Pinkadilly Tea

My friend and I had lunch today. My quiche (Kielbasa) was absolutely delicious and I'm hoping to get the recipe! My friend had chicken salad and said that's what she always gets because it's so good. We both cleaned our plates. I've had scones before and they're great, too. We had Londondery tea and both enjoyed it and the pretty pot and tea cozy it was in. I'd reconmmend it to anyone. The hats are fun, too! Sue Moorefield

Kay, the owner, is the best,and you know a Maryland girl is going to have great crab soup. Everything at Pinkadilly is first cabin, top shelf. Don't change a thing!

The whole place was just lovely. Service was great, server was friendly and the lunch was excellent and I love the scones and devonshire cream. Are the recipes available for both? Would love to have them. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon lunch. We will be back.

My office went out for a ladies Christmas luncheon at the Pinkadilly Tea and I had a wonderful time. Great food and great atomosphere. At our table we ordered the quiche and the chicken salad with the crab soup. The women who ordered the quiche said it was phenomenal!! I had the chicken salad and it was very good. However, I really fell in love with crab soup...you need to try it to believe me...Merry Christmas to All at the Pinkadilly Tea.

I think all of the other reviews have said it best, so let me just add: I love Pinkadilly Tea!!! It's the best tea room in the entire world!!!

I've been to Pinkadilly a number of times and have never been disappointed. It's easily the best tea room around.

Pinkadilly Tea is a special place for my daughter, granddaughter and me once a month to visit. We always have warms greetings and made to feel special each time we visit. The food is always wonderful and the interior brings you back in time. Thank you to the Pinkadilly Staff that always outdoes themselves to make everyone feel at home.

Loved it!!

My mom, myself and now my 11 month old daughter have been coming to this tea house for about 2it years now! We look forward to the tea house and the experience every time we come. From the food to the staff to the decor has never been a let down. Now that the holidays are coming around and my daughters first birthday is right around the corner, the first place we could think of to enjoy these events is this tea house! Anyone who lives in driving distance would be crazy not to try it!

First contact matters - I was greeted harshly. When I mention that I had a reservation I was told your table will be ready shorty. There was no place to go but stand around in the crowded area/gift shop. I have mixed emotions in regards to tea time. I take tea time seriously!!!This is my passion and not make believe or dress up. It was difficult for me to get into taking tea when those around me were dressed in jeans, sweatshirts and regular street attire. This was more like a luncheon venue that had a few dispersed tea tiers. Close quarters with cleaning materials left in plain sight. The HUGE shock came when an individual wearing a 'BADLY' soiled/tattered apron came into the dining area to clear a table. As a patron I was displeased to see this.
The positives - the tea tiers were ... (more)presented well. Doilles adored the tiers and the food was FABulous. The scones were flakey, I could only eat one. The pumpkin tea was wonderful, it complemented the desserts that were homemade and to 'Die', for. The fruit garnishes had a special touch. Two hours well spent for the day.

This review is long overdue. Kay and staff are fabulous every time. I've enjoyed Pinkadilly for years; it never disappoints. The perfect venue for catching up with friends, special moments with family, and celebrating. This is one of my favorite Fredericksburg stops if not my favorite!

Enjoyed a great tea 'Grils Day' with a special friend. Her first visit to this tea room, my fourth. We have visited quite a number of tea rooms. The scones here are the best! All the food is yummy and always beautifully presented. Different seasonal tea sandwiches every time. The quiche was marvelous and the crab soup absolutely the best. We will definitely be back

I have been visiting Pinkadilly Tea since they have opened. My girlfriends and I drive from over 1 hour away, about every 4 to 6 weeks to have lunch there. We call it our 'Girls Day Out'. I even had my daughter's baby shower there for the arrival of my granddaughter and it was absolutely memorable, something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Each time is always a very special time for us, fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious homemade food. Highly recommend it for any special occassion or just to have lunch or tea. We are planning our next outing for 10/22 and I hope they have my favorite White Cherry Chocolate Scones, they are to die for :)

I visited your Tea Room yesterday with a group of friends and had a most wonderful time! I am fairly new at Tea enjoyment and found your selections outstanding! I will return every chance I get!

Enjoyed the most delightful afternoon at Pinkadilly with 7 girlfriends. LOVELY Tea Room, delicious food, adorable decor. We sampled 10 different teas, feasted on scones, tea sandwiches, and yummy desserts. Everything was delicious. The service was outstanding. It was simply perfect!

Kay,
We have been in Wellington, New Zealand for about 4 weeks now and I have been remiss in making this post. However, the time lapse has given me a whole new perspective on Pinkadilly. We miss you, your staff, the FOOD, the TEA, the decor, and everything! We have coffee shops here, and lots of tea, but there is nothing to compare to Pinkadilly. Your food - such flavor! Your teas - so many choices! Kiwi's are very friendly and exceptionally helpful but there is nothing like friends and tea in a cozy setting. And believe me I have been looking and so far there is nothing to compare. If anyone reading this ever goes to, by or through Fredericksburg, VA and does not make reservations for lunch or tea service at this establishment you are missing a most endearing and tasty experience. We soooo miss Pinkadilly!
with love,
Denise and Katie

Literally my most favorite place! I love a good tea-service but even when I am not in the mood for tea, I just cannot stop craving Pinkadilly's scones! The owner is also the sweetest lady ever. I told her once how much I loved her scones and she gave me the recipe. I love down to earth cooks like that! Let me tell you, I don't have her magic touch and they didn't taste as good. I will forever patronize Pinkadilly Tea House! Thank you to the wonderful staff as well :)

We were there for my daughter's 5th birthday. The service and food exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff was cheerful and very organized. The scones and crab soup were out of this world! Not tomention the tea! They provide a great selection. The girls couldn't get enough sugar cubes in thier pink tea! Super fun and definitely worth anyones time. Especially if you are a tea lover. Thanks so much for making my daughter's day so unique and special! :)

Was there with a group of International Women...you were all so accommodating, thank you! I enjoyed the truffles, sandwiches, and scones - they were all so delicious:)

Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon:)

Definitely will be coming back with my daughter for a girl's day out!

The tea and food are both very yummy! The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing! Keep up the good work!!

I LOVED this teahouse. Visited my daughter in VA from Ohio and it was the highlight of my trip. Everything was as a teahouse should be. You can be sure I will come here to Pinkadilly each time I visit.

My mom and I visited Pinkadilly tea and had such a wonderful time that we went again a few days later! The food is absolutely delicious and the teas are of excellent quality. The mood and atmosphere is perfect for what a 'tea house' should be. We have visited tea houses in several states and have not found any that are of Pinkadilly quality. I would highly recommend visiting them for anyone who loves tea.

Pinkadilly is the BEST thing about living in Fredericksburg...Seriously. :)I am a repeat patron at Pinkadilly, and frequently I bring new friends to experience the delight. Everyone ALWAYS raves about how wonderful the entire experience was. From the food to the atmosphere, this place is #1. Honestly, it is the only thing I will miss when we move from Virginia in a few months!

Today was the second time I have had lunch at Pinkadilly Tea. I brought my neighbor who had never been before today. She loved it as I did. The atmosphere is so quaint and lovely and the food is wonderful. We had a delightful time and will surely visit again.

What a fabulous experience! The best scones and quiche I've ever tasted! The staff was very friendly and felt comfortable. The place is enchanting. I loved that there were so many different teacups! Lots of fun. My friend and I went to celebrate our birthdays (we didn't tell this to the staff). We will both be going back!

A wonderful place!!! Have gone here many times over the past 2 yrs. The atmosphere is inviting, warm and very friendly. such quaint decor, wonderful variety of gifts in the gift shop, and the food is outstanding! Tea services are excellent and other menu items offered are always exceptional. I have never been disappointed in the food or service. All the food is handmade and from scratch. Prices are very decent for the quantity and amount of food you receive. Truly a unique find and worth visiting over and over again!!!

Had lunch with several girlfriends from my high school. Warm, friendly, very 'girly' atmosphere.You feel right at home as soon as you walk in. And to top it all fantastic food. The crab soup is too, too yummy! Will certainly go agin and again.

I have been wanting to write this review for weeks now, but have been so incredibly busy. 'Tonight,' I said to myself, 'Is the night I sit down and record my thoughts about my visit.' My experience was nothing but excellent. We had a rather large party of ladies from our church that reserved the front room of this beautiful cottage. Having never been to Pinkadilly's before, I was awestruck with the decor and the overall ambience.
You walk through the little pink door and into another world. The tables are small and intimate. Covered in lace and set with the prettiest doilles. You have your choice of any tea you can imagine. Which is then served in your own personal teapot with a tea cozy. Your dinner comes out looking spectacular! I had the Lady Caroline. Now, I make homemade tomato ... (more)soup, and everyone raves about it. However, after tasting this Tomato soup, I admit, Pinkadilly's is FAR better!!! My dinner also included the most wonderful Bacon, mushroom, and cheese quiche, with orange-cranberry scones with Lemon curd and Devonshire cream. HOLY COW!!! I have never had such a good dinner in my entire life. Everything was cooked to perfection, My blackberry tea was amazing! I could go on and on. Instead, I am already making plans to take my wonderful mother to Pinkadilly's when she comes in the fall. I can't wait to take her there. Thank you to everyone for making our ladies visit one that we all will never forget.

We are military and have had tea at several tea rooms across the US and by far this was one of the best!! The food was the best I have EVER had!! I liked EVERYTHING we ordered. I was unsure of their chicken salad (everyone's is different) so they brought me out a sample on a cracker. It was so Delicious!!The scones they brought us, lightly powdered with powdered sugar were hot from the oven! I highly recommend this TEAHOUSE for not only the charming atmosphere, but the DELICIOUS food!!! I loved that they had a quiche on the menu without swiss cheese in it. I wish we lived closer or I would go weekly! My daughters (6,4, and 2) LOVED their food as well. My oldest had to order another PB & J b/c she said it was the best she had ever had! Even better than mine she said!! I highly recommend this charming PLACE!!

I am Aurora and I live in Ocala, Florida. Along with my grandparents, my parents and my 2 sisters(grandparents from orlando,FL).The reson why we are here is because my aunt and uncle live here.And this is proboaly the last time I will be in Virginia because they are moving to Florida really soon. Today is the last day before we head back to Florida. We wanted to make the best of it so we decide to go to tea! When we got there we were so excited! we walked in and saw they had HATS to try on so we all ran to the hats ( of COURSE),and picked out a hat to where for the rest of tea. We sat down to eat our order of the princess anne tea with everything from wonderful warm scones to delicious dessert.afterwards, mommy, grandma, and aunt kathy got frames........ Then we went outside and took som... (more)e pictues for rememberance of proboaly our last time in Virginia. And I just LOVED the flowers for the landscaping. The outside of Pinkadillys teahouse was all just a dream, the whole tearoom was so cute! Anyway, we drove home with a good memory of proboaly our last time in Virginia .
p.s. I have been to 3 other tea rooms and I like this one the best!Thanks you guys!

Our Girl Scout troop spent part of our cookie money on a Mother-Daughter Tea for nearly 40 people. Our girls ranged from 5 to 15 and it was a first real tea for most of them. They were absolutely thrilled with the beautiful rooms, the selection of hats, the table settings, the meals, everything!! It was like a real life fairy tale for them. One of our best events of the year!!

There is a reason Pinkadilly is rated number one - it's fabulous and the ruler by which I measure every other tea room. None have exceeded. Everything is darling and the food is fabulous. We even asked for (and got!) the recipe for a wonderful onion cheese spread - how cool was that?! Pinkadilly does not disappoint.

My husband treated me to tea as a pre-mother's day gift, since I'm waiting for our son to be born any day now. We drove an hour away from Ashburn, VA and arrived 10 min late, the staff was so kind and understanding even though we were late. I love visiting different tea rooms, and I'll definitely be visiting this one in the near future. I arrived very hungry and the food and portions did not disappoint me. For starters, the bacon mushroom quiche and tomato soup was delicious. My husband ordered the crab soup which was also delicious. He ordered the Ruben sandwich, they were very accommodating with the bread selection and replacing the thousand island dressing with mustard. I ordered the Lady Londonderry tea, which was seeped perfectly and complemented everything I ate. The two tier... (more)ed tea tray arrived and was packed with a wide variety of hot and cold savories, fruit, desserts, and two scones. I was so impressed by how much food there was for the price. I had left overs to take home, which usually doesn't happen. Thank you for making my husband and I feel so welcome and giving me such a wonderful 1st mother's day experience. I'm so excited to visit again, it's worth the drive!

We had a lovely time, even before we got to the tearoom. The staff was wonderfully helpful and accommodating, even when we needed to change our plans at the last minute. When we got there, the service was attentive and cheerful, the tea was good, and the food was delicious. Even my dad, a tough old Navy vet, enjoyed himself and asked my mom when they could go back. And my 90-year-old grandma LOVED the desserts!

I had the occasion to take a dear friend to tea to celebrate her birthday. What a delightful time we had. The tea was perfectly brewed. The food was wonderful - in fact I asked to purchase two more of the orange brownies. And the service was friendly, prompt and courteous. In all a perfect tea time! Can't wait to go again.

Pinkadilly never disappoints, and today was no exception! Kay and her practiced team have the English tea service down to an art from the clotted cremé to the perfectly moist scones that other area tea rooms try to imitate, yet fail miserably..
Anytime I have out of town guests, they always request a visit to out favorite spot, Pinkadilly Tea.. Today I took my best friend since the fifth grade, Susan, who is visiting from NC to have the Princess Ann tea service. Is was amazing as always. Also, Kay is very accommodating for my particular needs, as I am a vegetarian.
I will be enjoying many visits to see Kay and her girls in the future!

I had the privilege of visiting Pinkadilly's today while visiting my friend. Whenever I come up from North Carolina I always make Pinkadilly's a must do. I had a fabulous vanilla/hazlenut tea that I thoroughly enjoyed! My favorite is always the scones. Im so excited, because after telling the owner how much I love her scones she gave me the recipe. Now I can enjoy her delicious scones until my next visit. Thank you for making a wonderful visit with a dear friend a little extra special!

Pinkadilly's is my 'pink litttle corner of peace'! I can enjoy great music and food while I take my respite from the busy world around me. I can comfortably enjoy my book and perfect cup of tea - Kaye and her staff can't be beat!

Our local Women's Club thoroughly enjoyed what was our first visit to Pinkadily Tea. Not being a tea drinker, I was pleasantly surprised that I sampled many varieties and could not decide which was my favorite! The overall experience was enjoyable and calls for another visit in the near future!

What a pleasant experience on a rainy day! We visited Pinkadilly on a drive north from Richmond because I had been impressed by the reviews and always wanted to stop. The staff members were extremely pleasant, the food was delicious and the atmosphere very cheerful. We feasted on the Lady Caroline: potato soup, sun-dried tomato basil quiche,and apricot scones. The server recommended Strawberry Shortcake tea and it was very good. I also purchased two additional teas to take along. Don't miss the owner's impressive collection of teapots. This is a wonderful tearoom. We will stop again.

Had 'girls day out' with my mom and sister at Pinkadilly Tea. Enjoyed a pot of Peaches and Cream Tea and a pot of Orange Spice Tea. I loved the Peaches and Cream Tea had a very smooth flavor, and my sister really liked the orange tea. We each had the chicken salad crossant with potato soup. Both were very good. It seems a little pricey at $8.95, but the quality and freshness was great. There were a few brown potatoes in the soup, but it was creamy and good. My sister had the strawberry shortcake, my mom had the bread pudding with whiskey sauce and i had the blackberry cake with cream cheese icing ($3.95 each); all were scrumptous! I have never heard or nor had blackberry cake before, but it was delicious. If you can't handle the little seeds from the blackberries, than I would recommend you choose something else. The taste was fantastic though!

My mother and I went to Pinkadilly with my almost 5 month old son. We were given a table near the heater to make sure my son didn't get cold. We loved the experience and the food (my son enjoyed looking out the window). Under normal circumstances I'm not a huge quiche, mushroom, or soup fan--but at Pinkadilly I ate it all and thought it was fantastic. We both ordered the Lady Caroline and were completely satisfied for the rest of the afternoon. I enjoyed the tea I chose, but would have like a larger selection of black teas (although the do have many already). I look forward to taking many of my tea loving friends here in the future when they come to visit.

Some friends and I hosted a baby shower here & enjoyed it immensely! The food was delicious & plentiful! The atmosphere was warm and our server was friendly. She catered to our every need. I would absolutely recommend Pinkadilly Tea for your next celebration with the girls!

I went here with my best friend for the first time and I enjoyed it so much. The tea was delicious, the club sandwich made me wanna order another, and don't get me started on the lemon shefon pie. Now I'm not one who particularly likes lemon anything, but I couldn't stop eating it and I came back later that week for another. The atmoshpher is really nice and its pretty and pink, hense the name lol. I recommend this tea place to anyone and everyone!

We've frequented Pinkadilly for years and are never disappointed. It has provided a beautiful respite for my daughters, friends and me.

This is a delightful place for lunch. It is very cute and quaint and PINK!! The crab soup is the best I have ever tasted. It is worth a trip just for the soup and tea!

This a wonderful place to visit. Amazing food, tea, & customer service. Best crab soup of all time!!

I just recently had my bridal shower at Pinkadilly Tea and I can't imagine a better place to host an event. The serving staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even while attending our large group in addition to a full house. We never felt neglected, and they went out of their way to help us set up and feel special. The food was amazing, the tea was perfect, and the atmosphere was fun, simple, and elegant all at the same time. My only regret is that I only have one bridal shower to spend at Pinkadilly Tea!!

I've been to Pinkadilly several times in just the past year, and it's always been a good experience. While everything is fantastic, the aspect that always stands out most is the superior quality of the food. I recently visited England and had tea service at Fortnum and Mason's tearoom in London as well as York's famous Betty's Tearoom, and while both of these experiences were wonderful in their own ways, the food at Pinkadilly by far exceeded them in quality and taste. The foods are simple and fresh, but still unique and flavorful. I think they make a very good effort at using seasonal ingredients and regularly change their menu.
I have no complaints about the tea at all, but I would love to see more varieties of non-black teas in the future.

We celebrated my daughter's Bridal Shower at Pinkadilly and could not have been more pleased. The service was fantastic and the tea and food were exceptional. We had a small gathering of only 11 ladies but I have received calls from some who commented on the lovely time they experienced. It was a perfect setting for our bridal shower and I would highly recommend the tea house to all friends looking to have a gathering in a unique and comfortable setting.

We love the Pinkadilly! My family and I love to go and be pampered by the owner and staff. We are served fresh and delicious food in a lovely and charming atmosphere. We also have a tradition of going with all the extended family (ladies and girls only) on the Friday after Thanksgiving every other year. We always get the tea service and it is fantastic! We always leave with leftovers! The men and boys are always eagerly waiting when we get home to see what leftovers we brought for them! This is something that everyone really looks forward to especially the little girls and Kaye and her fabulous staff never disappoint! The Pinkadilly Tea Room will be a tradition in our family for years to come!

My kids and I LOVE going to Pinkadilly Tea! The food is the best part about going there! The chicken salad croissant and crab soup are some of the best I've ever eaten. Lately however, the service has been slow and I've noticed that the shabby chic decor is looking a little more 'shabby' than normal. It may be time for a little Spring Cleaning and 'sprucing' up! I am also not a fan of the wait staff wearing jeans and T-shirts as it sort of ruins the ambiance. The food is what keeps us going back time after time.

I am a vegetarian and I had no concerns with Kay being very accommodating. She let me know what foods were available. I love the individual attention we get from the first moment we arrive until we leave. The presentation of the food along with the service was spectacular. I highly recommend Pinkadilly Teahouse to anyone.

Visited from out of town and was totally impressed. Such a nice place and everything was yummy!!
