Lisa's Tea Treasures

I’ve been to many teas from High tea at the Banff Springs hotel in Alberta, Canada to Hotel Del Coronado, San Diego to Lancaster County Lititz, Pennsylvania and in between. Here’s what I loved about this location. You have so many choices you can practically pick and choose combinations that suit your dietary needs (gluten free) to your own appetite. You can do add ons to your meal, like soup or salad , you can choose your personal dessert (we had six choices!) and each person gets their own menu selection unlike so many “set “ menu’s elsewhere. The list of teas was more than plenty from Black tea to Green teas to caffeine free. The sandwiches were full of ingredients and flavorful. Our service was excellent and provided good choice recommendations (our first visit) which were thoroughly explained. The atmosphere was perfect, they have several different tea rooms and a cute shop. We didn’t feel rushed at all. And we thought the prices for all we got was quite reasonable. Highly recommend and will be back.

This was the saddest high tea I have ever had. It is tricky to find gluten free high tea. I'm always grateful for the effort but this was a robbery. If you know gluten free bread, you know it is dry like sand. You need to add something for moisture. The cucumber - cream cheese sandwich looked like the cream cheese came from someone cleaning off their butter knife. The rest of the "sandwiches" had a similar amount of filling. Prior to this experience I had had high tea in the Seattle area. Yes, a gluten free high tea. I'm including that photo for comparison. Next time I'm in the mood for high tea, I'm driving 70 miles to Lovejoy's.
