Cup & Saucer Tea Room

Mother's Day is one of the holidays I hate going out on becuase everything is 'off'. I have to applaud the Cup and Saucer for being 'ON' the food the service ...perfect. We all had a wonderful time.

Had such a good time at your restaurant and wanted to thank you for all the great information you gave us. We're definately bringing 'the Beast' our pug to Beacon Barks on Saturday. See you then.

Great food, great service, great tea.
That's all you need to know.

Are you kidding me! I just wanted to write a review for a tea room that I thought was outstanding.When I read the previous reviews I thought they must be thinking of a different tea room. Where I went today was wonderful, plaid tablecloths, decor etc. was beautiful. I also had a afternoon tea and don't understand the complaints one bit. My tea was hot and my sanwiches were tasty and desserts were yummy. If I lived near there I would I think I would go a lot.

Wow!! I am shocked at the two lastest reviews that the Cup & Saucer Tea Room received. I have been thoughly enjoying tea at this establishment for the past 6 years.Their selection of teas are enormous. They even give you a choice of tea pot sizes. So if your only looking for a spot of tea chose the small pot. If you love tea, as much as I do, than go for the large. You will get at least 4 tea cups full out of this size. I have also enjoyed the meals served there. Their homemade, yes I said homemade, chicken soup is as good as the memory of my mothers. My three favorite things to eat there are the freshly made bread pudding, the curry chicken salad, and the sheppards pie. All made by the owner, Shirley. I always bring friends and family there whenever they come to visit. The seating area is... (more) of medium size, which I prefer. The waitresses and waiters are always happy to serve and help you. Service may take awhile only because the food is made there and not processed from some warehouse. If you come to The Cup and Saucer you will never be rushed thru your meals. It is a place like no other. So come, sit back and let the grass grow under your feet like life was intended to be and don't even think twice about those bad reviews. Their nuts!!!

After reading all of the positive reviews about this tea house over the years, I was delighted to have the opportunity to bring my 2 children to the tea house on 2/18/12. My family and I have visted several tea rooms over the years and had high expectations for the cup and saucer. Unfortunatley this experience was very disappointing. I should have see the red flags when I saw the limited tea menu, or when the sugar bowl had sugar and sweet and low packets jammed into it. However, I hoped for the best. Aftenoon tea in the tea house resembled a hodge podge affair. The sandwiches not finger sandwiches, unless you are a giant. The scones resembled mushrooms with cream cheese in the middle and the desserts were dime sized hard as rock cookies, I think, and brownie bites that I am sure cam... (more)e out of a freihoffer snack bag. No vegetables, no fruit, that was it. Terrible disappointment. Oh sorry, did forget my dry egg salad sandwich had plastic in it which was brought back to me after I pointed it out only to be told it came from a toothpick???!!! My Advice, stay away and go to tea house in Peeeksill - Kathleen's is amazing !

I have been to about 10 tea rooms in the states and many in both France & England. After seeing all of the five star reviews on here, I was excited to try the Cup & Saucer Tea Room today with two friends. Unfortunately, It did not live up to all of this hype. ... The waitress asked for our order when I had barely even taken my coat off yet. When I asked if they used loose leaf teas, I was told 'no, not for the Afternoon tea party.' The grocery store quality tea bags are just left in the pot with no timer, no nothing, not even a place to rest the bags after brewing. The desserts included blueberry muffins (so odd?) and what appeared very much like store bought brownie bites one would find at costco. Also, they were out of BOTH quiche AND crepes? How bizarre. Not to mention that ever... (more)y table that came in while we were there did not get a hello but rather a waitress just pointing to a table for them to sit at. Again, uncomfortable. Now, the atmosphere had to be the most disappointing of all. Plaid table cloths with glass tops, a dusty piano in the back with board games scattered & really just sloppy in general. Lastly, how can you call it a 'boutique' when it is merely two counters pushed together selling mugs that say 'CRAZY CAT LADY' on them. Beacon is charming but I will never be back to this tea room.

I am loving it here. The food, the music, the atmosphere all come together in perfect harmony to make the most enjoyable meal. They have won me over.This is my new best restaurant in Southern Dutchess/Beacon area.

What a beautiful place this tea room is. I went there to discuss my soon to be daughter in law's Bridal Shower. Shirley was so helpful and talked about all the details with such professionalism. I am so happy I went and have decided this is definately the place to host the shower.

We just had our small christmas party here, and the food was amazing, the service was great and the atmosphere was very charming. I had a wonderful afternoon and highly recommend this place to every one looking for quality,taste and style.

Incredibly fun evening at the cup and Saucer Tea Room's Gingerbread House demo. My wife and I had a great time making Gingerbread houses and Shirley was a wonderful hostess, she was flitting from table to table commenting and helping every one. The baker Derek was very informative and was a great help. The whole evening was very special and we're definitely going to do it again next year.

Wednesday is the perfect day for my lunch club since we're older and most of us don't like to go out on the weekends. One of my ladies suggested the Tea Room because her grand daughter had been given a surprise shower there and commented on how wonderful it was. I was elected to post this review since I'm the youngest (63). We all had a great time, Joan our waitress is as old as we are and we enjoyed her tremendously. Of course the food and tea were good, as well as the atmosphere.

I live in NYC but traveled to Beacon to see my Aunt for Thanksgiving. She took me to the cup and saucer tea room for lunch as she knows I like a good cuppa. They had a wonderful variety of teas and I settled for the Pumpkin Spice, a warm fall flavored tea that hit the right spot. We shared a tea party for two which was delicious and oh so pretty.
I had a really nice weekend topped off by going to this tea room. I'm happy to think about my Aunt enjoying her tea etc. when I think of her.

Stopped in with my Mother to see if we would host my sister's Baby Shower here, I'd seen it on facebook and it looked cute, but you never know until you go in person. I don't live in the area but came home for Thanksgiving, so it was the perfect opportunity to stop by. They where busy and we waited a few minutes for our food but we enjoyed everything we ate. Then when it slowed up a little Shirley was able to come out and talk to us about the shower. I am so happy we decided to go in, Shirley was so gracious and helped aleviate any doubts we had about our party. So we booked it today and I can't wait until March.

We went to the benefit at the Cup and Saucer Saturday, and had the best time. The music and food were top notch. I am amazed at the quality of product we were served for the price. I am on the list for the next event but won't wait until then to go back. Did I say how outstanding the music was.

We had a great time Sunday, the food and tea were fantastic, we wanted to thank you for your hospitality. We will definately be coming back regularly.

Thank you so much for the wonderful way you handled my grand daughters birthday party. She can't stop talking about it. I have never seen her so happy! Your staff was exceptional and interacted with the children with patience and grace. Bless you for creating such a special day for Katie.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and very good service. I love this restaurant and tea room and will visit every time I am on I84 from Boston to Scranton.

I can't tell you strongly enough how much I love this tea room. I have been on several occasions and never, ever, had a bad experience. The food,service and atmosphere are exceptional. I will keep going back as often as I am in town.

I had my daughter's Bridal Shower here and everyone had a wonderful time. The service was excellent (Adam you did a great Job!). The food was excellent (thanks Shirley) and the atmosphere of this little shop was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this Tea Shop. Thanks again to Shirley and Adam for a wonderful time!!

I hope to be going to the tea room very soon, I tried some of the scones they make that where donated to the city of Beacon for Appreciation Day, and since the scones are that good I'm heading up there for lunch.

Have you seen Beacon lately. It's awesome. My friends and me went to Beacon to see there Windows on Main art show and were totally surprised at how bohemian and funky the town has become. I don't live far (Wappingers) but rarely went to Beacon years ago, but I will be going all the time now and to top it off going to the Cup and Saucer was a special treat. The food the teas all of it was great. They where very very busy and we had to wait a while for the food but I can tell you it was worth the wait.

We just had the most delightful time at the tearoom when we went to my cousins shower, I just had to tell ya all.

Had a great time with great food and beautiful music playing through the restaurant. Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Love, love, love this place!

I stopped into the Cup and Saucer while waiting to meet friends. I just wanted a little something. The sweetest server, I think she said her name was Sara, told me the specials which all sounded very good, but I was meeting friends so I wasn't staying for food. Sara also told me the beverage special which was a razzle basil lemonade which was all that I wanted. What an unusual refreshing drink, not sweet and syrupy as you'd expect lemonade to taste, but crisp and aromatic. I love it! Called my friends and told them to meet me at the tea room where we all enjoyed the razzle basil lemonade before heading to the Dia museum.

We had our Shower at the Cup and Saucer last Saturday. Shirley was so accomodating and a real hostess. She helped me every step of the way. Even to matching the flowers on the tables to our colors.
I have always loved it there and am so happy I decided to have the party there. I still keep gettig compliments on the Shower

On a HOT day after being in the scorching sun, what a relief it was to go to this charming little tea room. The iced tea was cool, refreshing and very tasty, also very good food. A nice place to relax on a hot day or anytime.

Came to Beacon and stayed at the Swann Inn B+B. Beautiful place, the owner reccommended the Cup and Saucer as a great place to have lunch (or tea). So we stopped before our hike up Mount Beacon.
Evrything was fantastic from the food to the service. I also highly recommend this place.

Tried out the tea room this afternoon for the first time, I found a coupon on Facebook for free dessert with a frend because it was National Best Frend Day. I had a wonderful lemon berry cake and my frend had the strawberry crepe. We already decided were going back next week with a couple of other frends for tea.

We just had our Bridal Shower Saturday,over the Memorial Day weekend and had the best time. Family came in from all over the country to celebrate my cousin's joy. Shirley helped us get through the planning and kept every one calm. We were thrilled with the result because every one left thanking us for a wonderful party.

This place is fabulous I'm taking all of my friends here.

I completely agree with the other reviewers. I was hoping that the tea room was as good as the reviews led me to believe. I have been to a couple of places I'd seen on this site and I wasn't totally dissapointed but I wasn't quite as enthusiastic as some of the other reviewers. I definately was not the slightest bit dissapointed with this lovely tea room. Every thing from the teas, food and service was wonderful. I too will be going back regularly.
