Food: This past weekend I had the my first tea outing with my daughter.I did not know what to expect or even what to do at a TEA.The people here had no problem helping me to feel comfortable and taught me the basics of what having tea is really about.The staff was great, and the food was very good.After visiting this tea room, I have a better understanding of the tea experience. I will go back. |

Food: I have been to this tea room twice this month and it has been wonderful. It is located in one of the oldest homes in Occoquan. The first visit there was a leak in the ceiling that the owner Lisa said the Landlord has finally approved for fixing. The second it was fixed. The food was incredibly fresh and creative. The selection of teas was about 25 and offered a wide variety of every type. A definite must! Oh, and enjoyed the shopping in town too. |

Food: We had a delightful time at this quaint tea room in Historic Occoquan. The selection of teas where very unique and it was hard to choose. We had the full Queen's Tea and it was perfect for lunch. The vegetable soup was delicious and my girlfriend said the salad with cantalope, blue cheese and balsamic dressing was veryn tasty.. Thumbs up and we will definitely be back. |

Food:  I was very disappointed in this tea room. They offered hats for us to wear during tea. I thought this was a sweet touch. The rooms themselves were average. I didn't feel I was indulging myself with the setting. The real disappointment came with the serving of food and tea. Everything was cold. I've never had cold scones. The tea was tepid. We had to ask for a second pot because our tea was so cold. They did offer lemonade as an alternative for our daughters. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Our server promptly brought a second pot of tea and this one was warmer. Overall we were disappointed in our afternoon. |

Food: Went to the tea room several years earlier and loved it. Now Summer 2009 it is awful. The first thing that hit me was the smell of moldy and wet carpet. The place has gone down hill. I took a friend after raving about a great tea room & we walked in and she immediately stated I will not eat or have tea here. I smell the moldy room and agreed and felt bad for offering to go there. Will go elsewhere. Smells as though there was water damage at one time and it was not attended to. |

Food: What a charming tea room we found in Historic Occoquan, not Quantico. It is located in one of the oldest homes in Occoquan. The service was charming and the presentation was excellent. Lisa loves using the freshest fruits andn flower to accent her tea sandwiches and desserts. The scones were to die for! We certainly will be back. |

Food:  Dont even bother! I had heard there was a cute tea place in Quantico so my mother and I drove all the way there (we live in southern va) because we love tea house. We walked into a very dingy looking lobby area with severely soiled carpets to a girl who immediately told us that we could not eat there (NO ONE WAS IN THE PLACE) because they only had enough food for the reservations that day. #1 If you are running a food establishment of any kind, have enough food to feed people all day long and #2 Don't admit it to unsuspecting customers if you can't- at the least make something up! We were so taken off gaurd that we stublemed out and went to a seafood restuarant down the street even though we had driven all the way there... Not so happy. |

Food: My party and I had an enjoyable evening. As soon as we arrived we were promptly seated. Within moments our order was placed. The tea was hot and the scones were tasty. Very skimpy on the fruit and desserts. The interior needs much needed repairs. Holes in ceiling and the carpet was badly soiled. |

Food: My friend and I spent a lovely afternoon with Lisa at her tea room. The food was great, and Lisa was so eager to have us try different teas to our delight. The atmosphere is darling with bicycles in all the rooms as well as lovely artwork that you may purchase. My favorite sandwich was the ham with honey mustard on raisin bread. Having tea is an experience, not like going to a restaurant where fast service is important. In a tea room, NOT being rushed is as important to allow people to sit, let their tea simmer, chat, and connect with one another. Lisa's tea room is a wonderful place to do that. Everyone is greeted warmly and treated like a guest in Lisa's home. Keep up the great work, and I will definately be visiting again! |

Food: I just returned from my 6th visit to this tea room, and was not disappointed! We were greeted with a smile, and were seated promptly, even without a reservation. We were offered a variety of teas, and were able to share as many pots as we wanted. The food was good, and we certainly did not go away hungry! We had fresh fruit, a variety of sandwiches, and desserts, as well as a large scone and fresh salad with blueberries. Our waitress was personable and attentive, checking with us often to see if we needed anything. At the end of our tea, the owner, Lisa, arrived and greeted us as well. She then brewed us another pot of tea to taste, sat with us, and shared a vast amount of tea knowledge. Upon leaving, we purchased several teas, and were given a sample of the Pink Bicycle house blen... (more) |

Food: My sorority sisters and I had the pleasure of having tea at The Pink Bicycle yesterday and were very pleased with the whole experience. The scones were absolutely amazing -large and buttery! I enjoyed the high tea and was very impressed. The salad was beautifuland fresh and sported an unusual, tasty dressing. The finger sandwiches were delicous - especially their signature cucumber sandwich. Dessert was wonderful as well - we especially enjoyed their rich, dense brownies. There were seven of us and we were allowed to try as many of the teas as we wanted (and we tried several). Our tea servers were gracious and attentive, refilling teas, keeping us well supplied with food, taking our photos...I will definitely return! |

Food: My girl freind and I both order the high tea but were told we had to share a pot of tea even though we were each paying for pot. My freind likes green teas and I like decaf ones we couldn't agree on a hot tea so we ask for ice tea, they didn't have any. The scoons were so dry we couldn't eat them. The tea sandwiches were nothing perticual and the desserts tasted packaged. Needless to say we won't go back there again. |

Food: Although we had resevations the service was very slow. Our tea arrived long before or scone and was quite cold before our tea sandwiches arrived. The small sandwiches were tasteless and disappointing. The desert of a brownie and two small cookies tasted packaged. Our orders were given to the wrong parties, and when we questioned the server she did not know what we ordered or what should be included in our order. We had to show her on the menu what we had ordered, one order was short and the server did not want to correct the error, although she did eventually. The 'ordeal' took almost four hours, most of which was waiting for food to be served. Very disappointing experience! |

Food: My first (and last) visit to this establishment was in early Jan. Three friends and I decided to start the new year with a Tea. We each ordered the Queen's Tea and, as one companion quipped, 'I am under-whelmed' with this place. The tea was not steeped long enough for my preference, making the beverage taste thin. The tea sandwiches (3) were miserly and tasteless. The scone, while freshly baked, was dry and was served with whipped cream, NOT clotted cream. None of of made a dent in the desserts as they consisted of a Cosco-ish brownie, pound cake, and tea bread. The best part of the meal was the teacup of soup I had and my friends said the salad was good. The service, while slow, was charming as is the atmosphere. |

Food: Our experiece was just stellar. It is such a charmineg place - one of the oldest buildings in Occoquan. We enjoyed the Queen's Tea and it was a delightful lunch. Lisa's (the owner)homemade Tomato Bisque was very tasty and my girlfriend's loved thier salad that had been lightly tossed in a strawberry vinegarette. The selection of petit desserts was just perfect for the sweet tooth in all of us. And the best part of all were the scones! By far the best we have ever had, so we bought some to take home. We will definitely be back with more friends. |

Food: We always do birthday teas for my daughter's birthdays and hoped for a nice experience. We made reservations and arrived a few minutes before our reservation time. Great first impression of the tea room, nice decor and there were tea hats for my daughters to wear. However, the staff told us our table would not be ready for about 15 minutes as the previous guests had not finished. We were OK with that as it gave more time to look at the decor. We were seated 15 minutes late and one of the first comments from the server was that the table had a following reservation in 45 minutes, implying we shouldn't linger (even though we had not yet ordered). As the time for the next reservation approached, the staff hovered around our table, removing dishes and definitely giving the impression we should... (more) |

Food: We went there for our annual 'holiday tea'. We try to go to two or three tea rooms a year. We were disappointed with the atmosphere, the cleanliness, and the tea selection. The food was good, the salad was excellent but the tea was awful. The owner was VERY nice but her server was abrasive and unattentive. We won't be re-visiting this tea room. It's a shame but it really has potential. |
