We had such a great time when we visited this lovely tea room. The food is fantastic, and the store has some truly fun 'stuff'. The chicken salad is the best in town. Our server was so very sweet and made us feel very welcome and special.

Dear 'Miracles'-- (I only wish this name was true!),
I am praying for such an unfriendly, cluttered, tea cafe, because that is what Ms. Sayles and her staff have made it into. So, so sad.
The food is BAD -- kind of unedible. Miracles' 'chefs' really just 'throw the food together.'
Ms. Sayles, a former dancer, walks around this tiny cluttered little food stop BAREFOOT!!!!! This is supposed to be a tea room, so unrefined.
Nevertheless, all staff members really take heed to my message, as Miracles may one day faulter. Customers may realize what is really happening.
Best wishes and true concerns to Miracles,
Patricia Allison Sciacca

+This little Tea Room is a delight. You enter the doors into a world of joy. It is filled with unique and fun shopping items and great books. The food is the best (especially the scones and the quiche), and the servers are so nice. This is one of my favorite places to lunch. I love it!

My daughter & I returned to this lovely tea romm 6/24/08, where we have enjoyed high tea many times. Unfortunately, a group of the Red Hat Ladies were there acting like a bunch of 5 year olds. They were yelling so loud that we couldn't even converse and had to leave. I suggest you call ahead and make sure they're not attending as this group had no consideration at all for anyone else

Tuesday was indeed a noisy lunchtime (which is unusual for our tea room)while the 'Zany Zinfindals' had their celebration. But I am so sorry that you needed to leave. Please bring a copy of this with you when you come back and receive a free 'special' of the day ... we would like to make it up to you.

We have a tradition of visiting different tea rooms with our 'winnings' each month. We were very enchanted by the gift shop and the tea room decor. These were the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food and service on our visit was just average - except for the scones - which were delicious.

When I read the review by Patricia my heart just broke. In no way does Maggie's Tea Room represent any of the remarks she wrote. I think someone is having a bad day.
She needs a scone...
The tea room in itself is eccletic. I walk in and I'm filled with enchantment. It reminds me of my Grandmother's house in Shannandoah valley, even to the smell. Lots of sweet things on display for sale. A wonderful collection of books that I could spend hours just browsing. Vintage purses and Jewlry that I just love. They also serve real British Devenshire. Amen.
I go with my good friend quite frequently to just get a peace of mind. I love their spice chai. And Jackie is the most sweetest lady alive.
I cannot wait to go back!

It was so very lucky that you came when you did ... the quiche , which seems to be a favorite, soon ran out. You will be pleased to know that we are considering making it a 'permanent fixture' to the menu in the fall.

We visited Maggie's Tea Room at Miracles on Saturday, WOW ... what a great place. You enter the doors into a little touch of heaven. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food is fantastic and the staff and the service are the best. There is a very neat story as to how the business was started ... a story everyone one should know. Visit Maggie's ... you wont be disappointed. I will certainly be a frequent guest. The 'Miracles Happen bracelets' are lovely ... I hope to be back to purchase one soon.

Being a lover of tea rooms, I was sad when my favorite closed it's doors. Luckily, I found tea map and this wonderful shop to help me enjoy a lovely lunch again. I visited today and drove from Palm Harbor to be there. Since it was a Monday, many tea rooms are not open. Lucky for us, Maggie's was ready to serve my friend and I. We loved the variety of teas. I enjoyed the Cranberry Autumn and my friend had the White Christmas. Both served hot. The food was very good. We had the Hearty High Tea and really enjoyed the desserts especially. I also had the mushroom brie soup and was quite pleased. It was such a pleasure to chat and sip tea from our ample pots over the candle-lit warmers. All of the staff were so pleasant it really made our day perfect. Of course, being able to shop after lunch in the Miracles store was even more wonderful. I look forward to visiting again soon and using my new VIP card! Thanks so much.

this is the best tea room in all of florida, in my opinion! everyone there is sooooo nice and the atmosphere is very welcoming. the first time i went there was something that i will never forget. And every time we were there is a moment to remeber.
And just to let ya'll know. the portions aren't that big, but they are filling! And thats because its a tea room. if you want to gorge your selves go to a buffet.
I luv this place, and since i am a semi-professional Ballerina, the food is very nutritious, in my opinion. So a.k.a, i love this place, and i think i have made my point that its THE BEST TEA ROOM IN FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

I also have been to this tea room and the food was great and the atmosphere very relaxing. The music was very calming and i never heard hip hop playing. They had very friendly staff. I agree with the other post on the reviews i think the person that posted a negative review is just being mean for no reason at all. I have seen the same name on several Tea room reviews and she never writes anything nice. SO try this tea room out you will be more than satisfied with the food,tea, staff and the cute things found in the store.

My dear sisters, daughter and niece planned a surprise weekend for my 60th birthday. Jackie, we consider her family as well, hosted one of the highlights and the end of our incredible weekend with High Tea at Maggie's. It could not have been more perfect! Your place is lovely and full of the Spirit. When the entire room sang Happy Birthday, my heart burst. Thank you Jackie and all the amazing gals and guys that offer this awesome experience.

We love Maggie's Tea Room and it's relaxing spiritual atmosphere. We live in the New Tampa area where this tea room is located. It's great for a nice lunch with friends. Even my husband likes going there!! I just found this website this afternoon and I am so pleased.
I DON'T agree at all with the comments from a previous post. I have been there at least 7 times and I've NEVER heard hip-hop playing. I seriously doubt that poster has actually been to Maggie's.
Best of luck! Tea sounds really good right now! I think I'll go to Maggie's tomorrow ... maybe my husband will join me!!

Ms Torres, you seem to go from tea room to tea room being very critical of most everything. What a sad thing that is when tea is a time to refresh and relax and enjoy it. All of these tea-rooms listed and spoken about are all wonderful tea rooms. Each unique in their own way. Some have elaborate furnishings with lots of money and some make their tea rooms as beautiful with their own creative flair. This time room does not play hip-hop....it has a more spiritual manner. your comments are mean, rude and completely unneeded by Tea Map.
tea tables for 2 or 3 are normally small as it is supposed to be a quiet, initmate affair.....not a large table.I am sure they would have given you a larger table if you had asked. Please don't go from tearoom to tearoom complaining when most of these businesses have very good reviews just to be mean spirited. Perhaps you own a tea room yourself?

I am a frequent visitor to Maggie's Tea Room. Whether I'm meeting a friend for lunch or spending time online writing, I've found Maggie's to be an absolute haven for my soul! I'm always warmly welcomed and treated like royalty. The food is consistently excellent. The staff is one of the finest group of people you'd like to know and make you feel like a welcome friend every time. The majority of the time I go to Maggie's by myself to work because there's nothing like sipping Jasmine tea from a china cup in a cozy atmosphere to help me focus and get centered. The setting is not stuffy, formal, or overdone, but delightfully refreshing. I've visited other tea rooms but always come back to Maggie's.
