New Leaf Tea Room & Gift Shop

Some of us may never get the opportunity to experience the joy of having High Tea in England. Nevertheless, you will feel like you're in England at the New Leaf Tea Room. For many years now my daughter and I have made it a point to spend our special events at the New Leaf Tea Room. So on this special weekend, once again we made new memories at our special place. Back in the 70�s I lived in England for 6 wonderful years and visited many Tea Rooms for afternoon Tea. The New Leaf Tea Room takes me back to that special time in England. The d�cor is a pleasure to the eyes. The choice of tea is always a delight for my taste buds. The salad, soup, finger sandwiches, not to mention their famous scones and delicious desserts are pure joy for your taste buds. The staff and service is top-notch. Th... (more)ey make it a point to always make you feel special.

Phyllis and the entire staff, I thank you once again for another treasured day.

I came here with my Lolita group and it was such a quaint tea room and the food was very good. The women that work her are so pleasant. I am planning on taking my mom here for Mother's Day and know she'll love it too!

This is a beautiful enchanting Tea room experience. We had a wonderful time and everything is 5 star! ,,,

I took my daughters to The New Leaf for afternoon tea and we were totally enchanted by the beautiful decor! I loved the attention to detail,such as the pretty tea lights on each table. We so enjoyed the salad,soup,tea sandwiches and scones, not to m mention the just right servings of decadent deserts! The gift shop has gorgeous things and we can't wait to return!

My sisters and I held mom's 80th birhday at the New Leaf last week and without a doubt this is the finest tearoom we have ever visited. We go everywhere and this was like stepping back in time to a beautiful garacious Victorian parlour. The ecclectic detail is everywhere- even antique teacups hanging from the crystal chandeliers. The food and presentation is wonderful and the staff made us feel like the royal family. The cucumber mint sandwhiches are the best. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks New Leaf for a treasured day.

I have been to the New Leaf Tea Room at least half a dozen times. This is my go to tea room when you want to treat your friends to a special luncheon. The food is beyond perfection and elegantly served. The staff is very friendly, professional, courteous, and pleasant. They go out of their way to make the occasion a memorable experience. I will be making plans to return soon, as I have never been disappointed.

We recently had a bridal shower at The New Leaf. The owner went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. The food was wonderful and plentiful. Some of my guests ordered hot chocolate. I have never seen hot chocolate like this before! It looked like a massive sundae topped with whipped ccream and special shaped marshmellows piled high inside of lovely tea pots. All of my guests were thrilled with the bridal tea shower. The Garden Room was so beautiful. I would highly recommend The New Leaf for a special occassion.

I have never written a review before but I felt compelled to do so after taking a group of friends for tea. All three of my guests have traveled to England so I was nervous about their expectations but the afternoon was nothing short of perfect. Thank you Phyllis, JoAnn and Emily for your wonderful service.

I have never given a review before but after my visit to the New Leaf tea room on Saturday (Mar.16th) I just had to let everyone know of this hidden Gem. From the moment you walk throught the door you know you have entered a special place, the attention to detail was amazing, our food was deliciou and the scones were to die for...our servers were wonderful and made us feel special. This will not be my last visit to the New Leaf, before I left I made a reservation to bring my out of town guest to experience the pleasure of afternoon tea. Thank you once again for this delightful vist.

8 of us went to New Leaf tea room for my moms birthday. I made the reservation atleast 3 weeks earlier. We drove over an hour to try this tea room. As we arrived and the ladies were getting situated and using the restroom, I was told by the owner to hurry up, hurry my party up pick hats quickly and get seated because a big bridal shower was coming in and they wanted to get started. It was rude and abrupt. As our tea started we had a potato soup that was delicious, the tea came next which was so week it had no taste. The tiered presentation was beautiful. Emily was one of the servers she was so kind, sweet, and accomodating, even Phyllis the owner was nice but there was a dark haired female server she was down right nasty not only to us but the other server. When one of my party members ran... (more)g the bell (which we only rang once) she asked for coffee, the look on this servers face and attitude about it was disgraceful. The food overall was good. The egg salad did have a few shells but it was all pretty good. The desserts were very good, and the scones were great. At the end after a few ladies boxed some leftover food to take home, Emily came around to put the togo boxes in bags, and the nasty server says loudly,'dont put their food in bags, they can do it themselves', Emily continued and the nasty one huffed, puffed, shook her head and walked away. The restaurant itself was so pretty very charmingly decorated. Needless to say we will never be going back.

I visited this tea house late in 2012. The ocassion was a special birthday party for one of the 5 women who attended. We had made reservations well in advance, then confirmed the date/time within 48 hours of our party. The food was was very good. But for reasons I still don't understand, the owner and waitress could not have been ruder. I handed over more than $150 for an uncomfotable, embarrassing afternoon of insults at their hands. I would not recommend this as an adventure to anyone who prefers to be treated with any degree of dignity.

Recently I took a friend of mine to the New Leaf Tea Room in Riverton, N.J. to celebrate a milestone birthday. My friend had a perfectly delightful afternoon. The service was excellent. JoAnn and Emily were courteous, attentive, and extremely well-organized. The presentation of the teas, sandwiches, and desserts was beautifully executed.As well as the food being delicious, there is a great variety of sandwiches, desserts, and teas. This Victorian tea room is beautifully decorated with an enticing Gift Shop. My friend loved being able to choose a lovely hat to wear making her feel like royalty! My friend had such a memorable birthday. Congratulations to Phyllis, the owner, for providing us with an exceptionally high quality tea room. The New Leaf is without a doubt #1! We can't wait to visit again!!

I went for tea last week with my sister. What a great place to take someone, my sister loved it. Service was unbelievable, scones were GREAT! Thank you Phyllis we'll be back.

I visited this tea room in december 2012. The customer service was horrible. Phyllis who i believe is the manager was absolutely rude because my invites did not show up despite the fact that she made me make a deposit on my reservatio one week prior. The place is potentially good but the management needs to beef up on customer relations. I was embarassed at the rude behavior and treatment and the people i invited were also embarassed as well.

New Leaf is the best tea room I've ever been at! I love everything, but especially the large selection of decaf teas. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys teatime.

I had afternoon teas there on this June with my American friends during visiting the US from Japan. The service was top-notch! The presentation, teas, food (salad & dressing, sandwiches, cakes�c) were the best I have ever tasted before in the US. The staff were very nice, attentive, and organized! I think it�fs because of the owner, Phyllis, who has a sense of caring very much�cthey were just so nice. Above all, the scones were top-notch I have ever eaten in my whole life!
After returned to Japan, I was dying for that scones and searched online the one has similar taste�c.finally I was able to find a little similar one to that of the scones I had in the tea room, but it�fs still not exactly�cI wish the tea room is more closer or I could even import them! From Yokohama, Japan

Visited the tearoom on December 8th with my granddaughter Capri. The food and presentation was lovely. The waitress was so accommodating, she made her feel like a princess. Thank you for making it such a memorable day! Santa too!

Beautiful Victorian decor, delicious food & exceptional service. We always enjoy our visits to the New Leaf Tea Room & recommend it to all our friends. Gift shop is great. Easy parking, too.

My friends and I were treated like royalty at the New Leaf Tea Room, and the foot was fit for a queen.

The Rambunctious Red Hat Gals of Mount Laurel had their Christmas Party and High Tea at the New Leaf Tea Room in Riverton, NJ on December 5th. We had wonderful assortment of teas, great food and great service. The tables were beautifully decorated for the holidays. We also enjoyed the Gift Shop.

My boyfriend and I traveled 101 miles to visit this tea room and we were not disappointed.

The food was superb and the service was excellent. This tea room is larger than any I have been to before. There are even ladies' and men's hats that one can borrow for tea if desired.

I wish this place were closer because I would go here again if it were.

Visited for the first time on Sat.10/13 . All I can say is my experience was amazing... the food and the service were Excellent!. The scones were truly the best I have ever had. This was my first visit...but will not be my last.

I was looking for a unique venue to host a bridal shower and stumbled upon the New Leaf Tearoom. What a pleasant surprise, everyone was so impressed!

If you want to impress out of town guests, this is the place to take them. My friends from Scotland found their scones to be the best outside of the UK. The home made Devonshire cream was outrageously good and if you want lemon curd, just ask. Our Irish blend tea was delicious and our server kept our pot continuously replenished with hot water. I Can�t wait to visit again. The lavender scones alone are worth a trip.

We visited this wonderful tea room last Saturday with my family to celebrate my daughter�s birthday. We were treated like royalty from start to finish making a very memorable experience. I especially enjoyed the caramel pumpkin cake with a fabulous pumpkin butter cream icing, of course the children�s favorite was the oversized chocolate dipped strawberry. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Thank you New Leaf for an enchanted afternoon.

My girlfriend and I made our annual trip to the New Leaf today, from Princeton. Visiting tea rooms, near and far, has been our indulgence for the past 10yrs and we always feel at home in this cozy victorian throw back.

Recently took my mother and mother-in law to this charming little get-a-way. All of us were impressed by the setting, menu and overall experience.

Took my lady for our anniversary to a beautiful Victorian Tea Room. What a way to go back in time. We have recommended this place to our friends. She is looking forward to treating her sister to afternoon tea, when she visits us from England

We stopped at this lovely looking tearoom whic is located in a house setting and were excited to try another tearoom.
As you enter, there is a lovely little gift shop area and then beyond that is the tearoom which seats several guests in three roooms.
The setting and atmosphere was just lovely.
We ordered tea from a small list of teas and were presented with, as many tearooms do, a small pot with a strainer to place over our cups since they peave the tea leaves in for us to deal with. The leaves just sit there and the tea gets bitter as you pour another cup.
The food was good and filling, no complaints here.
The real issue: When the small pot that they served me was empty, I asked to try a pot of another type of tea. The expression on the waitress's face changed from ... (more)a slight smile to the strangest look I've ever seen and it was obvious to both me and my friend. We commented to each other that it appeard that she didn't want to make me a second pot of tea.
Upon her reluctant return with the second pot, she indicated very firmly that their policy is that just one pot of tea comes with their Afternoon Tea service. I can tell you that I was completely taken aback by her attitude and comment, since I have visited hundreds of tearooms and have never experienced what I had on my visit to this one.
There was a large group of ladies, about twenty or so in the other room and I wondered if the servers would allow these ladies refills, or if they also told them that there is a one pot limit per person!
If I lived in the area, I'd never return just for that reason and no matter how lovely the setting, if the server has this attitude and the policy is that they will serve only one pot of tea and a small one at that, I'd never return.
On this particular trip, we visited three tearooms and this one will be memorable in a negative way. It's not just about the food and setting, it's also about attitude.

Visited last week - english breakfast tea was so weak - did not enjoy. All 3 desserts had a colored whipped topping on top. Did not care for - would have like to seen variety. Fresh fruit cup and salad were lovely as well as the ambience.

Wow, the New Leaf Tearoom is the best. It is now my #1 choice. A friend took me on 8/24 for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The variety of food provided was amazing~the largest selection of tea sandwiches. The portion sizes were so generous~from the soup to the dessert. FANTASTIC. The owner was lovely and really cared about her guests. Don't hesitate to visit. It is definitely worth the trip. Make sure you browse the gift shop..adorable.

Looking for a final outing for my friend visiting from Japan, I decided on The New Leaf Tea Room. It was my first visit to this Tea Room, but not my last.
The Staff were engaging and the food was delicious! Just the week before we had visited Lady Mendl's Tea room in NYC. The New Leaf Tea room was 100 times better! I cannot wait to return.

This is a lovely tea room in a very picturesque town. My friends and I were delighted by the decore and friendliness of staff; the food was presented beautifully and very tasty. I will definitely return!

With my wife and son, we visited the New Leaf Tea room and were exceptionally pleased! This was our first tea room experience and we'd definitely go back. The staff was great, and the food was carefully prepared, very nicely presented and exceptionally high quality. They are onto a great format and by the judge of the other folks in the rooms, all were having a very nice time. One final thing: The scones are to die for, especially with the clotted cream on top. We'll be back!!!

Recently attended a bridal shower at The New Leaf. Outstanding venue! Everything was so perfect,I cant' wait to bring my family. The jewelry in the gift shop is fabulous and reasonably priced. could'nt resist.

Went for tea at the New Leaf, it was a great experience the food was great love the scones.
