I had a milestone birthday coming up and I wanted to do something special. I love going out for…read moreafternoon tea, but I have quite a few vintage teacups and saucers of my own and decided instead to have a small tea party at my house instead. I had done this in the past, but it was so much work - getting all of the ingredients, making the sandwiches, cut the crusts, etc., and I certainly didn't want to do that for my birthday. I searched online and found Yellow Rose Tea caterers, and it sounded like exactly what I wanted - someone to come to my house, set everything up, serve tea, and then clean everything up afterwards! I contacted Sarah at Yellow Rose Tea, and she responded back right away and answered all of my questions. She then provided a quote, and I chose an available date. There are several tea packages available, depending on if you just want tea, sweets, and scones, or a more substantial luncheon tea. I ended up choosing the Afternoon Tea experience which included salad and soup in addition to the traditional 3-tiered tea tray and scones. After I paid my deposit, Sarah worked with me on the menu for my tea. They have so many choices for each item - sandwiches, scones, soups, salad dressings, sweets - but it was a lot of fun choosing the items. Sarah also reconfirmed that I wanted to use my tea sets, because they have everything for the tea party if you don't - teacups, saucers, silverware, linens, dishes, etc. They also need access to a full kitchen, so they can set up everything. Sarah contacted me regularly and answered any questions I had as well leading up to the event date. Exactly at the appointed time, about 90 minutes before my tea party, Sarah and her sister (Rebecca the pastry chef) showed up wearing cute floral aprons and then unpacked the tea in my kitchen. When I say they brought everything, they really brought everything. They brought their own dish soap to clean the dishes, and tea towels, and gallons of water and ice, and all the dishes. I didn't have to do a thing. They set the table for tea, and it looked stunning. In fact, when I posted pictures afterwards, one of my friends asked what restaurant I was at, that's how amazing it looked. My friends started to arrive, and everyone was very impressed with the table as well. As each Guest sat down, Sarah or Rebecca came out of the kitchen and asked them what tea they would like from a very large selection of Tea Forte pyramid steep flavors and then each person got their own pot of tea. Throughout the party, the Yellow Rose Tea team kept my Guests filled up with tea, replacing tea bags, recommending new ones, and topping off hot water in the pots, and rinsing them out if a different type of tea was requested. From the first course of fresh salads with two types of dressings, to the yummy potato leek soup, to the cranberry orange scones with clotted cream and two types of jam, to the 3-tiered trays filled with sandwiches, pastries, muffins, and sweets, all the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The team timed everything and would serve the courses and then take everything away when we completed that course. It was like being a guest in my own home. Also, I clearly ordered too much food, so there were quite a few sweet items left on the top tier of the trays, and the team offered carryout boxes so everyone could take their leftovers home! As my friends kept saying, the Yellow Rose Tea team thought of everything. As my friends started to leave, the team cleaned up all the dishes and even cleaned my teacups and left my kitchen exactly how it had been. I can't say enough about how wonderful an experience this was. Sarah and Rebecca did a fantastic job, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

Please arrive early so that you'll have ample time to find parking and walk to the venue incase you're not lucky enough to find close parking. When our party of five entered, we just milled around for a bit in front of the door until a hostess greeted us. It was a bit awkward, especially since there is no waiting area. Soon, we were warmly greeted and seated. Our hostess began giving us information but we couldn't hear her because her voice was soft and there are many people enjoying conversations at their own table. The noise level is medium, which is fine. I just wish she would have spoken up. You will not know the ingredients of the items that you will be served before-hand which could potentially be bad for those with allergies. When were served our tier of food, there was an insect in our food. I was shocked when the hostess began using her fingers in the food to try and fish out the rapidly moving insect. I quietly suggested that she bring us a fresh tier of food. I guess she was just following her first instinct to "get the bug". A fresh tier of food was brought, but honestly, the scones tasted stale. The bread on the finger sandwiches wasn't very fresh either. Some of the desserts had a strong artificial taste. Overall, the food was surprisingly underwhelming, and some offerings were tasteless and not very fresh. I received the wrong tea and it took a long time to get that corrected. We were instructed to turn our teapot lid over if we wanted more tea, but it seemed to be a futile effort since no one was coming to check on us. I literally had to raise my hand to get attention for our party of 5 on multiple occasions. The table decor was beautiful and thoughtful. There were a good variety of teas offered. I don't think I'll return.

5 Stars for a beautifully curated gift and decor shop, private event space, and design studio!…read more I've walked by Eyre a few times, but finally made it in today and left with some goodies! The shop is gorgeous and has everything from hand-painted Moroccan tea glassware, to home decor, to bar accessories, to children's gifts, to a "Tea Room" private event space that looks straight out of a picture book. From perusing their website I see that they also offer custom home design services and that you can book the Tea Room for private events. I really appreciated seeing that along with the classics, Eyre features local children's book authors (including Zoey's Adventures to the Ice Cream Shop, a personal fave!). They also had some caps and sweaters with ORL or WP embroidery. Finally, the giant woven light fixture shades are reminding me of Bali in all the best ways! I got to chat with the owner, Kelly, as I checked out and she was a pleasure! Great little shop that has something for everyone! (Including the Everlasting Candles - a perfect gift for your difficult to shop for friend!)

Seriously, there is a bottle for any taste in this place. The food is also fresh prepared and amazing. We weren't too hungry so decided to grab a charcuterie board to pair with our wine.

I located a new bird to me, the gila woodpecker! The house museum tour is full of local Florida history and the house is beautiful with many interesting details like the children's back stairs and the bathrooms have original tiles and fixtures! The bathrooms are accessible, clean and well stocked with supplies. The map gives a clear idea of where you want to wander to and where you might want to stop to take in nature.

I really love rooibos and oolong, and they had pretty long lists on their menu. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I noticed the little "TEA" sign in a small shopping center near my house and decided to check it out. The teas are great, and they sell it by the ounce, have prepackaged gifts, lots of fun trinkets, and you can smell all the teas and then even order a cup or two and sit there and drink it. They also have a little sample station with a tea of the day, and sugars and whatnot to put in your hot cup of tea. It's right off of 436, between Winter Park and Casselberry, so super convenient for me. I've already told several friends about it. Highly recommend!

The store also offers quite a bit of tea accoutrements such as strainers, cool mugs, and everything tea. These items are fairly priced and a higher quality than I see in other locations.

Saw some Christmas and Easter candies, which were kind of off putting considering it's June. Decided on a Bottle of Butterscotch Soda because we thought it would taste like Butter Beer (It did). None of this is bad in comparison to the attitude of the guy working. He was very short with us and rude. I understand if you might be having a bad day, but "You're welcome" when someone says thank you or an acknowledgement of anything said would have been nice. All we were greeted with were grunts. No wonder the place was empty.
