This is what we came across while driving through the little town of Morris, Connecticut. Penny Farthing Tea Room & Bakery is an adorable little British themed tea house. The best part? The three ladies running their business are all Brits! Alison, Clare and Deb are so welcoming and they come complete with their authentic British dialects. The inside is very small, homey and comfortable. There's so much British decor and delicate fine china everywhere. Their menu is broad with an assortment of tea of course, scones, sandwiches, soups and salads. I got the Rose Lemonade tea, with a scone. It came with a side of jam and cream. The presentation is stunning. Everything arrived on beautiful fine china, even the little dish for the honey. My friend also got their Chicken Salad Sandwich. I am so impressed, the scone was so fresh and tasty on its own, but adding that jam takes it to a new level. The tea was flavorful and rich. My friend also enjoyed her sandwich, I tried a bit, it was scrumptiously good. We had a lovely time at Penny Farthing Tea Room & Bakery, it is truly an experience to spend some time here.

Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

My husband ordered the Truffle Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and A side of Sea Salt Fries, which were the best as well as his chicken sandwich although there was a few dried out and tough bites..

Lots of burgers, and as a vegetarian I was saddened to see IMPOSSIBLE BURGER as the non meat option. What, a bean patty is too hard to make?

There were plenty of canned and bottled drinks to choose from as well and some merchandise for sale. I love the decor inside with the dried flowers and honeycomb. Parking was plentiful when we went too. The service was great, I had to try their U.Bee matcha latte and a few chocolate chip cookies. The U.Bee matcha latte has ube, matcha, and bee propolis on it. It's such a pretty and tasty drink, I definitely tasted the ube; love the purple and green, so aesthetically pleasing. Can you tell I'm a fan of ube and matcha? The cookies were decadent. They also had gluten free baked goods to choose from. I look forward to going back and trying out the food!

I was so confused on where to find the cafe at first because there aren't any signs outside. I am…read moreso glad I ran into someone who pointed me to the right direction. The entrance is at building 30 and it's literally the first door past the first level door. They have specials and a few other basics on their menu. They also have infused lemonade and tea available at all times. Seemingly, it does a whole lot better than coffee at the premises since offices in the building usually have their own. I came on a day that grocery was running behind so they didn't have any of their specials available. I tried their raspberry iced tea that was served in a small cup, cool and without ice. I'm not all too sure if that is a standard. It isn't all too sweet and can taste the raspberry and green tea. The breakfast panini is served on a sourdough bread with 2 eggs, your choice of cheese with onions & peppers and can add sausage, bacon or back bacon. It is buttery and beautifully toasted. I opted for Swiss cheese and I absolutely love stretch! It's to die for! Besides their menu, they also offer refrigerated bottled drinks and chips.

I seem to keep ordering something on their Special board on the sidewalk (usually for lunch), and this morning had one of their amazing breakfast dishes. All fair and reasonably priced and served quite quickly. Per the recommendation of another poster here, I've been ordering their coffee with a 'heavy' shot of mocha which has greatly improved my enjoyment of such. They offer the mocha as a syrup or powder. I actually tried two baked items (sweets) today which other than being pricey (IMO), were in-fact very good and I'm going to 'assume' home-made. When I arrived it was nice and quiet but by the time I left it was semi-full of yentas and their obnoxious kids so took my baked goods and split (small very loud space!)!

Plus the puppy picture name wall was adorable and they name meals after them! Our server was nice and the menu had interesting choices, but sadly they sounded better than what they were. - the scramble was not that great...overdone eggs and I'm not a fan of slapping a square piece of cheese on eggs. I think shredded cheddar would have been a better choice and the crumbly-sausage was an odd choice for breakfast sausage - I was excited they had hash browns but they were premade with garlic powder and came out mushy. They left a lingering weird garlic flavor - turkey sandwich had real turkey breast which was great but it was too hot and made the sandwich soggy - burrito was good but the homefries were burnt beyond repair Lots of parking on the side and front area

BLUF: Acceptable food but nothing to seek out. I went here…read moreon a Sunday morning and felt it was kind of a restaurant that had taken over maybe a thrift store location in a plaza. It certainly does not evoke a diner in the least, not sure why the summary would say that. The space is crowded, with flimsy tables and uncomfortable chairs. The service is fine, friendly but distracted. The food was also middling, especially on temperature. I got the house special, some pierogies topped with onions and peppers, toast, 2 over easy eggs, and potato hash. The over easy eggs were on the verge of medium, the potato hash could have used some of the onions and peppers, the pierogies had a cool interior, and the toast was fine. I heard the waitress tell a patron with burnt toast, however, that all the toast was fine except white toast frequently burned. This baffled me as an opportunity you'd think to address, not accept via lame excuses. Needless to say, I was unimpressed and don't see a need to return.
