Variety: Just found this tea house about two months ago. Great experience, as a chef myself I knew immediately with how much care the food was prepared, everything fresh and love the organic touch, food always taste better when prepared with organic ingredients.The tea selection is more than great, love the fact you can taste as many teas as you want for one price ($4.50),and you can buy all the loose leaf teas at their retail area in the front. Also bought a cast-iron teapot, Wow, it keeps my tea hot for a long time. Planning on learning more about teas at the tea class they're having in december. Anyway this place is cute and cozy, but at the same time has an modern feel to it. If going on a saurday, better make a reservation, couldn't get in once without a reservation. The staff is friendl... (more) |

Variety: Carine, the owner is a lovely and talented person whose food I have loved for several years. She takes great pride in her selection of food items to prepare each item with the freshest ingredients. She and her staff helped me set up the tables with my accessories and the room looked beautiful! Eleven guests filled the private room for my daughter's Bridal Luncheon. Everyone had a wonderful time tasting different teas and enjoying finger sandwiches and assorted delicious desserts. I found Carine very accomodating and wonderful to work with for this special day for my daughter. |

Variety: I made reservations for light afternoon tea for myself and a girlfriend on a Saturday afternoon just a couple of days ago. Service originally was prompt and polite and the food and tea was wonderful. However, when we paid the bill (40 dollars!) and the waitress brought back our change she pointedly (and snottily) showed us the total on the check and informed us that 'your tip was not included.' Lacking a polite way to inform her that I've had more polite service from McDonald's, I just nodded my head and left what change was left on the table. Like I was really going to tip after that. Then before my friend and I were even out the door, she looks at the money on the table and says to another waitress 'Is that all they left?' The food and tea were good, but part of the reason you go to a tea house is to feel pampered and I walked out the door feeling angry and insulted. If I want to have tea again, there are other places here to do so. |

Tearoom Response
Dear Tabitha,I am so sorry you had a bad experience at the end of your visit to our teahouse. As the owner I will look into it what happened, but from what I understand is that some customers think that gratuity is included in our tea service and she just wanted to let you know it is not. It might have come over the wrong way, which I can totally understand. Since you said the food and tea were wonderful, which is the MOST important I would think, I hope you give us another chance, so we can make up for the whole tea experience. Thanks for your input, Carine Bourgeois (Owner/Chef) |

Variety: I meant to write this review right after my girlfriend and I visited. We were there 2 months ago and will not ever return. There are several reasons why...I had tea and scones that were fine - not something worth driving out of the area for. My girlfriend, who is not picky or difficult in any way had serioius problems with the food. First, she ordered a wrap that had an option for chicken or salmon - she forgot to mention which choice and the waitress didn't ask either. It came out with chicken, which she doesn't eat at all. She apologized to the waitress and asked for salmon. It came out with salmon that was not cooked through - she didn't feel she could eat undercooked salmon and sweetly asked for it to be cooked more. 3rd time out, she bit into the wrap for her first bite and I saw her ...

Variety: We enjoyed our Afternoon Tea at The Roswell Teahouse very much. The food, made from scratch, was excellent [although the soup was made from English peas, even though we had been told that they were split peas]. The selection of teas is outstanding, and the Tea came with a 'bottomless pot', hurrah. The atmosphere is serene, almost zen-like. The decoration is simple. |

Variety: I visted the tea room on 04/18 for a baby shower. At first I was taken by surprise with the lack of parking, but quickly realized they had ample parking on the street and with the local church. When I walked in, I entered the room that we would be in, and it was a little smaller than anticipated. We had a group of 11 join for the shower, but once everyone was there, the room size was fine. The staff helped with the set-up and accomodated my needs, which I wasn't expecting, and was such a great surprise. I was able to decorate to my tastes, and they accomodated my silver ware and place setting choices. The tea was prepped and was really nice (I ended up buying several different types-the house blend chai is awesome). The food was good, and filling. I found it different than other trad... (more) |

Variety: My visit to the Roswell Teahouse was absolutely awful. My friend and I waited for about thirty minutes for our waitress to take our order, it was also another hour before we even got our food. When it was time to get our bill, we paid and gave it to her and then waited for another thirty minutes for our change. Since no one ever gave it to us, I went to find our waitress and she was outside talking on her cellphone. I had to get someone from the kitchen to get our change. Might I add that we were the only customers in the building, so it wasn't busy enough to even get this kind of service. Not only was the service the worst I have ever gotten in my life, the food made me sick as well. |

Variety: We recently had a party at the tea house the food was excellent, the ambiance was good, very modern teahouse, service was great, its a place that you must visit if you are in the Atlanta Area, the Tea house is tucked in historic Roswell in an Historic Building. Great food and good people will definitely be back. |

Variety: Let me start with the good. The tea selection was excellent and the tea was wonderful. The service was also very good and the lemon curd was also good. The bad! The Food, I thought the food was lacking. $22.00 for full tea and I left hungry. The food did not have any taste. The 'scones' were muffins NOT scones. If it was not for the lemon curd, I would have not eaten the “muffins”. They had no taste and I am not even sure what type of ‘Scones” they were. Said they were Cranberry but looked like Dill to me. I will not be returning. I do not recommend if you are looking for the “Traditional Tea House”, it is very modern. But the tea was Excellent!! |

Variety: I did not order tea, but some of the black tea offerings were tempting: specifically black currant and blackberry sounded good. I ordered the 'beauty' salad, which comes with mixed greens, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi slices, and your choice of chicken or salmon. I chose the salmon. I was nervous when the salad first arrived as it was slightly fishy smelling, but the fish tasted great so it may have been the dill I was smelling. The salad comes with two dressing options: I elected the ginger dressing. I was expecting a vinegar based dressing similar to what you get a japanese steakhouses, but their dressing is a creamy dressing. The ginger taste is not too strong, and the dressing is a good addition to the salad. The dressing must be a popular item because they offer jars of it for sale on the menu. I will definitely return to The Roswell Tea House when I have more time to enjoy myself and when I'm not flying solo. |

Variety: I have been to The Roswell Teahouse several times and each time is a delightful experience. My friends celebrated my birthday at the teahouse, the service was excellent, the food was delicious. I have also been there for art showings and special dinners. I missed the Oktoberfest dinner this year regretfully and I look forward to many more great lunches, dinners, excellent teas and cozy atmosphere. |

Variety: Since its opening, I have been a regular visitor at the Roswell Teahouse. Everytime the food is well presented and delicious, the service excellent. I feel very comfortable inviting clients to discover the Roswell teahouse who love it so much that, they in turn come back with their family and friends. |

Variety: I'll start with the negative: My experience was similar to the reviewer below. Perhaps your staff was dealing with illness for a couple weeks? For my sister's birthday in early October we visited the Roswell Teahouse because of the high reviews I had found online. We went on a Saturday afternoon and had called ahead earlier in the week with reservations for their light afternoon tea. The service was the only aspect that negatively surprised me. Upon arriving we waited for a while in the foyer for the an employee to greet us. Then we were taken to our table where we again waited for a good 20-30 minutes before our waitress returned to ask for our tea orders. We did receive our tea rather quickly but waited another half hour for our food- which surprised me in that we had made reservat... (more) |
