Food: The members of our Civil War Reeanactor's Group had a very plesant and enjoyable Tea at the Higinbotham's. The Home is charming, furnished beautifully, the owners and servers were most gracious and accomodating. The selection of Tea was beyond belief and the food was exceptionally prepared and the assortment wonderful. I know our group and I will be back again. I'm hoping to bring my cousins for a tea in the near future. I wish they would consider a 'cookbook'. Presentation was just perfect. |

Food: My friend and I visited on the 14th. The home and decor were beautiful, it felt like we had stepped back in time. We were seated in the library and had the room to ourselves. Initially we were disappointed to learn that we would only select one tea between the two of us and we would be sharing with a table in the next room. We had never been to tea room where your tea was not left on your table. However, we quickly overcame that when we asked for two teas, as our tastes are very different, and also asked to have pots left at our table. The hostess was very accommodating and cheerful about it. Everything else was absolutely superb. We started with a homemade scone, followed by a delicious summer squash soup. A plate of sandwiches followed, and although the 'traditional' tea sandwich... (more) |

Food: I visited this Tearoom with my sister in law and her friend last week. I was visiting from St. Louis, MO. It was simply wonderful! The varieties of teas and the presentation of all the teas, scones, fruit cup, soup, tea sandwiches and desserts were simply superb! When visiting Gettysburg, this is a must-do! The ambiance was so beautiful and we felt so relaxed, never felt rushed! The host and hostess were so kind and appreciative of their guests. I will definitely go back and recommend it to all my friends. |

Food: Having been to Higinbotham's Tea Room four times now, I have not been disappointed yet! Even with five courses each time, there has not been anything that I did not like! The tea choice list is extensive, and the scones are always tender and scrumptious. And the rest of the food has been fresh, delicious, varied - SUPERB!I have been to many other tea rooms and this beats them all by far. The atmosphere is so beautiful and relaxed. I can't say how I would make it any better, because I wouldn't change a thing!This tearoom is certainly a jewel in the crown of New Oxford! |

Food: I have been to several tearooms over the past several years with varying degrees of satisfaction. A long-time friend and I recently visited Higinbotham's Bed & Breakfast and Tearoom, and were completely delighted with the ambiance, the care given to setting a beautiful table, the wide selection of teas offered and absolutely wonderful lunch. With each and every course we were given a brief description of what was being served and suggestions of a complimentary tea. We felt so special - the service couldn't have been better. The lunch was absolutely top notch -- one of the best I can remember. Each course was unique and delicious. Take the opportunity to visit Higinbotham's Tearoom for a wonderful experience -- it was such a treat. I definitely will return the next time I visit New Oxford, PA. |

Food: What a delightful experience! This is a traditional style tea room where the food was delicicious, the decor charming, and our host and hostess were warm and friendly in spite of dealing with a larger group. Although only three teas were offered, they were all very good. Each food item we were served was delicious and left me wanting more. Not because there wasn't enough, but because it was so good. I highly recommend this wonderful addtion to this area's tea room venues. |

Food: I visited Higinbotham's last week with my parents and sister. I have been to many tearooms in my life and I must say this is one of my top picks. The food was very delicious and the tea always came out piping hot. The Owners were so kind and loving and always willing to be of any help to you. To say I'm not a big asparagus fan the cream of asparagus soup was tasty. I can not wait to go back and visit! |
