Very pretty and cute place. Our waitress was excellent. Because the room was a bit small, they could not accommodate us with the baby chair. And we were not allowed to bring in our car seat. So, If you want to visit with kids, be aware. The food was good, but the fruit were not fresh. Will I come back ? Not until my baby can sit on a grown up chair

They asked if we had reservations and acted like they were doing us a favor to seat us even though the place was half full the entire time we were there. Sign on the table said “your reservation is only for an hour and a half and you’ll be asked to leave…’. Good thing it’s for an hour and a half since it took almost an hour to get food. Food was below average and wrong side dish was brought. Took over 15 minutes before my server cameback to check on us. Server only checked back one other time. And seemed annoyed when I pointed out my order was wrong.

My boyfriend & I stopped in today at 1:30pm. The young ladies at the counter were nice. We asked if we could order ice tea & pastries. The counter girl said she had to ask & we saw her go over to an older lady sitting in the back booth. We were told the kitchen was closed. We asked a couple of other questions, which the same girl went back & forth to ask the lady. All the answers were no. We asked if we could just order and sit outside. We were told that they needed to close on time, but could order an ice tea to go. We ordered 2 teas. While we were waiting, the market area is so small & over merchandised, that we felt we were in the way. There was nowhere to stand & several times had to move so staff could get around us. We were very disappointed. And won’t return. It just wasn’t a good experience. Tea was ok, but not worth the drive. I love all things tea & enjoy visiting tea rooms. This by far, wasn’t up to par with any other tea room I have visited.

My mom had a bridal tea party for me and my friends yesterday. The sandwiches, yea, scones, and soup were all so lovely. The shop is very small and niche. Lots of decor and very festive. Food was yummy and tea was delish! Service was wonderful as well. I hope to bring a daughter of my own here one day. This also makes for a super cute spot to have lunch with a girlfriend. So fun! Thank you!

We went in at 1:30 pm to order some dessert to go. The lady at the cash register gave us the menu. Once we were ready to order, we were told they were too busy to serve us. All we wanted was 2 slices of cake to go. The was the first time visiting this establishment & will not return. Very disappointing.

A lovely, quiet place with friendly staff. I had the tarragon chicken salad on croissant and my companion had tuna salad. The chicken salad is excellent, carefully prepared with only the best meat and really full of flavor. My side was the Mediterranean pasta salad. Also great. I had the cafe de maison, which I did not think was great, but it was drinkable–and unlimited refills. The pastry case and dessert options looked amazing. Will return for something sweet. And the candies are beautiful and would make a lovely gift.
