TownHouse Tea Shoppe

This is a pretty and comfortable tea room with extraordinarily friendly service. The proprietors are knowledgeable about tea, and several unique and delicious whole leaf teas are provided in all categories: black, green, white, oolong, decaffeinated, and rooibus. The 3-tiered china tea stand was filled during my visit with delectable tea sandwiches (chicken salad, cucumber, and roast beef), fruit, and freshly homemade pastries that melted oh-so-deliciously in my mouth. Preceding the tea tray was a teacup of French onion soup and the highlight of the meal: a hot-from-the-oven cream scone. In tea rooms with less talent in the kitchen, this could have been bland and boring. But not here! It was large and warm with a wonderfully light & moist texture, and liberally dusted with finely granulate... (more)d sugar. Even though I adore lemon curd, I only used it for one bite, savoring the unadorned and delicately flavored scone as it was. Rebekah and Darlene provide lucky Birmingham patrons with superb and ever-changing food selections, quality loose-leaf teas, friendly service, beautifully appointed tea tables, and an ambience of comfortably elegant surroundings where jeans can be won as comfortably as the fanciest of red hats and pretty dresses. It's well worth the trip to Mt. Laurel!
