  • Cup & Saucer Tea Room

    

    After reading all of the positive reviews about this tea house over the years, I was delighted to have the opportunity to bring my 2 children to the tea house on 2/18/12. My family and I have visted several tea rooms over the years and had high expectations for the cup and saucer. Unfortunatley this experience was very disappointing. I should have see the red flags when I saw the limited tea menu, or when the sugar bowl had sugar and sweet and low packets jammed into it. However, I hoped for the best. Aftenoon tea in the tea house resembled a hodge podge affair. The sandwiches not finger sandwiches, unless you are a giant. The scones resembled mushrooms with cream cheese in the middle and the desserts were dime sized hard as rock cookies, I think, and brownie bites that I am sure came out of a freihoffer snack bag. No vegetables, no fruit, that was it. Terrible disappointment. Oh sorry, did forget my dry egg salad sandwich had plastic in it which was brought back to me after I pointed it out only to be told it came from a toothpick???!!! My Advice, stay away and go to tea house in Peeeksill - Kathleen's is amazing !

    Tearoom response:

    I am sorry you did not enjoy your experience here, and I remember the incident with the egg salad. The plastic you refer to was just a stray frill from the toothpick and you failed to mention that you were not charged for your egg salad sandwich.

    The finger sandwiches may not be as small as you are used too, but I try to make sure that my customers don't leave hungry.

    I make make my scones in a muffin pan, the same pan I make my brownies in, when they rise they get mushroom tops which most people adore.

    Again I am sorry that you did not have a great time.
