Start with a positive... the tea was perfect. We only found two options today, but they were both…read moregood. Second, maybe they had an off day because they did not realize it was Mothers Day weekend. 30 minute wait, standing at the door to be seated. Plenty of open tables in view of the front door, but the staff was clearly overwhelmed. Two teas and two sandwiches. 1 hour wait for drinks and food to arrive at the table. 90 minutes total from arrival to service. I admit Tea Houses are not "fast food" as there sign reads... However, 90 minutes total get Tea in a Tea House is way beyond reasonable. All in all it was a nice concept, I don't think we will be back. I see photos of Tea Menus in other reviews. If they existed today, they were not offered.

Sandwiches are around $6-8 and include a side item. Very filling, nice atmosphere and it's obvious the food is made FRESH and not re-heated from a box or a can. I recommend the fiesta salad. The chicken and rice soup was very good too!

The lobster bisque and lemon meringue pie were absolutely amazing!! My sandwich was also really good, but a little light on the cheese and heavy on the apple butter. My only complaint was that it took a long time to get our food. But they were very busy and the food was worth the wait! For being in the Midwest, I can't believe how good the bisque is!

Located in a mail-order Sears house form the early 1900's. Locally owned by a genteel lady who…read moreserves a nice home-made lunch. I look forward to a modest portion of delicious soup, salad, quiche, and a muffin when I get to Tuscola. (They also have teas, dessert, sandwiches) Nice diversion from the cookie-cutter chain restaurants. Feels like eating in someone's dining room. Some antiques. If you do not have a lunberjuck appetite, and you can walk up about seven steps to the porch, and if you enjoy supporting deserving samll businesses, go to the Spicery for lunch (except for monday when they are closed)

We got a full description of each of the teas in the shop and a little background on how the store experience came about. We also learned a little more about tea. We got to select 2 teas and those were brewed for us and brought out. We got a nice tower of delicious sandwiches, scones and desserts. Everything was delicious! We were stuffed and ended up taking our leftover food and tea to go. This was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. They also have fondue options. You can purchase some of the tea to take home. It's a cute shop with street parking available.

This review is difficult due to the fact that there was a mix-up with reservations made by Yelp and…read morethe establishment unaware of Yelp's reservations. WARNING! Do NOT reserve a table using Yelp at this establishment, as they claimed to have discontinued Yelp reservation services, yet the option still exists to do so. We went on Mother's Day hoping it would be a lovely surprise for my wife and mother of four girls; unfortunately, the establishment had to find a way to squeeze us into their line-up and we ended up sitting at the bar table, which still was a lovely spot to converse. I do think the unplanned reservation caused delays (more than an hour wait) to get our High Tea food items, which were very well prepared and tasty, especially the scones! We picked two teas from the vast assortment available. Unfortunately the tea was ill timed and came after we had finished all our food. Overall, I still gave this establishment 4 stars as the atmosphere and food were great. The service felt slow and under-staffed unfortunately due to the unexpected reservation but kudos to the host for still finding a way to fit us in. Thanks much!

Went to a Christmas pop up by STL Barkeep. The size of the venue is perfect for this type of event…read more More seating would've been nice. We stood for two hours. The acoustics were challenging. Our small group of five or six were literally yelling to be able to hear what another person was saying. Lots of creative Christmas themed cocktails. The food was good - just not a whole lot to choose from (two types chicken salad sandwiches on slider buns and only one hot item (potato skins). Pretty pricey too, but since entry was free I guess they had to make their money somehow. I'll be on the lookout for more events from this group!

It was mainly just a light reflecting, snowflakes all over. However, I did love that they had a coat rack as soon as you walked in. There is very minimal seating and a majority of tables are stand up tables. Were you gather around a blue table. I do wish they had more snow or something to go with the name of the pop-up, which is frozen. However, I did very much enjoy the blue lighting and the bourbon drinks. The staff was extremely friendly, and really took the time to explain the process of the smoked bourbon, which I thought was very neat.
