The Gilbertsville Tearoom

My daughter and grand-daughter and I went to the Cinderella tea on this weekend. Cinderella(Rachel) was the best part. She was friendly and very interactive with the little ones. The rest of the experience was very lacking to say the least. I ordered the high tea and never got a pot of tea. I was given the first cup and had to ask for a second cup which I recieved along with the rolling of the eyes of the server. Presentation was lacking along with owner & server's lack of interaction with the little girls who had a big day out and all were dressed in their princess outfits. Not one comment from the owner or greeting and no effort to the servers appearance as she was wearing jeans. Our server gave us the check before offering the desserts and then.. served the desserts and told us 'we need... (more) the table we are going to have to ask you to leave'... Unbeliveable. We had exactly one hour to have high tea...and there where 3 empty tables in the room we were in along with 3 more in the other room with no-one waiting for a table...The other 2 tables of guests were absolutely shocked by the server's statement and voiced it to me...thankfully my grand-daughter was messmerized by Cinderella and her day was not spoiled - but as for me I will spend my $50 elsewhere. Sorry but we will never return.

Took my daughter here for the princess tea this past weekend. Overall we had a great experience (although she kept asking where the princesses were - there was one woman dressed up in a cinderella dress - she was very nice and interactive with the kids, but my daughter didn't think she was a princess). Greated by the owner - she is very welcoming and friendly. The waitress we had was ok, not too friendly, but did her job. Decor is very nice and clean. The strawberry tea and pink lemonade were tasty. The chocolate chip scones were also very good. My daughter had the egg salad tea sandiches - which was basically an egg salad sandwich cut into 3 pieces. Not bad tasting - but seriousily lacking any kind of presentation. I had the bacon quiche - very tasty - again lacking any kind of presentati... (more)oon...just thrown on a plate. I also had the potato soup - which was alright, tasted like it was made from a mix. The side salad was alright nothing special. We had some deserts as well which were tasty, but again nothing special. Not sure if they are made there or bought somewhere. I would go again because it was a special day for me and my daughter and most of the food was tasty, but I have been to other tea rooms with more of a homemade taste and alot better presentation.

Went there today with my Niece, sister-in-law and my mother for the Princess Tea and we had a great time. This all of our first times at a tea house and we are looking to do it again next year for mother's day. The food was great and so was the tea. Would highly recommend!

The food was very good but presentation was lacking in the tea was not hot and I had a chipped tea cup. The server was not very friendly.
