| - I was turned on to this Tearoom by my good friend Cindy. The place is small and very darling. You walk in and immediately are greeted by the owner of one of three other women who work there faithfully. The decor is very Victorian. There is a wide variety of beautiful China tea cups, pots and teas for sale as well as many other items to compliment a formal tea at your home.
When you enter and are seated, you will find beautifully laid tables. The table is laid out for a formal tea. They offer everything from fresh, out of the oven scones to the traditional tiered plate offerings of finger sandwiches, cheese and fruit. If you are wanting something more substantial, I would recommend their bread pudding (to die for!) or their beautiful Waldorf salad. The food is very fresh, prepared well, and presented well. The selections of tea are vast and they also offer a tea of the day just to keep the variety going.
While there, you are offered to "dress up" if you so desire. A darling array of Boas and Hats are offered to guests to use while dinning. They are great for pictures and make a special event all the more festive.
Besides the ambiance, the food is always of excellent quality. Fresh, and the best of everything is used. Please save room for dessert! You won't want to miss their traditional English offerings.
My only complaint with the place is that the tables, chairs, and room are small. There isn't much room to move, and the tables are packed together pretty tight. If you are any bigger than 5'2" and 100 lbs, you will be uncomfortable in their chairs. Very small and not good on the back. If you are wanting a darling experience with a Tea Room, with excellent food, you won't be disappointed.
During the peak season you will want to make reservations. With a small amount of tables, they fill up fast and are a favorite in the Carefree area. Enjoy!
