The Roswell Teahouse

We had a 'High Tea' Birthday luncheon at the teahouse and it was very nice. They let us stay and talk after we were finished, the tea and food was delicious and it was great that we could try as many teas as we'd like. However, it seemed rediculous to have to pay an extra $1 for a 'premium' tea which most were, after paying $24 for High Tea. Also, ALL oolongs were premium!? That is what I drink every day. My friend also had a chipped plate, which should have been tossed. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I think there's room for a few changes especially for High Tea.

My first time to this teahouse over the weekend. Me and my husband loved it, the food was fresh, lots of organics, great selection of teas, service was fine, it was worth driving 30 miles and we will be back.

Waited over 30 minutes and was barely acknowledged by anyone. There were some tables open but staff seemed overwhelmed for some reason. Will never try again.

first time at this tea house, we were pleased with the food and service will be back. excellent tea selection

love , love this place, the food was good, I had the trout was delicious. amazing tea selection, and its bottomless, will definitely be back.

Reading previous reviews you would think this is a horrible place, but in fact, I have been going to this tearoom for afternoon tea the last 5 years with my husband at least 5-6 times a year. We have NEVER had a bad experience. I actually also don't like too much sweets on the tray and have requested in the beginning to add more savory. By now they already know and when I make my reservation they already make a note of it. If the restaurant doesn't know your dislikes they can not do anything about it. One thing though..... I have never left hungry, we get a three tier tray and every tier is packed with food, my husband is what you call a 'large' eater and he isn't hungry when we leave. What the parking situation is about I don't know, this is a small property (cottage) with a farely smal... (more)l parking lot, but they do have the required handicap parking. There is a sign for more parking at the church across the street and we always park overthere without any problems. Anyway, after being a customer for several years, and have spoken to the owner numerous times, she is the most accomodating restaurant owner I have ever encountered. I would say if you have any problems or concerns, just let the owner know at the time of your visit and she will do anything to make it right. About another previous review, the tearoom being closed, they always close around christmas and New years, but it's always posted on their website. This is a family business, they also need to take time off once a year. Where are people's common sense sometimes??? ..Or is it just selfishness... Where is this society going???

I am handicapped so I called ahead to inquire about access. I was told that there were handicapped spaces. There were, but too far away for me. Also, walking on gravel presented a problem. The worst of it, however, was the uphill parking place to the side of the building was so packed that once there,because there were no more spaces, I had to make a parking space for myself because I couldn't get out.
The afternoon tea food was good, what there was of it. And for the cost, really, I felt cheated. It just cost too much to leave feeling hungry.
This occasion was a birthday celebration, but I did not feel in a celebratory mood when I left.
Then, I had the delightful pleasure of getting out of an impossible parking place.
Handicapped people beware.
I checked 'lacking' for the quality of the food because there should have been more. Also, the sweet outnumbered the savory. More savory selections would have been nice.

I had been here once a few years back for tea and remember enjoying the place. I had bought a Groupon that I was using to share with two of my friends. We all drove all they way out to Roswell (not close for any of us), only to find the place was closed. Actually ran into others in the parking lot who were equally disappointed. I had been on the website prior to going out there to check out the menu and get directions, and there were a lot of announcements on the front page, but nothing stating that they were going to close for week. Really! that should have been the first thing on the front page when you just decide to close for a week!

So time get's away from you and I just couldn't get back out there, it is just not conveninet to get to. So my dear husband agreed to go ... (more)out and pick up a few lunches and bring them back. We both had the shrimp and pineapple wrap on day one and I saved the Engergy Booster salad for the next day. What a disappointment both meals were and I was so surprised. The wrap was so oily, I had a huge pool of oil in the bottom of the container. I had only one piece of pineapple in my sandwich, my husband got none. But the oily mess was most unappetizing, I was squeezing the sandwich to drain out the oil.

I was really looking forward to the salad that promised fruit and veggies with omega 3's! The picture is beautiful on the website, loaded with fresh black berries, sliced strawberries, tomatoes, bell peppers and a wedge of cantaloupe. I had chosen Shrimp as my protein, and again, just covered in oil. I picked them out and had to wipe them all down. We are in blackberry season, but not a one was on my salad, the only fresh fruit on the salad was one whole lonely strawberry. No nuts for those omega 3's, no fruit wedge. Oh wait, there were a few grapes floating around along with some tomatoes and chopped bell peppers. At least the salad greens were fresh. Reading some other reviews, it seems as if the quality has gone down and at least the food has since my last visit.

What a shame.

we have been to this teahouse several times the food is good and tea selection excellent, the owner is the most friendly and accomodating person. its a shame that some people wants everything for free. profit margin in this business is small, we love your teahouse Carine. we will be back soon.

My first impression was nice place, until I was charged, graduity incl. for one person who could not join our party(8). we didn't call ahead, so I was charged. $60 is to much for Tea and a lacking tier.
