    Such a wonderful addition to downtown Geneva! This is the perfect place to celebrate something special or a classy girls day out. I went with a larger group of 8 people. I wasn't the person handling the reservation but it seemed to book up quickly so planning ahead is KEY! We were all seated at a large square table with a food platter for each side of the table. You get a 2 hour slot for your table which we found to be plenty of time. The wait staff does an excellent job keeping things flowing and explaining how everything works. They took our tea orders right away. I tried the winter cherry tea which was great. The sugar cookie was another big hit at the table. The food was also delicious. The portions are deceiving. It doesn't look like a lot of food but it was certainly filling. I ended up taking most of the desserts home.

    Oak & Rose Tea Room is nestled in the beautifully charming downtown Geneva, offering a stunning view of the river. The space feels intimate and cozy, yet still exudes a touch of luxury. I made our reservation online through OpenTable for myself and my girlfriends, and we went on a Sunday. It was absolutely wonderful. The owner is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and it's clear how passionate she is about what she does. The staff is just as kind and attentive, which really enhances the entire experience. I've visited once in the spring and now again in the fall, so I've had the pleasure of trying two different seasonal menus. We started, of course, with tea. I ordered the seasonal Maple French Toast Oolong, which was incredible. I'll be thinking about that tea for a long time. My friends ordered the Jasmine Green and the Chamomile, and both loved their choices. Our meal began with a rich tomato soup that paired perfectly with their take on a grilled cheese sandwich. The other sandwiches were just as delicious. The next tier featured scones and biscuits; the scone was my favorite item of the entire afternoon and the dessert selection was equally decadent. I truly believe this is the best place for high tea. I've visited a few tea rooms in Chicago that are far more expensive and nowhere near as thoughtful. While high tea is always a bit of a splurge, Oak & Rose delivers exceptional value; everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you're planning a girls' outing, a bridal shower, or a baby shower, Oak & Rose Tea Room is the perfect spot to celebrate and unwind.

    My friends brought me here for a special occasion and overall we had a lovely time! The building was initially slightly hard to locate: it's in a little plaza near a park just west of the river, slightly tucked away. Look for the signs to lead you toward it. We were greeted by the owner's mother, who was helping out and was very nice, and seated us. We were offered the tea menu and could try multiple teas throughout the meal. I had the Kyoto Cherry Rose, which was very mild but initially the water came out very tepid so they made me a new pot (my friends didn't have this problem); later I had the Bella Coola, which was citrusy but poured a beautiful pink color! The food menu is set, a combo of savories, sweets, and scones including homemade clotted cream; we all particularly liked the scones! I liked the savory offerings but some were a bit big to be eaten in one bite but too tough to cut in half (crusty bread, prosciutto, etc). My favorite dessert was the mini trifle. The place started out pretty quiet but as it filled up got surprisingly loud! Perhaps they need to invest in some sound absorption panels (the ceiling is very industrial), because sitting against a wall it was rather hard to hear each other talk with several large boisterous tables nearby. The vibe was more "sorority brunch" than any tea room I have been to before; usually they are more sedate. The setting is very nice and the view of the river is lovely. Staff kept an eye on us, including checking if we wanted more tea. Overall, a nice dining experience in downtown Geneva.

    We came in for an afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday, the owner met us at the door and had the table ready for us. Reservations are by appointment only but it ensures there aren't too many people and allows for everyone to enjoy the ambiance. They do offer gluten free options which is a huge play because many tea rooms do not accommodate for dietary restrictions. All the gluten free options are comparable to the regular options so you can share and discuss with the others in your party. As others have mentioned, you may have as many teas as your heart desires. We were told they change their menu seasonally so I will definitely be back!

Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.

The people at check-out also have an attitude when you question why their "upcharges" on Pepper Jack, Muenster, Swiss and Provolone cheeses don't match their menu costs on-line. Then they "tell you to read" when you question the $4.00 credit card upcharge - and smile and say that "everyone does it"...guess that makes it OK. This place used to be great and their facility in Carol Stream was legendary. We have been a customer for over 35 of their 48 years when Augie and Phyllis started. Now the portions have been reduced, and the bread tastes a day old. The eggplant parmesan sandwich is not nearly as thick as it used to be and their famous Italian sub which used to be very generous with the meats, will be making them less famous soon enough. Dislike leaving this review because of our history . . . but places change and good things come to an end at some point. Better options out there with more variety, stable pricing and consistent portions, tastes and breads.
