Miss Spenser's Special-Teas & Bed & Breakfast

I used to have tea parties with my grandma when I was younger, and Miss Spenser's Tea Room was like re-living an old memory! The strawberry soup was perfect, the sandwiches were cute AND delicious, and the tea was the best I've ever had. I loved all of the beautiful dishes and antiques they used to decorate. It was also great visiting with Miss Spenser and her mom and hearing about their love for tea, England and each other. :)

I can't wait to come back again!!

My first visit to Miss Spencer's was in April and it was unforgettable! So much so, that I was just there yesterday and will be going back again next month. This is the most charming and lovely of tea rooms I have visited. Miss Spencer's is like walking into a scene from Jane Austen. In everything, it boasts of English elegance and refinement. The beautiful presentation of the room tables was so inviting. The pleasing teas and the delicious edibles and sweet treats are served on gorgeous heirloom china. Lady Donna and Miss Spencer are graceful and attentive hosts. They make you feel so special and welcome. I adore Miss Spencer's Special-Tea!

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as tea. -- Henry James

And few tearooms where the atmosphere and fellowship are more agreeable than in New Virginia. A Mother's Day tradition, to honor my own dear mother.

...by the way...the Titanic Tea was the BEST, rivaling Out of Africa!

Love,
Deb

You know how I feel about you and the tea room. Wow! How is it possible to top yourselves time after time, and I'm speaking as someone who has enjoyed more than 20 Miss Spenser teas. However, the Titanic Tea on April 14, 2012, the 100th anniversary, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Thank you Donna and Miss Spenser for all that made that day so special.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience, this is the 1st time I have been to such an event, everything was so good, the delightful food, the charming setting and how gracious your family was. Your family speaks volumes of how well they have been taught. I plan to bring some of my family with me the next time I come.

Who knew that in the beautiful rolling hills south of Indianola, IA a charming tea room exists. One that takes us back to the gentile days of beautiful afternoon teas with sparkling table settings,china tea and delectable tidbits. The Titantic Tea was a wonderful treat. Miss Spenser's monologue skillfully carried us back 100 years to the lives of those dear ones on the ship.
Thank you Donna and family for a memorable experience!

I had the great opportunity to attend your Titantic Tea with a friend, Linda. It was such a pleasant experience! The food was wonderful, especially the Waldorf Chicken Salad Croissant. The talents of your family is awesome. I have already shared the delightful experience I had with others.

What a treat! Thank you, thank you Donna & Miss Spenser! I just wished I lived closer so I could come more often. My friends and I, all coming from different parts of the country, were meeting in Lamoni to see the one room schoolhouse that had been restored and moved to the visitor's center in Lamoni by one of them. I had read about Miss Spenser's Tea Room in my October issue of Tea Time magazine! We made reservations for tea while we were in the area last week. What a treat....the tearoom is lovely--decorated so tastefully, the food very yummy and lovingly prepared! We felt so special thanks to Donna & Miss Spenser's! What a treat for Iowa folks.

Once again, I was blessed to be able to have tea at Miss Spenser's. Today was their Titanic tea-it was wonderful!! The attention to detail was beyond amazing- from the tea, the food and the amazing historical details-the tea today was great (as always!).
If you have not been to Miss Spenser's, you need to put it on your to-do list, you will not be disappointed!!

What a treat on a sunny April day in Iowa. The location was so interesting and the tea room was splendid and we will go again in May with a group. We visited the B&B and could imagine ourselves staying there.

Our group felt pampered by the warmth and attention to detail that Donna and Miss Spenser provided. The food was delicious and the atmosphere refreshing and relaxing. I definitely recommend Miss Spenser's!!

Miss Spenser's Special-Teas & Bed
& Breakfast is more than a perfect cup of tea, tasty food women love to eat in a beautiful Victorian Tea Room. It is a place where you get to slow time down a little, sit across from the people you love and enjoy their smiles and their words. The face reveals so many more words than are said and when you have tea together you get them all. Miss Spenser has the most delicious buttery scone I have ever tasted. Iowa has been blessed by the Hardin Family and thier Tea Room.

It was definitely worth the trip from Des Moines, and I look forward to coming again soon. My six-year-old daughter is begging to come this time!

Everyone at Miss Spenser's Special-Teas is so friendly and helpful, making tea an enjoyable event. The food is fantastic and Miss Spenser's scones are just the best. The tea cup is always full of delicious tea and the room is decorated like no other.

Our experience at our tea/lunch was wonderful. A BIG HUGE Thank You to Ms. Donna and Ms. Spenser. I appreciate all the work they went to, to prepare for our time with them. The food was wonderful and the tea very enjoyable. Our time with them was most enjoyable. It was such a nice break from the busyness of life. A taste of England right here at home. Thank you so much for making our special time..extra special. We will definately go back for a visit again.

As always, I had a wonderful time at Miss Spenser's. The Irish Tea on St. Patrick's day, was amazing as always. The tea, the program, the tea food, and friendship was truly amazing and wonderful. I was also lucky enough to get to see the new Bed and Breakfast- if you are looking for a B&B to go and visit- you must go try the one at Miss Spenser's!!
If you haven't had the experience of having tea at Miss Spenser's you must put it on your to-do list!! You won't regret it.

Dear Don, Donna, Spenser and boys,
Words to describe our experience at the St.Patrick's day Tea....delightful, enchanting, inspiring...Thank-you for meeting us in the driveway...making special birthday tea bags for my March birthday friends and sharing the story of God's blessings throughout the tearoom venture. I can't wait to bring my next group of friends!

Ah, such a fine time was had by old friends at the Irish Tea on St. Patrick's day at Miss Spenser's tea room! Excelling in every detail, it was relaxing and a joy to be there! Loved looking out across the rolling hills of Warren County - kind of gave us the feel of Ireland scenery. And your bed and breakfast is beautiful! Thanks Donna, Spencer, and 'the boys' ~ great as always! Shelly

The special valentine tea was very special indeed! My mom loved the food and the wonderful harp music courtesy of Miss Spenser, herself. I so look forward to the next tea time with the Hardins.

Oh how I love coming to Miss Spenser's!! From the moment you pull into the drive, you are welcomed by warm smiles. I love getting to come and spend my time here- I'm surrounded by wonderful friends, I know I will have a wonderful time.
I was lucky enough to bring my friend's 8 year old daughter with me to the Valentine's tea, and the entire Hardin family went out of their way to make sure she had a wonderful time, you can't say that about many places, and you don't find that to be true about many places.
Make sure you come and visit Miss Spenser's, you won't be sorry you did!!

I attended the Valentine lunch yesterday and it was delightful as always. Good food and entertainment-- the weather cooperated with us and made the trip a good one. The sweet potato pear soup is great!!!

This tea room is wonderful. The hospitality is so charming and warm.The food is delicious and plentyful. My husband and I enjoyed the bed and breakfast and was given such a warm welcome. Thank you Donna and Spenser.

DEEELIGHTFUL!! The entire event of traveling and experiencing the pretty and peaceful tea room is a wonderful feeling, one that you would want to give all people you love in your life. It is a memory that every friendship should be able to recall. From the welcome of the young parking attendant to the tasty meal and never ending tea - then to the 'good-byes and hope to see you again', the time is well spent. I am sure that as you drive away, you will be looking forward to returning soon.

Coming into Miss Spenser's Specials Teas was a very special experience. It was very enchanting. It made me forget that I was in Iowa.

I had tea again at Miss Spenser's Special Teas and again it was so much fun! The food is fantastic and the china, lighting, welcoming attitude, and super performance of Mrs. Cratchit by the talented Miss Spenser is the best way to kick off the holiday season. The tea is so good, plus the cup is never empty. Keep doing what you do, it just makes my day.

I live and work in the hustle and bustle of the city (Des Moines) so I cherish my time at Miss Spencer's Special-Teas. As I head south on Interstate 35 I'm still wrapped up in the hustle and bustle (70-75 mph). Finally, the exit, I will now be able to slow my pace and start my scenic drive to my destination, teatime at Miss Spencer's. You've just GOT to experience it for yourself, folks!

Miss Spenser's was the perfect outing as a treat for my mother and her friend. The warm hospitality, delicious food and tea, service, and delightful entertainment with Mrs. Crachit made for a special time to remember. Even though the drive was worth it, I wish this unique treasure was closer to Des Moines because I would be booking many events there. It is absolutely charming.

Miss Spenser's has a wide variety of whole leaf, specialty teas, and the pot is 'always on!' My cup is never empty, be it tea cup or heart, while visiting Miss Spenser's, for the atmosphere is welcoming and warm while the tea is piping hot.

As always, the beautiful balance of sweet and savory are positioned perfectly on tiered trays, topped with Englishman-approved scones, accompanied by whipped cream and either jam or lemon curd. I know Donna takes great care in preparing these delicious dainties, in planning as well as serving.

Both Spenser and Donna have an eye for detail, from the table settings, to the decor of each season (in this case, Christmas), to excellence in theme. During this event, our special guest was Mrs. Crachit, famed wife of Mr. Bob Crachit, the ... (more)fortunate employee of a truly changed man! Creative and faithful to the story of Dicken's 'Christmas Carol,' and all developed and portrayed by Miss Spenser herself, it was a feast for the heart and mind to listen to Miss Spenser--aka Mrs. Crachet--dramatize the story of the Christmas Carol from a wife and mother's perspective.

Greeted with a welcoming smile by every member of the Hardin family, the service in this tea room is unmatched. The drive through the country helped me to let go of busy city life, and I left full in tummy and refreshed in heart! Mr. Don was so gracious to help each lady in need, as it was pouring buckets on the day we visited. Although I don't think he spread his coat over any puddles, he most likely would have if the need had presented itself!

If you are in need of a respite and would like to enjoy a choice cup of tea, Miss Spenser's is worth the drive! Both Spenser and Donna are quite knowledgeable about whole leaf teas from around the world, and they offer a wide variety to sip and purchase.

Bouquets to Miss Spenser's Special Teas for a perfectly delightful lunch and performance of A Christmas Carol by Mrs. Crachit, who is Miss Spenser! Her talent is above and beyond. The entire family participated in serving the food and tea and making us feel welcome! I would highly reccomend it to anyone looking for an authentic English Tea experience!

There are not enough accurate words to fully describe how wonderful Miss Spenser's is. From the moment you pull into the driveway, you are greeted with a warm smile, to the minute you walk out the door, you are left with a warm smile. Miss Spenser's is a true Iowa gem, somewhere everyone should go. The decor is amazing, the entire Hardin family goes out of their way to make you feel important and welcomed in their home. Tea at Miss Spenser's is a true experience.

Always a treat to arrive at Miss Spenser's where they greet you with a hug and welcome back. As usual Spenser was wonderful at the Christmas tea along with the tea and food, a great way to get into the Christmas spirit, can't wait to go back

Miss Spenser's provides serenity,joy,kindness and peace to all who visit the Tearoom. Blessed by God, the ladies share their love and talents with others. God Bless You!

Great way to kick off the holiday season! -Relaxing with a friend and enjoying a wonderful program by Mrs.Crachit. Miss Spenser always does a great job and the food is as usual excellant! Thank you Donna and family for such a pleasant few hours on a cold blustery day!

We enjoyed 'Teatime with Mrs. Crachit' during our tea. Everything was wonderfully presented, the food and tea were delicious, it was a delightful evening!

Haven't been able to come back since my first visit, but was quite impressed. Email all my lady friends the emails I receive about up coming events. The teas are quite unique.Fun and some cultural.Performances excellent.

I have attended several teas at Miss Spenser's and when I leave I am always thinking about and planning for the next tea adventure! The wonderful teas and food, the relaxing,inviting atmosphere and the warm hospitality are a rare treat in our hectic and stressed world! I can't wait for my next tea time!

After attending the Holiday Hodge-Podge Tea, I have several ideas for decorating and entertaining. Donna & Spenser both shared many unique ideas and recipes with us and they were all ones I had never seen or heard before. The huge Buffet table was loaded with so many delicious choices that I had to do some calculated arranging to fit it all on my plate. The food is NEVER a disappointment and is always looked forward to with EAGER anticipation. The atmosphere is always so warm and welcoming that you really hate to leave. Donna and Spenser always make sure there is a diversified selection of gift items to purchase for yourself or someone special and I love everything they have to offer. There is always something new and exciting. I have been attending their teas for many years now and always look forward to each visit knowing that I will be welcomed with open arms and leave completely contented having spent such an enjoyable time with the Hardins and my tea companions.

I did not like tea until I went to Miss Spensers. Not only is the food wonderful, but the entertainment is great. They make you feel right at home, and a part of their family. They are wonderful!

No other tearoom where I've been a guest has made me feel more at home. They call us by name even if we haven't been there for a few months. The food is spectacular and the dramas written and performed by Miss Spenser are well done.It's a 'gem' for special occasions to share with friends and family.

I have attended several tea parties over the years at Miss Spensers and every one has been a delight! The food is fabulous and Miss Spenser and Donna have a knack for making you feel at home. Also the entertainment is always fun and enjoyable. Thank you for bringing a little bit of culture to southern Iowa!

My dear Iowa friend, Linda Kacer, introduced me to your refreshing and delightful tea. It truly was a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to another visit when we visit Iowa. Betty Osgood- South Carolina

This is my daughter's and my favorite tea room. Just the right spot for quiet relaxation and the Halloween tea is the bet

I love Miss Spenser's Tearoom. I have been to several of her special teas, and can't wait to go back!

Miss Spenser's is my favorite tea room! While visiting another tea room today, I found myself wondering what was happening at Miss Spenser's. I was at the governor's tea this past spring, and while it was nice, I still missed the creativity that I see at Miss Spenser's. Whether it's the food, ambiance, entertainment or just feeling truly welcome, Miss Spenser's is my favorite tea room. It's worth the drive every time!

It was so much fun to bring someone new (Rudy Kaut) to the tearoom on Friday ... our table was full of interesting people and once again, they now feel like friends after sharing a lovely meal at Miss Spenser's. The ghost story was just frightening enough, the food and tea were delicious and so beautifully presented. As always, the welcoming atmosphere was perfect. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Enjoying an English Tea at Miss Spenser's was a very special treat. We enjoyed our trip from the moment we entered the beautiful tea room. The china, place settings, food presentation, and service were the best! The food, of course, was wonderful. Miss Spenser's Special Tea is truly one of Iowa's special assets. I continue to recommend this establishment to my friends and relatives.

I attended the Victorian Ghost Tea and it was spooktacular! I'm still dreaming about the fabulous food and pumpkin tea was delicious. Miss Spenser and Donna make us feel like part of the family, this is my favorite escape and I can't wait to go back.

The Victorian Ghost Tea was a delightfully scary Halloween treat. The food was wonderful and pumpkin tea marvelous. With a fire in the grate and the candlelight glowing, Miss Spenser wove a tale of murder and mayhem to rival any story teller, past or present. This tea room does the usual and unusual when it comes to pouring out a cup of tea, but it is always amazing!

We attended the the shadow of the shade
as always the performance was wonderful
I have been to numerous tea parties here but it was the first time with
my husband. He too was very impressed with the program and esp.
with the food! It is so delicious and even for a man plenty to eat.
The cups of tea are always filled
with special teas. All in all a wonderful night.

I attended the Halloween tea last night and it was a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and loved the tea. It is a beautiful tea room in the country. The family is so wonderful greeting everyone, helping them park their cars to keeping the tea cup full. There was a nice variety of food and all very delicious. The decor is very relaxing and tastefully done. Spenser did a great job with the program she did and what a beautiful dress which she made herself. She has a wonderful talent in the sewing department. I have attended this tea room since they opened. It started in their home before turning the 3 car garage into this special tea room. It's been great seeing all the changes over the years that has been accomplished. Donna does a fabulous job of preparing the food-- all so delicious. Karen Edgington

My sisters, neice and I had a wonderful time today at the tea room. Service was wonderful, food was excellent, and it was a memorable occasion for us as a sister time together. They even gave us hats to wear. What fun!! I will definitely try it again.

My friend, Karen Schurman treated me for my birthday in August to my first 'Tea'. I enjoyed the experience immensely, a very relaxing time and delicious food. I hope to enjoy one of the upcoming holiday events. Thanks

This tea involved a book discussion of an unsolved murder in Warren County during the late Victorian Era. It was so much fun to have an intimate tea with a yummy dessert buffet and delicious tea. Candlelit and mysterious, the setting for the tea was lovely as usual. The food is always so well prepared and delicious and since it was at night, there was regular tea and a great apricot flavored decaffeinated tea. Both were awesome. Thanks for another great event.

Love going to Miss Spenser's Teahouse. Food is always good and the atmosphere so enjoyable. My daughter is planning to treat me to a tea time together for my birthday when we can arrange a time that works. Excitedly looking forward to another repeated visit with great tea and company.

Absolutely beautiful, relaxing, atmosphere with wonderful, warm, friendly people serving. I have been there many times and am never disappointed. Whole leaf tea brewed to perfection and exceptionally tasty treats to enjoy with it. Makes a wonderful place to take friends and family for a special birthday treat. My mother and daughter-in-law both greatly enjoy that gift.

There are not enough positive words to describe the experience you receive at Miss Spenser's. If you have not yet had the opportunity to come and visit, you are missing out!! Everything is wonderful, from the moment you walk in the door, until the moment you walk out-and then you will be counting down the moments until the next time you get to return.

This is not my first visit, but every time I am awestruck by the serenity, food,fun things I learn and friends new and old. I cant wait to go back to share with my delightful tea friends.

I went to the Audrey Hepburn tea and had a wonderful time. The interpretation of this great star had the essence of Audrey herself embedded in a creative and gracious program. The food and tea were, as usual, so tasty and artfully prepared that I can't wait to go to tea again.

A special friend took me to Miss Spenser's tea room for my Birthday and what a wonderful experience the people were the greatest i loved every minute of it.Everyone should have the pleasent experience all i can say is it was wonderful the food ,Tea and entertainment Thanks to my friend Norma Love you my friend

I wanted to give my friends a 'thank you' gift for helping us after a terrible August storm in our area. Finding Miss Spenser's Special-Teas Teahouse was a wonderful, wonderful treasure. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive from our area to Miss Spenser's Teahouse, but it was fantastic!!! We talked about it all the way home! I can't wait to learn more about the many activities at the Teahouse. I think this is one of the best treasures that I have ever found, attending an event at Miss Spenser's Special Teas Teahouse. The food was heavenly and the decor was beautiful. The welcome and hospitality given by Donna and Spenser were very special. Thank you so very, very much for a wonderful day. We hope to come again very soon!!!

What a delightful experience!! From the start when each member of the tour group was warmly greeted at the door, to our exit where we were also individually thanked for attending, the time spent at Miss Spenser's Special-Teas Teahouse was truly SPECIAL. The lovely Victorian decor, the delicious food, and Miss Spenser's wonderful presentation from 'Midnight Assassin: Murder in the Heartland' all made our tea time a superb one of a kind experience. Because we were such a large group only one type of tea was served - but it was absolutely delicious, and our teacups were continually being refilled! I'm hoping to be able to come back soon with friends who I know will love the 'teatime' as much as I did!

The presentation of the whole experience was delightful. The reading from 'Out of Africa' was extremely well done and so enjoyable for myself and my guests. Everyone had their own choices of what they liked best of the food that was served, but everyone was happy with all selections. Only one tea was served due to the large group; but that was okay, it was delicious, and if you wanted something different you could ask for it. Will keep checking site for upcoming events.

The Out of Africa Tea this past weekend was fabulous! Thank you so much for creating this special time that I could enjoy with my mother. The program was top notch - Miss Spenser, you are so talented! The food was scrumptious, the formal Victorian decor was beautiful and, of course, the tea was delish! Mom and I are already talking about when we can come back and I've spread the word to friends!

Everyone should put Miss Spencer's Special-Teas on their must to do list. It is one of the greatest days around to spend with your friends. I had it on my bucket list and now I keep putting it back on the list and go again. I love to share this special place with my friends. Everyone is ready to go back to the next tea. It doesn't take us long to get their from north of Ames. A great place to take visitors from other states and countries.

I enjoyed the wonderful Out of Africa program so much at Miss Spenser's Special Teas today. Miss Spenser's voice and narrative carried me away as if I were actually experiencing a trip to Africa. The food and tea are always fantastic as well! The table was beautifully set and the people with whom I had tea were friendly and fun!

From my first contact by email to the day my sister and I had our tea date, the experience was great. Donna and Spenser were so welcoming, the tearoom was beautifully set, the food was wonderful! Thank you for a special afternoon with my sister. We will be back!

Our Grandma took us to the American Girl Tea with Kirsten's teacher, Miss Winston. We had a very fun time! The food was yummy and we played some neat games too. We can't wait to go back for another tea time. Thanks Miss Donna and Miss Spenser!!

One of my Book Club Buddies suggested we visit this tea room and were we ever glad she did! We attended the Young Victoria presentation on Saturday July 16 and it was an afternoon I'll long remember. I work in a very stressful job situation and it was just the escape I needed to relax and unwind. I was transported to another world. I'm definitely going to make plans to go again. The two Sons that work and serve tea are perfect gentlemen and so cute. The food was amazing! The tea was outstanding. The presentation by Miss Spencer was captivating. I just can't say enough about how much I enjoyed experience. Make plans to go. You will not be disappointed! Linda Lee

Another wonderful experience at the tea room. The cherry jubilee cream truffles were heavenly!!!! I have been telling everyone about them. The service is always with a smile and Miss Spenser's performance as Queen Victoria was sweet and entertaining.

My Grandmother is from England and when I was a little girl she would tell me all about the tea times in England. Being at Spencer's Tea Room really made me be able to invision what it would have been like to have had tea in England with her. I have never been to England unfortunetly but I feel like I get a little piece of it there. I really loved everything! The atmosphere is very relaxing and I enjoy how she will sometimes put on a theme as well. Talking with Spencer and her Mother it felt as though they really knew so much about the tea they were serving and their hearts were truly in everything they did.

A return visit to Miss Spenser's Tea Room was just as wonderful as the first. After attending a tea in March as a guest of my sister-in-law, I told my Book Club buddies about the gem I had discovered. They were all on board to give a go. I was excited when the date finally came and could share this experience with 14 of my friends. Everyone loved it. I heard, 'Best tearoom I have ever been to' and 'I want to tell my aunt about this place.' I am sure there will be repeat visits with some of the girls with other friends and/or family. I know I am planning on another event with other friends. Donna and her family makes you feel at home from the minute you arrive. I love Miss Spenser's Special Teas.

When planning our trip from England to visit family in Iowa we contacted Miss Spenser's Tea Room to enquire about their Special Events. The warmth of the response and the exchange of emails during the months before our visit resulted in a welcome so warm we were made to feel like lifelong friends. The attention to detail at the tea room is perfect in every respect and the entire Hardin family an absolute joy. The English tea-room definitely passed the test - right down to the delicious cream scones! Our relatives, who had not been to Miss Spenser's before, were really impressed, whilst we left Iowa with memories of our visit as one of the highlights of our holiday.

I have loved tea parties for a very long time. When I saw an ad for Miss Spenser's Tea Room in my Tea Time magazine, I immediately contacted my sisters and we planned our tea adventure. I live in California, so I was delighted when the Little Women tea was scheduled for one of my visits to Iowa. The six of us loved everything about the Little Women's tea. The ambience was inviting and cozy. The food and tea were delicious, and we felt pampered and very importaint. Thanks so much for a wonderful day.

Lovely decorations, wonderful items to purchase, scrumptious food. What could possibly make it better? Oh yes, daughter Spenser! What a charming young woman with talent galore! You will not want to miss a tea room experience at Miss Spenser's Special-Teas. I guarantee you will be back for many a return visit!

What a wonderful time we had at Miss Spenser's Tea Room! We traveled over a 100 miles to get there and it was well worth it! It was a great outing for the women in our family. I was especially delighted when I was able to purchase a tea pot that matched my China set. A wonderful day especially with Meg (from Little Women)visiting with us. Thank you.

What to say about tea at Miss Spenser's? There are just not enough words to fully describe the wonderful, fantastic and amazing time I always have when I come to tea. I LOVE coming to tea- for the tea, the wonderful food, the amazing programs, and for the great friendship and fellowship I know will be waiting for me as soon as I pull into the driveway and the door is opened. When I enter, I feel at home and so very welcomed.
If you have not had the chance to go and experience Miss Spenser's- you MUST go as soon as you can- you will not be disappointed. You will find amazing tea, amazing food, an amazing program- but also, amazing hosts that the entire Hardin family is.

Rose, Marge and I had another wonderful time at Miss Spenser's. We attended the Gone with the Wind tea. It was perfect, as usual!! We will be back again and often.
Thank you, Donna, Miss Spenser and family.

I can't think of anything I'd rather do than spend time at Miss Spenser's being entertained by the talented Hardin family and savoring all the delicious foods made from scratch by Miss Donna.
My most recent visit was for the Royal Wedding Tea compliments of my dear friend Cindy who had given me a gift certificate. Meeting the 'Queen' and 'Kate' was a royal treat and tasting William's wedding cake was fun. The wedding cake cookies were made by my niece and an added treat. It was very entertaining to hear about the Hardin's friend's experience meeting Princess Diana. Spenser's beautiful harp rendition was soothing and the perfect way to end the day. Everything about Miss Spenser's Tearoom is always perfect down to the last detail. I LOVE IT!!!

Donna and Miss Spencer,
i just want to say what a wonderful time i had at the royal wedding tea!! the food was amazing as always. Mostly i want to thank you for letting me make the cookies! i was SO HONARD!!! thank you thank! i know my mom was right by my side and just as honard. your trully the dearest and sweetest! thank you again for letting me be a part of it.
