The
Garden Angel Tea Room, Blandon, PA
Visited:
September, 2004. Reviewed: September, 2004.
Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Teabags. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Poor. Food: Fair. Service: Fair. Appearance:
Good.
Comments: After traveling ninety minutes to the tea
room, my two friends and I were very disappointed. The building and
grounds were lovely, the parking lot odd and confusing, the "hot
tea" was lukewarm, the "iced tea" was warm, served with
no ice in the glass. Tea was made with one teabag (paper tag still
attached) tossed in a pot of lukewarm water. A lot of the china was
chipped and cracked and the metallic decorative trim on the flatware
was peeling off. The scone was cold and the tea sandwiches and
desserts were just so-so. The service was adequate but could have been
a bit friendlier, especially since we did not make any of the above
complaints while at the tea room as we were trying our best to have a
pleasant afternoon.

Comments: I have been visiting The Garden Angel since
its opening and am always very impressed. Whenever I need to enjoy
life's elegance I know where to turn with a few girlfriends! The lunch
is very worthwhile for the price. There is always plenty of food to
enjoy. The tea sandwiches are a favorite of mine, although the crab
quiche is fabulous as well. The service is a bit slow but I expect it,
so it doesn't bother me anymore. My 21st birthday tea was held there
and it was the best girl party I ever had. I have also been there for
high [sic] tea. There are usually less people there for high [sic]
tea, so I like to take friends that I haven't seen in a while so we
can catch up without interruptions!

Comments: To all who enjoy and take time for tea. I can not say
enough about how wonderful the tea service was at Over Thé Teacup in
Camp Hill, PA. During my recent visit the hostess, Janet Young, was
gracious, and a welcoming delight in this very busy world we live in.
The tea cakes and sweets that were served were imaginative and hearty,
also served was a wonderful strawberry soup which was one of the many
extras not expected with a tea. The table was beautifully appointed
keeping in character with the quaintness of a small English cottage. Ms.
Young has been in business for five years and has extensive experience
as a tea and etiquette consultant. A visit to Over Thé Teacup is a
definite must for those who take time to visit with friends.

Comments: I went to this tea room
with one other lady for a special Christmas tea. We were expecting quite
a showing as the event cost $30. We were very disappointed in the food
and its presentation. Our "meal" began with a round Carr's
cracker and some jam and cream cheese on a paper plate. I really was not
expecting a paper plate at all. A plate of small finger foods was
served. They seemed to me to be the type you get from the freezer
section of a warehouse store that sells items in bulk. None were
remarkable. Some were even unidentifiable. Dessert was even a bigger
disappointment. In a twist of coincidence, we had just had a
store-bought cake at an office party. It was okay for a store-bought
cake, but I was shocked when it showed up in front of me cut into a tiny
slice on a white doily. This was so not worth the money. While the tea
was very good, no cream was served with it. No lumps of sugar, either
... just the commercial looking packets. One
perk of the tea was going on a trolley ride in a bus that looked like a
trolley. I don't know if that is what made the tea so expensive or not,
but that was definitely no fun. It was hot and steamy in there and
lasted way too long. I was practically sick by the time I got back to
the tea room. From the grumpiness of others, I perceived this to be a
common ailment. The lady owner was very, very nice, but the food was
terrible. I do not plan to go back and I've shared this info with my
friends.

Tea: Excellent. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: Attention to detail is obvious as you enjoy afternoon
tea in this cozy cottage. We were seated in the front room (there are
several little rooms) which featured four tables with white high backed
chairs. The tables were covered with cloth and lace toppers. The place
setting had a teacup with a little hankie tucked in the handle to be
used as your napkin. Clever. The menu consisted of a small dish of
spinach greens, strawberries, and creamy poppy seed dressing. Homemade
lemonade with a sugar frosted rim complemented the salad. After the
salad was completed, a medley of sandwiches arrived on a doily covered
pedestaled cake plate. The variety of sandwiches was a sight to see. It
included open face lavender chicken on thin baguette slices, open face
thinly sliced seasoned cucumber sandwich on party brown bread, open face
cheese and carrot mixed with mayo on a large brown bread circle topped
with an olive slice, and a cornucopia shaped white bread spread with a
cream cheese and apricot jam with almond slivers. Each guest was
provided two each of the above sandwiches. A pot of perfectly brewed
mango and passion fruit tea was served with the sandwiches.
A triangular toasted scone was served on individual plates with a small
dollop of cream and raisin chutney. Dessert was served on a blue plate
topped with a white doily and included an individual round pineapple
upside down cake and the tiniest chocolate dipped ice cream cone. Kiwi
& Strawberry tea was served with dessert.
Afternoon tea was $14.95 per person plus tax and gratuity. This is an
enjoyable tea room that provides a break from the hustle and bustle of
daily activities.

Comments: This was my second visit to Uniquely Yours Tea Room. The first visit was with my husband. Yes, he
loves tea and it was his suggestion to visit for lunch. Harriett made both of us feel welcomed and comfortable.
The food was delicious and the service just the right balance between attentive and not hovering. So when I
wanted a special going away gift for a friend who is moving to Oklahoma, I thought of tea at Uniquely Yours. Three of
us went on a dreary Friday afternoon. The beautiful interior, warm service and delicious food soon had all of us fed in
body and spirit. I love the large selection of loose tea in jars so you can smell them and pick out the one you want to
have brewed. Sherry 2/8/2008

Comments: I wish I could say how much I like this place.
Unfortunately the room was very warm, not so great in January, when you
have to go back out into the cold. I got a black tea and the water
wasn't hot enough (I don't know if they fully boiled it) so it tasted
somewhat flat. Sandwiches were okay but tasted like they'd been sitting
in the refrigerator for a day or two, flavor a little faded, bread a
little soggy, didn't seem freshly made. The staff were very nice, and my
companions seemed to be enjoying themselves so much that I didn't want
to make a fuss. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, maybe we got
there on a bad day. Next time I'm in the area maybe I'll try again and
hope it's better.
Would you go back? Maybe.

Huge, delicious, warm scones (choice of plain or raisin) were served

Individual two-cup teapots are presented on a doily covered pewter tray.
Large chunks of natural sugar are provided as sweetener. This was a very

frittata, a quiche, and a refreshing fruit salad. The frittata was made
with chicken and cheese, and the quiche of the day was an unusual
combination of chicken with sweet red peppers. Marvelous! The service

sandwiches were disappointing and skimpy for what you paid. Scones were good as was the homemade curd but
jam was Smuckers served in a restaurant package as was the whipped butter. I expect a better
presentation at a tearoom than from the local diner. Plates sat on table for a
long time waiting to be cleared. They really need better and more experienced staff.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments: Simpson House Tea Room is in a renovated
historic home in the Village of Eagle, Chester Springs, PA. Four of us meet for lunch, I had the Tea Party, which
included a cup of soup, a pot of tea, three tea sandwiches and dessert. The Cream of Broccoli soup was perfct with
just a hint of cheddar cheese. The English Evening tea was full flavored and perfect for the day. I selected the Black
Forest Strudel for dessert. A perfect lunch. One friend had the quiche, and the two others the Tea Sandwich
assortment which are six tea sandwiches. All had the soup. The Simpson House is graced with tall
windows and has a light airy feel. The service was attentive but not over bearing.
Kathy and Karen operate another tea room which we frequent, Simpson House exceded our expectations. Just a
lovely place to meet friends for lunch or tea or Sunday brunch in a historic village. Easy access to PA
Turnpike, Rte. 113.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Visited:
May, 2003
Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Teabags. Served: In a teacup.
Tea: Good. Food: Good. Service: Good. Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: Tea
was served with the following:
a) a mini croissant filled with roast beef, mayo, and pickled onions
b) mini cheesecakes
c) mini cakes
d) strawberries
e) cream tarts
f) scones
Everything was delicious except the scones, which were a disappointment
as they were stale. Several of the other patrons left theirs untouched
but for a bite or two, as did we.
We had Harney & Sons' chamomile tea, which was excellent, but I
would have enjoyed a bigger tea selection.

Comments: I wanted to give my

holidays. They joined my sister and me for tea at The Olde Cloverleaf
Village. The food was delicious and certainly adequate. We were filled
to the gills when we left. The lovely Victorian room was festive in its
holiday greens. A lady was providing holiday tunes on her flute as we
were served our treats. My nieces and sister were delighted with our
afternoon tea ...
I
was too. It looked so inviting and we found every bite delectable. We
hope to go again soon. We wish it could be more often than just once a

Comments: While we fully enjoyed the food we felt that being

group "Unlike other tea rooms I make everything from scratch" I have probably been to each tea room within a
150 mile radius and have found that 98% of the tea rooms make their food from
scratch. The owner also made some other not so nice remarks when referring to the other tea rooms in the area. Sorry as a

comments.

Comments: This Afternoon Tea/Special 'Secret' Birthday Gift to my Mother was a most
pleasant and relaxing "Ladies Day!" We all came to The Eternity Tea Room in a van
my Father made ready for the trip, just so all the ladies could ride together in
comfort and companionship. The drive to The Eternity Tea Room was so breathtaking
and there were magnificent views of the mountains as we ventured closer
toward The Eternity Tea Room. This is something all six of us have dreamed of doing in our
lifetime - attending a tea, and now our dreams have been realized! How lovely to
enjoy it with those we hold most dear to our hearts, our family. We had my Mother,
two dear Aunts, my Mother's Best Friend, who my sister and I call our "Aunt", and
Mom's two daughters - my sister and I. We enjoyed wearing hats, chatting, drinking
tea, laughing and listening to the Teacup story read by my Aunt which was found at
our table. The food was cheesy, savory, creamy and soothing, sweet and
fresh, and warming to the palate, tasty and delightful (I think the word would be scrummy
(scrumptious and yummy all together!), and beautifully presented! The Eternity Tea
Room smelled heavenly! While we sat for hours tasting each other's freshly brewed
pots of tea, and dining on the beautiful presentation of food before us. In the
background, while we visiting and shared in each other’s company, The
Eternity Tea Room was filled with the most charming harp music playing to delight our ears. The
hostess was so welcoming, we felt like family. More could be said, but you
must come and see, taste and enjoy it for yourself. Please come, sit a while - and you
will leave The Eternity Tea Room feeling as we did - alive with joy and peace and so
full-filled! We will come back again soon to enjoy The Eternity Tea Room!

Would you go back? Hope so, but we don't live nearby.

Comments: I visited Aunt Pittypat's Tea Room during
"Remembrance Day" weekend in Gettysburg. This is the
anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. The Theme Tea was called
"An 1863 Mourning Tea". We had an absolutely wonderful and
educational time learning about the customs and mourning rituals of
the 1860's. The speaker was dressed in the black mourning dress,
typical of the period and spoke in first person. The Tea room was
decorated like her parlour would have been in her home and we
learned about the proper colors one would wear while in mourning,
how long they were worn, as well as the jewelry and customs. The
food and service was excellent. I highly recommend the "Theme
Teas" at Aunt Pittypat's Tea Room. They are not only
educational but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is very
soothing as well. I wore my own period dress and had no trouble
getting around without worrying about knocking something over. I
plan to make it a yearly event.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Comments: Aunt Pitty's is a joyous and calming place to
have tea. Its garden setting is very relaxing. I enjoyed Tracy's
converstation as well as the White Tea with the scone and the best
clotted cream I ever tasted. I like to get dressed in 19th century
dress and Aunt Pitty's is spacious enough that even my hoop does not
get in the way of the other tables. Everything there I have found to
be excellent. I love going to different team rooms for the
atmoshpere. Aunt Pitty's is the best in Gettysbur. This is one thing
all women should do. It is our biological right and has been in the
past, present and forever more.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Gilbertsville Tearoom, Gilbertsville, PA
Visited:
March, 2008. Meal: A good cuppa. Type of tea served: Iced tea. Served: Chilled in a glass.
Tea: Excellent. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: During one of the colder months in February, I ventured out
into the chilly winter. I visited the tearoom on a saturday early afternoon
and chose the iced tea. Not being a warm tea drinker (sensitive teeth),
it was just what the doctor ordered. Patty was her cheerful self and made my visit enjoyable. The scones were fabulous. Never
disappointed. Am looking forward to more iced tea after summer solstice.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!
