The Tea Room

Owner graciously worked 3 of us in on Mother's Day weekend, on VERY short notice. Food was exceptional, (Turkey croissant with pepper jelly was unique and we ordered more) service great & we loved the atmosphere. Good selection of decaf teas. My daughter enjoyed all the special attention. As the place was closing down & we were about to finish, we enjoyed some conversation with owner & staff regarding future plans- such as bridal showers etc. A very nice afternoon. We are already planning a children's tea party here for our daughter's birthday in July.

Food and tea was great but service was horrible. Owner is rude and condescending. Ruins the whole experience. Will not go back..

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Tea Room. Lovely displays of tea pots and linens, fresh flowers and fine china on the tables, and lace at the windows created an atmosphere of beauty and serenity.
There was great attention to detail
in every aspect of the food presentation. The owner was friendly, gave helpful comments on
tea selections, and brought our various courses for the full tea in a timely manner without making us feel at all rushed. Best of all,
every item served was absolutely delicious. My favorites were the
asparagus soup (flavorful, amazing color, smooth texture, and topped with a scalloped crouton!), and the
lemon curd tart (creamy light filling, tender crust). I would happily visit again tomorrow for a repeat of the wonderful food and the relaxing experience of enjoying
tea in the special Tea Room.

The only way this establishment is going to survive is if the owner would just stay in the kitchen. Her hectic personality clashes with the atmosphere of this lovely place. She should hire a soft spoken waitress like she had before, and just stay in the kitchen.

We came without having a reservation but they were willing and able to accomodate us. The food was very fresh and excellent taste. The teapots were replentished quickly. Really enjoyed the Labrynith Tea. Thanks so much.

My friend and I are from Fairfield and Colerain Township respectively. Though it's a bit of a drive for us, it's a special place and worth the time. This is second visit to the tea room and have plans to do so again. It is a genteel setting with beautiful crystal, china and linens. The teas are delicious, the food outstanding and the service impeccable. We can't wait to get back and enjoy more of Cheryl's hospitality. BRAVO! Keep up the good work.

I've been a patron of The Tea Room since its inception and have to tell you that I am contantly amazed at the high level of service provided by it's friendly staff and the superior culinary skills offered by The Tea Room's owner/chef. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy accomplishment and I applaude The Tea Room in Milford for being doing it so well and being asset to Historic Downtown Milford! Bravo!!! Well Done!!! Have a wonderful New Year!!!

I went to this tea shop with my family for our annual tea party for Christmas. I have an elderly grandmother and we arrived 15 minutes early and I asked if my grandmother could come in and sit down as she has trouble walking. At first the owner.. said NO and that she had to stick to a schedule. Bizarre.. The food was ok.. The owner seemed stressed and should consider managing the kitchen area instead of greeting customers.. I hate to write a bad review but I work in the hospitality industry and found this behavior vary odd... I won't be going back to this tea shop.

While sitting there waiting for our order to come out, a lady in an apron makes her way into our room and does her own thing behind the counter. She then goes to the table right next to us to clear the dirty plates, but never acknowledged us. I was quite surprised because she was actually the OWNER of the restaurant. I mean, I would understand if the place was busy as heck, but we were the ONLY guest in that room and she was right next to us. No nod, no 'how are you doing', nada! Really? Considering how slow the place is, you'd think she be grateful for any business. Quite unappreciative if you ask me. The owner totally turned us off to this place. Seriously, if you want patrons to patronize your business, show some love! There are so many other places that I can get scones and tea from.

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my mom, sister and niece. The decor was was cozy and quaint with Christmas music playing in the background. Relaxed, unhurried atmosphere.

We enjoyed the Christmas tea and a pot of Earl Grey Lavender (also purchased the Early Grey). The 'princess tea' was a whimsical presentation of a turkey sandwich cut in a tea pot shape, watermelon shaped like a Christmas tree, along with other assorted goodies and capped off with a licorice bow on the tiered plate. Our princess was delighted!

The scones were light and buttery and the sandwiches delicious. An unexpected treat of decadent Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce was just enough to whet our appetite and make us look forward to having dinner at The Tea Room so we can get a full serving of the dessert!

The staff and owner were welcoming, courteous, and pleasant. We will be visiting again

I stopped by this tearoom by myself. The owner was friendly and the food was delicious. Great to share this gem of a place with my friends. Loved the beautiful table setting and linens.

Are you looking for a unique, quaint and excellent dining experience that will leave you wanting to go back time and time again, plus wanting to tell all your friends about? The Tea Room is that kind of place. The owner Cheryl was no doubt most
accommodating to my health needs when our group of 22 recently arranged our luncheon to be held there, plus she had it decorated to match our Wicked ways. (We were attending the play Wicked). Her food and tea are superb. Everything was fresh, delicious, homemade and you can tell Cheryl takes pride in her business. The servers were so fun and accommodating and we wanted for nothing, the service was absolutely impeccable. I can't wait to return with friends and family to this delightful Tea Room.

My sentiments are similar to the recent review. The owner's condescending attitude made the visit a horrible one. Very disrespectful environment. Do not visit here if you want to save your dignity.

Very rude owner, will not visit again. Be prepared to be treated like a pheasant , even when your group is spending a nice sum of money at the establishment. Look elsewhere.

Delicious food and tasty tea! My friends and I felt like we stepped back into the Victorian ages. The owner Cheryl was very personable and sweet,and is very very passionate about the quality of the food and making sure the customer is happy and satisfied. Have been there five times since opening and will continue coming back for the delicious food, wife variety of tea, and exceptional hospitality. Best in the city by far!

We hosted my Mother's 60th birthday Tea there. The atmosphere was beautiful and elegant, the food was delightful, the Pumpkin Spice Tea was delicious and very hot!! Overall, a great experience.

My mother in-law, neice and I decided to try the tea house on a whim on a Saturday around 1130am. We did not have a reservation but was comforted by a chalk sign that indicated that 'Walk-in's Welcome'. While everyone was pleasant, and cordial - the initial woman who greeted us, wasn't sure if she could serve us since we didn't have a reservation. I am not certain which teas were available because we were only offered the pumkin spice tea. Then when the owner (i think the owner) came out, it was still not clear that she could serve us, and she while somewhat frazzled agreed to serve us but, wasn't sure what we would be able to order. My neice was with us - and was told she could not order the princess tea, which we had not asked for because it said on the menu that it was for reservation o... (more)nly. But then, they made an accomodation that we could order the princess tea. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice and pleasant - however I didn't feel welcomed, I felt accomodated and the staff seemed a bit frazzled as if they weren't sure if they were going to have enough food etc. Overall the experience was good, though I would not go again without a reservation - and the 'walk-in's welcome' sign was misleading, and pricing seemed a bit steep for tiny lunch sandwiches. Seems as if there should be a basic tea and/or soup/sandwich combo that is available for walk-ins, but I understand some of the more specialty items may require advance preparation.

My husband and I were looking for a place for lunch that wasn't deep fried or chain. The food was delightful as was the atmosphere--very relaxing. The portions were appropriate for a tea lunch. We will be back. I have already recommended it to some friends.

The Tea Room is a must have for anyone who enjoys High Tea. The owner and staff are wonderful and attendtive without being smothering. The food and tea are amazing I have not had anything there that I did not love. This is one of only two High Tea's I have I have felt 'full' when leaving. The decor is lovely and there are many things to look at and buy. This is a place my sister and I enjoy 'getting away' to.

My wife and I drove to the Tea Room in Milford for lunch despite reading a number of reviews complaining about various things. Fortunately, we encountered none of the problems mentioned. All menu items were available. This may be because we reserved ahead of time and arrived around opening time or may be because the owner is serious about reading reviews in this forum - she noted there were 27. We found the owner not to be rude and to treat her staff well. She does have a strong personality which may be mistaken by some for rude behavior. On the other hand, she is game for any type of conversation, including verbal sparring which, in our case, made the visit interesting. The tea room is small and well arranged with many different types of seating and many different kinds of china and silverware. The noise level is low. The environment is very pleasant. A bonus is close proximity to quite a few interesting and well managed shops in downtown Milford.

I recently hosted a wedding shower for my future daughter-in-law at The Tea Room. The owner and staff at The Tea Room handle almost everything. I had to do very little. The service, food, and facility were top notch. They went out of their way to decorate, bring in fresh flowers, and professionally print a card for each guess commerating the event. The food was fresh and delicious. Everyone had a great time. Besides bringing party favors for the guests and prizes for the games, I did nothing. It was well worth the money. I was worried about space but it easily handle the 20+ people that attended the shower. I highly recommend this facility for a wedding shower or special event.
