Variety: I had a chance to visit Pinkadilly Tea several weeks ago with my friend It was Great. Lets start with the atmosphere .It was so quaint.I loved the victorian hats to wear. It was like a little girls tea party for a very grown up girl!!!!! What a great way to spend the afternoon. The food was Fantastic. The cream of crab soup was devine.The chicken salad was the best I have ever had. And the variety of Teas, and desert where out of this world. And let's not forget the SCONES. GREAT!!!! Can't wait to go back. Don't miss this one. It's a Gem!!!! |

Variety: I love Pinkadilly! Wonderful food and tea. Lovely hats and decors. I feel like a Duchess from the 18th century! I celebrated my birthday 2 weeks ago here. And I just had my daughter's 4th birthday party here too. She loved her 'Princess Tea Party' and so did her friends! I have told all my friends to experience this treasure in historic downtown. |

Variety: My daughter and I went for brunch and had a lovely experience. The service was very personable and on top of our care. The food was VERY good, and we shared a pot of tea that stayed hot due to the lovely tea cozy on the pot throughout our whole mean. I dare say, the scones were better than mine, now I need to work on bettering my own recipe. The soup is shear comfort food, especially since our day started out chilly. When you hear a child say 'This is heavenly' over Butternut Squash soup, you know it's good. The Snicker-doodle cake was superb, just enough sweet and spice, but not overwhelming. Oh and the tea, Angle Falls Mist, was a lovely fruity blend of herbs and just a hint of sweet to break the tart of the rosehips. I highly recommend Pinkadilly Tea for a peaceful and comforting moment in this crazy rushed world. |

Variety: The tea and scones were outstanding! Service was awesome. They went to the trouble of fitting us in even without a reservation. We will be back. |

Variety: I recently had the chance to go to the Pinkadilly tea with my daughter, daughter in-law and 4 of my grandchildren. Although I have been there several times before this trip was extra special because it was in celebration of my 4 year old granddaughters birthday, her first real tea party. From the moment the tea tray came to the table with the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches shaped like teapots and the ham and cheese sandwiches shaped like hearts she was so excited she didn't know what to eat first! Of course my grandson started at the top with the brownies, madelines and little pink lemonade pies and ate his way down to the scones. It's nice to know that there is a place like Pinkadilly tea that caters to everyone from the older adults to the children. In my granddaughter's words 'I LOVED IT', thank you for making our day such a special one. |

Variety: In response to the negative review below, my daughters (ages 7 and 4)and I have visited the Pinkadilly many times since its opening last year. We even had my oldest daughter's birthday party there. On occasion, I enjoy treating my girls to a 'dining experience' instead of an ordinary trip to a restaurant. Pinkadilly is more than kid-friendly. My daughters always order the 'Little Miss' Tea Service and it can't be beat for the price. No fork is needed.. everything can be eaten with their hands. They love PB & J and ham and cheese sandwiches cut into fancy shapes. Their biggest treat is eating the scones spread with devonshire cream/lemon curd, something they had never experienced before coming to the Pinkadilly. The point is to try new things and I'm thankful that Pinkadilly encourages children to come, participate and learn the art of 'finer' dining. There is McDonalds and Chick-fil-A and then there is Pinkadilly. Maybe you should have considered the first two. |

Variety: This was my first experience at a tea house - the wait staff was so accommodating and also made me feel very comfortable after asking about 100 tea-related questions. They were very gracious to us patrons, three of which were under the age of 5. Our little girls had the experience of a lifetime. The food was so reasonably priced, very well plated, and completely delicious. I can't wait to bring my mother while she's visiting from Minnesota. What a treat!!! |

Variety: I have visited Pinkadilly a number of times with friends as well as with several large groups. I can't say enough about this little place, or tell enough friends to go there. It is so charming. The food is delicious. Everything is fresh and seems to be hommade ( the desserts are especially tasty). The servers are friendly, very helpful, and attentive. I would like to make one small suggestion, however. The first few times I visited, all the servers wore matching pink shirts and aprons. Several times this summer I have visited, they were all dressed differently (mostly inblack). I don't know what it was about those pretty pink shirts, but they just added a little more class to the tearoom and fit in so nicely with the decor. I'm hoping this change was just for the summer since I k... (more) |

Variety: In response to the previous review, I can't believe that someone would complain about two hard of hearing ladies having tea near them. Should they be made to sit in a back room? Is there some way that the staff would have known that they were hard of hearing when they seated them? If the tearoom was empty as you say, it would have been easy enough to go into the room where you pay and quietly ask to be moved to a quieter corner. I'm sure that they would have been happy to accomodate such a request. Perhaps it's more fun to complain after the fact. It might have been a good idea to see what the offerings were for children before you arrived. Some children are very picky eaters, some LIKE to try new things. I am sure I would far rather be seated beside some ladies with a hea... (more) |

Variety: My first experience was my last. I was not impressed with the service and the lack of respect for the customer. The tea room was empty on the day we went, but they placed two (2) elderly ladies next to us who couldn't hear each other, and therefore we could not hear each other. Children's food was above the child's understanding and enjoyment. |

Variety: My friends and I have visited Pinkadilly's twice now, which we almost never do with teahouses. The food is some of the best we've had, and they always bring out the largest pots of tea we've seen at a teahouse. |

Variety: Pinkadillys was my very first Tea Room experience. My girlfriends and I drove 2 hrs just for lunch and tea. I was thrilled with the beautiful pink and lacy interior, the welcoming atmospere and lovely personal touches throughout. Each lady in my party chose a different tea and we all shared throughout the meal. The quiche and soup were excellent and the Blackberry Cake and Pinkadilly Pie was to die for. I even bought a few items from the gift shop that were perfect for me. I am already looking forward to the next time. |

Variety: Pinkadilly's Tea was even better then I could even imagine for my first tea room experience. About a year ago a few of my girlfriends started to get together once a month for tea. Everyone in the group had talked about experiencing a tea room. Kaye happens to be an old coworker of mine and let me know her tea parlor was open. I had to tell all my friends about it the next tea social. Unfortunatelly, this is the first time making it after being open for months. I walked into a warm & cozy Victorian atmosphere it reminded me of how my mother decorated my house as a child. We were directed immediately to the hats and told where we could seat after picking out a hat. It was like a child like experience playing dress up in a way. Known of us had eatten breakfast before afternoon tea so we broug... (more) |

Variety: I was invited to tea for my birthday celebration today (7/24). The service, decor and ambiance were a travel back in time. The food was delicious and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Pinkadilly will be a priority on our teahouse list and we look forward to spending our next celebration with you. We would highly recommend Pinkadilly. Thanks, ladies, for making our visit a day to remember. |

Variety: We visit Pinkadilly often, but on 7/17 my daughter and I took a visiting friend and her daughter to tea at Pinkadilly. Superb as always. We were surprised with a few changes in the tea service foods - shrimp mouse in pastry shell, ham with apple butter- cranberry chutney on a biscuit, and something like a turtle in a pastry thing - great! Kaye came out to meet our guests, our waitress - Brenda - was as attentive as always. You really forget your cares when you have tea here. Thanks again for a lovely luncheon. Denise and Katie |

Variety: This was my second visit to Pinkadilly, just as charming as the first but more special as I brought my mother-in-law who was visiting from California.We had a wonderful time. The service and decor and ambiance reminded her of times gone by. Kay and her staff made her feel special, which was the main reason that we lunched there. One can not find fault with the chicken salad,scones,blackberry cake,bread pudding,soups etc The tea selection is well thought out and some of the teas have a story, which our server was happy to share with us..Kay has brought a touch of Victoriana to a historic home in Fredericksburg. Cheers to you and your staff. |

Variety: What a delightful whimsical Victorian surprise to find such a charming tearoom in Fredericksburg, VA! After spending 3 years outside Newmarket, England, just outside Cambridge, I must say the scones were fantastic! I enjoyed a yummy pot of Artic Raspberry tea---cream tea! The ambiance was lovely and what a marvelous best kept secret in this historic home. Many thanks to the friendly and gracious staff--top rate service! The chicken salad salad and the blackberry cake with cream cheese frosting was awesome and I look forward to hosting an afternoon tea with my girlfriends! A summer must do!!! I'll remember my camera next time and wear one of their special hats for all the fun! Jolly Good FUN! Thank you ladies for sharing a fond memory of a beautiful English tradition! |

Variety: This was my first time in a tea room. I was absolutely delighted with the entire experience. When we first walked in I was so impressed with the quaint decor, lovely collectibles and beautiful items for sale. The black forest tea was wonderful and the bread pudding was the best I have ever eaten. The atmosphere and service was terrific. I was extremely impressed with the whole package. Thank you Kay for providing such a wonderful experience. |

Variety: My husband and I visited Pinkadilly Tea, and we were quite impressed. The owner Kaye, her daughter, and the rest of the staff were very warm and friendly and provided excellent service during our lunch as well as afterwards as we shopped in the gift shop. The food was delicious--especially the onion quiche and the tomato dill soup. The decor is absolutely charming, and the gift shop is filled with a delightful variety of items for sale. I highly recommend this tea room, and I look forward to returning again. |

Variety: Had a wonderful experience. Went to Pinkadilly with my mother, sister, niece and friends. My 5 year old niece was the true reason for going. Not only did we have an excellent time as adults, my niece was treated just as much as an adult and she loved everything given to her in the Little Miss. The experience of having the hats to put on was great and fun. The variety of the food was just outstanding. The staff was very pleasant and not overbearing at all (as in some places). It was just a great experience and we all left wanting to come back again. Thank you so much!!! |

Variety: I've been there twice now, and both times were absolutely wonderful. The first time, we had a full tea service (the Queen Elizabeth), with soup, quiche, tea sandwiches, scones, mini desserts an tea. It was quite a lot to eat, but everything was great. The crab bisque is amazing with a lot of crab in a creamy bisque. I recall that I had a tomato-basil quiche which was delightfully aromatic and had a great tomato flavor, despite it being long before local tomatoes were in. I loved the variety of tea sandwiches - from a delightful version of the traditional cucumber to a more unusual one that tasted like a tapenade of olives. Then came the desserts. You have to save room for these, because each one is fabulous! The chocolate truffles would rival those at a specialty chocolate shop, bu... (more) |

Variety: My mother and I decided to go tea room hopping accross the state of Virginia for my birthday. What a wonderful experience Pinkadilly proved to be! The decor was reminicent of my room growing up. So frilly and girly, but not pretentious. The service was impecable and the server was so informative. The food and teas were outstanding. Lady Londonderry tea was just plain yummy! The scones melted in our mouths. The gift shop was brimming with lovely tea wares. More than ample parking. Set in beautiful old town Fredericksburg, don't miss this gem. |

Variety: I had the pleasure of taking my two friends visiting me from NJ to your tearoom and what a great experience. The place is full of charm,delicious food,and great service. We had the Queen Eliabeth and three different teas. What fun trying all of them. Our servers were patient and took pictures of us in our beautiful victorian hats (supplied by Pinkadilly). We never felt rushed. The meal was outstanding and you can tell prepared to perfection. Truffles to die for. Thanks to Kaye and her children for a fun time. Will definitely be back. |

Variety: I visit many tea rooms in my travels. And when traveling from CT to NC decided to stop at the Pickadilly for my rest and lunch. I called about 1 hr before I got there and they made sure I had a table even though I had not made an earlier reservation. The food was very good and tasty. The staff was very pleasant. I would happily go back on my travels. |

Variety: What a charming Teahouse! The second I stepped into the quaint little historic cottage I felt welcomed. The atmosphere is so relaxing and friendly. The table was set for our group and every detail was so beautiful. Even down to the special sugars. (Made into spring time shapes- pastel leaves and flowers)Love the little details like that! They have a fantastic tea selection. Some of the teahouses I have been in have such limited table spaces but had plenty of table space for our food and pots of tea The food was so delicious! Chicken salad was fantastic! The soup was amazing! Love the tea cup that is was served in. The desserts were so good! The berry cake was so moist it melted in my mouth. You could tell everything was made fresh. The service was informative, very fast and friendly. I love this place. A must if you love tea! I am coming back! I live in Richmond and have been to the teahouses there and this one is #1 in my book. |

Variety: We are a group of retired teachers who go out once a month. Yesterday we went to Pinkadilly Tea. It is by far the best 'tea house' we've found (and we've pretty much covered Northern Virginia and several places in the Valley..along I-81). The minute you walk into the cottage, you step back in time; it's a 'leave your worries behind' type feeling. The entire cottage is decorated tastefully in pink and white. Each dainty tea pot (with cozy)and cup is different. Food is excellent, and there are many choices. Most of us had THE LADY CAROLINE tea which was wonderful. The potato leek soup was creamy and delicious, the spinach quiche and vanilla scone were equally as good. Grapes and a slice of blood orange (so I found out) were a nice touch. Some of us even opted for dessert when we realized there was bread pudding available..........absolutely outstanding!!! Yes, it was a carb filled day, but worth every single bite! There are also wonderful card and other items for sale. We will return! |

Variety: I held a bridal shower here for my sisters upcoming wedding. My mother had been here with her Red Hat group and said it would the perfect setting and it was! We had the best time and the service and food was outstanding. Many of the guests have called me since then thanking me for the wonderful time saying this was absolutely the best shower they had ever been to, this is mainly due to the unique ambiance and excellent service and food. The tomato bisque was very good and the Lady Londonderry tea was very tasty! Many thanks to Pinkadilly for a most memorable shower. I highly recommend Pinkadilly tea to anyone - five star service all the way! |

Variety: If you love Tea Rooms- You've got to go here. Step into Pinkadilly, itis like going to the parlor of a friends charming victorian cottage. Ambiance inludes rose patterned china, chandaliers & lace. Heartshaped Individual blessings are at each setting. Wonderful service, tempting menu items... To die for Scones (Love the blueberry lemon) srved with lemon curd. Steamy, tasty Tea cheerfully served in teapots wearing Cozies. A wonderful place for Grandma/Mom to hostess a tea party for Daughter or Grandaughter...They have hats to make priceless memories. Cost is reasonable, you'll have money left over to get something in the gift shop... or more Scones to go. This is a good spot of Tea! Did I mention the SCONES... baked on premises a secret recipe ... The Best in the Mid Atlantic area. Worth the drive. |

Variety: I read many reviews on this new tearoom before deciding to give it a try during a business trip January 25th. Boy, I was glad that I did! The place is VERY pink, but the owner's exquisite teapot collection on display, along with the many other decorations, more than made up for it. I tried the Queen Elizabeth tea and opted to pay more for the cream of crab soup. The bacon/mushroom/cheese quiche was tasty; the soup PHENOMENAL. Simply the best I've had (then I found out the owner is a fellow Marylander and knew why! Lol). As I waited for the next course, I watched the table in front of me receive a three-tier tower of artfully placed treats for three people, and hoped that my 'solo' would be half as nice. I was pleasantly surprised when the rest of my tea arrived on its own two-tier stand. T... (more) |

Variety: I have returned a few more times and each one was again an excellent experience. I took my aunt and sister and had a memorable time. The crab and the tomato soups were both excellent. I then took one of my best friends for Valentine's Day, a gift from my husband. We wore the tea hats and had our pictures taken. We couldn't have asked for better anything. My friend is a picky eater, loved it and is already making plans to visit again with her family. We had the Hazelnut Vanilla Tea, it was so good I purchased some for my house along with a teacup/teapot for one in the gift shop. Keep up the great job Kaye!!!! |

Variety: I had the opportunity to visit Pinkadilly Tea with several close friends. This charming tearoom was delightful with its Victorian style and scrumptious cuisine! The moment we walked in we were enveloped in the warm cozy atmosphere. The food and tea were delicious and beautifully displayed on delicate china – there were even Victoria Tea Hats to wear while we dined! I have been raving to everyone about the experience and I can’t wait for my return visit! |

Variety: We stopped in one Saturday, as we live nearby. The place is very pretty (my pink-centric daughter just loved it!) and the food is very good. My only wishes were that more vegetarian options and decaf tea selections were offered. Otherwise, it was a fun and delicious experience, and we will be dropping in again! :) |

So much so, that we have an event planned for a Health and Wealth tea and we will continue to have our events here in the future. The food is delicious, the atmosphere inviting and feminine. I would highly recommend Pinkadilly to any other tea room in the area. We will be back many more times in the future. Great Job Kaye! |

Variety: My Daughter and I had a wonderful time recently at this tearoom. It's great for Fredericksburg to finally have a really nice place to have tea. The interior of this little cottage is beautifully decorated in pink, white, roses and lace. We had the 'Queen Elizabeth Tea'. It consisted of soup, quiche, tea sandwiches, fruit, scones, tiny desserts and a pot of tea. So much food we couldn't finish it all and left with containers of uneaten goodies. It was all delicious, but I especially liked the crab soup. After we had finished our tea we bought beautiful greeting cards and looked at all the nice items in their gift shop. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We WILL be back often I'm sure. |

Variety: As a man I hesitated before entering this reveiw. A 'TEA ROOM'? As a salesman I travel extensivley and I'm bored with most Resturants so I try and find the unique,PINKADILLY fits the bill. The Food, Decor and Service are unmatched. If your anywhere near Fredericksburg, do yourself a favor, stop here and enjoy the quiet, gather your thought's experiance. The Quiche ,Tea Selection and Scones are to die for. |

Variety: I love this tearoom from the moment I stepped in the front door. It is like walking into a doll house, everything is lace and pink. I met a friend for a late Christmas Tea. The Lady Londonderry tea is delicious, the scones are scrumptious, the chicken salad and quiche is a must. Everything was excellent including the service. I cannot wait to return for another memorable tea and to sit back and enjoy this beautiful heart warming tearoom. |

Variety: I have known the owner for years. She has always had a flair for the incredible, but she blew me away when I had lunch with her on Sunday. Even though it is by reservation only on Sunday, she still welcomed people in for a look. The House Salad was like nothing I had ever had before and strongly recommend you try this along with the Chicken Salad Croissant. The Black Forest Tea was excellent!!! It is truly a step back in time, a place you will not forget. I'm extremely proud of her & will be back many more times with my friends and family!!! |

Variety: My friends and I stopped by on Saturday and had a lovely time. Some of the best food we've ever had at a tea house--especially the scones, but even the soup was incredible! We were also pleased with the teas in the selection and the amount of tea we got. We had a chance to try each others' pots and quite enjoyed ourselves. |

Variety: My friends and I have been waiting all summer for this place to open and when we stopped by on Saturday, we weren't disappointed. The decor is delightful - everything has a touch of pink! The service was outstanding. The servers were attentive but not hovering. And what can I say about the food? Just like mother's. The chicken salad was scrumptious. The white chocolate cherry scones were packed with cherries fresh and warm from the oven. When I saw someone at another table order the black walnut cake I just had to have a piece - HEAVENLY. I was also happy to see a smaller offering of tea selections. I get totally overwhelmed with too many choices. I have visited tea rooms all over the USA and some in Europe and this one is at the top of my list now. |

Variety: What a lovely tea house! My friend and I were much impressed by the amazing and beautiful transformation of the Olde Smythe Cottage on the corner of Princess Anne and Fauquier very near the downtown library. Feminine and romantic, it is the perfect place to spend time chatting, tasting the delicious delicacies, enjoying the ambience and escaping from the stress of the day. And isn't that the point of a tea room? It is obvious that much love and care went into this start up venture, from the lovely decor to the highly acclaimed Elsie Massey Victorian hats. I look forward to watching this tea room continue for years to come and I plan to return again and again! |

Variety: I have been waiting for this place to open for months, so I made sure to stop in last week and check it out. There were several different loose leaf teas to choose from, the chicken salad was rather delicious, and the lemon curd that accompanied the scones was absolutely divine! Not to mention the stmosphere was so sweet, its the perfect setting for everything from an afternoon tea to a little girl's birthday party. I enjoyed myself very much and will be sure to come back again soon! Pinkadilly Tea comes highly recommended!!! |

Variety: It's about time Fredericksburg had a tea house. What a lovely experience! My husband and I went in to 'review' it for a bridal shower, and ended up having tea and lunch. If you think he was the only man enjoying the 'Pink' surroundings how mistaken you are!! Although pink is not his favorite color, (surprize, surprize)he was very pleased with his meal and the ambiance. I will be back for more bread pudding in whiskey sauce tomorrow!!! fondly, Rachel Paul of Angels Agree Wedding planning services |

Variety: I had the chance to go to the Pinkadilly Tea on opening day and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and there was an excellent variety of teas. The atmosphere itself was like stepping back in time with the Victorian decor. Loved all of the little gift idea's that she has to offer as well. Definitely worth the drive from Southern Maryland, I'm already planning my next trip! |
