Mitties Cafe Tea Room
Mittie's has a lot of potential, and sadly, it is not near attaining it. The building is cute, but innefficiently designed, causing cooks to cross the dining room, through tables of guests, to go from the oven area to the refrigeration area. The staff was friendly and kind, but they seemed frazzled and underdressed for a Victorian tea room. We made reservations for the high tea, which we have had at several other tea rooms. The savory plate was quite good, but the dessert tray was nothing special. In fact, half of the desserts came from the frozen food section of a warehouse store, and the eclairs and cream puffs were still partially frozen. But the worst offense was the selection of beverages included in the high tea. They only offered bagged tea, iced tea, and soda with the high tea. Choosing from the menu of loose leaf teas would have cost extra. It is ridiculous to have paid $18.95 for the high tea and then not have the option to select any loose leaf tea, the centerpiece of a high tea, from the menu and have the price already included in the cost. Even if they have to increase the cost of the high tea to accommodate the loose leaf teas, it would be a great improvement to have actual tea included in the high tea.
