Comments: This is a great place! If you just want to grab a
cup of tea, if you want light tea service with a scone and a pot, or if you want a great meal, this place is perfect! This is
without a doubt my favorite tea destination. Awesome service. The atmosphere is less Miss Marple tea house and
more Metro Zen. Very relaxing. My husband and I double date with some friends a few times a month and we usually
end up here. Yes, this place is great for the guys, too. Another thing to love a bout the Steeping Room is
the variety in the menu. Whether you want a decadent dessert, or a healthy salad with napa rolls, you
will not be disappointed. And its locally owned!!!
Would you go back? Maybe.

Comments: Visited three times; fairly good selection of teas, but served in nondescript pots and cups
showing wear; tea served already brewed -- customer has no control over brewing time; noisy, even when
fairly empty; generic urban atmosphere; food OK, but one-dimensional; service
was average -- could be more knowledgeable, attentive, special, and/or relaxed.

Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a

Tea: Excellent. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: The Adolphus Hotel offers an elegant, gracious
afternoon tea ... as one
would expect from this grand old hotel dating from 1912. Yet it
offers a couple of surprises that distinguish it from a typical
hotel tea service. First, the 3 courses are slightly different from
the norm. Instead of having the sandwiches and the scone as two
separate courses, they combine them into the first course. The
second course is the pastries, which is usually the 3rd and final
course. But at the Adolphus the final course, following the
pastries, is a separate course devoted to chocolates. As a
chocoholic, I must confess to being delighted with this additional
course. The next surprise was their pairing of different teas with
each course. I'm used to only getting one selection of tea in one
teapot. But here, I had a tropically-flavored green tea with the
sandwich and scone course; a delightful orange-jasmine blend of
China and Ceylon black teas; and ... the perfect tea with the
chocolate course ... a fabulous pear caramel tea classified as a
dessert tea consisting of another delightful blend of China black
and Ceylon teas. The hotel uses Mighty Leaf tea, just as do many of
the other fine hotels in which I've had afternoon tea. And, to
accompany this delightful repast, there is a pianist to provide
classical music from a magnificently carved and massive antique
grand piano. Finally, I must say a word about the food. At first I
was tempted to rate it as "very good." Although beautiful
and of an interesting variety, the five sandwiches and the currant
scone were not as flavorful as the fare at other fine hotels. But
then the pastries came. This is not normally my favorite course, but
at the Adolphus the pastries are fabulous. As if the five pastries
(lemon tart, chocolate éclair, mango cake, chocolate cake and
Bavarian cream tart) were not enough, the chocolate course was
melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It consisted of 2 flavorful meringue
cookies, one small square each of white and dark chocolate
monogrammed with an A for Adolphus, and a homemade chocolate truffle
with nut cream filling. What you get for your $35 ... which, by the
way, includes both valet parking and gratuity for the tea server ...
is a delicious and bountiful selection of teas and food served
graciously in a beautiful setting. Without a doubt, this is the best
tea in Dallas ... especially since Lady Primrose's has closed.
Would you go back? Hope so, but we don't live nearby.

Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf and teabags. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: FABULOUS! I attended my first British afternoon tea about 3 weeks ago in Hong Kong at The
Pegasus Hotel. I enjoyed it so much I sought out a tea experience at home. This was wonderful! Charles is an
exquisite and experienced host his recommendations and attentive service made the experience even more delightful
and enriching. Everything was first rate nice atmosphere with the harp accompaniment and the sandwiches and
pasteries were delectable. You have your choice of teas and the scones are served warm and you are allowed to
take home your unfinished desserts. I recommend having a light lunch on the day you decide to have tea because it will
be a nice fulfilling meal. The pastries are just right not too sweet. The scones are exquisite and the tea is fabulous.
We look forward to visiting Charles again soon.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Good. Food: Good. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: Tea at the St. Regis was a highly enjoyable experience. Along with the
expected touches--the elegance, the comfortable chairs and sofas, the Wedgwood
china, the harpist--we were favored with the best "tea master" I've seen
yet--Charles, who runs the tea room with an eagle's eye. In his proper morning coat
and striped trousers ("Six days a week in a tux and tails makes them feel like jeans
and a T-shirt"), he looked every bit the part, and his authoritative knowledge was
enhanced by a delightful sense of humor. He regaled us with quick stories and witty
comments that added greatly to the good food and incomparable atmosphere.
The tea is Harney and Sons; we very much enjoyed their exclusive blend and found it
to be mellow, good either with or without milk, and exquisitely balanced
(as one would expect of a Harney blend). I asked that the tea be decanted in the kitchen
before being brought, but Charles assured me that he had his own method, and that I
would like it--"Trust me!" The first cup was just a tiny bit
underbrewed, but after that, he was so quick about pouring our refills (we never did have to refill our own
cups; the man is amazing, dashing about the tearoom yet never seeming hurried) that
it never tasted stewed or overbrewed. Charles truly cares about each detail of the
tea service, and is justly proud of the pastry chefs; their products were
outstanding. The raisin scones were beautiful, though not as hot, flaky,
and fresh as they might have been. Overall, this was a delightful, very-nearly-perfect tea experience, and this space
does not allow me to list all of the things we enjoyed about it.

Comments: There was music - a Harp. It was lovely. The service was excellent. We
always had hot tea with a generous selection. This was "real" high [sic]
tea. The deserts were wonderful. The scones were good, not the best that I have ever had.
Note from TeaGuide: Afternoon
tea is the light, often elegant, meal SERVED BEFORE 6PM consisting of
finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and tea. High tea is a
homey, full meal served in the evening AFTER 6PM, like supper or
dinner, featuring hearty foods.

We had such a pleasant time! I had chicken salad and the spinach/strawberry

the most moist chocolate cake I've ever had. I'm a tea snob and the
orange/rooibos blend I had was lovely and beautifully served. I had it with and then without honey. My friend
also enjoyed her cold fruit tisane (she is not a tea person). The restaurant was
cozy and the service was friendly, and the prices are extremely reasonable. We are
definitely going back and are going to pitch it to our book club for our

Comments: The experience was fine until we received a dirty knife, a cold cup of soup and a salad that just
consisted of lettuce. After politely asking for the fruit salad instead we were yelled at and told that that's what we
ordered and there was no need for a substitution. Eventually, she just brought 1 of the fruit salads that we
requested. She yelled at us again about a billing issue that was clearly her mistake. She never apologized for any of
her mistakes or the inappropriate tone of voice she used. Then when speaking to the owner about the situation she
gave the excuse that they were busy, rudely said an unmeaningful sorry and turned her back to me. Then after
being treated like this the waitress had the nerve to tell us we were acting ugly. This was the worst customer service
I've EVER experienced from a waitress and owner when trying to resolve an issue with service.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

December, 2007. Meal: Theme tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a
teapot.
Tea: Good. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Good.
Comments: It is located in a historic building (read: a bit rundown) in the back of a gift shop. They've tried hard to
make a girly tea room, but you still notice that you're essentially in a warehouse. However, all that fades when
the food arrives. Some of the best tea food I've ever had (and I've been to tea rooms all across the nation and even the
U.K.!). Generous portions, tremendous sandwiches, fluffy scones, and yummy desserts--all freshly made on the
premises. The service was also tremendous. I was there with my niece to celebrate her birthday and they made a
huge fuss over her, taking lots of pictures of us. Be forewarned: to get to the tea room, you must pass through
lots of dolls and gifts. It could inspire whining in the little ones. Overall, an excellent value for the money and a staff
that more than makes up for the awkward setting!
Would you go back? Hope so, but we don't live nearby.

Tea: Excellent. Food: Average. Service: Average.
Appearance: Good.
Comments: We tried Patti's Place for lunch and were a bit disappointed in the small menu offerings. They do not even offer
chicken or tuna salad. The egg salad was bland at best. It was very odd
that you leave the table to order and pay in the bakery area, and are expected to tip then (if paying by credit card) before you are even
served. We waited a long time to get drinks, then learned the unsweet iced tea listed was actually peach mango. They had no plain and had
to make it special, which took longer. The menu items seemed overpriced and at least for that much should have included a cookie.
We paid $15.75 for sandwich/sandwich combo and drink, which did not include tip! They need rugs too, the echo with the wood
floors is very noticeable.

The
English Tea Shoppe, San Antonio, TX
Visited:
May, 2007. Reviewed: May, 2007.
Meal: Lunch. Type of tea served: Loose leaf and teabags. Served: In a
teapot.
Tea: Poor. Food: Fair. Service: Poor.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: The service was atrocious. The waiter, a young Hispanic male who wore sunglasses the
entire time, did not remember to bring milk for the tea or the ice water we
requested and would disappear into the back room for long periods of time. We noticed that he failed to bring essentail
compnents of high [sic] tea to the table next to us as well. They
were quite put out and justifiably so. (We were the only two occupied tables).
What should have been a relaxing, pleasant time turned into a meal of utter frustration
for both parties. While the ambience is excellent, it is shattered by a total failure of the owner to ensure that the
experience was that of a British tea shop.
Would you go back? Sorry, no

The
Bluebonnet Café at the Happy Cooker, Spring, TX
Visited:
October, 2001
Meal: Lunch. Type of tea served: Teabags. Served: In a
teapot.
Tea: Excellent. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: This has been my favorite place to eat for several
years now. Their food is excellent. The Chicken Salad on Crousant with
fruit or soup is wonderful. My favorite dessert is Pumpkin Crunch and it
is only offered in the fall. Try their Key Lime pie in the other
seasons. They have great coffee and they always serve you with a smile.
A must to visit if you are in the Spring area.
