Legacy
House Imports Gift Shop and Tea Room, Madison, WI
Visited:
December, 2007. Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf.
Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent. Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent. Appearance:
Excellent.
Comments: 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.

Comments: 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.

Comments: 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.

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.

Macha Teahouse + Art Gallery, Madison, WI
Visited:
March, 2008. Meal: Just a cuppa. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Good. Food: n/a. Service: Good.
Appearance: Good.
Comments: Great location for a tearoom. My two friends and I chose
the cushions in the front window area (separated with a
curtain) and were not rushed during our hour and a half visit. This converted house
was cute, but I thought there could have been more offered to go with
our tea. Several, small cookies were added complimentary, but I
would have ordered some accompanying treats if there had been a
nicer variety. The tea was interesting and good. The service was very
laid back. They did not bother us, nor did they offer us anything else.
Would you go back? Maybe.

Steep

September, 2004. Reviewed: September, 2004.
Meal: Retail shop only. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Fair. Food: n/a. Service: Excellent.
Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: Have bought their loose leaf Assam
and Ceylon teas. It happened to be orange flavoured
Assam BOP and orange flavoured Ceylon BOP. I think it
had to be marked as flavoured; I was disappointed
since I don't drink flavoured teas. The price is quite
low -- $12 per pound.

Tea: Good. Food: Fair. Service: Good.
Appearance: Good.
Comments: An ordinary coffee shop in a town
full of them. But here you'll find about 20 different
types of tea (stored, unfortunately, in glass jars).
Best of all, the price of loose-leaf tea hasn't been
adjusted in about 20 years. 1/4 lb is only $3! For
regular customers, be sure to ask for a frequent buyer
punch card. A great resource for inexpensive tea! I
buy my everyday Ceylon here -- a very nice tea.
