My mother and mother-in-law hosted my bridal shower at Kathleen's this past Saturday and we loved it! I can't say enough great things: the food was excellent (we did the three-tiered tea platter with individual tea-pots and for dessert the berry scones), the service was attentive and the energy was warm and cozy. I want to especially highlight that they were very accommodating of a vegan guest - with only minor tweaking, several of the menu options were made non-dairy. And while all the food was excellent, I want to say especially that the scones were AMAZING and the orange cream tea was possibly the best tea I've ever had. read more

Today was the first time I've ever been to this place and I absolutely fell in love! It such a cute little place and it almost looks like a little girls playroom for a tea party. I went here with my sister-in-law and her friends for her bachelorette party and it was spectacular. The staff was awesome! Everything was delicious and perfect. I can't wait to come back again when I'm back in town. read more

I want to love this place but I find it hard to. Every time I go I am disappointed. Starting with the staff. Nice girls but they are not attentive to their customers needs and tend to leave you sitting alone for long periods of time. And you would think the owner would stress some type of dress code for staff. The fact that they work in sneakers, ripped jeans and tea shirts to me in a tea house is a bit unappealing. The tea house has a bit more of a formal setting--why is it okay for these girls to dress like they're headed to the gym? Khaki/black pants and white shirt and a fun "Kathleen's Tea House" apron would really change the atmosphere. And honestly--maybe make them a but more professional, or at least LOOK the part. I had to wait 30 minutes for one pot of tea. This was after asking for it twice. They rarely came to the table to see if we needed anything. These are such little things but they happen EVERY time I'm there. And like I said I want to like it--the food is great (even though I think waiting an hour for it is too long), and the place is charming. Just a little attention to dress and customer service. And if your kitchen is not ready when it opens at 11 they need to get there earlier. Because that's when we have always gone and the wait is inexcusable. read more

Charming, cute atmosphere with a great menu ready to satisfy many types of eaters (omni, vegetarian, & even a gluten free). Very generous portions! Especially loved the combinations on all the salads we ordered (Lucia's Salad, Kathleen's Chicken Salad, Cyndi's Salad). Fabulous homemade iced tea of the day. Also indulged in desserts (The Ultimate Scone, Three Pecan Diamonds) and hot teas - presented beautifully, generous and delicious. Will definitely come back. Wish there was one night a week that they stayed open until 7PM for a quick dinner (hint hint). read more

Bridal shower perfection. Lovely space, outstanding food and service- far exceeded all expectations!

What a disappointment! I had to flag down a waitress as my friend got stuck in bad traffic & couldn't make it. I guess if you're alone they don't wait on you. They should give you a tea warmer, glad I only got the 2 cup. My turkey with cranberry mayo sandwich on a croissant was small, just OK in taste. The apple crisp that I ordered to go was inedible, no pastry crust whatsoever, just apples that were way overheated & runny, terrible taste. Never again! read more

Great quaint atmosphere. Great room to gave quite time. Specializing in different or hard to find favored teas.

Took a friend for Birthday brunch. Excellent experience. Recommended that out have reservation in advance. Great food and unique atmospheric, fair prices read more

I'm not so enthralled by the décor. It looks like storage space for someone with a yard sale habit. The furniture is authentically quaint- the springs in my chair had died a long time ago. There's a lot to look at while you fidget and wait for your tea and refreshments, and once those arrive, there's no real need to come back up for air. We had two different types of quiche, mini tarts, scones, and some herbal tea and everything was perfection. The prices are not inexpensive- definitely more than what you would pay at a café- but the food is thoughtfully prepared, the staff are patient and lovely and kind, and the experience is worth savoring. I live and die by baked goods and the scones here are phenomenal. read more

Working nearby we order from here frequently . The Lucia salad has become a staple in my life! The beans are so full of flavor and they give you a generous amount. I've also dined in and have had the desserts which are simply amazing ! The only downfall is it's a bit overpriced but worth it . read more

had the bombay chicken salad. in regards to service, refer to my tip. as for the food, the fruit tasted fresh but it felt chicken was just dumped on there and the ratio from chicken to vegetables to fruit did not pan out. maybe i'll just get fruit to go next time read more

I came here for the first time about a year ago. I have been back several times with my daughter and in March with my friends to celebrate my birthday. They had never been here and everyone (4 of us) loved our lunch and desserts. As a matter of fact about a week later one of my friends took her daughters here. The atomosphere is so quaint and homey. Their food is all cooked to order and they do have gluten free options. I highly recommend it for either lunch or dinner. read more

Beyond wonderful! Everything we had was superb and the staff is very friendly. The owner is a gracious hostess. I would recommend it without hesitation. Make a reservation!! read more

we are live at kathleen's tea house. loving our tea luncheon, celebrating a bon voyage. as always the service is famtastic, the food is great and the ambiance is every girl's dream. make it special and visit kathleen's tea house!! read more

My Boyfriend found this place online We were both pretty excited to try it out as it looks quaint and different. I love experiencing new things. But even from the start the experience for me was bad. My boyfriends experience wasn't bad though. Walking into the little cafe it wasn't too busy, 4 small tables 1 was getting ready to leave. A couple minutes after we came in 1 more table came in. No one else came after that. we weren't sure if we were supposed to wait to be seated or if we were supposed to seat ourselves as this was our first time. When we came in no one greeted us and we stood there awkwardly. Finally one server told the other to put us at a table. Upon sitting down the first thing I noticed was that my tea cup had a big piece piece chipped out on the bottom and the teapot on the table which housed sugar lumps had dust buildup on the spout ( thankfully our tea wasn't poured out of it.) To be honest I would have overlooked both of those things had the rest of our experience been ok. The server was nice enough, took her several minutes to come back to us but we were ok waiting. While waiting the other waitress placed silverware in front of us as she reached across the table to put the silverware in front she was touching the prongs and cutting part of the knife with her fingers... Ok, I just wiped them with my napkin. Our server took our order and we were happy to look around at the neat items on display. I want to say we waited about 20 minutes after ordering to receive our food. I ordered the grilled chicken with mozzarella and peppers, she asked what kind of bread. I didn't know what they served so I asked, and decided upon white bread. When we got the food I realized I had gotten the wrong sandwich. I didn't bite into it, but looked at it and knew it wasn't right. I hate Mayo and they served the chicken with bacon and cranberry mayo ( sounded interesting but NOT what I ordered) I called the girl over and explained that this was not what I had ordered. She apologized and took the sandwich, I said it was ok, thinking the sandwich would be made a priority and come out quickly. I waited and waited. Finally A woman entered the door and I overheard the server ask her if she could make the sandwich because it wasn't right... At this point my boyfriend was nearly done with his food..... I was still waiting when another cook came out and was asking what happened to the other server. I overheard the other server tell the cook that she didn't care, if I can't read the menu then that's my problem..... I held my tongue, and asked my BF to go pay for more parking because we had only paid for an hour 2:41 pm to be exact. I finally got my food 8 minutes before the hour expired 3:33Pm. Boyfriend's meal was finished by this time..... It was the right sandwich this time however they put it on the club roll which I didn't want..... I didn't bother complaining again as I just wanted to eat and get out of there. When we originally ordered I had told the girl I also wanted to order the Peach melba scone. She brought it out, it tasted ok, nothing wrong with it. I was however surprised when they brought the check and nothing had been done to make the experience better.. I work in food service and know that that is NOT how you keep repeat guests. They could have sent the manager/owner out to see me or even just taken my drink off the bill and I would have been happy. But nothing was offered and even though I normally would have asked to speak with the manager I just wanted to leave. Nothing about this experience went well for me and the food was mediocre at best. Cute and quaint, but high priced. I Don't mind paying high price for my food as long as it is quality food and great service. Not what I got here. read more

Great atmosphere, food and service. Great for a leisurely luncheon with family or business associates

Simply exquisite! Such warm southern hospitality. Great Food. Amazing scones. I can not say enough about how much we enjoyed Kathleen's Tea Room. The attention to detail and top notch service made the bridal shower perfect. Everyone loved the atmosphere, and especially the high tea. Can't wait to go back.... dreaming of the raspberry jam with warm scones. Deeeeeelish! read more

Kathleen's Tea Room was heavenly. "Kathleen" (Cindy) was wonderful hostess to our first tea room experience. She assisted us with our tea selection, even gave us a sample. Her food recommendations were spot on as she walked my friends and I thru her well-crafted menu. The Brie and Bacon sandwich was divine. Her salad and fruit were fresh and crisp. The atmosphere of the tea room kept our attention through the whole experience. Cindy even gave us recommendations of places to visit in Peekskill, as well as having our prefect scones waiting for us for pickup after our shopping-spree in Peekskill. Kathleen and her staff gave us exceptional service. I highly recommend to stop by for two-cup tea. read more

Great food. Awesome service. Decor was nice. Can't wait to go back!!! Peekskill has such cool spots!!!!

Was back in Peekskill for a day and had to stop in at Kathleen's. Everything on the menu is out of this world. Never a disappointment.

Even under new management, Kathleen's Tea Room is still a great place to have tea, and the food is wonderful too. The room itself is sweetly decorated with mismatched china and cozy touches. The tea menu is large with a variety of black, green, herbal and white teas, among other beverages for those who don't like tea. The sandwiches and salads are tasty and definitely better than similar fare at other restaurants because of the attention to detail the chef shows at Kathleen's. If you have one thing on the menu, have a scone. If you are a bit hungrier, have dessert. Any of the desserts that feature their scones and whipped cream are well worth the calories. This a great spot for parties as well, and you can often find bridal or baby showers, birthday parties or families at Kathleen's. There's even a bookshelf and dress up area for kids. All around a delicious gem in Northern Westchester. Remember to make a reservation on the weekends! read more

Lovely place for tea and light snacks, or a full meal. The tea menu is delightfully enormous! The veggie sandwich was delicious, which I really appreciated - most vegetarian options are an afterthought, but the flavors were delightful. read more

I DO love Kathleen's! Just had a nice Soup & half sandwich lunch there - and the half sand. was HUGE! More than enough food.I only wish they would have fat free milk since I would LOVE a nice hot chocolate :) read more

I received a Living Social coupon for Kathleen's which for $12 you can get a tea service for two. I felt like it was more of a tea for one and felt disappointed and taken. I would at least expect 2 scones instead of one (make them smaller if needed). I had to cut most items in half to share with my mother (good thing it was my mom!). Anyway, after looking at the menu I was shocked to see that the tea service for one was $21! Seems expensive to me, especially for what we got for two and being in Peekskill. I think everyone else felt the same because I didn't see one person with high tea on their table. I saw that people mostly got salads. As for the quality of the food, I thought it was very good. I loved the beet sandwiches (it had other ingredients too, but not sure what) and I am not a beet lover. If you closed your eyes you wouldn't even know you had beets. Whatever it was, it was delicious! Most of the other items were very good too. If you are in Peekskill, Kathleen's is a nice place to go for lunch. I think they should sell the beet sandwiches with a small side salad. read more

I go to Kathleens with my friends when we just want to celebrate an event or enjoy our time together. EVERY experience is fantastic. I love the atmosphere and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. The service is great. Whether you visit for tea and dessert or a wonderful lunch (or both) the food is fresh and tasty. To be safe, I advise that you make a reservation, especially if you have a small group. You will not be disappointed. read more

I was afraid Kathleen's would lose it's quirky charm, when the ownership changed hands, but if anything, it has improved. The formerly glacially slow service has improved, and the food, especially the desserts- still great. A wonderful place for lunch with the girls, or the guys, or the girls and the guys. read more

My sister and I stopped in for lunch. Been wanting to try it for sometime now. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. we told them I was planning to move to Peekskill this summer. I guess they told the owner because she came out to welcome us and thank us for stopping in. So nice! We ordered the Bombay chicken salad and Kathleen's chicken salad the share. The were both delicious. The Bombay chicken salad was my favorite! Best curry chicken salad I have EVER had and I am a big fan. We also shared the Short Cake Trio for dessert. It was a Miniature Mixed Berry, a Strawberry Shortcake & a Peach Melba. The scones they were made with were light and crumbly and so good we ordered two scones with butter and jam to go for breakfast! I am enjoying it right now! Can't wait to take my daughters, ages 10 and 7, for afternoon tea! They love to have tea with their Aunties! Also love the eclectic decor! read more

My mother and sister hosted my Bridal Shower at Kathleen's Tea Room last November and it was completely AMAZING!! I studied abroad in London so High Tea holds a special place in my heart, and Kathleen's executed the entire day to perfection . The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. My mother and sister said from day one of the planning the owner was an absolute doll and pleasure to work with. She met with them before hand to make sure every detail was in place. Kathleen's is decorated so beautifully and the tea, sandwiches and scones are first class! All of my guests are still talking about how much they loved the shower and those that live in the area have gone back for the amazing tea and scones! Thank you to Kathleen's Tea Room for a day me and my family and friends will never forget! read more

Very disappointed with unfriendly service. At 11am on June 18 couldn't get seated at totally empty establishment.

I have enjoyed going here for many years. The teas are wonderful the food is made to order and delish! Tucked in a vintage building on Main Street but soo worth a try :-) read more

Everything is wonderful. This is my favorite lunch spot I bring everyone I know to this place. The owner, food, and ambiance is wonderful. This is a must stop at Peekskill. read more

I went to Kathleen's last August and I enjoyed it so much when I was in town again I went there with my parents. We each got a delicious and large meal as well as fresh scone with jam fruit and butter. The scones were fresh baked and delicious and the tea was lovely. I still have some of the jasmine green tea I bought last time to make at home. Our server even remembered me from August! Overall we had great food, great tea, and great service. read more

Shared the afternoon tea. Good food, very cute, with friendly service. It felt like a real English Tea Room. Seems very popular.

this place is great for a get together with friends over light food fare and delicious tea. the tea sandwiches and desserts are average, the scones and crumpets are great. the tea is great and is served in unique tea pots with different cups and saucers. It is a little pricey though and the service is nothing special (you would expect the waitresses at a tea house to be smiling and very nice), but the atmosphere is nice and a cool find in Peekskill. read more

I'm a resident of Peekskill and have been to Kathleen's a number of times. In the beginning, all the food I had was fantastic--from sandwiches to soups to desserts. The desserts and teas are still amazing, but unfortunately, the macaroni and cheese and the root vegetables, a former favorite of mine, are less than good. The servings are ample, but the food is bland. So go for tea and definitely get dessert! read more

We had lunch at Kathleen's and the food was delicious. The tea selection was spectacular. The place is decorated exactly as one would think a tea room should be--fabric on the chair pads matches the drapes and everything is coordinated in the most charming way. The patterns on the tea cups are all different, with mis-matched saucers and so on--this adds to the charm. There are teapots and related items on all the walls and yet I did not see dust on anything. The place was very clean. We could not have been more pleased with the food, the tea, or the staff members. I particularly got a kick out of the waitress wearing an AC/DC t-shirt with an adorable polka dot skirt. You've got to love that. read more

Love this place!!! We made a special trip here and it was fantastic. The decor is adorable and the food and tea is fantastic. Yummy food and generous portions. A huge tea menu and the staff and owner was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!! read more

This is my first visit to Kathleen's and I chose the smoked salmon. When my meal arrived I hesitated. It was so beautifully presented I had to admire the artistry of its plating. My first taste did not disappoint. Each bite revealed a tasty garnish that was garden fresh, flavorful and an excellent complement to some excellent sliced salmon. read more

Kathleen's is such a fantastic neighborhood place. Both sweet (scones/cookies) and savory (salads/sandwiches) never disappoint. It is truly a gem in Peekskill. read more

I love tea rooms and we decided to drive to Peekskill just to visit this tea room as it has a lot of good reviews. I really wanted to like it but I didn't. First, the service was slow and sad, I felt bad for the waiter cause she looked so sad, and the owner looked so sad, so it made me sad. Like, smile a bit, you can't look like you are going to break down when u work at the restaurant. Second, it wasn't clean. The cups were stained with tea. There was a lot of dust all over. It is just drowning in things and it looks like all those things were bought in those antique stores at Cold Spring and never washed. The cups need an update. And teapots too, they try so hard to have a nice atmosphere and pretty things all over but they are having ugly teapots. It's a tearoom, teapots should be the centerpiece! The food is ok, it seems overpriced as it's just ok, nothing special. Desserts are blah, very overpriced as well. Tea...honestly, my Ahmad teabags taste better or quiet the same. I'm glad I came to satisfy my curiosity but I won't come again. Florrie Kayes tea room in Carmel is so much better (I'm not affiliated with any of these tearooms, I just like tea). read more
