600 Main, Victorian Tearoom

Visiting 600 Main under new management was the best decision I've made in a long time! Everything is beautiful, from the house, to the decor, even down to the teacups! The service was consistent, the tea was delicious, and the food was simply the best I've had in a while. It was easy to tell without asking that the food is prepared similarly to a home cooked meal, but with the delicacy of a tea room. The owners are warm, pleasant, and friendly. It feels more like visiting friends at their home than visiting an establishment. Very cozy, very nice, very memorable. Can't wait to come back.

We went on Mother's Day and it was positively lovely. The tea was delish and the food divine. The house was drop dead gorgeous and every attention to detail was there. We felt like we stepped back in time in a good way. The table settings were beautiful and every place setting was unique and special. The service was stupendous. Thank you for making our visit so very special!!

600 Main Victorian Tearoom is absolutely the best tearoom I've ever visited. They have an extensive offering of tea and begin with setting three 'highlighted' loose-leaf teas on a tray for you to be tempted by as you look over the menue of teas. After making your tea selection, the meal begins with course after delicious course of home-made soup, scones (with clotted cream and lemon curd), tea sandwiches and tea desserts. And your full-size pot of tea is served with a cozy! I can't believe the number of tea rooms I've been to that overlook the necessity of keeping the tea hot! Thank you, Sue, for the beautiful tea cozies! We made a 3:30 reservation and were so full, that we all skipped dinner that night (including my husband) and weren't hungry all evening! Next time, I'll ask for s... (more)ome of my food to be wrapped--it was a feast! The hostess, Susan, is very friendly and informative. She's done a lovely job restoring a beautiful home. The house itself is worthy its own review! The tea 'room' is actually three rooms on the ground floor. Each room is charmingly furnished and elegantly cozy. And the tea cup collection! You get to browse the rooms and select the cup you want to drink from--many of them gorgeous antiques. A visit here is a delightful treat!

My sister surprised me for a birthday tea party with my mom, sister, daughters and nieces. The atmosphere and ambiance of 600 Main is amazing. I highly recommend this place and look forward to my next visit!!

One of the best Afternoon Teas I have ever had the tea sandwichs, the scones and the desserts were wonderful. My Husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. The owners were very nice and we really liked hearing about the history of their home. We will definately be back again. What a lovely afternoon.

An absolutely lovely experience. The food was not only plentiful but delicious and beautifully presented. The owner was warm and welcoming and made us feel very much at home. Altogether a great afternoon..and I am making dinner reservations for next week!!

My sister and I visited this tea room on March 14th. We were pleasantly surprised at the authentic decor and quality of the afternoon tea. The menu is delicious with a tremendous amount of offerings. Sue, the owner, is warm and charming. We enjoyed hearing of her experience in purchasing the Mathis House and the history it holds. You will not be disappointed with this tea house. I can't wait to return!

I have visited many tea rooms but never have I had such a pleasant experience as this afternoon at 600 Main. The tea and food served were all outstanding and the owner an staff could not have been more pleasant or accomodating. This is now on my list of 'THE PLACE TO GO'

My husband treated me to a Tea for my birthday & he came with me! I found this one on the internet & picked it because of the rreviews. We were not disappointed. The house itself is beautiful, there's so much to look at and enjoy. We might give the Bed & Breakfast a try. Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of visiting this tea house last week. It was like taking a trip back to a time when life was more genteel. The tea offerings were subperb. The presentation with the tea pot wrapped in a cosy was the best. Our tea was warm throughout the whole meal and meal it was. There was so much to eat we surely gained a few pounds. Susan the owner couldn,t have been more helpful.We were 10 older ladies and one gentleman (who wants to go back) everyone of us can,t rave enough about everything. We will be back soon. Thank you Susan and Gail for a most enjoyable afternoon. Please consider this as ten reviews as I'm the only one with a computer.

My husband and I visit 2 to 3 tearooms per week and last week we had tea here for the first time. Not only was the food and service wonderful, but we had the pleasure of meeting the owner. Susan was so easy to talk to and made our visit even more enjoyable. There was so much food, that we took home our desserts and enjoyed them the next day. A visit to this tearoom is a must if you truly enjoy going to Afternoon Tea and we are looking forward to our next visit in the very near future.

On Wednesday, the 30th of January, I introduced a good friend to Susan Notte and her newly acquired 600 Main. Ever since I have lived in this area, I have wanted to visit this beautiful Victorian tea room. Susan and her husband have made it the shining star of Main Street in Toms River. I have been a part of serving the teas at the Ocean County Historical Society, and I know how a tea is properly served.
Susan has done an excellent job...with her sparkling personality, her delicious teas, and her very tastey tea sandwiches and desserts. One couldn't want more. This historical home has been spruced up. It is light and bright and so warm and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

A must see, a must visit and a must experience 'Afternoon High Tea' at 600 on Main. Susan Notte the innkeeper (as she would like to be called), transformed this beautiful mansion into a visit from the past. A warm and inviting Bed and Breakfast (great rooms) with the added bonus of a tea parlor. I have experienced high tea and this one is right up there. Involved in the culinary world I was pleasantly surprised at the preparation of sweet and savory offerings. Everything was delicious and homemade. The service was very attentive and relaxing. My family will be returning on a regular basis and will bring more family and friends. Thank you!

Being as I had never experienced a true 'English Tea' before, I was not sure what to expect. After Visiting 600 on Main, I am so sorry I waited so long! From the moment you drive up to this spectacular mansion, you feel a part of something special. Every room more beautiful than the last hosting a wide variety of teas, and a delicious array of treats served graciously by attentive and cheerful women who you feel are a part of your party. Susan Notte has truly transformed this versatile Bed & Breakfast into a palace. Truly a wonderful afternoon. Thank you!

Just got back from this Beautiful Victorian Tearoom! A beatiful afternoon in this Beautiful Home! Susan the new owner is so sweet and the service, food and atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It was actually the BEST cup of tea I ever had! I was there once before under the previoius owner, but Susan got it right! Your visit there will definately make you want to go back! I would move in if I could. This 1898 Mansion just gives you an experiance you won't forget! If you appreciate that Victorian charm, you won't be dissapointed!

A timeless elegance has come to Toms River, NJ with the re-opening of 600 Main, a lovely bed & breakfast and Victorian Tea Room. The new owner Susan Notte is delightful and extremely creative. The homemade selections were all delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was very personable and very attentive. All in all, my friend and I had a lovely afternoon and I look forward to my next visit. Treat yourself to a complete sensory experience. You won't be disappointed.

This tea room is a fantastic find! I went with friends to celebrate a birthday and we were treated like queens at this Queen's Tea. The tea room is part of a glorious bed and breakfast that is decorated to make you feel as though you stepped back in time. Big fireplaces in each room just put the finishing touch on the whole lovely victorian experience. Beautiful china adorned each table and the selection of teas was wonderful and varied. Every morsel of food was all homemade, beautifully presented and served with a smile. There was enough food to satisy as a meal as well. And the owner, Susan, happily boxed our leftovers to go. My friends and I enjoy the whole tea experience and have been to several in New Jersey - THIS tea room is a treasure for sure!

A good friend and I were in much need of a good 'catching-up' and decided to make a reservation at the Queen Victoria Tea Room which we heard was under new ownership. What a lovely experience we had this afternoon! Upon entering the exquisite buidling, which we learned is also a bed and nreakfast, we were warmly welcomed by owner Susan Notte and guided to a beautifully set table in one of the elegant rooms. We were presented with a great assortment of both savory and sweet food - all delicious and all homemade. The server was very sweet and friendly and quite knowledgable about the wide variety of teas offered as well. My friend and I were able to take our time and enjoy every each other's company as well as every course from the homemade soup to delectible sweets. It was a truly wonderful experience - and we will be back!

The Queen Victoria Tea Room is now under new ownership and if you are an avid tea lover like me, this is a must. The owner, Susan greeted us at the door with a warm welcome. Our table was beautifully set with the finest china, and the food was amazing. All homemade and fresh, I can't say enough about this place and highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.
