The English Tea Room & Eatery

This place was an experience! My wife and I stopped by here on a trip to go Kayaking on the Northshore.

First, no that you will need reservations. Unless I missed it, you will need to call to make these reservations. We wanted to go on a Saturday and we (after having our kayak trip canceled twice due to weather) discovered that you have to call in advance. The first time we called mid-week and they were booked up. Maybe not for weekdays, but definitely for Saturday.

The restaurant has various themed rooms. All are adorable.

The tea service is great! Soooooooo many teas!!! I had a black tea that was recommend. My wife had a hibiscus. Both yummy.

I had the Windsor high-tea while my wife had Shepard’s pie. Both were tasty. The scones are absolutely the best!!!

My only gripe would be the customer service was a little lacking. Everyone was very very friendly, but it wasn’t the fastest service. It took probably 10 min from the time our check was dropped off for the waitress to make her way back around. Ultimately it didn’t really impact our experience so I am still happy to rate them 5 stars.

Overall, this place is a gem and very unique. Highly recommend!

Great variety of tea and pastries! Friendly staff and charming decor. Great place for a girl's gathering

I went here a while ago, but put off posting a review because i’m on my mobile phone and wanted to figure out how to attach pictures first. I couldn’t figure it out, but rest assured, the food is beautiful. My roommate and I love this place and we don’t live in town. You only have to pay for one pot of tea to test all of the teas you want, and they have so many! Last time I was there, I really loved the Mr. Darcy. All of their chai teas are amazing iced. I really enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich one time, and the workman’s lunch (I can’t remember the actual name of the dish) another. I could also eat a million of their scones. Still, the tea variety is the main selling point for me. I definitely recommend this place if you’re a fan of tea! Perfect to bring your mom or your friends when you feel fancy!

Edit: figured the pictures out!

My daughter is a regular visitor and it was a Birthday treat for me to go with her and my two granddaughters. My first visit to the tea rooms was an absolute delight. The menu is impressive, as a Brit so many of the foods were so familiar to me. I'll have to keep returning, trying all the dishes and then starting the menu over again. I took a walk around the garden and it's so serene, fabulous spot for relaxing.
