Food: I had the pleasure of visiting pinkadilly tea room not only was it the BEST tearoom I have been to (and trust me I have been to a lot)the atmosphere was relaxing, the two servers Crystal and Brittney were so attentive and knowledgable and I had the pleasure to meet the woman behind it all Kaye and she was just divine. The food was delicious and way above my expectation! I have read all the wonderful reviews and wanted to address the lady that wrote about the 'hard of hearing ladies' VERY RUDE and its a tearoom not a library. Pinkadilly is better of without them and discrimanation of people who cannot hear should no be tolerated. So on that note I highly recommend this tearoom who wants to relax, have great food, and a wonderful expierence that they will never forget. And the tea services are to die for!!!! |

Food: Second time to Pinkadilly; salad is what I refer to as 'mixed field weeds or dandilions' - sorry, don't like that kind of salad. Squash quiche and chicken salad were excellent. Lady Londonberry team was delicious. Server was not friendly and seemed very rushed. Would have appreciated a warmer welcome and a smile from the waitress. |

Food: A group of 11 of us went to the Pinkadilly Tea for Mother's Day. The atmosphere was charming from the lace tableclothes to the floral china. We were all invited to pick out a lovely Victorian hat to wear which added to our experience. The food was delicious and the Bread Pudding was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this tearoom. We are already talking about another visit. |

Food: I have been going to Pinkadilly Tea since it has opened. I've known the owner for 20 yrs. and she has put her heart into this business & it shows. Back in January, her children, sisters, family, friends and regular customers gathered for a surprise party in Kay's honor in celebrating her 1 year anniversary. It was a pleasure to be a part of the celebration & was a true testiment to her dedication and hard work. My friends and family drive over 1 hour to have lunch and tea, almost once a month. It has always been well worth the drive. We always look forward to the next visit. Food & atmosphere is out of this world. I hope your experience is a pleasant! |

Food: I can't remember enjoying any afternoon as much as we recently enjoyed our visit to the Pinkadilly Teahouse. My husband and I met some friends and family members during the lunch hour last Saturday at the Pinkadilly Teahouse. It was like walking into a 'dollhouse' (as my friend described it). We were treated like special guests as soon as we arrived. There are special treasures and many of the the owner's collections artfully displayed throughout the historic building. Not only was the decor just charming, but the food was 'off the charts'. I had the fresh homemade tomato soup and quiche. When I go back, I want the same things! My husband had the crab soup and club sandwich, which he thoroughly enjoyed. There were so many choices of teas. I chose the blackberry- and I was not dis... (more) |

Food: Today I made my first visit to Pinkadilly with a small family group. The decor was lovely and inviting. The staff was terrific. The food was as good as I've had anywhere. I had blackberry tea, 1/2 chicken salad and a 1/2 rueben sandwich which was totally wonderful. But, I ordered the she crab soup which was absolutely to die for. While there I bought a gift for my sister and was shocked at the low price for a beautiful teapot nite-lite. I would highly recommend this teahouse to anyone who wanted a nice meal in a wonderful historical place. Again, the decorations were simply stunning, the food was amazing and the staff & the service was superb. It is worth the trip no matter where you're coming from. But, make sure you make reservations. It would be a shame to get there and not be able to get in. We're planning our next trip now! |

Worried that the crowd might be too grown up, but the owner seemed to have a lovely party and lunch planned out, I could not resist. I was very happy that we chose Pinkadilly. Our table was in a corner which helped keep us futher away from guests, whom might want a quiet place, which is great! Most of the guests were very nice as we walked to the table commenting on all the girls' pretty dresses. I will say there was one table which seemed to frown as we made our way back to through the room, but be that as it may, it did not impact our experience. Our party was presented with teapots filled with pink lemonade. The girls spent the fist few minutes sipping and stiring their 'tea'. Soon came the food, t... (more) |

We have been to MANY tea rooms and this is definitely one of the BEST we've been to. One of my 'pet peeves' is tea not being served hot enough and not STAYING hot. Not the case here at this tea room! Due to beautiful tea cozies wrapped around each pot of tea, not only was the first cup piping hot, but the last cup (probably an hour later) was also piping hot. The food was superb also. We will DEFINTELY be back!! Thanks for a memorable Sat. outing! |

I loved it SO much that I just couldn't hardly wait for an opportunity to bring some young friends for an 'all-girls' tea party.

On my first visit I took my daughter for a special treat, and today we attended a birthday party. On my first visit I had the Queen Elizabeth, and it was spectacular. Today I tried the chicken salad sandwich- yum! It was hands-down the best chicken salad I've ever tasted. My girlfriend and I also had the bread pudding for dessert- absolutely decadent. As on my first visit, I was very impressed at how well the tea was brewed. I've been to other tea houses and the tea has obviously not been prepared properly, but this won't happen at Pinkadilly! Our girls had a blast trying on the hats, our server was wonderful, and the atmosphere was charming. I cannot wait to return. |

Food: I recently visited pinkadily Tea with my mother and daughter. We didn't have to listen to 'old ladies scream at each other' but guests did have to maneuver through a childrens birthday party to and from the dining room. And at times the noise level made us feel we were in a McDonalds play room. Although it is also a wonderful place for young children to enjoy, if you're looking for a pleasant afternoon with light music and conversation, I suggest you ask if any childrens parties will be taking place when you make your reservation. Other than that, the food and service was excellent as usual and we will return. |

Food: 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. |

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. |

Food: 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. |

Several times this summer I have visited, they were all dressed differently (mostly inblack).

Food: 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'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! |

Food: 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. |

Food: My daughter and I have made it a tradition to have tea as often as possible and we enjoy visiting various tea rooms wherever we are traveling. Pinkadilly Tea is by far one of our favorites and is everything a tea experience should be at a reasonable price. We highly recommend it! |
