Highly recommend if looking for a tea room in NJ, you get a very special and intimate experience that cannot compare to any place else!

Authentic tea sandwiches are made with delicate, thinly sliced bread, usually white, with filling appropriately proportioned to the bread. Pretty china was used. One full tea service plus a soup and a second pot of tea cost about 80.00 with tax and tip. Rather pricey for the quality, unfortunately. The yea with the caramel candy pieces tasted strangely artificial but the herbal blueberry tea was delicious. The tea shop was fun to browse and the tea pots and accessories for sale were very nice as well but again, quite pricey. This was our first time dining in Radnor, PA, so as a Philly suburb, this may be the standard here. Next time we will drive into the city for higher quality food.

If you do not have clotted cream simply don't serve clotted cream. Don't give me a ramekin of…read morewhipped cream and tell me it's clotted cream like I'm stupid There are plenty of etiquette rules and standards to attending an afternoon tea service but there are as many to serving one. Management and ownership have never attended a tea service or researched how to host one Each table is limited to two selections and two pots of tea. Don't agree? Oh well. Refills? Extra charge. But wait you actually receive three pots of tea because upon seating a pot of the "seasonal" herbal tea is served whether you like it or not.m Additionally serving milk with black tea selections is apparently not standard practice here and needs to be specifically requested. The Earl Grey tea is excellent First course: salad. Hopefully no one in your party has severe nut allergies because before even taking tea selections a plate of spring mix buried under a pile of walnuts is dropped in front of you. Those in our party able to eat the salad did not enjoy it Second course: savouries. Finger sandwiches were fresh. Chicken salad was excellent. Egg salad on croissant was good I personally disagree with quiche being served as it's non-traditional but it is accepted in many circles and the quiche was also good However I have absolutely no doubt that the chicken salad and egg salad were scooped out of premade tubs from Sysco or Restaurant Depot judging by the sweets Scones: underbaked. Disappointing given reviews raving about them. Maybe we received a bad batch maybe the local population has never had a decent scone. Will not be returning to find out Presumably since the savoury scone (an abomination in my opinion) was served in the same course as a sweet scone the only butter served was a savoury herb butter. As a result there was no butter available for the "butterscotch" scone and there would not have been enough anyway considering we received about a tablespoon of butter and two tablespoons of both other toppings between five people The "clotted cream" has been addressed as it was the most offensive part of enduring this experience. Rather than a traditional jam or marmalade none of which we were served we were given a "mango compote." How someone decided mango and butterscotch are complementary I have no idea. Anyone in this industry would recognize Reàl purée squeezed out of a plastic bottle Sweets: thaw and serve La Boulangerie des Gourmets frozen macarons (which include a pistachio flavor and are packaged in one tray so again watch for nut allergies if you think you're safe eating a lemon macaron as this obviously isn't disclosed). I see these are being sold separately outside of the tea service 6/$14. They are 57¢ ea Chocolate mousse mix piped into a plastic cup with a processed whipped topping. The most edible dessert Menu lists lemon cheesecake server identified small tarts as key lime pie. Not sure which we received but can note the filling at least (probably not the tart shell) is made in house because we received more than one batch with one having not even a hint of citrus Saving the worst for last the "strawberry" cupcake. First and foremost cupcakes chocolate mousse and macarons (and most egregious cannolis listed on the children's menu) are not standard sweets served with afternoon tea. But this cupcake? The cupcakes we were served here were the driest cake I have ever seen in my life completely inedible. The frosting was some sort of processed palm oil goo and neither cake nor frosting had any strawberry flavor Atmosphere and service: service was friendly albeit casual slow and not attentive. Server was not very knowledgeable. Not her fault Space was fine if gaudy. Table was crowded. I share another reviewer's sentiment but the table cloth was about a foot longer than the table was high which made sitting movement or pushing a chair in difficult. It felt like wearing a heavy blanket that was pulled taut the entire experience Paper napkins and plastic dishes. At over $40 per person you would expect more As a side note standard afternoon tea practice is being offered or asking for additional items the guests like. However the menu had prices listed for additional sides of all items served on the tea service. Given the quality vs cost this felt particularly gauche It's hard to comprehend why the owners or management here can't get the tea service right. The hardest part is finger sandwiches and freshness which they seem to have managed. Good quality premade desserts are available and scones are not difficult to make. It honestly seems like a lack of effort on their part or a lack of respect for their customers which is frustrating All in all a very expensive abysmal experience. I'm sure there are decent afternoon teas available in this area at a similar price. Fortnum and Mason and the Covent Garden Hotel in London both known for afternoon teas charge £45 per person Two stars for the chicken salad server and Earl Grey

Yesterday between 2:30 -5:00 I was to host a baby shower for my daughter at Mimi's Tea Cottage…read more Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans. All last week the various weather models were all over the place. Most showed the storm hugging the coast. The storm was to move in as the sun went down and darkness set in. Sunday morning the forcast had changed. The storm moved westward. All that lived in the Philadelphia news station viewing area were to get hit earlier with more snow than expected. At 10 AM West Chester Borough declared a snow emergency. I expected to hear from the tea room. I did not. Around 11 I placed a call to the event coordinator. I expressed my concerns. She was very nice but said that I needed to speak with the owner. I placed a call to her and received an immediate attitude. I explained my concerns for not only my party but her employees leaving there after 5. I was also concerned about parking. She told me the borough always calls a snow emergency. It was fine, park in the garage. I asked if we could reschedule. She was open to that but I was expected to pay for this party in full. I had signed a contract. I stated that I was not doing that. Weather was no fault of hers or mine. We need to work together. She was silent. I suggested we split her cost of food and preparation. She drop the food off at a shelter so that it did not go to waste. I would start over and reschedule my party with her. She would not hear of this. The shelter would not take her cooked food. She would forgive the room charge and gratuity. I was expected to pay full price (40) for each meal and come pick it up. Other option was to be there at 12:30. It was 11:40. No way to contact 22 people and have them there in 50 minutes when many live an hour away. I had asked on Friday if the time could be moved up. It could not as she had over 80 reservations. Clearly she had lots of cancelations. As it stands now she has my deposit. The Borough of West Chester posted that all garages were full around 1 PM. My party was scheduled for 2:30. No garage or street parking would have been available. See attached photo. Look at the time stamps.
