Food: I visited your tearoom today for my 10th birthday with my Auntie Jo and Mom. My dad is British and I have visited many tearooms including the Ritz in London. Your tearoom is my fave in the US. Your scones are delicious. The tea sandwiches are exellent and your ambience is lovely. Despite our being late, our server was as sweet as could be!! Your shop provided me with the perfect solution for a birthday gift for my best friend. I bought a beautiful teacup and saucer complete with strawberry tea and preserves along with biscotti and candy all wrapped in celophane and a bow. You were so hospitable. Thank you! My birthday was awesome. I'll be back!!!!! |

Food: went with a girl scout troop 4th graders- would never recommend it for kids. the selection of tea was good, the food was mediocre and the hostess/owner was not very nice to the kids. |

Tearoom Response
We are sorry that Jill was not pleased with the Mother-Daughter tea she attended. It's very hard to be pleasant to the girls when some were not very nice little ladies. Some girls repeatedly had to be asked to please sit down, stop touching all the breakables and rummaging through our reservation desk, to please stop playing in the bathroom in groups of four and five and just generally to please act like young ladies should act. Some of the girls were repeatedly asked to PLEASE return to the room where their activity was being held. Maybe fourth grade is too young especially when some Mothers wanted to sit with other mothers not their daughters. As for the food choices, the meal was prepared with the youngsters in mind not the Mothers and perhaps that was our mistake also.

Food: After reaing the reviews about the Princess teas, I am very disappointed that you are not having them this summer. My grandaughter and I attended two of the teas and were looking forward to going to another princess tea. I was not under the impression that a 'princess' was going to be there and I thought the price was fair...Regarding the menu..I know it was little muffins, but the children ate the muffins or brownies and probably would not have eaten the scones. The sandwiches could have been a bit more kid friendly, but there are other teas for children that are double the price and certainly not worth the $25.00 per person. Wishing you would reconsider. |

Food: What a charming tearoom. We had Sunday brunch here and it was a nice change from a normal breakfast. The croissant French toast was excellent as well as the tea sandwich platter. Well worth the trip! |

Food: This is hands down my favorite tea room, and one of my very favorite places to have lunch. The food is excellent. The decor is elegant without being stuffy. The specials that include soup and one of the amazing desserts are a very good value. If you had just soup and dessert, it would be worth the trip! I have also found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. This is a great place to go with friends to have a relaxed meal with food to ooooo and ahhhhh over. |

Food: I am a great fan of tearooms and visit this one often. Their scones with homemade lemon curd & cream are superb and contrary to the previous review you can get them by themselves. I do all the time with a lovely pot of loose leaf tea. I was also appalled at her suggestion of sugar lumps! How unsanitary! Germs, sneezes & children. I have also found tearooms who use doilies are sometimes hiding stained and chipped china. Linens are used here with lovely fresh flowers on the tables. How unfortunate to get a bad review for sins not committed. Thank you. Debbie W., Chester Springs |

Food: I have been to ALOT of tearooms and this one is average at best. All tearooms should have the niceaties like lump sugar and doilies, fine linens. Scones with cream and lemon curd should be available on the menu, not just with certain orders. The nice thing about a tea room is to stop in for a cup of tea and scones!! |

Tearoom Response
We are sorry you missed the scones under the 'light fare' section of our menu as they ARE available just by themselves. We also do use linens not paper and do not consider lump sugar appropriate for use in our tearoom. Thank you.

Food: Went to the tea room recently. Was very happy with the appearance of the room and very friendly and helpful wait staff. Unfortunately, the food portions left A LOT to be desired. I had the tea sampler plate which would have left my 5 year old still hungry for something else. The little tea sandwiches, and I do mean LITTLE, came with 3 blackberries and a half of a kiwi, talk about small portions!! For the price, the plate should have had some chips or at least a pickle or coleslaw on it, very disappointing! The dessert was worse, there were only 3 items listed on the dessert menu and not one of them was the scones they offer as 'The Best'. You can only get a scone if you order the plate that it comes with! My cake was so small it looked like it was out of Alice in Wonderland. Everyt... (more) |

Food: I absolutely love Simpson House Tea Room. I have been going there several times a month,since it opened. Sometimes with my children, other times with my friends. It is a wonderful place to enjoy good food, and visit with friends. My five children all ask to go there. Everything is delicious but my favorite is the homemade soups. Each one better than the one before. They are very friendly and welcoming with wonderful food. You must try the soups! I was surprised at the parents remarks about the childrens tea. My children have always been welcomed and made to feel at home. A wonderful experience each and every time. Delightful! |

Food: We were there last weekend with some girlfriends. The weather was lousy and the Dickens Christmas celebration in Eagle was cancelled. The people were very friendly and the tea was good and served very nicely. The food (we had the brunch) was average. My quiche had very little flavor, but the potato casserole was good. There are all hardwood floors throughout and there must have been a party upstairs. We were near the stairs. The whole time we were there, people were squeezing past us to go up and down the stairs and it was very annoying. I wouldn't tell you to avoid this Tea Room, but Arianna's in West Chester is much more cozy. They are 5 starts. |
