Variety: Lovely experience. The food was delicious, especially the Scottish style scones with gooseberry jam and lemon cream. What a cute place. Would definitely go back. |

Variety: We had a small group for tea and mini-bridal shower here. The food was so delicious and the tea as well. The ambiance is really special and the service was great. |

Variety: I enjoyed a fun Halloween afternoon tea with friends last Saturday. The cottage has a cozy, country ambiance which was creatively decorated for Halloween. We enjoyed a vast assortment of teas, squash soup, tea savories, scones, pumpkin cake and brownies. Everything was excellent! The owners have put a lot of love into the Pinecone Cottage Tea House. We'll be back. |

Variety: Pinecone Cottage was the perfect atmosphere for our bridal shower. The bride-to-be was so thrilled by the setting and our guests from their 20's through 80's raved about the theme, food/teas and comfort of the tea house. |

My intentions have been to write this MUCH deserved review way before now, but life has happened and keeps happening.....However, it's been over a year and my friends and family are STILL raving about how much fun we had at the Pinecone Cottage for my 50th Birthday Celebration. The food and tea was very tasty & delicious and the service was EXCEPTIONAL!!! |

Variety: We hosted a bridal shower here and it was splendid! The atmosphere was intimate and made you feel like British gentry or out of a page from Alice in Wonderland. The proprietors, Pam & Paul Geralds, are professional and work with you to make sure the agenda moves smoothly. The beverages were presented in true “tea service” with description and selection. The food was delicate and delicious. It was the easiest and most elegant shower we have ever hosted. Bravo Pinecone Cottage! |

Variety: This tea house is adorable! I've been here several times now. The food I had today was absolutely delicious; it tasted much more gourmet than the typical tea sandwich. I would definitely recommend this tea house and plan on returning. |

Variety: I attended a bridal shower in this adorable little spot and was taken back 40+ years to a dreamy childhood afternoon fantasy but in the flesh, tea party! I browsed at a few of the cookbooks which invited me from the shelves and sipped strawberry tea from a unique pot. We were treated as if we were a princesses while nibbling our way through the 4 course tasty fare. Well done Pamela and crew! |

Variety: I have had afternoon tea and loved both the food and tea service at this homey and quaint teahouse. We held a Bridal Shower tea and all the guessts raved about it. Thank you to Pam for providing the perfect afternoon tea for our bride. Can't wait to have another event and enjoy an afternoon at Pinecone Cottage. |

Variety: Each of the guests at the bridal shower I hosted loved the atmosphere, the decor, and the food. It has a cozy and calm ambiance-very pleasant. A special 'tea of the month' and a seasonal menu offering makes each visit special. The scones were lovely, and everyone enjoyed the sweets table afterward. Attentive service capped off our experience. I would choose the location again for any other special showers or occasions. We all loved the display of dozens of unique teapots. |

Variety: My mom, brother and I had a lovely afternoon! We had a wonderful variety of home-made, delicious savories and sweets (my favorite was the choc. chip scone with strawberry preserves and devon creme), and each of our excellent teas was in a unique teapot (I had a subtle Russian tea in a vegetable teapot with a pumpkin lid.) |

My girlfriend hosted my baby shower here last weekend and we had a fabulous time. Pam and Paul were amazing hosts, everything from taking guests coats to presenting them with a beverage before they were able to say hi to other guests. Service was prompt and Paul is quite the server. |
