    Double Chocolate Scone & Chocolate Chip Scone
    Andrew I.

    Great food and a gorgeous little tea room atmosphere. I've always been a fan of this place. Sip tea and eat tasty sandwiches. A bit expensive but worth it I would say. Service was super slow because they only had one waitress doing the entire restaurant. I felt so bad since she was so nice and trying her best but it was clearly too much for one person on a Friday. I hope they can help their staff out in the future by putting more people on to assist!

    Great little place for afternoon tea and kids tea. Nice selection of teas. Unlimited with the afternoon tea service. The kids loved the macaroni and cheese and Nutella sandwich. Hot chocolate milk and fruit salad. Adult tea with standard sandwich selection. Too full to eat the scone and desserts. We took them home. Lovely service from Chad. A must if you enjoy tea.

    This place is quaint clean and adorable! The grounds are very pretty and there are lots of shops to walk around before or after. Really lovely experience with plenty of choices of tea, sandwiches, salads. Great options for vegetarians as well. Just wish they served champagne but I understand it's strictly a tea house. Everyone here was very friendly but they were definitely overwhelmed and very busy. It did take a while to get more honey, napkins. Would definitely come back.

    I'm so glad I found this place! I had a great meal as a first time customer at Robinson's Tea Room with a friend First, the decor and vibe was so pleasant and something to look at on every wall. Second, we got the tea service which was worth every penny with endless tea options + 3 tiers of sandwiches, scones & desserts-there was so much food we took some home. The tea was amazing, and served a perfect temperature too. Also, the manager Linda was awesome and was honest that they were a tad short staffed but it didn't affect our experience because I had time to catch up with my friend and not feel rushed. Try this place if you're in the area

    I came for afternoon tea here with my mom and had a beyond wonderful experience! This is not only the cutest place but the experience is something everyone should have at least once in their life. First off, the ambience is incredible. The music and decor are so fitting with the theme. Our waitress Athena made our experience even better! She was so kind and explained the process to us and answered all of our questions. Robinson's is so lucky to have her. I did the tea service which they serve with fine bone china. For the tea, I tried the vanilla cupcake rooibos and apple cinnamon french toast. The cupcake one was my favorite and the best tea I've ever had in my life. I've never put creamer in my tea but it made it 10x better. I went with the roasted vegetable soup which was phenomenal and full of flavor. As for the tiers, I had a lemon coconut scone with clotted cream and jam. The jam was incredible and reminded me of the jam that's inside a rainbow cookie. I had the hummus wrap (dietary restriction) which was so flavorful and the dressing and hummus inside were great. Last but not least, the pastry assortment which was garnished with a flower. My favorite was the cupcake which had a delicious frosting. This is the perfect place for a mother daughter date, a lunch out with your girlfriends, or even an event. I cannot wait to come back!

    Came here for my birthday lunch with some family! It was such an enjoyable experience. The place itself was super cute. There were 4 of us so we got two of the high tea towers and I went with the apple cinnamon French toast tea. We each got a choice of scone then the rest was pre picked so my sister and I split an orange cranberry and cinnamon chip-they were both overcooked and hard. Then there was an assortment of sandwiches-the tuna and the cucumber ones stood out to me, I didn't love the salmon one as I found it too salty. There was also a great selection of desserts on top-macarons, strawberries, cupcakes, etc. It was a great variety and the price was not bad at all. Each time you get another tea you can switch the flavor also. You also get a choice of soup or salad to start. The soup of the day didn't sound good to me so I went with a Caesar salad. The service was not very attentive though.

    British tea service .

    Beautiful place. It is small , fyi. Great menu and lots of vegetarian options. I don't eat meat and was able to substitute the chicken salad for a different sandwich. Delish. You can get the British afternoon tea service for $45 with unlimited tea. It comes la with a salad or soup before they bring the 3 tiers plates with sandwiches, scone and desert plates. You can also order off the menu a la cart. Service was excellent. Easy parking.

    Classic Caesar

    Tea Service at Robinson's Tea Room was a delight. It is quite pricey ($45 per person) but is an amazing experience, includes unlimited tea, and is plenty of food. The ambience is unbeatable and the staff were friendly. The Classic Caesar was light and fresh. The salad had a hearty crunch and the croutons had a unique assortment of spices that I enjoyed.

    Tea sandwiches and goat cheese salad

    Tea sandwiches and goat cheese salad were amazing. The quiche had everyone raving. Robinsons tea room made my daughter's at home bridal shower come to life. Desert trays and scones were top notch. Thank you

    Such a fun and enjoyable tea experience! I made reservations (highly recommended!) for 11:30 which I thought was the perfect time! By the time we left at 1:30, the place was packed... every seat was taken! The place, although small was beautifully decorated and had both booths and tables to sit at. I enjoyed the touches of art work on the wall and the delicate china and silverware at the table. We had the choice of an ala carte menu or the afternoon tea menu for $45. The tea came with salad or soup. I chose a garden salad and it was very good. Then we were able to choose from a huge variety of unlimited tea-- decaf and black, green and herbal infusions. So many options!! And if yea isn't your thing, then you can get coffee! We were then brought a 3 tiered mountain of delicious treats and sandwiches. The top level was sweets, vanilla cake with frosting and jam and cream filling, brownies and macaroons. There was also panna cotta which wasn't my favorite. The second level was filled with savory items--- mini sandwiches-- cream cheese and cucumber, lox and dill, egg salad and tuna (which were not my favorite and I chose not to eat them after one bite). My favorite had to be the spinach and cheese quiche slice-- so delicious and hot from the oven! The bottom layer had 2 generously sized scones (you were able to choose your flavor), fresh raspberry jam and clotted cream. The waitstaff, although extremely lean was very nice and helpful. They did not kick us out and brought plenty of refills of tea-- I tried 6 different kinds! I cannot wait to go back and try this place again! I even brought and order of 6 scones home! I definitely recommend this place if you like traditional afternoon tea! You will not be sorry!

    Absolutely loved it. Took my mother here for a nice afternoon Tea . She did the whole tea sandwiches. I did the chicken Caesar wrap. Everything was delicious. The crème brûlée tea was out of this world.

    We had a very nice stay while moving our kid into Stony Brook University. This is a very convenient…read morehotel to SBU. This hotel has been renovated and has great fittings and Dove branded amenities. Gentleman who checked us in was friendly and courteous. Rooms are spacious, we took a King and sofa bed. Breakfast was nice. Cheese omelette, yogurt, bananas, cinnamon rolls, pancake machine and more plus coffee all day in the lobby. I would have given this hotel a 5 star except for these points that the management should take care before someone else has this experience. 1. TV powers on but you can't see any channels (not a biggie for one night) 2. Extra bedding for the sofa bed. It wasn't nicely packed in a bag in the room. Instead the front desk gave us a pillow, blanket and one fitted sheet. Fitted sheet was crumpled as if it had been used. We asked for newly laundered sheets and it was delivered to our room with extra sheets. Some of these sheets were not folded and crumpled. I understand that hotels have a staff shortage but clean sheets are a must for any hotel. I wonder if this is a franchise hotel where they are taking shortcuts. My message to the management is that if this is not fixed they may lose their position as the " official hotel of the SeaWolves". There's so much good in the hotel and this treatment of sheets is irritating. I mentioned this to the lady at the reception at checkout and got a very luke warm response and no apology. That shows me a lack of training and empathy.

Checked in and had no problems until I started walking to the hall leading to my room when I came across a horrid smell, I brushed it off thinking it'll be fine since I'd assume the room would be okay but when I entered in I was greeted with a extremely pungent smell. I then immediately went to the front desk to ask to change room where they then gave me a different accessible room. I went in and fortunately had no smell but some sort of gum on the wall and by then I had enough and I'd rather find an alternative hotel. I went down and asked to speak to the manager for the 3rd time and was told they wouldn't be back until the morning. I was then told by the front desk I wouldn't be able to receive a refund until the manager came back so I decided just to leave since I'd rather dump the money than to stay at a horrible hotel as this one. Hopefully I can get a refund through my credit card company. I've posted already once this is my second one but with pictures.

    I went in expecting a five star experience. My friend and I had brunch here previously and it was…read morefantastic. So ... we were on the waiting list for Schnitzels at 5 pm on a Sunday. They don't take reservations. After about 10 minutes my friend and I plus 3 teens (my kids and a friend) were starving and Schnitzels was loud and crowded. We headed a few doors down to Sweet Mama's. Seated immediately. My friend and I shared the steak with penne dinner special and a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. My daughter ordered penne with butter off the kids menu. My son got a turkey burger and his friend got a grilled chicken sandwich on a hero instead of a wrap. Now the good -- portions were huge! My son could barely fit his burger in his mouth and it also had a half avocado on it. They didn't skimp. Steak with penne was delicious and so was the Cobb salad. We all shared off each other's plates because everything looked so amazing. Now the bad. My daughter's pasta was elbows, not penne as indicated on the menu. Not a catastrophe but she was looking forward to penne. Then - my son's friend put some ketchup on his plate for his fries. It was ,.. not red but brown. The bottle had an 8/25 expiration. We are in April 2026. We told the server and she said it's because it's the "simply ketchup" with no artificial dyes. She offered him ketchup packets "with fake dyes" but by that point he lost his appetite for fries. We grabbed ketchup from another table, same brand, Heinz Simply. You can see the difference in color. We showed the server and she acted annoyed. I told her we didn't want anyone getting sick on that ketchup and pointed out the expiration date. She rolled her eyes and said "oh I'll just throw it away." She kind of had an attitude and didn't even apologize. So that's why 4 stars. We'd go back but request not to have that server. The food is fantastic but watch your ketchup! If someone put it on a burger it would have been ruined.

    Not terrible, but also not memorable…read more Sweet Mama's is a hybrid concept tucked away in the adorable Stony Brook Village. On one end, ice cream. In the middle, restaurant, and towards the back, a bar. Surprisingly at 11am, for a table of four, we waited about 10 mins for a table. We ordered a variety of things, from soup, to bennys and a mimosa flight. The mimosa flight was very cute but mine ended up tasting just like white wine. The real disappointment imo was the Belgian Waffle. Now I know, part of this is my fault, for expecting more than what the description laid out. But for $12 I got one crispy and tender waffle with powdered sugar and that was it. No side of fruit, no home fries, nothing. Everyone else enjoyed their food, which I was happy about! And service was wonderful. But for $12 for one waffle, this place may be a biiiiiiit overpriced for my liking.
