TownHouse Tea Shoppe

I love The TownHouse Tea Shoppe! I live about 45 minutes away, but I go in at least once a month, more often when I can. I bring my mother, or sometimes my friends, but I also love to go by myself to enjoy the peace, fantastic food, and wonderful company of the owners. I have also brought my 3 year old son in with me, and they were very kind and accommadating. The food is always imaginative, well-prepared and perfect. I do not like onions at all, but their french onion soup is the best soup I have ever had! The service is so attentive and thoughtful, it makes you feel like family.

Visiting tearooms is one of my favorite outings and The TownHouse Tea Shoppe is my favorite. The tables were set with the Prince Albert Old Country Rose teapots except for our table. It was a whimsical rabbit and made us smile-so the style, I think is a bit of whimsy and formal. I had the Triple Crown-traditonal chicken salad, carrot-raisin, and pimento salads-all favorites and a taste of the South for me. I finished with cappuccino and a scone. The food, service and even the menu reflects attention to detail and customer enjoyment. The owners were perfectly attentive and provided every grace I enjoy in a tearoom. I am looking forward to my next visit. By the way, they even make their own curd!

I have been extremely pleased with the Townhouse tea shoppe. Although not a huge tea person myself, I can appreciate how some people adore it. It was just plain fun to read the extensive tea menu!
When I visited, I brought with me a large party at the last minute. The owners were EXTREMELY accommodating and made us feel special even though we could tell they had just wrapped up a very busy lunch service. We all ordered different things, and they were all prepared beautifully and efficiently. (little did I know at the time that there is only ONE woman in the kitchen preparing food!!! I could never do that) The owners were so sweet, and talked to us like family. My tea service was more than I expected, and just wonderful!
It really upsets me that this classy establishment got a bad review on this site, because I had such a great experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that you could potentially spend the whole afternoon enjoying good food and good company!
