Visited the tea room last week with my mother, who was visiting. I was delighted to find such a fantastic tea room! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, the teas offered are fantastic (the Rose Earl Gray being my favorite!), and the food was delicious. We had the Afternoon Tea, and relished every bite of the delectable foods served. The setting was beautiful and the service was relaxed and not pushy. I only wish I had found this tea room sooner! :)

My daughter and I visited on a Wednesday afternoon around noon, and so enjoyed our visit! The teas served are loose leaf, and we selected a Rose Earl Grey, which was excellent, followed by an herbal tea suggested by our server. Their menu offers lots of variety, and we had the Afternoon Tea, and enjoyed every bite! From some delicious chicken salad and cucumber sandwiches to the top tier of three dessert selections, everything was delicious and presented beautifully. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which I particularly noticed as they got crowded while we were there. We truly never felt rushed, and our server was so pleasant. Thanks so much for a wonderful tearoom experience!

'Party at The Tea Cup'
I was at the Tea Cup Saturday for a retirement celebration. There were 16 of us. We pre-ordered our main course, so when we were ready the food came out swiftly. It was appealing to the eye & scrumptious to the palate. We were each offered a variety of teas & encouraged to try additional flavors when we were finished with the meal.

I was pleasantly pleased & impressed with the food and the setting.

Tearoom Response

Dear Pat, Thank you for your review. I am ever thankful to my dear friend Claudia Richartz for creating our unique menu items. Few people know Claudia, she is 65, has firey red hair with a delightful personality to match, she tap dances twice a week and has just finished putting herself through culinary school. It was her dream after supporting family as a mother, grandmother and wife for many years. I am extremely proud of her and forever appreciative of her generosity in regards to sharing her talent. Thank you for your very kind comments and for giving me the opportunity to share about my dear friend. Blessings, Lynn & Staff

I took my soon-to-be 13 year old niece here today for her birthday trip. What a great experience! The staff were wonderful, the decor was warm and inviting, the tea and the food were incredible, and my niece was talking about it all day long. She wants to go back and just spend the morning sitting there sipping tea and chatting.

The best part for me? When the staff picked up on our celebrating her birthday and then brought her a birthday cupcake with a candle in it. This was fabulous and helped me be the coolest aunt in the world.

Thank you, the entire staff of Tea Cup, for making this a wonderful day for her and me. We will definitely be back!

This place is simply excellent! It exudes a calm southern charm and features delicious menu items served by friendly and efficient staff members. I've been here twice within the past month and I've been very pleased both times. The first time I went with a finicky 10-year-old who ended up enjoying the kids' meal that featured a grilled cheese sandwich cut into various shapes; both he and his 4-year-old sister enjoyed the macaroni and cheese. When I brought my mother for the next visit, the very gracious owner took time to explain the differences between British and Victorian tea services and offered a sample of her creamy (and very tasty) chicken-articoke soup. Definitely worth the visit!

I am impressed with their knowledge of all of the different teas, their suggestions are always amazing!!

Each time I have visited the Tea Cup, my experience has been outstanding. The selection of teas are numerous (hot and iced), the food is unique and delicious and the atmosphere is always relaxing and quaint. The cream of chicken, artichoke and brie soup is a must taste experience. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Before or after the visit, browsing through the gift shop will surely reveal many unseen treasures. We are lucky to have this culinary treasure in our backyard.

I spent a lovely couple of hours on Saturday having lunch with a girlfriend, and we had a wonderful time. We were seated in a room that we had to ourselves most of the time, which pleasantly surprised me--the parking lot was full so I expected to be crammed in the middle of a bustling room. The food was delicious, and I was only sad that I didn't have room for dessert. My tea (decaf English breakfast) was perfectly brewed, and I tried my friend's Paris tea as well--very tasty, I think I'll have that next time. The young man who waited on us was a little distracted, but he was very helpful in finding out answers to our tea questions if he didn't know himself. We weren't rushed at all and were able to really enjoy our time there. I'll definitely be back!

Dear Helena, We look forward to sharing each of our 44 teas with you and all of your friends.

- Jane 09/24/09

Tearoom Response

Dear Jane, It was great to see you the other day! Thank you for your cheerful review. We appreciate that you bring to attention our pricing. If compared to popular local lunch style restaurants we do cost a bit more. However we do make everything fresh homemade. It is definately more expensive to pay staff to bake and cook each item on our menu. We do make everything homemade right down to our salad dressings. We are a small restaurant and must purchase smaller quantities because we demand high quality and freshness. We use delicate china and tablecloths to provide a comfy tablesetting; these items require hand washing and laundering. We are unique and take joy in creating an experience for you that is also unique. We could in no way compete with restaurant chains; however, we do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. I am truly but a volunteer to see a dream grow. We feel so good when folks understand what we are all about and appreciate the choices we make to be who we are. With sincere and bountiful appreciation, thank you, thank you. We sure look forward to seeing you again soon. Lynn and Staff

Truly, the Tea Cup is a very charming place! The gift shop has many adorable things to choose from and the different seating rooms are very pretty and inviting! I will say, though, that I was a bit disappointed with the tea and the food. Although tasty, the tea was not very hot. This is the 'signature' item, so should have been 'top-notch'! The soup, too, was only luke warm. The dessert (cookie) was hard and didn't seem very fresh.
So, overall, it is the environment that I will remember, not the tea or food! If you want to purchase a sweet gift for a friend or family member, you are sure to find a treasure at the Tea Cup!

Dear Lisa, Thank you for your sweet, sweet words about our gift shop. We've recently changed the dessert you were referring to, so that is not to worry.

Nothing outstanding here....had to wait quite a while to be seated and yes, we had a reservation. Front door not the entrance..actual entrance accessed from the rear. A wee sign would be appreciated. I am a tearoom aficionado ...don't know how this one is ranked No. 3 out of 117. Tea was nice, if you didn't mind having to pick from a list instead of server offering 'tea of the day'. I enjoyed my apricot/peach flavored choice. My friend (guest) asked for
jasmine - not available. Scone was good, chicken salad (sans onion, please) was very nice, Fruit was nice addition to the tea sandwich tier. One of the desserts was absolutely ROCK HARD...my friend couldn't begin to cut it apart, let alone risk trying to bite into whatever it was called. Jade thought possibly overcooked....WAY, WAY so. Just hope the locals will keep this tearoom operational - maybe you do more lunch business than high tea takers.

I have been to several tea rooms in the past and this one definitely surpasses them all. The food in all the other ones has been okay, but nothing to write home about. The service was also okay, but not warm and homey feeling and last, but not least:) the gift shop here had such unique items that you don't find at your ordinary stores. When we chose to hold a baby shower here I was expecting nice and ordinary, but to my exciting surprise everything was so welcoming. The food was like a 10 star restaurant, I know I didn't say 5 star because it was that good...everything, not one particular thing...everything! The tea was especially surprising. I had only one tea and I wish I could remember the name, but I normally like to try everything, but I instead stayed with this one because it was so good! Anyway, for a nice lunch out with a good friend or even a special client, I would highly recommend this place. The people there will definitely make you feel at home.

I have been here twice and love the atmosphere, staff and food! Please consider these things to help your business: always seat reservation guests first (too bad for walk-ins--they will just have to decide if they want to wait), don't seat people with high tea reservations in the gift shop--no matter what, if you pray for a good weekend crowd, overstaff!! God obviously hears your prayers(smile!), give people a complimentary appetizer if waiting more than 20 mins or a discount.
We are totally forgiving for the small faux pas listed above...we WILL be back!! Overall, LOVE IT!

Dear Christie, You are completely right! We do offer appetizers when we are caught off guard and folks wait longer than anticipated; however sometimes (when we are blessed with an over-abundant crowd) we are thrown off our game and that was one of those days. As I had explained my server accidently gave your reserved table to a walk-in and that sunk our ship. Again, I am so deeply sorry but had no other option and did not want to have you wait 90 minutes henceforth the table in the gift shop. I still accept full responsibility for the complete blunder on my part and appreciate how gracious you and your guest were that day. I was even off on my guestimate waiting times by a bit, but we will do everthing possible to make sure that does not happen again. We have already made some changes to help us as our business grows. I only wish in these times I was able to keep an oversized staff every day. We certainly appreciate your kind and constructive advice. Please visit again and allow us to 'treat' you (on the house) how you deserve to be treated as a Tea Cup guest.

I wish I could say that our experience was as wonderful as these other reviews, but it was not. While the server was very friendly and helpful the service was so slow. We really did not like brewing our tea at the table with a timer, then removing the tea bag ourselves. The chicken panini sandwich was good, the salad that was served with it was full of spring mix greens but lacked anything else. The high tea we ordered left a lot to be desired, the food nothing out of the ordinary. Prices were too much for the quality of food.

It was so cozy and relaxing. The tea selection was very good and explained by the server. Each tea was made in individual packets and brought out in pretty teapots which were kept hot on a tea warmer flair. I enjoyed my crab, corn chowder. It was spiced enough and served in a pretty cup.

The Tea Cup was a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and the food was incredible. We had the Secret Garden which was a great way to sample a little of everything. We'll definitely be returning with our friends and co-workers!!

Tearoom Response

Dear Christina, Thank you for your kind review. Our secret garden is very popular now with choice of soup. Please give our new signature salads a try on your next visit; the gals in the kitchen and I have been putting together some great tastes for spring and summer. Thanks again, Lynn and Staff
