The English Rose Tea Room and Gifts
The food here is very good, as reported--I think it's the only time I've ever had a petit-four that tasted good as well as being cute! They provided a vegetarian option as requested. The Victorian decor and gifts are darling and appropriate, though with rather a lot of little 'churchy' touches that left me feeling somewhat bemused. Would an atheist have little decorative plaques in their tea shop saying 'There is no God'? Or perhaps a tea cozy embroidered with 'Darwin was Right?' It's all a matter of taste, of course. And it's true, there is not a great assortment of black teas. Most of the many tea selections are flavored teas, which I always think of as aimed at the non-tea drinker. The 'Lover's Leap' black tea blend recommended by our server was delicious, however, and as long as there's one, that may be enough. Also, they will provide an alternate selection if the tea you ordered is not to your liking.
