I absolutely love 22 Moons and the owner, Debbie. The food and atmosphere are top-notch, but what really sets 22 Moons apart from other establishments is the service. Debbie and her team do such a great job in accommodating different diet types (I am a vegetarian), and do a fantastic job of explaining the food and teas. When my mom, husband, and I were here in March, we especially loved the Irish cheddar soup and the thin mint scones. We immediately booked again for May and we are looking forward to it so much. read more

My first impression was that the outside needed a lot of work. The "yard" area had seating, but everything was messy and dirty. Upon entering the building, the first thing I noticed was the smell of mold and mildew. Within 30 minutes my allergies acted up horribly. Our room was set up nicely, with 2 pots of tea for the 6 of us. We started out with a soup which was good. Next came the tray of sandwiches and desserts. There were 4 different sandwiches for each of us as well as 4 different desserts. All the food was very good. We were the only ones there and service was scant. The tea was ok, but for me it wasn't hot enough. read more

The 22 Moons Tea Room is located in Valrico, FL in an unassuming white brick house. However, once you step inside, you will feel transported to Victorian England. All of the furniture and decor are antique or vintage items. Each room of the house has been converted to a private tearoom for guests. Note: You do need to pre-pay for Afternoon Tea when you call to make reservations. When we arrived, we were shown to our private tearoom just for our party. I did peek into the other rooms, and they were all decorated just as beautifully. On the table already were the teapots with warmers for the two featured teas of the day as well as honey and sugar. The host/owner came in and told us that the two teas were a Rooibos Kentucky Bourbon tea with caramel and vanilla notes, and a fruit-based tea with hibiscus and berries. My friend asked for cream for her team and the host just reminded her it wouldn't be great in the fruit tea as it would curdle - my friend has already experienced that first hand so appreciated the reminder. We both loved the Rooibos but weren't fans of the fruit tea - more on that later. Then came the first course, which for the July menu was Potato Cream Soup with a Lemon Savory Scone (monthly menus are listed on social media and sometimes the website). It was served in a two handled bowl, which was typical for cream soup in the Victorian era, so I really appreciated the details. Both the soup and scone were delicious. Next came our tea tier which had the tea sandwiches on the bottom and then desserts on the top. The bottom tier was Chicken Salad Croissant, mini Quiche, Cucumber Sandwich and a slightly spicy pimento cheese cornbread scone with pimento cheese spread inside. You could tell that all the items were homemade and looked lovely. We enjoyed all of these, and I loved the texture of the savory scone although the inside was a bit too spicy for me. The top tier was a Chocolate Cupcake filled with Peanut Butter Mousse, a mini cheesecake in a phyllo dough cup, a Coconut Chocolate Rum Ball, and then a Sweet Fruit Scone with Chantilly Cream. We were getting full at this point but soldiered on and these were all delicious as well, especially the cupcake. The Chantilly Cream was of course more like whipped cream than clotted cream but still had a great taste with the scone. At this point, we had finished the Kentucky Bourbon Rooibos tea and hadn't seen a server in while so peeked out of our room and then found a server and told her we needed more of the one tea. Our host came back in and asked about the fruit tea, and we said we weren't big fans. That's when she said she could bring us a different type of tea since they had several. We wish we had known that earlier, but we were already done with our food and just wanted another cup before we headed out so declined. Next time, I will know to ask for a different type of tea if I don't like one of the featured ones. As we were about to leave, I asked if we were all paid up and was told that the food, tea and tax was all paid. When I asked specifically about gratuity, I was told that was at our discretion. My friend and I then both scrambled to pull together our cash to provide a tip. I'm not sure if usually, they provide an invoice/bill and then we could have paid with a credit card? I guess we can ask next time or ask that the gratuity be included when we pay up front. This was a lovely tea room and the food was great and we will be back. read more

I am obsessed with 22 Moons! I've been here plenty of times over the past couple years, and every single visit turns into a memory I'll treasure forever. They don't just set the table for gorgeous tea and drool-worthy tiers of treats... they set the table for laughter, deep talks, and those "remember when" moments you'll carry for years. The service? Absolutely top-tier--warm, attentive, and somehow making you feel both like royalty and an old friend. Every single room is its own little magical world, each with its own personality and charm. It's been a minute since I last visited, but I'm already plotting my return (and dragging a few friends with me, of course). They've added so many new things I can't wait to experience! If you're on the fence about booking--stop. Go. Now. Your future self will thank you. read more

Tried this tearoom for the first time over the weekend and overall was good, not great. Nibbles were tasty , but I didn't leave full like I have at other afternoon teas - the scone seemed more like a cookie (hard and small) and not the traditional type normally served. I was also surprised to find out you are not offered a tea menu to choose tea from, and they only provide a couple of "house" teas. That seemed to take away from the experience as you can't try different teas. I did enjoy having a private room for our party which added to the ambiance. Our server was nice and helpful, but did keep us waiting for one of our requests. read more

High price for mediocre menu. Food was not up to par. Some over cooked and some just not tasty. Oh and soup not only not hot but dishes were handled by the rim I stead of on saucers or plates. Just not up to par. read more

Love this place! It has such a quaint feeling. The food is amazing and the service is really good!

The food was phenomenal and the tea was perfect. Everything came out quickly. We were checked on often. The inside is super cute. I can't say enough good things! We came during February and the cucumber sandwiches were heart shaped for Valentine's Day. Not just the overall shape of the sandwich, but even the cucumber inset into the bread was heart shaped. So much thought went into the food! We will be back. read more

Had a nice tea time with a small group of friends on a Saturday afternoon. The hosts were attentive, the servings were small & scrumptious, and we were given 2 teas (Buckingham Palace tea and a Green Chai tea) to enjoy with our small bites. This was a non alcoholic setting in a small open-door private room, which was more appropriate & quaint to enjoy the atmosphere and conversation. All the vintage items in the room is available for purchase, which put an interesting spin on how you appreciated the setting. It was a nice experience, but docking 1 star for higher price of $45 per person. I think a reasonable business price point would have been $35 per person, especially given the small amount of finger food. Regardless it was a nice experience and we didn't feel rushed to leave, which was definitely appreciated. So the magic answer is.... Yes I would return again, but only for a one-off experience if it was for a baby shower or some special occasion. One tip; careful on the non paved parking area. I was wearing short heels and the terrain (despite the ragged walking blocks) was a little rough. Hopefully they improve that one day, especially given the nicer atmosphere inside. read more

I visited 22 Moons for the first time and was I impressed! The tea's were warming on the table waiting for my arrival and they were so good. Everything was delivered to the table quickly once we arrived. The staff checked in often to accommodate any needs we might have. I cannot give enough accolades to the staff, the food and the tea. And did I mention the decor and ambiance of 22 moons? I cannot wait to return. read more

Camellia's Tea Room gets a 5 star review from me. My mother also approves it. This was a gift to mom for Valentine's Day and she loved it. First of all, the tea room is located inside the 22 Moons antique store off Lithia Pinecrest. Not many people notice it as they drive by because it's difficult to see the little signs along the fence from the road unless you're stopped in traffic. I live in this area and didn't know about it until former Yelper Rachel L posted about her experience. Thank you, Rachel!! It's by reservation only so you do need to call in advance. The owner of the antique store also owns the tea room. You can find their business hours on their Facebook page. They also post special menus in advance like the one we had this weekend for Valentine's Day. My first visit was to the antique store which is beautifully decorated. That's when I learned more about the tea room. I even bought a few batch teas. The Thai tea is my absolute favorite blend. I made some at home in a latte form. It is amazing and I'll be going back to buy more. I also liked the Lavender Earl Grey, but I forgot that I am allergic to lavender. I can still drink it but it does wreak havoc on my sinuses. I love the taste. What can I say? This Saturday's experience was nothing but pure elegance. I do agree that it was a bit pricey but it was a special occasion. You pay in advance when you book it. The meal included a champagne cocktail (Cherub's Cup) which was made with strawberries. I had a couple of glasses filled as I couldn't pass it up. There was a vichyssoise which is always served chilled. It was served with a small herb cheddar scone with 2 pats of a herb garlic compound butter. All were delicious! The main course was lobster thermidor inside a soft brioche bun along with slices of filet mignon cooked medium rare on a toast point with a dollop of horseradish sauce. It was a great presentation! I also loved the Camellia's slaw which was made with shaved cabbage, brussel sprouts, and carrots in a homemade strawberry vinaigrette. I need to learn how to make this. I could eat that slaw everyday. The last course was dessert. It was a cup of white chocolate mousse mixed with berries and white chocolate chunks. It also had a white chocolate bark with cranberries and pistachios. It wasn't overly sweet which I liked. It was unique. The lemon French macaron was also a big hit. The perfect sweet ending to the meal. I'd say everything about this experience was unique compared to your traditional tea rooms (and I've been to many). Everything was served individually on beautiful vintage china. You get 2 pots of tea. There wasn't a choice of teas for this one since it was a set tea. We had Strawberry Sunrise and Black English Breakfast Tea. Both were very good, but I liked the black tea the best. I liked that there was honey along with the sugar. That was a nice touch. I did miss having the traditional sweet scones with lemon curd and rose water jam. That's why I need to book another visit. They have a Sweets and Tea one for $15. I read in the Osprey Observer that they also make a coronation chicken salad sandwich. The owner's family recipe which I definitely want to try. I'm so glad that we have a tea room that is nearby. I was so sad when the Tea Cup closed, but now I'm happy that another spot has opened. Mom was super happy, and that's all that mattered to me. It was a very relaxing time together. Highly recommended! read more

The place was so pretty and well set up. The people and service were fantastic. They refilled our teas, when we were out and even made an extra tea for us. However, for $30 a person and what food items were received, we will not be going back. You have to reserve and pay ahead of time, so I did. We received this small platter, of what I thought was a preview to more coming. Unfortunately not the case. The egg salad was on a small cracker and the cucumber bread, wasn't even on the whole slice of bread. Then we get to dessert, and we get one scone and one macaroon. At least a heads up that we would only receive a small plate of mostly salad and one scone per person. Again, the people and place were fantastic. Please just be warned, if you do go, eat ahead, because you are really just paying for the ambiance of it all read more

Took my mom and Aunt to 22 moons for lunch and tea. We have been to high tea before so we knew what to expect. However, when we sat down there were two tea pots with teas on the table. A "fall" tea and wedding tea from "the royal wedding" we were told. Well, that wedding was years ago, wasn't it? Any other time we have gone to a tea house, there was a menu of teas and you got to pick which tea you want. So that was the first thing we thought was weird. My mom drinks hot black tea like the English with milk and sugar like 5 times a day. She did not want spiced tea. They did offer to make her an earl gray tea and she accepted. But they told her they did NOT have milk for her tea?? What!? They offered her the small cartons of HALF AND HALF!! Like what you put in coffee at a restaurant! Not even fresh half and half! So gross. As far as the food... it was a "Mardi gras" menu. Which I didn't mind but it wasn't good. It wasn't fresh. The scone was horrible. Hard as a rock. Tasted more like a cookie. Previous tea houses I've visited, the scone was warm in the middle when it was brought to the table. This was not the case. Everything tasted old. Not fresh. There was a pound cake that was really good. The chicken salad sandwich was ok. The cucumber sandwich was not good. The crab cake was not good. The service was good. The two ladies serving us were very very nice. But overall, a disappointing experience and will not be returning. read more

We went to Camellia's the day after Christmas. We were a party of five and had our own, private room. Tea was waiting on the table along with a platter of blueberry and cranberry scones. There was also offered house-made lemon curd, locally sourced honey and a rose water jam. Everything was delicious and it only got better from there! That day's offerings included a salad with champagne vinaigrette, French egg salad on pumpernickel, cucumber and goat cheese with tzatziki, and Coronation chicken salad on a croissant. It was all lovely. We were absolutely showered with attention from the owner, who offered us a pot of Lavender Lemon tea that was out of this world. We liked it so much, my sister and I bought some to take home. Dessert was a very generous offering of flavored macarons, long john with pastry cream, and a pear slice and locally-made cranberry cheese drizzled with chili honey -divine! It was one of the best tea room experiences we've ever had. Can't wait to go back! read more
