Simpson House Tea Room

Good food and great tea selection. Everything about Simpson Tea House is quality.

Recently had the Royal Tea for Two and found it be excellent. Service was good even tho every table was occupied. We had a soup-salad combo, a tiered server with tea sandwiches, scones & fruit and a dessert plate for two. The server explained everything we had questions about and checked on us frequently except when we were talking when she seemed hesitant to interupt. From what Kaley said...some of the sandwich and dessert choices were obvious and if you had questions, same on you for not asking! Our server was friendly without hovering and very very knowledgeable about tea. We enjoyed every minute and will be back even without the Groupon!

I have found over the years that one of the greatest things about going to tea is how friendly the staff is and how special they make you feel. It's unlike any other dining experience. Unfortunately, that is not the experience I had at Simpson House. Our server only spoke to us minimally and did not describe the different desserts and sandwiches that were served. Disappointed in one of the 'top' tea rooms in the state.

What a wonderful dinning experience at the Simson House Tea Room. Fantastic menu, so much to choose from. The portions of food were more than generous and delicious. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere lovely and relaxing. We can't wait to visit again.

Royal Tea for Two was fabulous but I would suggest lowering the price and giving less food. It was way too much!

Snowflake Swirl is the BEST!

Now this is what a tea room should be: relaxing, charming, good service, great tea selection and good food.

We had a Royal Tea for Two coupon from Groupon. Good food, great tea assortment and pleasant service. Was a good deal; even full price it was a lot of food. We'll be back

Wow what a great tea experience we had over the holiday week! Tea sandwiches were big, fresh & delicious. The scone was wonderful and the choice of teas was unbelievable! We had Snowflake Swirl which was a vanilla creme and Candy Cane which was peppermint. Our only complaint was service was a bit slow but I guess that could be because the dining room was totally full. We even heard them turning people away. Glad we had reservations.

This is one of my favorite tea rooms. I try to go as often as I can. The food is always yummy and service is the best! They have a nice selection of loose leaf teas and do specials of custom blends. I usually try to get the high tea.

Very nicely decorated for the holidays, food was good and service pleasant. Had lots of holiday blends.

Had a Royal Tea for Two and it was fabulous.

THIS WAS AN AWESOME TEA EXPERIENCE. GOOD TEA SELECTION, FRESH TEA SANDWICHES AND THE QUICHE WAS DELICIOUS.

I attended a shower here last weekend in the Rose Room and it was perfectly lovely! We started out with a delicious appetizer of fruit, cheeses and scones with homemade lemon curd, cream and jam, followed by a tea sandwich assortment was attractively presented and the freshest tea sandwiches I've ever had. This all was completed with an assortment of mini desserts including soft and chewy macaroons, to die for brownies with German chocolate frosting, airy gingerbread and some kind of cranberry cake. All this was accompanied by the largest tea menu I have ever seen! And we were able to try different ones...I especially liked the Autumn Spice and the Vanilla Chai. I would recommend this tearoom highly for small events. I understand they hold larger events in the main dining room after hours. Just wonderful Simpson Tea House!

Please consider adding real devonshire cream and lemon curd. Otherwise,atmosphere was excellent.

Great selection of food, Fabulous teas and great service and plesant service.

Nice atmosphere and good food. The selection of tea was great.

Couldn't get in the place on Saturday. What's that all about?

Thank you Groupon. Best deal EVER!

Very nice place with good food not just for the tea lovers altho scones, tea sandwiches and tea selections are great.

This place has it all: charm, good food and a great tea selection. Would recommend to anyone.

Fresh tea sandwiches, great soup, tasteful scones with curd and cream and a wide variety of tea. We were happy!

Came here for lunch with girlfriends. I never knew this place was here! What a well-kept secret. Everything was great. I'd advise to advertise more, but then maybe people wouldn't get in!

Visited this tearoom because I bought a Living Social voucher, what a great find! The Royal Tea for 2 was wonderful, we left full and took home more for later on. Could not believe the choices of tea available, we had a hard time choosing 2 for with our meal. Definatly coming back and can't wait to bring my family and friends.

The autumn teas are here! We wait all year from them and then the Christmas teas. Great selection this year. Also, the apple cinnamon scones are wonderful!

An absolutely perfect luncheon on Sunday! Three of us had a Royal Tea and a Tea for Two. Lots and lots of fresh food, great soup and wonderful tea selection. The Royal Tea was only $24.00 and the Tea for Two was under $30.00. A great value when we usually go to tearooms down the Main Line. Good job Simpson Tea Room!

Another great lunch at this tea room. Love their Chunky Tomato Basil Soup and Fruit, Cheese and Scone Platter. Also love that food selections are available in Petite and Full sizes. Great tea selections, both hot and iced. Always a pleasant experience with great food and service. I'll be back!!

I have to say that it seemed there was an extensive tea and food menu, but the service was lacking. Specifically, I asked for some recommendations and there were none given, either for food or tea. 'I like everything' is not great service. In addition, I didn't feel that the food was too special. It was fine, but absolutely no better than anything I could make in my home (I will say that the scones were wonderful). Finally, I felt that the prices were really high. All that being said, it was a fun time and they have a lot of events for little kids (ex. princess tea, fairy tea, etc.) that we are planning to participate in.

My friend and I had a lovely tea on Saturday. Everything was very good & fresh. Their autumn tea selection was great. Going back for sure.

Why does everyone think a tearoom has to be Victorian or British? This place pulls it off without being either. Good food, good serveice and great selection of tea. Kudos Simpson House!

Only one complaint: too much food!!! We had two Royal Teas and everything was absolutely delicious but wow! We had to take our mini desserts home. Scones were served with homemade lemon curd, cream & jam, the tea sandwiches were very fresh and the pots of tea were fabulous. Can't wait to come back.

Our food was delicious, tea selection was great and place is charming. I would suggest more wait staff and we had to wait to be seated.

We had a Royal Tea for Two that was just perfect. Fresh fruit, salad, tea sandwiches, scones and mini desserts. I had Prince of Wales tea and my friend had Earl Gray. Everything was fresh and wonderful. We'll be back for sure.

Wonderful selection of teas. Can't wait for the autumn selection!

Living Social Deal was great!~

Very nice place with charm, good food and great tea!

Fresh flowers, fine china, linen tablecloths and napkins. I LOVE this place!....not to mention the great food, scones and over 100 loose leaf tea! Bravo!

We love this tearoom. Excellent food, service and knowledge of tea. The Kids Summer Series is great. Glad to hear they are going to have events all yeaar!

This is our favorite tea house in PA. You can pay more but not get more in other places. The best thing is their personal touch. They make everything from scratch and you can taste the difference. The food is fresh, well presented and the tea carefully delivered. They take care to brew it correctly, give you a timer so you do not forget to remove the strainer and do not leave the leaves in the pot like other places. They will provide more water for a second steeping with a smile, and are cheerful except when extremely busy when they are more matter-of-fact. The owner does her own tea mixes that you can sample at your meal and buy in any quantity you like. The atmosphere is cozy with feminine decor that my dgt. and I love but I suspect would make my husband uncomfortable. We solve this by ... (more)not taking him to tea:) The prices are just right and encourage frequent visits and celebrations of life's good times. Reservations are helpful as they can be very busy. My only criticism is that they are not open on Mondays, but I suppose everyone needs time for tea. Congrats on a job well done Simpson House.

We have enjoyed the Kid's Summer Series so much! Can't wait for the Mad Hatters on the 17th! Even will have dressed characters. The Princess and the Frog was adorable!

This is our favorite place to go for a quiet lunch and a great pot of tea!

Lots of teas, homemade scones, lemon curd and chantilly cream to die for, linens, fresh flowers, china tea cups (not chipped like a place I won't mention) and the best tea sandwiches (and not scimpy) what more could you want!

Outstanding food, unbelievable selection of tea and a great Groupon value. Can't wait to come back and use my other one! Thank you Simpson House.

I go to tea at least twice a year. I have tried various places. This 'tea room' seemed more like a luncheon cafe than a tea room. The tea selection was awesome, but the little things that 'make' a tea service, like lemon curd and sugar cubes were missing or of poor quality and poor presentation. The food was good, but I can get good food lots of places, I'm coming for the experience of 'having tea' and there was no ceremony or effort to make it a special moment.

The hostess/waitress barely spoke to us, and offered no description of the various sandwiches and desserts put before us. All of the other tables were treated warmly, and were offered lots of information about the food available or presented to them.

Each course was brought out while we were still only half done with the current course.

Great place to meet with friends. Good food, great tea selection and friendly owners!

I was absolutely appalled when the owners of Simpson House told me about the anonymous review from July 11th. Me and my family have been coming here almost since it opened 4 years ago and have found the owners to be friendly, helpful and pleasant at all times. As for the food, I can't express how good and fresh we always find the food. It is a shame that 'anonymous' wouldn't address specific issues and just left a general 'horrible' review. Stand up and be counted if you want to be addressed.

Horrible food, horrible owners

Took a friend to lunch today and everything was just spectacular. Upon entering the dining room, it was amazing how comfortable and calm everything seemed even though the place was packed! Soft music was playing, crisp linens and fresh flowers on each table and the decorations are superb without being fussy. Food was fantastic from the homemade soup to the homemade scones. We will definitely be back!

Took a group of boys to the Cars kids tea. They had a great time! Everything was superb, the food, the games even bingo and everyone went home happy. Not an easy thing!

Very nice place, good food, great tea selection and friendly staff

Had a Royal Tea for One from Groupon. Great food and lots of it, great tea selection and great service! Thank you

Princess Tea was absolutely the best!

Finally, the summer kids is here! Can't wait....its worth every penny

Wonderful food, great tea, pleasant waitress....just a little long service. Could I suggest more wait staff!

We had a very nice lunch on Saturday. Everything was fresh and good.

A good place for a quiet lunch, a good pot of tea and enjoyment with friends.

Went here with a friend for a first time 'tea experience'. The staff made it easy and fun. Helped me pick out a tea I would like, and had enough variety to make a picky eater happy. Had the Dutchess Tea that was enough to fill me up but still leave room for dessert. Tried a Victorian Fool that was perfect for a summer day. Am already planning a second trip with another friend!

good food, beautiful place, great selection of tea

This is my girls favorite place to go! Of course, we make them sit like little ladies and use their manners. They can't wait for the Girls Tea Parties to start this summer. We always try to make at least twice a month! Worth every penny.

We had a lovely tea here on Sunday. Delicious!

Good food, knowledgable about tea and pleasant service. A relaxing place for sure!

Really great place to eat lunch with friends!

Just learned that this tearoom is doing their summer afternoon teas for children again this year. I am so glad, my two granddaughter's LOVED them last year. What a nice way to spend Wednesday afternoons. Thank you Simpson House for doing this little bit of graciousness with alot of fun!

We went for tea on Mother's Day and what a treat! We had an appetizer, starter, entree, tea & assorted desserts all for under $20.00 per person. And we were'nt rushed in the least. The servers were very nice and attentives and the owner's knowledge of tea what amazing. Can't wait to go back

This is our favorite place to relax and have a family outing. We are going to the Mother's Day tea on Sunday as we have the past three years. It's always busy but the service is great, the food is fabulous and the teas are out of this world! What a treat for Mother's Day!

Me and three friends went to the Royal Wedding Tea here last Friday.
What fun we had with a royal tea blend, scones, tea sandwiches and dessert (Royal Wedding Cake , of course). We all wore hats and had a ball. Thanks to the tearoom for a great time.

This is our favorite tearoom in the tri-county area. Scones and homemade lemon curd are the best as is the wide selection of tea.

Make sure you get a reservation! They serve all week long, and sometimes people think it's not as busy during the week. I love it here. The food is always great, as is the service, even when they're super busy (sure it takes a little longer but who goes to tea in a rush)

This is our favorite place to go for scones, tea sandwiches & tea. Almost 100 to choose from!

Easter brunch was enjoyed by all!

Sunday Tea Time saw us with a Tea for Three that left us all satisfied. We had tea sandwiches, scones, tea bread, tea & soup and even had a chocolate! We'll be back for sure!

This is a charming little tea room complete with homemade scones and curd. They boast 100 loose leaf teas and now that I've found them, I'm going to try to sample everone!

Me and some of my friends had a wonderful lunch here on Saturday. The scones were excellent complete with lemon curd and cream. The tea sandwiches were nice and fresh and not miniscule. The Easter teas rounded out a perfect lunch!

This place has charm, good food and friendly owner.
She really knows her tea.

Had lunch here today...was great. Come in and try the Easter teas!

I was a guest at a baby shower and I can't say enough good things about this place! The tea sandwiches were great, the choice of hot tea and iced tea was fabulous and even the cake decorated with fresh flowers was really special. They even cheerfully accomodated the special dietary needs of two guests. I can't wait to have my small party here.

What a wonderful place for tea! They are featuring their Celtic Teas for St. Paddy's Day and I had the Dublin Miss. It was fabulous! Can't wait to come back and try them all. The tea sandwiches were great and the Italian Wedding soup had both mini meatballs and chunks of chicken breast and my daughter's friend went bananas over the buttercream cupcake and ice cream.

We have a wonderful Valentine Tea for Two this weekend at Simpson Tea House. Everything was perfect: fresh fruit, delicious soup, the freshest decorated tea sandwiches, pots of loose leaf tea made just for Valentine's Day and the petite desserts ended a perfect meal. Thank you for a very special treat. Can't wait for the St. Paddy's Day Tea!
