apple cake tea room

delightful!. i've been taking my daughters to the tea room since 1994. whenever they had a day off school orgoodreport card, we went. during college breaks, we went. now, years later, we always find time to eat here when visiting our old hometown. we always order the tea room medley & spice tea & get more muffins to take home for breakfast. lots of wonderful memories for us. you won't be disappointed! love the crepe dessert too.

worst experience i've had. .the food was ok. .but they do not like for you to bring babies. ..never offered a high chair. ..told us we couldn't place the car seat on a chair and pull it close enough to feed the baby. because it's so small and it would interfere with the next table. my daughter really wanted us to have a nice lunch today before our shopping trip. ..the baby was sogoodnever made a sound while we were there. ..we feed thebaby stretching acoss the table and my daughter lost her appetite and didn't even eat. .our bill was almost 30 bucks for a scoop of tuna and chips. ....i would not recommended this place to anyone with kids. it ruined our day out.

bad service even before i went. i contacted this restaurant because i wanted to hold a tea for my red hat group. i had been told by others that the food wasgoodand the location wasgoodfor us as a group. i called to see if a group of 18 could be accommodated and was told yes and that i would be mailed a menu and group pricing options since they have no web-site and the person i spoke with did not want to take the time to tell me over the phone (i called about 2:20 since they close at 2:30. i thought they would be less busy at this time but perhaps she just wanted to go home.). i have waited over a week and still received nothing. as our event date is approaching, i will be making reservations elsewhere.

no soup for you? here, that's agoodthing!. i ordered the french onion soup as my meal and it was just short of swill. a tasteless brown broth with a few limp onions floating around maybe three croutons. there usually present cheese, at least in every other french onion soup that i have ever had in the many other states to which i have travelled, was absent. my table mates, most of whom are more accustomed to dining than i, were equally as disappointed.

to make matters worse, as i checked out, the short, blonde women who was assisting the cashier made a rude comment quite loudly about my leaving the coinage to add to the already prearranged 20% tip that was set as we were greater than a party of 8. granted, it wasn't a great amount, however, anything over 20% is extra and comments, rude or otherwise, made by staff should be kept to oneself and, most certainly not made in front of customers.

i will not return. i found the menu pricey, the soup inedible, and the service (at least the lasting memory), distasteful.

apple cake. i love their apple cake. i have made apple cake but the cake they serve you can't find any apples. i don't understand that. it is great. maybe some of you realgoodcooks can explain that to me. :-)

not going, ever!. i searched this restaurant after hearing the name and thinking it sounded like a nice place to go for lunch. after reading about the lack of common courtesy and consideration on the part of this owner and her employees, i will not be going after all. i am honestly appalled to read that a business owner is so unappreciative of customers to go to the extent of charging parents for their children just to be in her restaurant even if they do not order food because they might make a mess and to show no concern for a customer who has fallen. there are plenty of othergoodrestaurants in town, we will not be going to this one.

small portions for too much. took a friend there for her birthday. i had been before one time and thought i would try again. it's a quaint place and i like the atmosphere although at busy times it gets a bit noisy. mostly women. haha. we both ordered the chicken salad with the banana bread, fruit and chips. the chicken salad is a small ice cream scoop portion on a piece of the lettuce. the banana bread are two tiny mice sized pieces. the chips are a handful which i felt did'nt compliment the meal. the fruit was a decent bowl size and delicious. the chicken salad isgoodbut i've had better. it is pulverized chicken with no grapes, or celery in it. nothing identifiable in it but chicken. and a tiny sprinkle of pecan chips on top. the price was $8.75. the friendship tea they serve cold or hot. i got cold. it was served in a skinny glass and seemed to need more sweetener. it was $2.50 with free refills. the service was friendly. parking was at a premium at peak noon time. the pineapple and chicken salad with grapes looked like a better option as i saw as they passed by with them for other customers.

i am very picky, the ck salad is great! the bananna bread is reallygoodalso. i have always just had carry out, so not sure on the service while eating there. carry out isgoodthough

love, love, love this place. i love to see long standing family owned businesses. i know times are tough for small businesses, and i credit the wonderful food and delightful atmosphere for the continuation of this wonderful restaurant. congrats on lasting this long, andgoodluck for many more years to come!
