Customers can be served either in the Scottish Room or the Garden Room. The Scottish Room has a traditional feel where murals of castles and glens of the highlands surround you on all four walls. The Garden Room is decorated with painted magnolias, beautiful birds and vivid butterflies caught in mid-flight. All of the tables are set with fresh flowers, silver plated flatware and pressed linens.
The lunch menu has something for everyone from traditional English fare to vegetarian choices. We serve lunch on cream porcelain dinnerware and during tea time our fine bone china is used to create a truly elegant experience. You may choose from patterns of lilacs, roses or violets acquired in honor of my grandmothers and great aunt.
We believe that afternoon tea is an experience of delicious food, bottomless tea pots, pleasant conversation and good manners. Our staff is very friendly, engaging and strives to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Visit us soon to enjoy a reprieve from today's fast pace world!
Lunch is offered Mon.- Sat. 11:00 - 2:00 p.m. and Afternoon Tea is served at 11 & 3 o'clock. Please call for reservations or for a schedule of upcoming events.

Food: I discoverd Crown & Thistle through Baltimore Magazine and it is a fantastic place to have lunch! The food is excellent! I had the cranberry chicken salad croissant and the tomato soup--both were delicious! Also, the atmosphere is very nice--much better than what you would get at a normal chain restaurant! I would highly recommend Crown&Thistle to anyone. I can't wait to go back! |

Food: I took my mother and some of her friends to C&T to celebrate her 70th birthday and everything was superb (atmosphere, food, service and tea). This was the first 'tea' that they had ever been to and they enjoyed every minute and morsel. The staff made my mother feel like a queen. I highly recommend this tea room. |
