The Victorian Parlor

Enjoyed our food, service and atmosphere. Lots of fun wearing hats and special pampering by the staff. Very enjoyable afternoon!

I had a great time and always enjoy
the abundant of food that Paula offers. The service is terriffic and the decor is to die for

The Victorian Parlor is superb! The ladies in our family visit every year for the Mothers Day Tea, and we are never disappointed. The food is great, the tea variety is wonderful and Daryl and Paula are very gracious!

A jewel in Spring Grove. Our Red Hatters enjoyed tea here today, the third time we've visited the Victorian Parlor. That says alot...we wouldn't return if it wasn't fantastic! Great food...the owners and hostesses are so pleasant and everything is presented in a lovely manner. Have agreed we'll be back again!

I just love this place. It is a Mother's Day treat from my daughters in law. Look forward to it.

Everthing was excellent. Food was very good. Verity of difference kinds. of food. The Hosess were very nice. Room was clean.

Enjoyed this tea room very much, planning another trip later this year.

The owners make you feel at home. You get to select a hat to wear from their huge collection. The food is excellent and the experience is very relaxed. You must try this Victorian style tearoom!

I went there for the first time yesterday.It was just delightful.Atmosphere and service was just outstanding. The decor inside in keeping with the meaning of the name of the Tea House. The garden--lovely.
Many lovely items for sale.
The food, by the way, was delicious.

Even the availability of off street parking was very helpful. A must revisit is in order.

Our red hat group visited this past Saturday and had a delightful time. The decor and atmosphere were perfect. In addition to all the lovely hats , there was a gentleman in civil war garb playing a harmonica. The food presentation was outstanding and of course delicious.

My great friend Jen gave me this as a Christmas gift. I had been wanting to go back since her bridal shower there in April/2008. We went on March 9th and had a fabulous time. Paula is top notch and the food is the BEST!!! (especially the cherry scones) Thank you for a truely memorable day. Can't wait to go back.

I am visiting from Norway and my best friend organized a ladies day out with 5 of her friends...It was an absolute delight!!! Miss Pauline is so service minded and makes an excellent presentation at the table. Her gift shop is a women's paradise recommend you get there asap!!!!...

March 22, 3013 What a marvelous day we had @ the Victorian Parlor. My grand daughter (soon 2 B 5) & guests enjoyed being served like a little princess for a Birthday Tea with her Mamaw. Food was scrumptious,service so kind, & the Tea Parlor is exquisite! Beautiful, Hat's galore. The Lord planned a beautiful day 2 A 'TEA' ! Thank U Paula & Co.God Bless , Your the Best !!!

I come from Italy and my aunt thought that I would enjoy this tea house, and of course I did! When you enter there`s a tiny gift shop and on the left you find a tea room. I way breathless when I set foot in there! Everything was decorated perfectly, the silverware was marvelous and the food was delicious! The thing I enjoyed most were the hats (as the owner noticed). So many different ones to choose from! I had to continuously change them every time a new dish was brought out. And of course the tea was great! We had eggnog, cinnamon vanilla and, my favourite, peach and mango.
The food was served at a nice relaxing pace which is a nice change from the general rush here in the states. This is a very nice place and I loved the relaxing and intimate atmosphere.
If I`m ever coming back to the USA this is a place I MUST go back to!

My party of 9 visited your fine tea parlor on Saturday, January 28, 2013. We all had a wonderful experience. All the food was excellently prepared and ever so visually appealing. Our tea was refreshed often and our food was delivered to our table in a timely fashion. The atmosphere was grand! Cheers to Paula and her husband for a job well done

We had my daughter's 5th birthday party here, and Paula was so extremely accomodating to us! What a special day for all of us. Many thanks to this unique and lovely tea room!

You won't have a better tea experience in the area! Paula makes the best food and offers the most beautiful decor to enjoy it in! I love having tea there! I even held my sister's baby shower there and Daryl (Paula's husband) was the best server you could ask for!

WHAT A WONDERFULL TIME WAS HAD BY ALL 6 OF US, THE 6 COURSES WE HAD WERE REALLY DELICIOUS AND QUITE FILLING!!! NO ONE WENT HOME STILL HUNGRY. THE DECORATIONS WERE BEAUTIFULL. REALLY AWSOME EXPERIENCE.. MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

I just came to this tearoom for the first time and absolutely loved it! The tea and food offered were simply delightful; the service was impeccable and extremely friendly; and we had a wonderful experience in the beautifully decorated 'Peacock Room'. I was also blown away by the fair prices and the variety of treasures offered in the gift shop! The afternoon spent at The Victorian Parlor was an absolute treat and I can't wait to go back!

I have been going to this tea room for many years! This is by far the best in the area! The service,tea, food and decor are all awesome! I always have a wonderful, relaxing time there! Highly recommend!

My friend and I have been coming to your tearoom for quite awhile and are always amazed at all the beautiful decorated rooms. The peakcock room is especially beautiful.
We always enjoy the delicious food and always leave there quite full.
It's always a wonderful treat!!
Thank you.

Just got back from my annual Christmas tea with my high school girlfriends. Both the eggnog and cinnamon tea were excellent. They never cease to amaze me with how beautiful the dining areas are decorated! The food is amazing and plentiful. I have visited most of the other tearooms in our area and they simply do not compare. From the relaxed atmosphere to the friendly owners and staff the entire experience is nothing short of delightful! This year they had their grandsons helping in the dining room and they looked so handsome in their dress pants and shirts. What a wonderful experience for all!!

I had purchased gift certificates for my 2 sisters and our mom for Christmas last year. We finally got everyone together to visit this lovely tearoom on November 3. We had a relaxing and fun experience. First of all, the tearoom is beautiful. There are 2 dining areas; the large area was decorated for autumn at the time, and another was decorated with beautiful peacock accessories. It is a stunning room, and I am now redecorating with this theme in my own dining room, although I know I won't duplicate the beauty of Paula's touch. The large dining area was so pretty too, and I am sure it would be gorgeous during the Christmas season and other times. Paula was so dear and accomodating, giving us a tour of the rooms plus explaining the interesting family history of the old photographs on the w... (more)alls. We chose our hats to wear during the tea and that set the tone for the 4 of us to relax and laugh together. We had a delicious 6-course meal along with blackberry and cinnamon teas. We had a fresh fruit salad, a selection of different tea pastries and scones with Devonshire cream, fresh salad, hot creamy tomato basil soup, an assortment of tea sandwiches, and a dessert of cake. We were full by the middle of the tea, but continued to indulge in the delicious meal. It was so refreshing to sit and relax in such a beautiful setting. Paula's husband, Daryl, was a great host as well. There is a shopping area on the enclosed porch with lots of neat things you could purchase. Even the powder room was a sight for tired eyes...very beautiful with the lavender tones. We would definitely return to this tearoom. The outside gardens were so pretty too, and I am sure during the spring and summer it is great to sit out there as well. The whole experience made us feel extra special that day. Thank you to Paula and Daryl.

I had a baby shower there for my first grandchild. I live in CT. Paula was wonderful in helping me plan the event. It was more fun than I had even hoped for. All the guests including my x-husband (surprise guest) had a blast trying on all the hats! The food was stupendous. The event turned out to be an incredibly memorable event. I will definately go back! An excellent choice!

Never thought this would interest me but my sisters wanted to go. There were nine of us. It was awesome! The food and service was excellent. I loved all the decorations. Paula and her husband were fantastic! They didn't rush us out the door. We are going back in December to start a girls tradition. Highly recommend this lovely tearoom.

I brought a group of ladies to the Tea Room 2 weeks ago and they are still raving about the experience and telling others what they missed! The food was delicious and plentiful, and Paula and Daryl could not have been more gracious to each one of us. Because so many could not make the trip on a Wednesday, we are returning in the Spring on a Thursday. When I told the ladies who had gone last month that I was having another trip to the Tea Room, some immediately said 'I'm going again!' Thank you again for a wonderful time!

I took my granddaughter which is 5 yrs old for tea today. It was wonderful, she ate very little but she had a great time. We will most certainly be coming back. I uploaded a picture of her in her hat and wrap. Thank you very much for making it a great exoerience for her.

I would highly recommend this tea room. I have been there three times this year and each time it was excellent. The place is totally enchanting!!!!

I have been to many tea rooms and high teas,including, this summer,The Empress Hotel in Victoria,Canada.
The Victorian Parlor is the absolute best!!!

My third tea there! Paula and Daryl never cease to amaze me with their wonderful decorations and gardens! The scones are to die for and the chicken salad is the best I have ever had! A real experience!

What a fine experience! I have never experienced such time-stopping delight in my 75 years! Peace, contentment and abundance personified. Hard to stop soaking in the eye candy to drink tea and enjoy course after course of unusually good food. Lovely atmosphere and people. Thank you!

The Victorian Parlor is my favorite tea room and the owners make you feel so welcomed! The food never disappoints and the service is cheerful and pleasant. I just wish I could visit more often.

What a lovely place. Everything, including the service was phenomenal. On a nice day, ask to sit in the gazebo in the garden the grounds are beautiful.

We enjoyed a wonderful birthday tea for my daughter-in-law. The food was delicious, the tea tasty, and the service superb! The 'birthday bear' even sang 'Happy Birthday'. An all-around special occasion!

This was a return visit for me. My 7 year old cousin told her grandmother that she would like to have a tea party. My mother, sister, aunt and cousin went to see wonderful Paula and Darrell at
The Victorian Parlor. If was even more beautiful with its Victorian decor and beautiful gardens then I remembered. We are from the area and know the house prior to Paula and Darrell purchasing it. Darrell filled us in and showed us pictures of the place before. Elizabeth had a wonderful time picking a hat that just fit perfect. She giggled at the hats the rest of us chose. We enjoyed the wonderful food. It was a very special treat for all of us. Paula is such a wonderful hostess and so willing to share stories with us. Thanks of a great time.

I absolutely positively had the most wonderful time at this Tea Room. The house was magnificently decorated and the food was amazing. I absolutely loved the sandwhiches with the dill spread and basil topping. The gift shop was by far an excellent girly shop. The jewlery is beautiful and I spent an hour trying on each thing. Not only is the atomsphere amazing but the owners were wonderful. Mrs. Paula and her husband are great people. I loved the place and I recommend it for any gals and gents to visit.

The quality of this Tea Room is just excellent. There is nothing average about it. From the moment you leave your car, and enter the garden, you are taken with it's beauty. As a Victorian lover, my Granddaughter and I had a wonderful experience. We took many pictures inside and out, to have for our memory book. Finishing everything on our plates, is not something we usually do......but everything was so good, the wish for more was there with every part of this high tea. Paula's husband, just made you feel like you were the only one in the Tea House, and that made you feel very special. After finishing we spent over an hour trying on every Bling Bling, scarf, and hat we took a fancy to. After making our purchases, we took our last look at the beautiful garden before leaving. Paula was just the most personable owner I have ever met. It was a wonderful Birthday for me, and a very special treat for my Granddaughter, who had never been to a Tea House. We will return to this special place again. Jeanette

I have been a customer to the tea house for many years now. My family, friends and I usually have tea 2 - 4 times a year. I have always had the most wonderful, relaxing and happy times. When you walk in, you immediately feel like you are visiting a great friend. Everyone there is so nice and warm. Until 8/8/08 my mother would always join our group. Since she has passed away, my daugther and I, and sometimes others, make it a point to go to the tea room to celebrate my wonderful mother. We always feel happy and content when we leave. Thanks to Paula and everyone for making every trip special!

My homemakers group came to tea. It was excellent.!!! The food, garden and Paula was wonderful. We were in the peacock room and loved it. I am looking forward to coming again soon. I bought a necklace to go with my tea dress in their wonderful gift shop. This was our second visit and we will be back. Barbara- Westminster md.

You will not be sorry in come here it is very warm and friendly. The husband and wife team are really wonderful at what they do. The setting is to die for the garden out back and the tea room and gift shop is a must to see. The food was so wonderful and if you are hungry when you leave it will be by your choice because you choose not to eat the fabulous food set before you. This tea room is a must to visit.

Try them! you will love them!

Like many reading this we have enjoyed varied tea rooms. For us these include England, Ireland, and Victoria, B.C. Paula and Darrell rank with any for their their décor,graciousness,and the taste of the varied offerings. The six course High Tea was an elegant and refreshing affair.

Take pleasure in choosing your seating. Indoors the Victorian décor includes diverse hats to try on. Ladies wearing “their” hat lend a festive atmosphere. Outdoors, is a gazebo that sits amidst a delightful garden. Watch out for the blue heron near the waterfall pond!

Originally I only chauffeured my mom and wife. Once Mom was seated I retreated to a local café for a simple repast and time for quiet reflection. Paula’s invitation to return was motivated by her delight in serving and sharing; not to earn more money. Let Paula and Darrell pamper you in a oasis that we will return to regardless of the distance.

I had an Aunt visiting from Florida who had one wish during her visit….to go to a Victorian Tea Room that would take her back in time. I’ve never been to a tea room before and so I asked my daughter to research this. She suggested the Victorian Parlor even thought it was an hour and a half away. So off we went on July 5th, never giving thought that we may need a reservation. After our long drive we rang the bell and the owner asked if we had a reservation. When I said no and that there were five of us, she asked for a moment, checked and came back “we may have just enough” and requested a few moments to put things together. She did urge us to have a reservation next time as they may not always be able to accommodate.

We all were very impressed with the atmosphere, service ... (more)and food. We couldn’t finish and took our dessert to go. Each course was excellent in both taste and presentation. As the instigators we are, we started the hat craze in the dining area. There are so many fun hats to wear during your stay, we tried most of them. Others in the room began to join in as well and everyone had a great time.

We were there for more than 2 hours and then spent time in the shop and the garden out back. This was such a treat and one that we are planning on going back too soon. This time we will try for the Peacock Room.

It was such a great day. All I can say is fabulous!

In mid-June St John Lutheran Church,traversed from Baltimore to enjoy and celebrate our 4th annual afternoon tea. The experience was wonderful beginning with Paula greetings us at the door and having everything ready. Every single course was delightful from the fruit salad to the strawberry shortcake. The teas were wonderful and Daryl kept the pots filled. The garden was in full bloom and many enjoyed sitting outside after tea and shopping. Many of those who were returning participants commented that everything was even better than before. For one new guest she expressed this was her 'new favorite tearoom.' Whether the group is large or small (and I have been there with a few friends), the hospitality, food, and gardens make for a most memorable experience (take your camera).

My sister Melanie and I visited this past Saturday. We had a great time. There was even a hat that matched my raspberry outfit! Now my daughter would like to celebrate her 17th birthday there so we will be back.

I had the pleasure of a birthday celebation with my dear friend in the court yard gazebo. The garden is so beautiful and the food was so wonderful! Paula and Daryll we so personable and friendly. The selections for our tea were perfect. The decor is totally beautiful victorian. I don't think I could say enough. You must try this tea house!!!

I have been to about 15 different tea rooms in the past five years, but this one continues to remain my favorite by far. I have been to the Victorian Parlor 6 times, and the taste and presentation of the food is always outstanding and impressive. The owners and staff always make a point to interact with each group/table present that day. The atmosphere is friendly, fun, and upbeat. The backyard is one of my favorite features of the Victorian Parlor. The hard work and effort put into maintaining such a beautiful scenery definately deserves respect. The waterfall fish pond, numerous flower beds, and unique decor make for a great background for pictures afterwards. I would recommend this Parlor to anyone and everyone, which I continue to do. The Victorian Parlor continues to amaze and impress me each and every time.

This tearoom is the best tearoom that I have visited for relaxation, food quality and quanity along with atmosphere. The owners and staff do their best to make sure you have an absolutely lovely, relaxing time. I highly recommend you schedule an appointment soon, as the gardens are in bloom and absolutely beautiful. Keep up the good work! I know I will be returning to The Victorian Parlor many more times.

I haven't been to the Victorian Parlor in a couple of years. When I visited this afternoon I was reminded of why this still remains my favorite 'Tea' location. With six courses of exquisitely prepared food including but not limited to a fruit cup, salad, scones and brownies, chicken wrap and cracker with a ham and cheese spread, beef barley soup, and angel/sponge cake with sherbet, none of us left hungry. Paula has continued to remodel the inside rooms in interesting and unique ways and Daryl's outside garden spaces are breathtakingly gorgeous. It is always a pleasure to visit the Victorian Parlor....I've never been disappointed.....it's a great experience. Daryl even took valuable time away from his plantings to give me detailed directions to Brown's Market. Thanks, Daryl.....your directions got us there without a hitch!

I have been to several tearooms in the area and have settled into going to the Victorian parlor. Paula and Darryl are wonderful. They make you feel very special and very welcome to their business and their home. The inside is lovely and the back yard is just beautiful. the food is wonderful and you leave with a full stomach yet yearning for more. And if you want to take home a momento, they have a great gift shop. if you have never been there, the Victorian parlor is a must try!!!!

My very good friends and I had the most delightful,delicious high tea experience outside in your gorgeous garden gazebo. Everything was picture perfect from the food to the service. We have visited many area tea rooms and yours by far out shines the others.

Our Red Hat Lacie Racie Ladies enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea in the Peacock Room with laughter, excellent food and service with a gracious hostes Paula and her staff waiting on us! Thanks to all!

What a marvelous experience my sisters and I had while visiting your tea room. I have been to several through the years while on vacation. This was by far the best, the food, the teas and the charming hosts with tails and anecdotes of your past which was pointed out through the family photos seen in the well lived rooms. We had an experience from our grandmother's past eating and sipping with our colorful hats on. Thank you for the memories.
