Super lovely place. This was my first visit. I live 45 mins away but I would go back. The soup (hot) of the day was chicken pot pie. I loved it. I did the pick 2 and got the roast beef sandwich, tastes very fresh. This comes with potato chips which is ok, but a healthy option would be nice. I usually don't get dessert but I chose the raspberry scone. Just the right amount of sweet since I'm not into sweets that much. I had a pot of hot tea. I refreshed the hot water in the pot and steeped my tea again. What I had left over in the second pot they offered me a cup to go to fill it with. Which was nice for my long drive home. All the ladies that work there are very friendly. Brooke, our server brought our meal very quickly and was attentive of our needs. read more

I love this charming little tea room! The food is amazing! I have been here a few times and everything was great. The menu is a bit small, but they really go for quality over quantity. Everything is hand made, even the salad dressing. I didn't know what to expect the first time trying the strawberry soup, but it's pretty good...more like a dessert. Highly recommend! read more

What a sweet place for lunch. Interior is cute, staff is welcoming and friendly and food was delicious. My favorite is the cinnamon sugar muffin! read more

Letty Mae's Tea Room - Tea Rooms Near Me - Morris, Illinois

Yum. Fresh tea and cross isn't Sammy's? How about a quiche or chicken salad?? Everything is great and this place is so stinking cute!

I know this place has charm and Is a favorite for girls' gatherings. Wish they served breakfast though. I took my daughters from Portland there and wish there were some updated choices. It was ok though and good location in town. read more

Great tasting and properly sized portions. Softer seats or chair cushions would be nice. Plenty of options for vegetarians. Very accommodating to special dietary requests and equivalent substitutions. Lays chips seemed out of place with higher end presentation, but staff said extremely popular. Well worth planning ahead for limited hours. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more

Such an adorable place! We came as a family for lunch one afternoon and had a great time. The mismatched teapots and cups were so charming and the lemonade was delicious. My husband and I loved our meals but the kid's meals weren't the greatest. My son would have loved a grilled cheese option. They both settled for a PB&J which was so loaded with jelly that it squished out everywhere and made a huge mess. It had enough jelly for at least 4-5 sandwiches. We had to cut them into bite sized pieces to try to get our children to eat them with a fork. read more

What a magical tea room. Loved, loved, loved it. From the cute decor to the yummy food and friendly service, my first visit here will not be my last. We got the quiche and pumpkin pie soup and finished it off with a scone. Excellent!!! Had a chance to chat with Murphy, the owner. Will be back, especially in the summer, so I can eat out on the patio. read more

Although it's a 45 minutes drive, I try to make it to Morris at least monthly and Letty Mae's is one of my first stops! An adorable tea room tucked in a quiet courtyard, it is an explosion of repurposed chic! Napkins and tablecloths are old linens, vintage hankie valences adorn the windows, vintage apron garlands drape from the ceiling. Everything is vintage, repurposed. Silverware, plates, cups, adorable table decorations. Now for the food! Daily sliders, two soups (cold strawberry, yum!), quiche, salads. Baked goods include Whoopi's pies, cup cakes, cake pops... they have hot and iced tea, lemonade-regular and strawberry! You won't go hungry. Service is very attentive, but sometimes large parties can tax the servers. There is both a first floor and second floor seating area, both allow for lots of looking at decor and people watching. Owner always stops by to say hi and all staff is sweet! read more

This is a quaint and friendly mom and pop store. While there is a disability ramp, it is somewhat difficult to move around if you need a lot of room. There is split level seating with minimal seats on the main floor. I frequent this cafe as it has great coffee and a friendly atmosphere. There are a couple vegetarian options but I would love to see 1 or 2 more and a vegan item. We always have fun looking at the vintage decor. The women's bathroom is large if you need extra room for a walker or wheel chair. While I have seen a few men eat here with their wives, you see mostly women as patrons. It can become extremely loud when busy and difficult to hear one another. The owner is friendly and engaging and cares about your experience. Prices are moderate for the area, IMO. The waitresses are nice and do their best when busy. This place is great to visit during the French Hen Market but be prepared to wait for a long time for a seat unless you go early. They stop serving at 2pm. I really wish they were open past 2pm, even if they closed for 2 hours and reopened for early supper on fridays and Saturdays. I think they could make a lot of money on Friday and Saturdays, especially during morris events (car show, holiday events, etc...). I recommend going for lunch and coffee! read more

Here is a place that if someone in town didn't tell us about it we would have walked right past. You enter into the restaurant in the back of the building. We had to walk down an ally to get there. It looks like any other shop in downtown Morris. Once you get inside you feel like you are back at Grandma's house. You are greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello. It was quite busy, but don't let that discourage you. We waited no more than 5 minutes before we were seated(a party of 5). They took us to our table up a flight of stair to the second floor. My wife, daughter, two sons and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant. Our waitress (Amy) was at our table as soon as we sat down. She put silverware wrapped in cloth napkins out for each of us. Each napkin had a different pattern on it which made it unique. Then she brought over tea cups for each of us. She took our drink order. She then comes back with a little tea cup and tea pot filled with Strawberry Lemonade for my daughter. She was so excited to have her own little tea party at lunch. We ordered our lunch and then enjoyed the ambiance. Our lunch came shortly after we order. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes. My lunch was the special of the day a Reuben slider with a cup of soup and chips. The soup was mushroom tortellini. It was a great start to my meal. I took one bite of my sandwich and it was amazing. It was easily the best Reuben sandwich I have ever eaten. Everyone had a great lunch. If ever in the town of Morris stop in to Letty Mae's you will enjoy it from the time you walk in to the time you leave. read more

This place is a gem. Super food and baked goods. The lady that servers our food and tea was extremely pleasant. The decor is a big bonus. This place has real character. Give it a try. read more

This place is a gem! Great food.....loved the strawberry soup! Everyhing on the menu is homemade from scratch. The ladies that work there are delightful, and the decor is eye candy. Plenty of shops afterwards to walk off the calories. I can't wait to go back! read more

My daughter took me to Letty Mae's today for my birthday lunch. It's a very quaint little café the food was good the service was very good but I have to say, I had a half a sandwich and soup the portions were just right except for the sandwich it had so little egg salad on it that I couldn't even taste the egg salad also couldn't taste any blue cheese or bacon, sounded delicious on the menu but a big disappointment! Maybe it was because they were so busy. But for over $32 it should have been much better in my opinion. read more

GEM....Whether you go with girlfriends or with your spouse this is a gem of a restaurant. The atmosphere is my favorite part! From the dishes, tables & chairs, and all around decor, you won't be disappointed. It's warm and inviting. I loved a table cloth and was able to purchase it right off the table. Let's not forget the food. Where do I start....The soups -my favorite thing on the menu! The sandwiches are all very fresh and tasty. Be aware, if there is an event going on in town you might have to wait a while to either be seated or to eat once you are seated. It can be painfully slow on a busy day. On a normal day they are very punctual. That being said, It is still worth going for the atmosphere and food. A great dining experience!! read more

We had a large birthday tea for my Mom's 77th Birthday here. Service was great. Food a ten! All the Aunts and cousins loved it. We will be back. Love the fresh soups, salads, quiche and sandwiches. Well worth every penny! Awesome selection of teas. read more

This place is amazing. The first time I went here for lunch with my mom we were just in awe of all of the little details. Striped and polka dotted aper straws for the drinks in ball jar glasses, real silver silverware, cloth floral napkins, beautiful decorations everywhere... everything was just adorable and the attention to detail was so cool. We had the blueberry pomegranate tea which was delicious. Adorable little teal teapot. We had the chicken pot pie soup which was so tasty, the strawberry chicken salad, and the turkey sandwich. Everything was fresh and homemade and we loved it all. The scones and muffins that come with the meals are amazing and just put this place over the top. I've had the chocolate chip muffin and the french toast muffin and both were to die for. Expect to take a leisurely lunch as they aren't super quick, but that's the point is to relax and enjoy yourself. I've been here a few times since and have been just as impressed each time. read more

One of my favorite spots to lunch in Morris. The decor is shabby chic with adorable mis-matched vintage tablecloths, teacups and silverware adding to the charm. Vintage kitchen aprons and kitchenware decorate the walls and space. My favorite item is their chicken salad with pecans and strawberry soup. In summer, they also have a fresh peach soup. If you're looking for something hot, their quiche of the day is good too. Get there early, as they don't take reservations for small parties. My daughters love it when I take them there. read more

Absolutely loved the food and kindness at letty maes. Kayla was a fantastic waitress and the food was awesome. The atmosphere was to die for, so darn cute. Going back next time we are in town. read more

This place is cool but the waiters are kind of snotty and they answer the phone rudly im not trying to get them in trouble but they could be a little more considerate otherwise greatplace read more

I really love this place! They have a good selection of sandwiches and salads. I ordered their chicken salad and it was huge, so I had plenty of leftovers. It's in a great area in Morris, right next to multiple little shops. read more

Yummy. Just love the food. It was a strawberry type of day. Just love the chicken and pecan Croissant.

Incredible: eats, teas, service, decor, antiquities, taste, coziness, everything. I stumbled on this down an alley where I was on a tea hunt. I felt I had a whimsical experience out of a dream. The only down side is I don't live near Morris and I'll be thinking of this tea room again and again. I especially loved their Art of Teas and salad. Erin is the best read more

Nice atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty, excellent soup. It was a bit pricey I thought, but the service was great and it is a fun place to go. read more

Love this special place for lunch! The decor reminds me of my great-grandmother's home: feminine and dainty, mindful of details. The food is delicious and fresh - I highly recommend the cold strawberry soup (they offer samples for the skeptical) and chicken salad sandwich with a strawberry lemonade! This is a special place to enjoy lunch with your girlfriends or the gals in your family - I recently enjoyed a two-hour lunch there with a friend, and never once did we feel rushed. There are fresh baked goods that I had no room for - but they looked decadent! Next time, I will definitely plan to save room for dessert or bring a cupcake home for later! In sum: wonderful atmosphere, fabulous food, and special memories. read more

Yesterday, a wonderful friend took me to Letty Mae's for a birthday treat and I was so impressed with the decor, food and very friendly attention from the hostess, server and the owner herself. It felt like being welcomed into someone's home. Loved hearing about the history, traditions and new beginnings from the new owner. We loved everything about it even though it was a drive for us, it was well worth it. Since we can no longer go to Pickwick's in Frankfort, Letty Mae's Tea Room will be our new favorite spot. read more

Beautiful, vintage, airy atmosphere. Love the quaint decor and that there are two levels. The quiche was totally scrumptious! Fun tea flavors to choose from. Perfect for a special lunch party with your girls or with your mom. It's a place that makes you feel pretty and feminine. The red velvet cupcakes were yummy and my friend raved about her cold strawberry soup! I cannot wait to visit again. Also, the owner was friendly and spoke with us for a bit at our table. She and our friendly server seemed to genuinely like working there, so that is an extra bonus to me! It's such a great sign when the staff is happy. read more

So cute! The food is absolutely amazing! So fresh and tasty. I have a 3yo and a 4yo and they adore this place! They even brought the girls tiny tea cups to drink out of! I have been back several times and would love to keep this place my lil' secret, but I can't stop talking about it! read more

Excellent!! Our sister Lessie lives in Morris, so, we hear first hand all the new shops etc. When she told us about the tea room,,,we had to go. It's just wonderful, the food is so fresh, the strawberry soup is to die for. We will always come back to Letty Mae's. Super friendly staff, worth the wait when their so busy. Marie G. & Norma H. read more

Love this place it's like escaping into a English Tea Room. It's also the perfect place for a girls day out

Great concept. Nice desserts and tea. Lunch, however needs an update. With only a few choices, the menu needs to change to bring variety. And the chips as a side? Those have to go. Tearooms do not serve chips! read more

This tea room is so so cute. The staff is very friendly and food is fantastic. The tables are set with vintage tea cups, china and table cloths. Great place to have lunch with the girlfriends. Love it. read more

I threw a baby shower at Letty Mae's and would highly recommend it. Jan, the new owner, was easy to communicate with and very organized. I opted for the soup and 1/2 sandwich package; it included beverages and dessert as well. The price was very reasonable especially considering we had the whole place to ourselves and didn't have to decorate (I love their vintage decor!). The food- wow. The chicken salad sandwich (I forget the actual name of it) on a croissant was a big hit with my group and the colorful fruit garnish on the vintage plates really made the meal look special. Try the chicken pot pie soup- you'll thank me later. There were several choices for dessert but I chose 2 cakes- one chocolate and one vanilla. They. Were. Incredible. Fresh, obviously made with high quality ingredients and flavorful are how I'd describe them. One of my guests is a professional baker and she was floored. Thank you Letty Mae's for sharing this wonderful place! read more

I couldn't love this place more!! Perfect spot for lunch with Mom. I crave the chicken salad and strawberry soup!

I am excited to go I am taking my daughter there for her birthday. She wants a tea party.This sounds perfect..

DELICIOUS!! Road trip with a friend to do some shopping at the small stores in Morris for the afternoon and found this treasure. Everyone working is friendly and helpful. The restaurant was quaint and eclectic with antiques. The food was wonderful. It was quite a wonderful find for us. Will come again and will definitely tell others to make the trip. read more

Great atmosphere with a very fun decor. Incredibly tasty food! I had the chicken salad sandwich. Will definitely return to try more options on the menu! read more

A charming tea room and delicious egg salad(half sandwich with salad $10.65). Be aware that you must have cash or be prepared to pay the entire bill with one credit card. They will not break out individual bills. My party dined there this week, and I must say, this is a bit of an annoyance. read more
