The Spicery In Our 1895 Home

This restaurant is loaded with country charm. The Royal Tea offered a nice variety of tea selections and for the most part the meal.courses were plentiful. Everyone in our party was allowed to make our own tea selection, and a second pot or a new selection was provided upon request. The courses included mini-sandwiches and quiche, creamy chicken soup which was light and flavorful, Heritage salad which was loaded with fresh strawberries and candied nuts, light and tasty buttermilk scones and the shortbread, and specialty cookies. If I offered a suggestion, it would be to provide a larger portion of chantilly cream, lemon curd, and apple butter. In our group of 6, there was only enough for each of us to have a taste, not nearly enough for 6 scones. However, the food was plentiful and by the time the cookies arrived, we each boxed them and took them home with us. This restaurant also provides vegan and gluten free options which was a plus for some in our group.

WONDERFUL little GEM! Has not disappointed in the many years we've patronized this delightful little place! Had not been there in maybe 2 decades and it was STILL fantastic. Absolutely charming, quaint little Victorian house-turned-Tea House/Lunchery. Hand-painted floral, rim-gilded China tea cups, Granny's lace galore, adorable ceramic knick-knacks, very nice people, and best of all, GREAT FOOD. Quiche is always a winner, as are the made-from-scratch giant, fluffy rolls with real butter. (Not for the gluten-fearful! lol) They also have wonderful desserts such as bread pudding and cherry cream cheese pie. The have tea parties with all the trimmings--scones with cream, dainty finger sandwiches, pastries, floral tea pots. (I celebrated my birthday with a tea party many years ago and can't wait to have afternoon tea there again.) The setting is the idyllic home your fantasy great-great- grandmother owned, where she grew vegetables and herbs in her garden, did needlework, and baked homemade goodies from scratch in her frilly lace-trimmed apron. Go see Granny! Immediately. YUM
