I went in search of this tearoom and discovered it is long gone, but there is an excellent one at the same place called the Village Eatery and Tea Company - I highly recommend it!

Charming location in the Country Village shopping area...great teas and the best tomato bisque soup!

I have mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, it's very spacious and offers all KINDS of things to buy. Not just tea ware, but random antique things, jewelry, and even some clothes and shoes. In another section they have the seating area where you can have your tea and baked goods. It's got a lot to do, but when I walk in I get more of a 'shop' atmosphere, which doesn't really urge me to sit down and relax. Still, I think it's a fun little place to visit just to see what they have, and they're open later in the day than most tea houses.

I love nothing more than afternoon tea, and Madam Fifi's is one of my top spots in the country! I have had tea around the world and found this to be one of the most delightful experineces I have had. Put on your tiara and enjoy a fun filled afternoon of tea, goodies, and light shopping.

We had been looking forward to a nice experience, based upon the reviews and rating - sadly that did not happen. The atmosphere was pleasant and provided a nice departure from other overly floral and 'Englishy-y' tea houses, but the tea selection was grim (and seemed stale and lacking in flavor)and the quality of the food was sub-par. What a sad dissapointment.

Some friends and I had the pleasure of visiting the newly managed 'Madam Fifi's Tea Room and Bakery'. What a unique presentation!! The decor, atmosphere, and personnel provide an upbeat, yet relaxing atmosphere with positive vibes throughout. The menu has remained basically the same for which we are greatful. We noticed with great interest, the gradual transition from the former setting to what is becoming a truly delightful retreat!! We'll back again and again!!

The variety of tea offer was great and I found the service to be very fun loving and ejoyable. Presentation is clearly an important aspect of this tea room! It is fun and whimsical and I enjoyed it very much! I especially enjoyed the antique pictures on the wall. This is not a stuffy team room this is a tea roomn where you can relax and enjoy yourself.

Hi Danielle,<BR> Thanx so much for your positive feedback. We look forward to serving you again! <BR> Christine

Our experience was disappointing. It appeared that the new owners did not have an understanding of Afternoon Tea.The waitress was not attentive to refreshing our pot of tea with hot water. The sandwiches all looked the same except for the cucumber. The cookies looked as though they were made out of the same basic dough recipe. Nothing different or unique here. 6/2008 l attentive to our

The tea selection was vast, it took awhile for all of our group to them out. we could have had a small lunch or high tea. we dressed casual and it was just fine, even though there were plenty of people with hats and fun tea garb. the waitstaff, all of them, were excellent and helpful.

What a delightful Mother's Day. The food--fabulous; the price unreal. And the service was outstanding. This is our third Mother's day tea here and they get better every year. :)

Wonderful selection of teas! We choice to have a sandwich and soup--I know at a tea room--but it was GOOD and came with their great scones. Good service and nice atmosphere. Will be back soon.

When I go to a tea room I want good hot tea, good food at a good price and that is what I get here. My friend and I have been here three times and I will come again soon.

Karen Baldridge
This place is just good. Cute but not too cute just well decorated. The tea was served hot and the food was plentiful. The price of the high tea for the amount of food that you get was a 'good deal' Will be back again.

This is my favorite place for tea and lunch. I have been to pretty much all in the area. This tea room is not 'English' as so many claim to be but their decor is wonderful. They have just good food, good tea, good service.

We have been coming here for some time and the quality and service is always great. What I like is that the tables are not crowded together and like Deanna below I like the 'unstuffy' feel of the decor.

Rose Brown
I have been there three different times and each time our orders were wrong. Servers could not remember who ordered what and would switch teas ordered among us at table. Chipped tableware did not help either

We had a wonderful time at my Mom's 80th party. The food, tea and service were great. The hostess read my mom's tea leaves! What fun. What I really like is that they do not pretend to be an 'English' tea room.
Tearoom response:
We had a delightful time with your party and so glad that you enjoyed it.

slightly annoyed
After reading all positive reviews of the Peach Tree, I happily scheduled a small birthday party here for my sister (9 total). We had the 'Sir Mumford' tea with sandwiches, scones and other treats. The tea was good (especially liked the blackberry), food was okay, but we were all very dissapointed at the service. The main chef/server was quite rude to our party, made us feel like an inconvenience and was generally awkward. After having real 'afternoon tea' in Victoria and London, this was definitely let-down. I would not go back, and especially not recommend this place for groups.
Tearoom response:
Dear Slightly annoyed--I am sorry that your service was not to your liking. I can not imagine what was wrong, we get many compliments on her service--she is not the chef--and is very familiar with tea. We have had many group--red hats, bridal, baby, wedding, etc. and have had nothing but good responses. Hopefully you will try us again. To have had tea in London must have been wonderful.

My wife and I went here for Sir Mumford's Afternoon Tea. The setting and atmosphere was wonderful, and the quality of food was very good, especially their scones. Surely worth the trip.
Tearoom response:
Thank you everyone for your great reviews, we appreciate your business and look forward to serving you tea.<BR>

I love the Peach Tea Bakery!!! By far one of the BEST teahouses I have been too. The serving staff is always so friendly and attentive. The food is fabulously tasty and the tea selection divine, I recommend Sunset in Seattle. I took my fiance there during the Harvest Festival for High Tea. He was skeptical going in since tea is considered 'a woman thing', but found himself pleasantly surprised about how full he got, how good the food was, and how he didn't feel weird being there. Thanks Peach Tea Bakery. I'll be coming again soon.

I had my birthday here on Saturday with my mom and two friends. It was thoroughly enjoyable. No decaf Englist Breakfast tea in stock, but no biggie. The food was excellent and nice portions! I will definitely be returning!

My parents and I had afternoon tea (Sir Mumford's) last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We've taken tea many times in many places and found this to be on the comfortable side of tradition. By that I mean, it had all the usual pieces of afternoon tea (lovely scones, tasty sandwiches, delightful desserts) but the portions were generous (they happily pack up leftovers) and you didn't feel the need to 'point your pinkie' when drinking. On top of it all, my Dad was able to have (brace yourselves!) coffee instead of tea without any fuss...and it was good, french-press coffee. We will definitely be back...if only for tea and scones. Thank you!

Linda
We had a bridal shower here and it was done just right. Beautiful setting, cups and teapots and delightful service. I have been back since with friends and had their lunch which was soo good!

Lisa
This is just an ok kind of place. A good place to do lunch whilst visiting the Country Village but having eaten there today, I wouldn't consider it as special as the other reviewers on this page. Sorry.
Tearoom response:
Thank you for your comments, I only wish that you would be more specific about what was 'just an ok kind of place'? We value your opinion and always trive to improve.

My daughters took me here for father;s day. Not my choice, but I went anyway. I was really surprised at the quality and amount of food, I got the sandwich and soup combo and it was good! May go again.

This is by far the best tea room I have been to. The food, service and ambience is just wonderful.

What a great place for tea. Love the beautifully served food. My friend and I spend relaxing times doing lunch and sipping tea every chance we get. The scones are the best ever!

We have eaten at this tea room many times, for lunch as well as for their special occassion teas. We love the atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff and absolutely incredible food. This is a favorite destination for my tomboy daughter, who does not mind acting like a 'lady' for this outing! We have tried several other area tea rooms but always return to the Peachtree. We are welcomed with a smile and tempted with delectable treats. Our favorite is the scones with cream and lemon curd - but we always manage to clean our plates of the many delicious offerings! This is a gathering friendly place. We had a large group for the Valentine tea and everyone was most impressed and delighted with the special meal.

Goodness! This quaint country village tea room is such a lovely place to be! The atmosphere is comfortable and still elegant at the same time. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared in the most gorgeous presentation of tea sandwiches and desserts imaginable! The variety of tea alone was enough to make one fall in love with this tea shop! It was difficult but the waitress was more than happy to help choose,and was very well educated on the types of teas, tastes, differences etc.. I had such a delightful time, I will be back. I was not rushed nor was I at all uncomfortable. Wonderful place to be for afternoon tea!!!

I have visited this quaint little tearoom several times and have always found the food and tea delicious. The service was wonderful and the little shop has lovely gifts. I would give this place five stars.

Chris
My husband's first 'tea room' experience, this was girly without being too 'pink frosting'y. They offered a slightly different selection of teas in store than we saw online, but the rooibos tea we had was wonderful anyway. Service was good, but I think she maybe didn't want to get us more tea - is it rude to drink more than a couple of pots during an appetizer and lunch? :S If so, my fault. All in all, the food was wonderful (scones, lemon curd, and sandwiches were to DIE for) and the tea was strong and tasty. We'll definitely go there again.
Tearoom response:
Chris, thank you for taking tea with us. It is not rude to ask for more than two pots of tea, our tea is a high quality grown tea and can be exhausted three times, after that we need to brew a new pot.<BR> <BR> I will definetly let the webmaster know that our tea list which is more than 55 varieties, is out of date.<BR> <BR> Thank you for your input, we really appreciate it as we try to improve with every critic.

Jess
Amazing service, and darling servers. So many different types of teas to choose from :-) I adore the set up in the bakery, just the cutest ambience. Everytime I bring a new person they fall in love with the place. The pasties are amazing too! A definate place for tea! You can even sit outside on a nice day.

I am an avid tea person and I travle around the country searching for cute tea houses! This one insnt a house, but it is very cute! Once they move to the new location I imagine it to be even better. I was only dissapointed in their variety of teas & slighly slow service.
Tearoom response:
Thank you for taking tea with us. Country Village is a different flock of stores. WE ARE NOT MOVING. I am sorry you were disappointed in the teas, we do have over 55 varieties, blended in Canada, Seattle, and Germany. We appreciate your input.

Went here for a tea lunch, food was ok but nothing outstanding. The tea variety was average but the one I had was good. Everything about this place was mediocre compared to my favorite teashops so nothing really bad but the sandwiches were ones I could make at home. Their scones were good but nothing outstanding and little things like the teapots were just plain sturdy ceramic and sugar was just regular cubes. Again normally this is good, but I like the places that have raw sugar cubes, creative sandwiches and pastries but if you are looking for a quiet average teahouse this would be good.
Tearoom response:
I am glad that you enjoyed the tea that you had. And of course you can make anything at home.'Raw' sugar is made from the juice of sugar cane, the flavor is the result of molasses, it does not dissolve easily and has a cruncy texture. We just really don't care for the taste in tea. But thank you for you review. We value everyone.

This place is so darling. I have visited quite a few times. It has become my special place to treat friends for a afternoon of tea. The menu is perfect and flexible. The wait staff are very helpful when selecting just the right tea and they dont rush us out the door so we can sip and chat. This is the perfect little place for an afternoon getaway. I'll be back! :)

Thank you so much for your kind response. We do enjoy what we are doing and hopefully it shows.<BR> <BR> Should you be interested in a review of our tea shop by the Everett Herald go to www.northsoundDining.com and click dining reviews.<BR> <BR> And again that you for your patronage.

I absolutely adore this place!! I have recommended it to all my friends and even had my baby shower here. Unfortunately I have had to move across country and miss this place terribly. Whenever I come to WA for a visit this will be my first stop. Please keep up the good work. The food is fantastic!!!
