    One version of a vegan/ gluten free platter (options vary)
    Atira L.

    Leaving a review for the Mathis House is past due for me. I found this place doing a Google search for "hot tea" in Toms River. I called them and expected them to say that they had no vegan or gluten-free options. But the owner, Vicki, answered the phone and told me they had vegan and gluten-free tea service, including scones, sandwiches, desserts, and more. I was shocked! My mom and I went there for lunch about a week later. Our waitress was so knowledgeable about the house and the food options and she answered all of our questions. That was the beginning of a long history of coming to the Mathis House. I have since brought groups of friends ranging from five to twenty. We have attended a few Afternoon Teas, including the holiday sessions; Cinco de Mayo, and a Masquerade Murder Mystery. I recently celebrated my birthday there. My favorite thing about the house is how we can view the lovely decorations. The house is decorated to reflect every season. Plus, I love how vintage and classy the atmosphere feels. A visit to the Mathis House is always an enjoyable time!

    Afternoon 5-course tea, preceded by a small salad and cup of soup

    Lovely afternoon tea. Small salad, delicious cup of soup with croutons (we had carrot coconut) and a nice presentation of tea sandwiches, scones, dessert. The soup, scones, and tea sandwiches were amazing. The dessert was lovely, perhaps not as imaginative as other afternoon teas but still very lovely. They don't rush you which is so nice. You can wander the first and second floor of the mansion to view the other tea rooms, retail shopping, and even peek at some of the bedrooms if they're open at the time.

    My husband and I had a wonderful one night stay at the Mathis House at the end of September. We had a party to attend down in Toms River and we wanted to also celebrate our 10 year anniversary so I was looking for a nice place to stay the evening. Someone recommended the Mathis House and I am so glad they did! What a cute bed and breakfast! We arrived around 3:00 to check in and we stayed in the room, Lady Genevieve. It was a very cute Parisian themed room with a queen bed, a small TV, a cute vanity, and a smallish bathroom. We were brought up to the room by the hostess down in the tea room. She explained to us there are snacks upstairs by the rooms and a Keurig coffee maker. She also warned us that the house is quite old, so it takes time for the shower to heat up. To be honest, I didn't feel like it took that long at all, and everything was perfect. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, temperature was perfect, and the included breakfast in the morning just really hit the spot! Breakfast was at 9:30 downstairs in the tea room (which was so cute and decorated for Fall). I had a coffee and an orange juice. The breakfast spread was absolutely delicious. The waitress brought out a board of all the most amazing breakfast foods. We got cinnamon raison french toast, sausage and cheese frittatas, bacon, fresh fruit, and orange / cranberry scones. It was all to die for. So so good. And the scone? Top notch! I felt full, but not overly full. It was the perfect amount for the both of us and it was such a nice way to end an enjoyable stay at the Mathis House.

    I went to this place today with a group of 15 people for their tea experience. The food was delicious along with the three different teas that they served with soup, salad, sandwiches, & desserts. I definitely will try this place again.

    What a nice Victorian B&B tight in the heart of Tom's River. As their ad says "The Lixury of Today, the Coziness of Yesterday ". I did not stay here but since I was in the area , I was curious. You can book small gatherings like a moderate-sized party ie anniversaries, birthdays, corporate and tea. Very " English" if you get my point. There are five bedrooms in this three-story Victorian home. I believe the rates are mentioned in their website. They also sell on the third floor seasonal items such as Christmas & Thanksgiving tchotchkes with gift baskets. This is also a nice romantic getaway for those of that ilk.

    Salad in a tea cup

    first time ever going here , place was amazing , Awesome Design & details! it was for a bridal shower with at least 35 guests! each table had about 4 to 5 ladies ! Now upon arrival 11:00 am ( time listed ) each table had 3 pots of different teas to try ! Table were set nicely accordingly to the tea Theme out table did not have Sugar cube bowl on it and we couldn't drink our hot tea until we received sugar! Now our salads were being served , our table which was middle of the room were last to receive a tea cup of salad which was very fresh and delicious, Our choice of soup was served next , again last to be served . But what was disappointing was having to hear about how this place came to light ! Now normally it would have been okay to stop eating and listen to the tour guild tell his tale but we were only there for 2 hours ( again bridal shower ) When the story was over we were then served the 3 tiers of finger sandwiches which were Egg salad on cut in half croissant ! Cucumber & scallions cream cheese, little tuna salad and a turkey & cheese ! bottom shelf , only small half per person was offered . second level had just one blue berry scone per person! they were soft and very sweet! Top shelf of the tier was sweets little bite size pieces of marble cakes , 2 straw berries covered in chocolate ( 4 ppl at table ) a few mini cupcakes ! The hostess was asked by several guest to please put the Air Conditioner on it was very hot out that day we were all sweating that also ruined the experience !! Would I go again ? Yes but never in August' !

    I have lived in Toms River for 10 years and point honestly did not know this place existed until two weeks ago. It is such a pleasant time. I think that is the best way to describe it. Everyone in the staff is so kind and knowledgeable about the tea. They take photos for you which was nice. There's also a little gift shop where you can purchase teas or even local goods. They have hats to wear to fit in the tea vibe. Realllly enjoyed it.

    Charming! ! . Go back in time to the Victorian era and enjoy a traditional tea from vintage tea cup and teapot with tasty little finger sandwiches and scones. Choice of teas are phenomenal. Service was pleasant and educational. Price fixe was perfect. Take your daughter or granddaughter they'll love it

    Main course & dessert (lunch)

    Excellent customer service!! I absolutely loved the place. Exactly what I was looking for. My sister & I were worried we'd be over dressed but felt like we fit right in with the vibe. I was expecting to feel a little hungry after but oh my gosh the food was delicious & I was stuffed!! Be sure to take a look upstairs too, super cute!! I got the raspberry (I think) lemon tea. To die for. Next time I'm wearing a derby hat
