Great afternoon tea experience at this quaint tea house in Winchester.

I decided to go with Royal Ascot menu that includes the soup. It was a carrot ginger today. Very flavorful. The mushroom vol au vent was the best item on the menu. Of the tea sandwiches I really enjoyed the chicken salad and the turkey with apple and cheddar. The scones were perfect and had a great texture. The desserts were on point too. They do themed teas at their second location. I'll definitely be making the trek out here again!

I emailed and left a voicemail, and they were incredibly kind and understanding--canceling my reservation even though it was past the three-day window. While we're sad to miss visiting the Winchester location, we're really looking forward to stopping by the Berryville location soon and continuing to support their business. Truly grateful for their hospitality and excellent customer service.

I made a reservation for the High Tea for my husband and me. An employee promptly seated us. I felt disappointed that this tea room gave us plain white teapots without loose-leaf teas and that they did courses rather than use a three-tier stand of foods, but we did have some choice in the teas and foods, and they did taste very good. The High Tea consists of the following: pots of hot water with a large selection of tea bags, choice of cold drinks, scone with devonshire, choice of soup, salad, three sandwiches, and choice of three desserts. For drinks, we chose four teas--cinnamon plum, peach and passionfruit, English breakfast, and salted caramel--not just two teas like at other tea rooms. We received colds teas, peach and sweet, included in the price. For foods, we chose two scones, M&M and one other that I forget. We chose two soups, which were chicken noodle and cheesy potato. The salad contained greens, cheeses, peanuts, cranberries, and raspberry dressing. The three sandwiches were cucumber, tomato-bacon-basil, and my favorite of chicken salad. For desserts, we chose lemon cake, carrot-cake cupcake, pineapple cake (?), cheesecake, brownie, and my favorite of cherry-chocolate ice cream. I appreciated having a cold dessert in the middle of the hot summer, and it was one of the best ice creams that I have ever tasted. The employees' service was mostly good. However, I had asked them in my reservation if I could film a video of my meal, and they said yes. But then an employee got an impatient tone of voice when I was still filming my food and they were bringing out the next course. On social media, my video got over *27 times* the views that their compensated influencer had gotten months earlier!

Just off Main Street this tea shop was a shining beacon. The interior is well decorated and immaculately clean - if it weren't for the pandemic, this would be such a cozy spot to slowly sip a tea.

Over three days, we tried to come to Circa 1905. Unfortunately, they have very soft hours and…read moredespite coming during "open" hours, we weren't able to go inside and provide business. That being said, I'm so curious -- vintage, tea, and antiques are in my top 10 favorite things! -- that I peaked in the windows like a weirdo, and it looks delightful. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Thomas and getting a chance to actually go inside! I have four stars because I'm not willing to be too mean about flexibility - we could all use a bit more of that in life! Plus, I want Circa 1905 to do well!

The store set up has matured, the inventory is incredible, the prices big time bargains, and the selection of teas spectacular. They even had some wonderful homemade pastries for just $2.50 -- a bargain! I think that the weekend hours have stabilized a lot now that this place is really up and running -- 4 months into it's grand opening according to the owner. They expect to offer Friday hours soon too. But great selection, great prices and a nice hang out if you have time to sit and relax.

The tea, the delicious soup, sandwiches, scones and sweets and the beautiful setting was superb. I've been an afternoon tea enthusiast for over 30 years and have attended all of the fancy tea rooms around DC, Maryland and Virginia.... from the Willard Hotel, Mayflower, Hay Adams, Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton and many others. Also attended tea in Canterbury, England. This beautiful tea room in "Almost Heaven" West Virginia completely won me over! What put this room over the top was the service. The warmth, kindness and Christian hospitality from the couple that own this tea room and bed and breakfast will renew your faith and bring you peace and joy as you sit back and experience tea as it should be. Almost heaven indeed!

Overall, we enjoyed the teas and finger foods, but I wish I would've known that you could request a change in certain food items ahead of time, as there were a few things that I was not particularly fond of.
