The tea menu has been expanded to include over 75 loose leaf teas and sachets including teas imported from the world’s finest plantations. Black, oolong, green teas and herbals [tisanes] are well represented. Several teas are blended with aromatic flowers, tasty fruits, spices and flavorings. Our favorite teas are available in convenient packages in the gift shop and upon request.
The tea experience provides an escape from the hectic live-style where the patrons are encouraged to sample different teas in an unhurried warm and cozy cottage setting. Children are able to enjoy the menu in smaller portions with several different theme parties for any occasion. For those young and old individuals who enjoy an opportunity to dress up, a wide hat selection of hats is available to wear. The Red Hat groups are warmly invited.

Food:  The Tea and Teacups owner and staff are gracious, courteous, and a genuine pleasure to be around. I was one of the hostesses for a bridal shower and our original venue cancelled on us at the last minute. Tea and Teacups was right there to offer their professionalism and expertise and help save the day. The bridal shower was a huge success and most of that can be attributed to Tea and Teacups assistance in providing a comfortable atmosphere, wonderful service, and an abundance of teas and goodies. Everyone was enjoying themselves so much, we got carried away with time, and they graciously let us stay over almost an hour past our reserved time frame with no problems and a very welcoming attitude. I highly recommend this tearoom. |

Food: I have visited Tea and Teacups several times with friends and each visit has been a delight! The Tearoom is cozy and pretty. The service, the food, and the tea are the best! My favorite is the delicious Ham salad sandwich! The scones are made on site and are the best I've ever had! We really love to try the different teas that are available. Rhonda, our waitress and the owners, Claudia & Terry were a wealth of knowledge about the numerous teas. My friends and I will continue to treat ourselves to Tea & Teacups. What a great place! |

Food:  My friend and I went to this teahouse earlier this year and I feel compelled to write a 'review' after reading some other comments. The good points were the service. We were the only table in the place, so we had good service. They seemed pretty slow that day, so they were probably happy to have us. Our waitress was nice. The place was still decorated with Xmas stuff, but the place was WAY too frilly for our taste. But it is high tea, so it was ok. The food was not good. Deviled Ham with Black Currant Jelly. Need I say more??? The other was Chicken with Apricot Jam. I don't even think we got any further than that with the tea sandwiches. The scone was nothing special. I do remember the cake/dessert thing being inedible. We got a box for it and ended up just throwing it away. I think you'd go there if you just want the atmosphere. Like I said our waitress was nice. Oh and the tea was good, but I don't think I would go for anything other than that. |

Food: I attended a mystery play at Tea and Teacups last Friday evening as was enchanted with everything. The food and service were exceptional and the play was a real treat. The actors did a great job in the space available and it was a genuine mystery. Hat off to the owners! |

Food: We had a group of 8 who attended on an extremely busy May Saturday. We had our own private room, which made it much easier to hear everything. The selection of teas was fabulous-- there were probably 100 or so options. Everyone loved their meals. The spinach/mushroom quiche was amazing, as was the Welsh rarebit. We were also served refills on our teas, which I found many tea houses don't. We all agreed that we would definitely come back here again. |

Food: We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon at this lovely tea shop! The teas were numerous and to say the least, delicious. The hostess was attentive and personable - we made a new friend. Another group was having a birthday party for an eight year old with all her friends - we enjoyed watching them with their polka dot tea cups while our bridal shower guests arrived. The food inspired us all to try new recipes at home, but we truly appreciated the tastes while we visited. By the way, the bride was new to 'having tea' and she loved it! We'll return soon! |

Food: Wow...where do I begin. Well, my daughter (Gabby, 6) and I went to this tea room as a last minute thing, because they were hosting a Alice In Wonderland theme:) OMG, so cute and amazing. This tea room was not only nice, traditional, and homely but it offered a theatrical piece which was really fun for Gabby and myself. The food was great, the theatre group was awesome and attentive to the audience, and the service was very good. I definitely will return, especially when they have another performance like this one. This by far was the best tea experience we both had. Thank you. Also kind of pricey but worth it for the two hour performance and food. |

Food: We had the pleasure of visiting this tearoom on 3/1. We were a large group of 10 and the service was wonderful, the owner Claudia and her assistant were extremely kind, warm, welcoming, and gracious. You had the feeling of being in someone's home, who really knew how to serve a good high tea! The carrot & apple soup was very good. The tea was HOT and tasty. Everything was delicious. The decor was pretty and the gift shop was very dangerous, I agree. Many beautiful items for sale, and she will even wraps them for you if you need her to. My tea cirle has been visiting tearooms and hosting teas for the past 8 years and this tea room is the best of the best! We usually don't go to the same tearoom twice, but I feel in this case we will need to make an exception! |

Food: I used to love this tea room when it first opened way back when and now with the new ownership I've got that lovin' feeling back again. Claudia is kind, unassuming and gracious and makes you feel sincerely welcome. The shop on the other hand is a danger -- way too many beautiful & tempting goodies for purchase :) I look forward to coming here more often... (and I apologize for the emoticon) |

Food: This tea room is a gem. Although we have patroned many a tea room, my tea friends and I are always happy to visit Tea & Teacups. The food and ambiance are never dissapointing. The service was previously my only complaint however it has improved dramatically the past few years. We will continue to come again and again. In our experience, we agree, the price reflects the level of quality food and service offered. |
