Give yourself time to find parking on Main St. or nearby. We ordered Queen Mums which we enjoyed with our own pots of tea.. the meal was so filling! Salads were fresh, sandwiches had a good variety, scones were soft. It's a leisurely lunch which was really appreciated. No rushing the food or us to leave. We ordered birthday cake and vanilla almond teas, and were very happy with our choices. Overall enjoyed the day at McKenna's Tea Cottage! We are looking forward to going back.

To say this establishment was overpriced is an understatement. This place markets itself like some…read moreelegant, cozy, English tea experience when in reality it looks like the inside of a dying hoarder grandma's house. The carpets and walls are "rustic" if you're being generous, but honestly they looked cigarette-stained and filthy. The service was atrocious too. It took nearly THIRTY MINUTES just to get tea. Tea. Not a five-course meal. Then we waited OVER AN HOUR for finger sandwiches that tasted like cafeteria scraps. Most of the food was genuinely awful. The only remotely edible items were the tomato soup, cucumber/egg sandwich, and chicken quiche -- except the quiche wasn't even included and cost an extra $22, which is insane for a place already charging premium prices for mediocrity. The "egg sandwich" was basically stale yellow bread with microscopic traces of egg. And whoever decided HAM AND BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE belonged in a finger sandwich needs to be fired immediately. Even the table decor looked terrible. Every table had random mismatched pieces from different sets instead of a cohesive theme, so the whole place just felt cluttered, lazy, and disorganized. Nothing about this experience felt charming or intentional. I waited over an hour to eat garbage in a room that smelled like dust and neglect. Absolutely do not recommend. I wasn't paying, but the experience costed over $100 (including $60 from a groupon).

They have a nice selection of pots! What's nice is you can also have your tea over ice. They also offer other cold drinks such as Arnold Palmer! On these warm days some to prefer ice drinks! They have a nice selections of teas including herbal ones. I ordered my tea hot, tea of the month London Fog, definitely a great pick! My one friend ordered Peach iced, it was served in a pot with a large cup ir ice (and a second cup of ice). My other friend ordered an Arnold Palmer. Leone, our excellent server, checked on us a few times for refills. Nice relaxing atmosphere and definitely feel like you can take your time, and you need it with all the delectable bites! The decor is absolute lovely, including the bathroom! The food was excellent. Tea sandwiches all great with the chicken salad being our favorite! Scones, I ordered my favorite Cheese and Chive and a new one, Lemon Lavendar. I had the lemon curd with this one, so good. My friends had a few of the others too. Definitely the highlight of the bites. So much so, my friend ordered more to go as a bday treat (now in my freezer). The sweet bites were very good too. A cupcake that had a mango frosting with chili, yes chili, unexpected heat but quite yummy! Leone figured out it was my birthday and brought out the cutest birthday treat! A cupcake inside a cute "birthday" tea cup! Very nice surprise! Our server was Leone, so sweet and provided exceptional service!

We were served five different types of tea sandwiches, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The scones were incredible, especially the lavender lemon scone. It was perfectly baked and topped with the sweetest, most delicious frosting--it was definitely a highlight of the meal! The teas were equally impressive, with a wonderful selection that paired perfectly with the food. To top it all off, the service was exceptional. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. You're also invited to choose your own teapot & hat to wear. If you're looking for a beautiful spot for afternoon tea with amazing food, delicious tea, and outstanding service, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be back!

The room where they serve tea is elegant and serene. It was exactly as we'd hoped it would be for a relaxing place to have a pleasant conversation with friends over delectable food and drink. We went on a Thursday afternoon and I would suggest a midweek visit since it wasn't crowded as I suspect it would be on the weekend. We ordered the ''Spring Tea'' menu option. It was $36 pp which I thought was reasonable compared to other places I've been. It included 5 tea sandwiches, desserts, a pot of tea, and a scone with cream & jam. There was enough food to bring some home for later. The selection of teas offered was large. I opted for the Earl Grey Fancy which I quite liked. My friend ordered the Ginger Peach which she really liked too. I recommend this establishment and hope to go back before long.

I've visited Spring Tea Garden for several occasions over the years - birthday party, a bridal…read moreshower, and casual girls' day outings. Each experience was hosted in a different room, which kept things feeling unique each time. For larger events like birthday parties, the food was served buffet-style, while smaller gatherings such as the bridal shower had table service, which felt more intimate and elevated. Most tea sets include scones with cream and jam, tea sandwiches, mini desserts, and a refillable pot of tea. Portions are on the smaller side, so you'll likely leave satisfied but not overly full. The food itself is decent but not particularly memorable. The atmosphere and experience are definitely the main draw here. It's a cute spot for a girls' day or special occasion, though it is a bit pricey. The middle-tier tea service is around $36 per adult, and they also offer a Little Princess Tea for kids at $20, which includes fruit, scones, desserts, and cucumber sandwiches + PB&J. One plus is the parking as they have a good-sized lot and I've never had trouble finding a spot.

We Got seated out on the porch. Their menu is essentially a choice of your tea selection with different course levels of food and drink, or on the weekend a brunch offering. We got the Victorian which is the second most under the full course which has another drink and extra dessert. Everything about the Tea House is amazing! Absolutely everyone was dressed up for the vibe. Our tea and ate sets were all unique and ornamental. The Creamy Earl Grey was outstanding, I'm a big coffee and tea fan and this is some of the best I've had. We started with a Scone and compote, not usually a fan of scones but this was fresh. Led into soup, then salad, then our sandwiches! It's pre-set the 6 you get, but if you have a preference you can switch out and double up on your favorite. The dessert was fine, especially the Lemon Blueberry for me. We ate everything. You get 10% off purchasing take home tea from their store next door if you eat here, we got four different types. Looking forward to coming back again soon, it's going to be a thing!

She was very helpful with explaining the menu and helped me with my tea selection. The sandwich choices are selected for you which was different than any other place I've been to. I was able to advise on what I didn't like and was asked if we had any food allergies. That's always a plus! The sandwiches were good, but slightly bland. I think the egg salad sandwich could have used a little more flavor. The scone was not like a traditional scone, the consistency was more like a muffin, but still very tasty. Overall it was a nice experience, I would definitely visit again. Pricing was pretty standard for most tea houses, street parking available.
