Cottage Cafe' of Largo
Weve been here twice before for tea on mothers day and were pleased however today was very dissapointing. Had reservations and they seated us right away. The tables next to us were both dirty for a 1/2 hour and our tea pot was dirty at our table as well as the dish they put the food on. She didnt tell us what the tea was. The scones were store bought, there was actually a Entenmanns donut cut up and we asked about it but they avoided the question. The food took entirely to long in between courses and the desserts were also store bought and just cut up. Window sill was dirty with dust and dead flies I was sitting right next to. We asked for dishes and silverware and our waitress asked us why we needed it for finger foods. Really? Because its messy and I dont like eating off the table. We had been looking forward to this because we usually enjoy it once a year but unfortunatelty it was a let down to say the least.
Tearoom response:
I'm sorry you were so dissapointed in your tea. First I would like to say your scones were not store bought .I spent one whole day baking scones Which I learned to make from a professional baker. The small cupcakes (pink) and the larger chocolate ones had been baked and decorated that morning along with the orange cake. Yes ther was a doughnut on your plate I always like them to be very full and I used them for a filler. All sandwiches were made by me. We always serve our house tea that was blended just for us out of NY. I'm sorry Denise did not explain this to you if you don't like the tea we always bring you something else since we do carry a large variety. I would never take the walkends again I was trying to accomadate our regular customers and it just didn't work. I do hate to turn regular faithful customers away. Fresh fruit is always served along with your scone plate. We hired extra help that never did show which is not unusal in this bussiness, that is why the tables could not get cleaned on time. Sometimes our old plates and cups look like they're dirst and it's just crazing or spots under the clear coating. I hope you will return again,I do hope you give us another chance this was a very rare time as you said we almost always have pleased customers. Thank you Debi
