Visited: May, 2010. Meal: Dessert tea.  Type of tea served: Loose leaf.  Served: In a teapot.

Comments:
We first visited the cafe. The propietor's daughter was working and helped us select a perfect tea for our meal. We went back specifically for tea and deserts on several occasions. The collection of tea sets is pleasing to look at. Now one can schedule a tea party, either a cream, dessert or high [sic] tea. All teas are matched to the food served. All food served is prepared on site. MMMMM! We will be inviting friends to go with us for a high [sic] tea.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Legacy House Imports Gift Shop and Tea Room, Madison, WI

Visited: November, 2008.  Meal: Afternoon tea.  Type of tea: Loose leaf.  Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent.  Service: Excellent.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments:
My daughter and I reserved a table for tea on a miserable day over Thanksgiving holiday. The reception by the owner, Ms Flannery, set the tone for a wonderful afternoon. The food was perfect finger sandwiches and desserts that were delicious and appealing. We purchased loose tea and tea accessories to continue the experience from our homes.
Would you go back? Hope so, but we don't live nearby.

What a delightful discovery! We were looking for a place to enjoy a 3-generation Christmas tea and through the internet found Legacy House! Our hostess, Marsha, greeted us so warmly, and welcomed us to Legacy House as if we were in her home! The stage was set for a beautiful 2-hour shared afternoon. We enjoyed delicious chicken soup and a beautiful 3-tiered plate of traditional finger foods. To then be able to shop in the open retail space at leisure added the extra "je ne sais qua" [sic] to a completely enjoyable experience! We'll be certain to go back again! Thank you for adding such a special moment  to our Christmas time together!!!!
Would you go back? Hope so, but we don't live nearby.

I've been going to the Legacy House somewhat regularly for the past few years. I've always found the food, tea, and service to be excellent. In addition to their usual menu of scones, soup, and sandwiches, they've begun offering a themed meal that changes every month. I've tried their Valentine's Day special and their Irish-themed meal and found both to be delicious. 
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Comments:
This was my second visit to this tearoom and I have been disappointed both times. My husband and I visit a lot of tearooms and usually each order an afternoon tea tray. Our waitress seemed to be surprised at this and made us feel as if we were big eaters. We were also surprised that the price for afternoon tea did not include a pot of tea. The sandwiches were tasty but not nice size tea sandwiches but rather just a half a sandwich cut diagonally. The scones were the biggest disappointment since they were very dry, gritty, and tasteless. The pastries were okay but not great. When asked how things were, I simply responded, "okay" to which the person said, "only okay?" I mentioned that the scones were very dry. We were given us a 10% discount but it wasn't enough to make us go back.

I've visited the Legacy House Tea Room regularly since it opened more than two years ago, and it has always been a wonderful experience. I love to dine in the beautifully decorated tea room with large windows overlooking a country view. This is my favorite place for lunch or tea. The tea sandwich recipes are simply out of this world. The scones melt in your mouth, especially with the glorious clotted cream. The desserts are artistic and delicious. The atmosphere is quaint and peaceful, and is perfect for a relaxing conversation with friends or out-of-town guests. Madison is fortunate to have this very special place.

Meal: Afternoon tea.  Type of tea served: Loose leaf.  Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent.  Service: Excellent.  Appearance: Good.
Comments:
The tea room is cozy, close enough to the gift shop for browsing, but still comfortable in its own space. The tea sandwiches were tasty, fresh, and well presented. The variety of fillings (meat, vegetarian, salad, seafood) was impressive! Marcia, the tea room owner, is very pleasant and attentive to her customers. I look forward to a return visit, when an outdoor garden patio may be part of the afternoon tea experience.
