Food: My mom was visiting from out of state so we decided to try Tea, Lace & Roses. Everyone was so friendly and the food was great. The decor was so welcoming and fit well with the theme. We even bought home some loose tea. And when they ran out of the flavor I wanted to buy they took down my information so that they can call me and ship the tea to me when it is available again. Going to this tea house will now be a new tradition for whenever my mom comes for a visit. I wish we had the time to go back before she leaves. |

Food: Very nice afternoon for my friend of 40 years and I. It was her 50th birthday and I was at a loss of what to do to commemorate her special day when I thought of TLR. While neither of us are tea drinkers, I LOVED the spiced pear tea and she tried the chocoate tea. The food was fine, but the best part was that it is such a departure from the usual fare and atmosphere. Thank you and we will be back! |

Food: 3 of my friends and I had the full English tea this past Tuesday. The tea started off with a scone which puzzled us so we asked why it was served first. We were told it was their tradition which was fine with us. The food was excellent as was the tea. I personally don't like flavored teas with food which is why I don't frequent the local tearoom in my city. All of us at tea that day are great tea aficionados and we were all quite pleased with our full English tea. It had been quite some time since our last visit. Hopefully we will be returning soon. |

Food:  The dress up room and the tea and scones are WONDERFUl. However, the tea for two food was AWFUL. The chicken salad had wonderful flavoring, but the chicken itself tasted like it came from a can. The raw mushroom with spinach dip was bitter. The quiche cup was cold. The cucumber topping tasted like it was capers mixed with a sweet pepper of sorts. I was SO disappointed. The dessert (and only one) was dry pumpkin bread that tasted like it was at least a day old. If you decide to visit. GET the tea and a scone. Skip out on the tea for two or anything more. Have fun dressing up and take lots of pictures. |

Food: What a wonderful place to spend time, enjoying finer things of life. I invite everyone to enjoy an afternoon and be pampered. I took my sister for birthday and then invited a visitor to my home from WV to lunch. Her first trip to a Tea room, we enjoyed variety of 3 teas, wonderful scones and other delightful food. But most of all is the way you personally feel, Pat prepares wonderful food & Monica gives great service. It is a great escape from the ordinary and gives much needed mental relaxation. God Bless you for all you put into making a place for me & my friends to experience. Love Nathena Darlene |

Food: 'Tea, Lace & Roses' is defiantely 'MY HAPPY SPOT!!!' I have been going to this quaint and beautiful Victorian tearoom for many years and EVERY visit is unique and very special. The variety of tea choices is amazing - our favorites are coconut/almond, raspberry rooibos and spicey revelry. The food is FUN and delicious and served so elegantly. The servers make each person feel so special and cared for. My experience has ALWAYS been top-notch - GIRLS, you've just got to go there!!! |

Food: I took my 7 year old daughter out for a special treat. We both loved it! We tried each of the three 'community teas' cream earl grey,fiji green, and coconut almond roobios. We both enjoyed them a great deal as well as the lavender scones with lime curd YUM! My daughter couldn't decide witch she liked more dress up or the tea itself. Had a delightful time and the service was excellent. |

Food: I am new to the area (only 5 months) and this was my second visit here. I have been to many tea places in many states and this is one of the best. The owner and staff are extremely helpful and kind. They go out of their way to make you feel like you are the only guests they have to serve. They even played a CD of piano music that I saw in the gift shop by my request. It is more like going to a close friend's home or the home of a family member. Try their 'Tea for Two' with a friend. You will enjoy it. |

Food: My husband and I so enjoyed our full service tea on Saturday. We were treated as honored guests. The individual teapots were unique and lovely. The lemon curd was so delicious! The sweet treats called 'orange coolers' were special. The fillings for the tea sandwiches were of high quality. My one suggestion would be to fill the filo dough cups and the croissants at the last minute so they do not lose their texture. Also, it was a very good value for the price. We look forward to coming back! Thank you! |

Two weeks ago we had the pleasure of taking my daughter-in-law and two granddaughters with us when we visited here for the first of what will be many times. There aren't enough superlatives to adequately praise Paula for her hospitality and patience, nor accolades lofty enough for the quality of teas and scones. We've savored hundreds of tearooms over the years, and Lace, Tea, and Roses earns five-star status (and Paula gets a halo) for the memorable afternoon spent in Culpeper. Thank you for enriching our lives and being a part of a treasured memory, Paula. |
