they had food for a man too. It wasn't just cucumber sandwiches. We found this place on teamap.com when visiting friends in Largo. Thank you so much Debbie your the best.

What a wonderful 'tea party'. The food was outstanding and such a variety. The plate of 'kid friendly' sandwiches was unexpected and the 2 8 year old girls just loved it. The attention to details was remarkable and service superior. Everything far surpassed my expectation. I enjoyed every minute of our tea and will enjoy bringing my friends there. And your lunches are just as terrific too!! Thanks Denise and Debi for a wonderful afternoon.

We just returned from Tea at the Cottage Cafe and it ranks right up there with our fist Tea party in Victoria, British Co. The food was fantastic-we had a hard time figuring out what was best. We had 5 adults and 2 grandkids and we ate and ate and still brought home 2 containers of food. We had our own private room, their brand of tea which all of us agreed was fantastic and a great variety of sandwiches. The cucumber sandwiches were absolutely the best any of us have eaten. They even had a tray of special kid friendly sandwiches- all for $20 a person. We will make this our special occasion cafe.

Thank you so much.
