Cross and Bluebird Tea & Gift Shops

I had a wonderful birthday celebration here with my family and friends and we LOVED, LOVED, LOVED our experience. Everything was exceptional from beginning to end. The owners (Laurie and Roger) really create a beautiful atmosphere. You can see the love that they have shine through in their food..simply divine!! I even found myself enjoying a sandwich that had black olives in it and I HATE black olives!! We already booked a return trip.

Having never been to the Cross and Bluebird Tea Room before, we drove up from Fairfax, VA to do some shopping at the outlets and then we went for Tea.
What a wonderful Tea experience we had! Starting with scones and tea, two kinds of scones were served with the best lemon curd we ever tasted! Roasted cauliflower & cheddar soup came topped with homemade croutons. A fresh tropical fruit salad was served in glass tea cups! Then came a tiered tray of tea sandwiches, some of which we had never tried before. As if we didn't have enough, we were served a lemon-blackberry roulade for dessert! Several teas were served, all very good, and hot.
We all agreed. The Cross and Bluebird Tea Room is our new favorite!
We will be back again - soon!

We had a delightful visit to the Cross and Bluebird tea room for my Mom's 72nd birthday. The food was delicious and decadent, the service cheery, and the tea divine. Laurie and Roger even celebrated with us by singing 'happy birthday' complete with a candle on the scrumptious cheesecake! We will definitely return again.

My friends and I love to spend an afternoon together enjoying tea at Cross and Bluebird. Laurie and Roger are wonderful hosts and Laurie prepares tea like none other. The atmosphere is calming and when you combine all theses things together it makes for an enjoyable tea experience. Cross and Bluebird is a tea room you don't want to miss out on.

Thanks so much for the wonderful Tea and the fun getting to know the ladies who gathered around the table.
Also for the delicious Tea, scones, salad, soup and dessert.
Seeing the Civil War artifacts which were excavated was also a treat.
Meeting the Editor of 'Tea Time' magazine was also very special.
It was a wonderful day!

Spent a fabulous afternoon with my good friends at the Cross and Bluebird Tea Room last Friday. We loved everything about it! The atmosphere was very pleasant, the service was exceptional, the food -there are not enough explitives to describe the food that we were served! The pumpkin spice scones were the best we ever had! A variety of hot teas were served along with the history of the farm.
An exceptional afternoon was had by all of us! We will be back-soon!

This is not your average tea room. Laurie and Roger have created a truly 'one of a kind' experience. The minute you step foot onto their property, you KNOW you are someplace very special. And the food is outstanding...all from scratch and some of it home grown. From the flavorful soups and sandwiches to the delicious desserts, YUMM. Oh,and those peach cobbler scorns are incredible. There's even a 'doggie box' for left overs. You will be filled... body and soul.

I decided to bring my four daughters and their six daughters to Tea at the Cross and Bluebird Tea Room this summer. Not sure what to expect, we were 'wowed' from the moment we arrived at the door to the last 'good-bye' at the gate as we left.
The service was just great. The food was out of this world! The birthday cake, homemade coconut,a family favorite, was the beat we ever tasted!
We all sampled 4 differant teas during the meal, Paris tea was our favorite!
Roger's history account of the town and The Tate family was amazing, even the girls were intrigued. The gardens were lovely too.
Thank you for a very special afternoon!
We all will be back again for the holidays!

I was visiting from S.F. with my best friend who lives not far from the Cross and Bluebird Tearoom. We absolutely loved it! Laurie & Roger were delightful hosts, who made us feel so comfortable and welcome. We completely enjoyed the delicious teas they served, the truly heavenly food they made, the stories they told, the tour of the historic grounds, the really fun giftshops, and their very gracious company. Do yourself a huge favor and run, don't walk, to the Cross and Bluebird for a very special afternoon treat!

I've been to this tea room twice and loved it both times. Just made reservations today for my third visit -
