Margie thank you so much for your kind words! We love to share our world with ladies like you!
We are blessed indeed:)

Hi Melissa and thank you for the review. I am so pleased that Heather (the bride to be)was so happy with her special luncheon. We made sure all the requests were accomodated including all the purple accents...you girls all looked fabulous in your hats:) I am sorry, however, that you experienced a few concerns. As you may remember, your original reservation was for 11 people, then the day before you confirmed for 9 guests...and then after your arrival you told us two guests were not coming...at that point we already had all the food prepared, so that is why you had to pay a little more than expected, but you did receive all the food for the missing guests which went home with the bride. As we mentioned, we do all fresh cook the day of the event, so that is why we have to charge for the confirmed number. Again, we are so glad you al enjoyed the food and fun during your visit. I know you all will look beautiful at the ceremony!

Thanks Catherine for the review. You ladies were a joy to serve! It was such a treat to chat about your homeland and revisit memories of my mother and her family trips to Wales when she was a young girl. Pleas do come again as soon as you can:)

Dear, dear Jennifer...you have always been a treat to see! I am so happy that you enjoy your time with us, because we certainly enjoy our time with you and your Mom, and your guests, Thank you so much for the kind words and WONDERFUL pictures you have shared. See you again soon, my dear!

My Dear Maria, (and your Mom), Thank you so much for your thoughtful and lovely words in regards to myself and my little tearoom. It warms my heart and soul to hear others speak with such appreciation of something that means the world to me. I think we are going to become great friends and I look forward to the time when we see eachother again. I enjoyed your spirit...my dear Mum would have loved meeting you...so glad I had the pleasure:)!

Thank you Nancy, for your thoughtful words and might I say, your visits were highlights in our day! I look forward to your next visit:)

Well Barbra, we really enjoyed you and your friends! I appreciate your lovely words and look forward to your return visit:)

Joni you and Ktrsten were the perfect guests. I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves and appreciated your patience during the transformation after the pary:) Hope to see you again soon!

Hi Elizabeth! Thank for appreciating your time with us. We feel all the little details make our guests visit that much more enjoyable...happy to know you agree:)

We love it when 'kiddos' come here for tea and I am so happy you enjoyed yourself. Please come back again soon!

Janice, you flatters us with your words! I am so happy you enjoyed your time with us and look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Thank you so much for all your kind words. We REALLY enjoyed your visit and are so happy we made you and your friends feel so welcomed. Everything we do here, we do with love...so we are glad to know it's working:)

Gina, you are too kind! I am so happy you all enjoyed yourselves and of course we loved seeing you again...can't wait to see all the pictures...your daughter is such a talent:)...she has a great eye! When you return in September we will be sharing our Fall menu...more new items for you to try and hopefully love just as much. Thanks again for sharing you day with us.

Hi Joanne! So happy you ladies had a good time with us. Thank you for the kind words and we look forward to seeing you again very soon

Laura, thank you for the review. I am so sorry you didn't enjoy everything during your visit with us. Our scones are baked fresh every morning, and traditionally they are not a moist baked good as for the Devon Cream, it is not supposed to be a sweet addition to tea cakes and breads and our cream puffs are filled with whipped heavy cream, not Devon Cream, but again sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as we had hoped. Again, my appologies for the credit card issue. Many small businesses do not take credit cards because the fees are so high and I don't like to pass that cost on to customers...we do take checks as well.

Hi Janie! Thanks so much for your kind words. It certainly was our pleasure to serve you and it was so enjoyable meeting and your sister. Have fun using the cookbook and come see us again as soon as you can.

Hallie it was our pleasure to serve you. We are so happy you all enjoyed your time with us...I enjoyed the chats and giggles too! Come see us again really soon:)

Thank You Stacy...we loved hosting your group! All of you were a treat to have at the tearoom and we look forward to see you again, very soon:)

Thank you for the kind words, Nichola:) I look forward to seeing you in October...ave a wonderful summer, my dear!

It is curious that you didn't leave your name...however we are a Scottish Tearoom and the British way is not to leave tea pots on the table...it spoils the integrity of the tea. As for variety, we have over 20 teas available, we start with a daily house selection, but guests are always encouraged to try other teas, types and flavors. I am not sure why you did not enjoy the food...I guess it is just a matter of taste...enjoy your summer:)

Hi Kate! For someone who hasn't been to this tearoom, you certainly made a lot of judgements about it, including leaving a review for something you have no knowledge of...sorry if you think that is rude, but to leave a negative score for food, variety, service etc.on a place YOU have never been to...well need I say more. I think you have an agenda and should feel ashamed of yourself for trying to disparage a small business.

Apology accepted! For the record, we have NEVER had teenagers wearing jeans or with piercings working in my tearoom. It is my life's love to serve my guests here and it is my hope that they enjoy the time they spend with us...

I don't know who you are, but I did not write this review...I DO NOT know who 'Tea Lover' is and I would appreciate you taking this unwarranted agenda elsewhere. Thank You!

Thanks Claudia! So glad we could make your special day that much more special!
We enjoyed serving you and your family!

Thank You Emily for your wisdom:) I am so happy you enjoyed yourself and do come back and see us very soon.

Hi Sherry! I was surprised to read this today. I tried to apologize profusely for the circuit breaker problem on Saturday...not much I could do about it then, but try to make everyone as comfotable as possible. With the breaker acting up, it did affect the oven operation...we fresh cook so there was a delay in baking the quiches, which is why yours was a little tardy...it normaly comes out with the tier, which yes it is filled with all the menu items..top tier always has the desserts, that is a tradtional service. and you DID receive the full menu as described, including, I might add, your special requests for items with no seeds or nuts, which of course took extra time to prepare. And I am sorry you had to wait to be seated at the reserved time. The other tables you efer to were not set and ready for the 1pm seatings...we also had a 9 person party coming at 1pm as well, so we have to plan for seating to accomodate the numbers. As for your coment about the dirty dishes...shame on you! There were and never have been diry dishes left in our bathroom. Becuase the building is nearly 100 yrs. old, storage is at a minimum, so notneeding a bathtub for use, I installed stanless steel shelves so I could store china used for off site catering...it is enclosed by three curtains, obviously you opened them and peeked inside, but not closely enough. I'm sorry we won't be seeing again soon.

Maureen, the birthday party you are referring to was for an adorable three year old, who had a wonderful time! Typically e don't do a story for the kids, uless requested, a story time was included beacuase we were wating on a couple of late arivals. Cat in the Hat is a clasic and most younger children like the ryming, it keeps them interested...the kids seemed happy. As for the food, all the sandwiches, pastries and such were made by us. The fresh fruit and honey graham bees were the only premade items. The cupcakes are placed on the display counter next to the party favors, just as a cake would be...as for the pictures, we usually make a college photo of the guests and the birthday girl and frame it in a cute little purse hoto frame as a gift, but since two of the parents didn't want the photo of their child taken we couldn't do that for this little girls party..so she missed out on that treat. Most of the parents like that for their child and don't find it wierd at all...it is usually very cute! To be honest, I was surprised how many Moms came to the event and stayed...most often they sit in the adjoining room and have tea and scones while the party takes place...at this event the Mom of the birthday girl didn't want to have scones and tea served to the parents so we didn't, that made the party room very crowded and loud with all the Moms talking etc.
With all tht said, the Birtday Girl enjoyed her party and that is what really matters.

It is refreshing to have someone who truly understands tea and tearooms leave a review..many thanks for your support! All the Best to you!!!!

I usually do not respond to anonymous reviews, but you seem to have an agenda, so I am making an exception...I am not sure why you are leaving a review 9 MONTHS after your visit, but let me try to address your concerns. Our sign is 3ft x 3 ft, City Ordinence, never had anyone say they couldn't see it, but I apologize that you couldn't see in your many passes. We sreve tea here at my tearoom...we don't leave pots on the table beacause the tea looses its ntegrity. Different teas steep at differen temperatures and times...we want every cup to be full of flavor, that is why we serve the tea cup by cup. Next time if you ask, we can lave a smaller pot for your use and keep the integrity of the flavor:) There is never a limit on tea consumption...ever. As for the sugar, there just isn't enough room to leave everything on the tea tables, and our guests like to be served. You certainly could of taken extra sugars and placed them on your saucer to get your to to the level of sweetness you desired...agin no limit and the servers don't count what you take, it is thier pleasure to serve you:) Lastly, I am so glad you enjoyed the chicken salad...everybody does (we are blessed)but to follow that with saying you were served some 'little snacks and tea' you know is incorrect...you were served soup, a full chicken salad croisant, curied eg salad with sprouts and cucumber sandwiches, scones devonshire cream, tea cakes and tea breads, fresh fruit tartlettes, cream puffs and chocolate dipped strawberries...most guests can't even eat it all and take home the rest. You weren't rude, you were upset about some things and I understand that, but you have to be aware of your words and how they can offend a reputation. I have worked very hard to make my guests feel welcome amd comfortable...I am sorry, in your case, we didn't.

Darest Konnie...WOW how wonderful it was to see you again:):) Always a pleasure, I could have chatted with you for hours! Can't wait for next year's Spring Training...or you can come see em anytime. Thanks so much for the kind words!!! Hugs...Ailean:)
