High Tea Cottage
This is a great tea place, my friends and me went there this past weekend and we drove over two hours to get there, the place was packed with a Tea Shower in their private salon and not a vacant table or chair available, yet it was still quiet and sophisticated. They don’t over crowd or bring in extra tables like most other places to get more business. We were treated to the Tea Cart where we could smell as many teas as we wanted before we ordered and given great suggestions, all are loose leaf, no teabags here! I loved the Marzipan and Pear. The menu is both comprehensive and interesting reading and they cater to many diet restrictions, I'm diabetic and appreciated the sugar free jam offered with the scones and these were served also from a a cart with a choice of jams for the day. The salad I had was really incredible, the tea sandwiches my friends raved about especially the egg and chicken with cranberry. We found the price to be very reasonable for the amount of food served, we were all 'stuffed' when we left. Fresh flowers on the tables and also on the plates with the food. The service was friendly, warm yet still professional. Some of the other reviews here say they arrived as customers and left as friends, exactly true. First time I’ve ever seen my friends hug the server and the owner when leaving. They helped celebrate my friends birthday like no other tea place we have been to and we always go to a tea place to celebrate our birthdays, from now on we will come here, and gave a beautiful birthday gift as well. This tea house really is 1st class and we can’t wait to return. Angie, Pat, Brenda and Jessica
