Stepping into the Lizze Rose house is like being a guest at the house, or a guest at a bed and…read morebreakfast. It is the perfect spot for my family to take a step back from the stresses of everyday rushed life and to transcend into the tranquility of a more noble and elegant time period. The Victorian house is beautifully adorned with dainty tea sets and table settings where I imagine Victorian women in corset dresses once sat and sipped tea, brimming with gossip. I have no idea if they ever did but the setting is perfect for this.... We came here for tea and scones and we loved everything about it. We ordered 2 teapots for the 4 of us. The tea is made with loose leaves and are very fragrant. The "Buckingham Palace", made with earl grey and hints of jasmine was my favorite. It is fragrant and the tea flavor really comes through. The "Cranberry Apples" is made with roseships and hibiscus petals. The cranberry flavor dominates, giving it a fruity, tangy flavor. The scones...deliciously soft and moist inside with the perfect crisp brown crunch on top, is exactly how I love my scones...and with lemon curd and clotted cream! Lizzie gave us an interesting history chat on the house and the 2 surrounding houses. I loved learning about the house and the story behind some of the pieces. The teapots, tea cups, paintings displayed throughout the house are all for sale. We ended up buying several teapots and teacups! There is also afternoon tea available if you reserve 24 hours in advance. If you're in the area on a Friday or Saturday afternoon, check it out!

What a lovely little spot on the Main Line! I am an afternoon tea connoisseur, so my expectations…read morewere rather high... and they were surpassed! I had been in the area for several days to tour apartments and daycares in advance of our planned move to Pennsylvania next year... so a lovely tea was my little splurge on the trip after days of drinking protein shakes on the go. I made a reservation for 10 am on Sunday, right when they opened, since I was going to go straight to the airport afterward. I was seated immediately, and everything came out pretty fast. I opted for the full afternoon tea, which comes with eight tea sandwiches, a scone with clotted cream, lemon curd, and strawberry preserves, and three assorted mini pastries, along with a pot of tea. You can choose up to four flavors for the sandwiches (so you get two of each flavor for a total of eight mini sandwiches), so I got the curried chicken salad, egg salad, cucumber and cream cheese, and cheddar cheese and chutney. Most tea places give you four sandwiches per person, so there was no way I was finishing eight of these. Thankfully, I got four of them in a to-go box and they ended up being a tasty snack on the plane. The curried chicken salad was my favorite (which they sell in their to-go containers in the gift shop), followed by the cucumber and cream cheese (the cucumbers were thinly sliced, which makes a big difference!). The egg salad was good, but a bit mild-flavored. I can't say I loved the cheddar cheese and chutney combo, so in the future I might just opt for more of the curried chicken or cucumber sandwiches instead. For the scone, I chose blueberry citrus, which was delicious! I used a very thin layer of the lemon curd, followed by the strawberry preserves and topped with the clotted cream. All of the flavors worked quite well on the scone. I wasn't blown away by the mini desserts (I can't recall exactly what flavors they were, but there was a posset that was a bit saltier than I was expecting, a blueberry cream puff, and a mini cake slice). But as I've gotten older, I've found myself more drawn to the savory aspect of afternoon teas anyway. The rest of the meal was delicious enough, and filling enough, that I honestly was never going to be able to finish everything. I was dining solo here, and I'm guessing not a lot of people do a tea for one, so I ended up chatting with 4-5 different employees here over the course of my meal. I have to say that the service here may have been the friendliest I've experienced pretty much anywhere. Everyone I spoke with was so welcoming and kind! When it came time for me to leave, they all wished me a safe trip back to Florida and said they hoped to see me again as one of their "regulars" once we move. I can already tell you, I hope that's the case too! This place is adorable, inside and out. And I love the assorted British foods available in the gift shop, along with fun kitchenware. If my suitcase hadn't already been packed to the brim, I probably would've spent more money in that shop. I'm looking forward to returning next year once I escape the Sunshine State :)

They also brought more gluten/dairy free dessert for her as well. We drove almost 2 hours and I would not be against doing it again.

Be careful since the parking lot shows up before the restaurant so be sure to turn in appropriately - assuming the place will be coming up on your right. Inside, it's pulled together like a scene from Alice in Wonderland, with little baskets of things scattered throughout for purchase. It's like having tea in a thematic gift shop. We had a timed reservation and the hosts were ready with our table when we arrived. We had also specified that we are vegetarian, so they adjusted some of the offerings to make sure they were veggie friendly. Honestly, great job not only substituting but making sure it's still a delicious dish by adding in things when other items were taken out! Everything was so delicious and the tea was stellar!

It feels like the owners have a very clear vision for what they want this tea room to be... something intentional, calm, and a little different. If you come in expecting something else, I can see how it might not match your expectations. But if you embrace it for what it is, it's truly a special place. I loved going in and smelling all the teas to pick exactly the right one... it's such a unique and thoughtful touch. The atmosphere is charming and relaxing, and the food was excellent.

I feel like I need to steep the tea longer than the recommended time, but otherwise the tea and all the food items are divine. I do find it odd serving tea on metal trays because it detracts from the sophistication of the place. And I agree with other reviewers that the rules are a bit frustrating, and the vibe is less warm because of that control and surveillance. So, actually I've been here several times and I will come back, because like I said, it's a special place and I know what I'm in for. As for the prices, they are reasonable because of the quality, and the gift shop prices are not exaggeratedly overpriced.
