| - Only giving this place 4 stars because the owner seemed just a teensy bit standoffish, not too bad that I'd give it a super low rating, but noticeable enough that it was slightly upsetting. That might've just been her though, and for that, I can't fault! Anyways! On to the good parts. I pitched the idea of high tea to a couple of friends, because who doesn't love acting haughty and sticking your pinky out and dressing nice? I live in Tucson, so it was about a 4-5 hour drive there and back, but I don't really regret it! Me and my friends dressed to the nines and arrived while a party was being thrown for some adorable kids. Not a setback at all, we ordered some tea, some finger foods, and for myself, a quiche (it came with a salad). The finger foods (an assortment of desserts and crustless sandwiches) were great! There wasn't a lot though, and it was a bit expensive haha. I liked the smoked salmon ones the best. The quiche was good, and it came with a scone as well I believe. To no fault of the owners or cooks, though, the egg and cheese ensemble became a little overwhelmng. But that's on me, I can't have too much of a dairy product without it becoming some kind of alien texture in my mouth and disgusting me. But before that set in, it was quite delicious and rich! There was a lot of Queen Elizabeth paraphernalia all over the place and it was very decorated, not enough to be gaudy, but definitely cute. If you live out near carefree or just want to experience the closest you can to an English High Tea, then I do recommend this place. It's cute, the food is good, and they have a little box of hats to wear while you're there!
