Quick stop for a quick pick-me-up…read more I've always known about this place and actually came here for a Christmas-themed sample party with my friend Maria back in winter of 2024 but knew I would need to come back and visit it properly. Finally came that time on a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon. I thought there was a small coffee menu from my prior visit but alas, the owner only makes brewed coffee by request. Emily and I both needed some caffeine so we requested a cup of their normal coffee, despite being offered a flavored one to pick from, too. The owner was super nice and friendly while we sat there and waited for the coffee to brew. We got our coffee and were offered free refills, which we took her up on before leaving. We decided to sit there for a bit to let the caffeine hit before we hit the town for some antiquing and thrifting. For it being drip coffee, it may have been the best I've had in a looong time. I put a little sugar in there and it was the perfect blend of smooth, flavor, and caffeine. They do sell syrups but I am not sure how much tweaking of drip coffee they offer, which is fine with me since I usually like my coffee black. Despite the small size of the dining area, this place is very cozy. It has the vibe and feel of someone who has been dreaming of a tea room since childhood. They have little knick knacks and various other things for sale besides coffee and a food menu. Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind popping in for a lunch sometime to see how that is. Any who, if you need a cozy little place for a cup of good coffee and possibly a good meal, Emerald Tea Room might just be that thing for ya.

The church is not currently in use but can be rented for a wedding or other event, we didn't go inside but maybe next time. When you arrive, the owner has lots of pretty hats you can wear if you want to get into the tea party mood...great idea! The dining area has a sweet "church hall" feeling & is simply decorated. The gift area features local artists work, a nice touch. As for the food, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we had! My friend is gluten intolerant & Ruth's has a comprehensive gluten-free menu as Ruth's sister has a severe allergy. Even the soup of the day (with pasta in it!) was gluten-free! Those w/ food allergies will be pleased with all of the available options. I had the beef & cheddar sandwich served on a fresh ciabatta roll w/ a horseradish infused aioli & caramelized onions. There are a half dozen or so sides & I selected broccoli salad, yummy!! I had a delicious apricot iced tea to drink. For dessert, my gluten impaired friend was tickled to be able to have chocolate chip cookies which were baked fresh for her. I enjoyed a delicious cup of strawberry soup & took home a slice of sugar cream pie, also delicious. And to top it all off?? My total was all of $12.50 before tip! We'll be back!

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!

3.5 Stars rounded up to 4.0…read more A very unique dining experience in that this is in what was once a Methodist Church that was built in 1909. There are large stained glass windows and a beautiful interior with high ceilings. The employees are all friendly and polite. The menu is constructed in 3 categories of: "Tier 1" (main entree) "Tier 2" (sides) "Tier 3" (desserts) You order what you want from each Tier for a set price of $23.50. When the server brings your order out to the table it's arranged on a tower holding 3 plates with Tier 1 being the bottom one, Tier 2 the middle one, and finally Tier 3 (your dessert) the top one. It's rather impressive I admit. I chose The Rubie Panini for my Tier 1 choice. It's corned beef, swiss & havarti cheeses with apple & red cabbage sauerkraut & a creamy house-made horseradish-roasted red pepper dressing on light rye bread. It was delicious with just right amount of horseradish to give it a nice bite! For my Tier 2, I chose the Herb Infused Tomato Bisque Soup (GF). It's a savory infusion of tomatoes & aromatic herbs blended to velvety smooth, finished with a dollop of herbed cream cheese and accompanied by a cheesy crostini on the side. Although I found this tasty it was not hot - only mildly warm which was disappointing. For my Tier 3, I chose the Black Forest Pavlova (GF). It's baked meringue with dark chocolate pot de crème and brandied cherry sauce. It was quite sweet and delicious!! To drink I ordered coffee, black (tyvm). It was hot and very good and served in a very nice china cup. Sadly our server didn't come back around to check on our drinks so 3 out of our party of 4 never received a coffee refill until we had finished our first 2 Tiers and was well into our desserts. When she did finally come back with the coffee pot it only had about a quarter of coffee left in it. I ended up with only about a third of a cup (from the bottom of the pot). She said she would come right back with a fresh pot but by the time she did, everyone was finished with their dessert. A good experience with just some minor things that kept it from being a 5 star review. Hours are 11am - 2pm Tuesdays through Saturdays, closed on Sundays and Mondays. Reservations are suggested.

I would say definitely check this place out if you want a cute brunch experience! Being in an old…read morechurch building with beautiful high ceilings and stained glass windows, you couldn't ask for a prettier building. The server was very friendly and the food was well-priced, but I had to knock off a star for a few things. First of all, of the four desserts on the menu, two were sold out and the dining room was only half full at lunch, so, I'm not sure what happened there. Secondly, for a tearoom, the tea was just standard teabags in normal flavors. I guess I would've liked a little variety there. Third, the food was just fine. I ordered a sandwich which was just a BLT with pepper mayo, I think, but it wasn't that exciting. The potatoes were good for a side, though! Anyway, like I said, the atmosphere was my favorite part!

There's so much to look at everywhere you turn, it's easy to lose track of time just taking it all in. I loved all the little details, like the spools of thread on the light fixtures and the bed headboard used as a railing. The mix of antiques, vintage cloth, and bright, colorful decor makes the whole space feel fun, classic, and full of charm. The food was amazing. The pastries were so soft and delicious--they really do melt in your mouth. The main entrées were just as good--full of flavor and perfectly portioned, leaving you satisfied without feeling too full. The tea was served so nicely and made the whole experience feel extra special. The service was just as great. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and quick. They knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and were happy to help with any special requests. Overall, it's a beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy good food and tea. Definitely a five-star experience!
