I ordered the sandwich special which was a BLT chicken salad sandwich on croissant. It tasted fine but I didn't think the chicken salad was anything special. I thought it was a little over priced considering it only came with chips. But I guess you are paying for the atmosphere. The service was good.

For the last 7 years we have been attending different themed teas from Hocus Pocus (our favorite!) to Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, and many more. Each tea has a menu catered to that tea's theme. There is so much local history surrounding the tea room/home and Jeff is a descendent of one of the historical owners. We love that they allow into their home and to take part of these magical teas. And if you're ever trick or treating in Corydon you must stop by cause you never know who may be standing on the porch handing out candy.

An absolute gem. I could go on and on about how incredible this little business is, from the…read moreincredible selection of teas supporting woman owned businesses, to the fantastic customer service, not to even start with just how good their baked goods were, but I am going to attempt to keep this relatively brief. Walking in you will find a cozy yet bright fun space filled with charm including even a little mouse door and so much attention to detail. In the case there are baked goods that apparently rotate on a weekly basis except for a few staple items, but everything we got was absolutely incredible (the chocolate pecan pie bar was to die for). In the corner there are some items for sale along with all of their teas, and while we did not drink any there we did purchase some to make ourselves later (they allowed us ot smell the varieties they had and they were all incredible. Also, they apparently try to purchase their teas from woman owned businesses which is just fantastic) In addition there are a couple of rooms with tables, fantastic to sit down and enjoy tea or treats, and apparently they even have a high or afternoon tea that you can sign up for in advance which I will need to do at some point because that sounds so fun. The staff were all so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and just fun to talk to. Even the owner popped up and told us all about it and was just overall so full of incredible energy. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning in the future!

When I walked in and saw the table setting, I felt an immediate sense of nostalgia. We were able to select from several different teas and were served by the sweetest young ladies who were very attentive throughout our visit. Our lunch was served on a tiered tray, allowing us to make our lunch selections on our own (of course I sampled everything ). We all truly enjoyed our lunch, the different teas, and the whole experience. To keep my little one entertained, they even had a few toys by the fireplace so that she stayed engaged while we finished our lunch and chatted a little longer. Lastly, as we were leaving, we noticed the prayer wall and my little was able to add her own prayer. *I almost forgot to mention the bonus was that there was a person playing piano while we had lunch...live entertainment!

We loved the selection of teas, sandwiches, and desserts -- and especially appreciated that the scones came with clotted cream (a must!). Our server was kind, and it was easy to make a reservation.

They placed the wedding cake as well as the groom's cake. They also had their first dance there. The weather thankfully held out, the ground was a little soft but not terrible. The food that was served was outstanding. We had green beans, mashed potatoes, chicken, pulled pork, bread, and salad. We were able to set up the music under a small porch. The iced tea and lemonade was off to the side. The inside of the place was very pretty. They had one bathroom. The parking was a little slim but we were able to squeeze in a spot. Overall the entire reception was beautiful. There was only one downfall though, one of the ladies that worked there asked the grandma of the bride "haven't you been here once already" when she went to the food table! Like, WTF? She had only gotten salad and soup the first time, and she went back to get the actual dinner. I witnessed this and thought it was rude. So a star off for that....
