The Boston Creme pie was scrumptious! with a dark chocolate generously drizzled on top. The potato salad was the best I've ever tasted. The amazing decorations including the multitude of chandeliers & brilliant color schemes must be seen to be believed. Negative: Server would disappear for 15 or 20 minutes after bringing water; then disappear for another 15 minutes after bringing coffee; ditto for serving the meal which arrived one hour & 15 minutes after we sat down at our table at 11 am; same for dessert--it took 20 minutes after we finished the main course for the server to return & bring our checks. We only had six people in our own fabulous pink room. There were only 5 or 6 people out front so why did it take 3 hours to be served our lunch & to leave from the time we arrived at 11 am & didn't get to leave until 1:30 pm. Three hours to get our meal & eat was an incredibly long period of time. It was freezing in there--the room temperature was zero.

The first trip we took my husband's cousin and wife as they were visiting from out of town and everyone was in love with our seats out on the porch. There was a fan going and the temperature was perfect! Everyone's steak was cooked perfectly and sides were unique and yummy! Our second trip was with our daughter and was the last evening they were open for the season. Again everyone's food was perfect and the waitress surprised us with a round of cheesecake at the end of our meal as we were her last table for the year. She even brought out all of the sauces and drizzled them on table side. What a way to make us feel special. Can't wait for next year!

Waited and waited again for the waitress to come back with menus. Tea selection at this TEA ROOM didn't even offer English tea, just cheap bags of artificially flavored tea. Teacups were brought out without saucers (so where would I put my used tea bag?). The chicken salad was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. boiled to death to a paste consistency, terrible texture unless you enjoy cat food. Over seasoned with herbs to disguise the Purina pate flavor. But I did get a HUGE pile of cheap potato chips and yesterday's croissant. My mother ordered the chicken Florentine soup. Ha. The broth was actually very good, but the same shredded, mushy chicken bits plus instant rice and a couple of whole spinach leaves thrown in did not come together for a pleasing soup. The spinach 4 cheese quiche was tasteless with just an ok crust. I took two bites of my chicken salad sandwich and realized I just couldn't stomach it. I was hoping to make another selection but the waitress never came back to the table. Ever. We decided to just leave so we stood by the kitchen doors for approximately 8-10 minutes until the waitress finally made an appearance. She asked "Was everything ok?" I told her" no. The chicken was inedible. I left nearly the entire dish." She turned towards the cash register and curtly said "Sorry to hear that" and without looking up continued to run the bill. Then the snotty "Have a Nice Day" topped it off. NEVER AGAIN

It seems to be part bakery where you can order beautiful wedding and special occasion cakes, part tea room where you can sit down for lunch, and then there's an entire area that gave me Hallmark gift shop vibes. I didn't get a chance to explore that section, but it looked super cute. Chrissy was my server, and I think there may have only been one other server working during the lunch rush, but she was turning and burning and doing a wonderful job. I ordered the crab Rangoon soup of the day and a chicken salad sandwich with extra onions, plain kettle chips, and their mango unsweetened tea. That tea was DELICIOUS, and I don't even like tea! The chicken salad sandwich on the croissant was delicious too, and honestly I was being greedy because I wanted to try even more stuff. They also brought out the cutest little complimentary sweet that reminded me of an Italian wedding cake cookie without the actual cookie part, almost like a little bite of icing, and it was delicious. The crab Rangoon soup was probably the only thing that didn't quite hit the mark for me. I finished it and it was perfectly fine, but I don't know why I didn't realize "crab" in crab Rangoon soup in Springfield, Missouri was probably going to mean imitation crab. I was also expecting a creamier broth with more of that sweet-savory, cream cheese and chive flavor I associate with crab Rangoon. This was a thinner creamy broth and tasted more like an imitation crab chowder to me. I'd give the soup itself about 3.5/5 because it was actually a pretty good imitation crab chowder, it just didn't taste like crab Rangoon to me. Before I left, I grabbed an ooey gooey butter pecan cookie and a chocolate chip cookie to go because there was absolutely no way I was walking past that bakery case twice and leaving empty-handed. Overall, such a charming little find and exactly the kind of locally owned lunch spot I love stumbling across when I'm traveling for work. I'd definitely come back!

Service from the lady today....was beyond horrible. 5 of us ordering sandwiches and desert - hoe long were we here? 2 1/2 hrs. It was terrible and this lady was beyond terrible. B.

If I'm honest: If you want a tea room option, that gives you great food, tremendous deserts and at a real value: Spring Creek tea room in Ozark. A second option, that costs a little, but the food and deserts are awesome: Beth's Bake Shop in Spfd.

The soup was delicious on this rainy morning! My husband ate half his sandwich immediately and then saved the rest at lunch time.
