Belladonna Gift Boutique and Tea Room
My friends and I had not seen each other in over 10 years and we chose this tea room as a central location and because of the many positive reviews on this site. We were not disappointed. The room was so cozy and quaint, it felt we were back in England at some of our favorite tea houses. There are chandeliers with hats, gloves and crystals. There are photos of family and other tea guests all over the tables under the glass tops. The fireplace is glowing and the music is calming your spirit. Before you are even served, you are transported to another era where life wasn't so fast and hectic. The tea selections were incredible and delicious. The scones are to die for and their version of devon cream is fantastic - much better than mums. The tea sandwiches were so varied and unique we just couldn't eat them fast enough to see what the next one was like. Then came the desserts - strawberries stuffed with chocolate mousse and topped with toffe bites had all of us drooling. The whole experience was made even more special by the way Donna and staff make you feel so special. They treat you like you were long lost friends. Each detail of the tea experience is so special you just can't imagine how she can do it for so many years and for so many people. We were truly blessed, touched by the hand of God and relaxed that we never wanted to leave. But.... Donna invited us to do dishes, so we decided we could leave. (ha,ha). Our reunion couldn't have been any more enjoyable. We will not wait for another 10 years to return to Belladonna's.
Tearoom response:
Dearest Margo, You and your friends were a pleasure to serve. The joy and excitement at were table were contagious. When we opened this tea room, I didn't realize how much I would enjoy being a part of the memories that would be made. I have treasures to last me a life time of laughter and sometimes tears that were shared over the pots of tea I would serve. It is always such a delight. Thank you for choosing my little tea room to share your time together. Donna
