Food: Very quaint with, obviously, a Victorian flavor in decor. Two type of teas were offered throughout our lunch, both were very good. One was vanilla and the other a cranberry. A six course lunch was offered; starting with a fruit cup, then a plate of delicious homemade chocolate scones, chocolate muffins and cranberry bread. We then moved on to a delicious salad, followed by tea sandwiches of chicken salad and wraps. We then had a homemade beef noodle soup, which was followed by the most wonderful dessert of a light and airy type pound cake with a pineapple cream filling in the middle, a whipped cream topping, drizzled with a raspberry sauce. Delicious. And the atmosphere is very warm, with the owners themselves helping to serve their patrons. They also showed us an original photograph of... (more) |

Food: As Queen Mum for the Lacie Racie Ladies, Red Hat Society, I get to visit many tea parlors. This is the best! They have great food (and plenty for all), lovely hosts in Paula and Darrell, beautiful gardens which gave us a wonderful back-drop for pictures, and really neat gifts in the gift shop. They even have Victorian things. The hats on display really add to the atmosphere and are available to wear. This is a great place for groups, families and couples. Would highly recommend! |

Food: Seven of us retired teachers had a wonderful time when we went to tea in Spring Grove. The variety of foods offered was delightful and each and every dish was delicious. The atmosphere is fancy Victorian and very pretty. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to sample a few more flavored teas instead of just the two, but both of those we were served we lovely. (Offering more than 2 could well be a logistical nightmare for the servers.) Can't wait to go again! |
