Crema's Take
“This charming tea room excels at creating memorable occasions, especially for families and celebrations, with an owner named Jennifer who brings genuine warmth and personalized care to every event. Beyond the thoughtfully curated tea selection featuring standouts like their Blueberry Tea, they offer light lunch fare like their praised club sandwich, making it an ideal spot for unhurried gatherings where you can linger over a cup and conversation. It's a cozy neighborhood gem where the intimate atmosphere and on-site gift shop encourage you to slow down and savor both the drinks and the company.”

The menu choices are great. I had a club sandwich and it was delicious. The Blueberry Tea was delightful. Service was very good. The atmosphere is ok. Tables are pretty close together and the atmosphere is ok. Overall I would definitely recommend having lunch here.
Went there for lunch with a friend and all was fine. Booked a bridal party at that time for a later date. Day of bridal party came and the building was so uncomfortably hot for September, that not even the elderly guests were comfortable. Continually asked the lady to turn the AC lower and she steadily declined and wouldn’t turn on ceiling fans either. It was a semi-formal party with the entire spread. The lady working was in jeans and an off the shoulder top and looked like a slob. They were supposed to replenish food throughout the party. They kind of did, let trays get almost entirely empty so guests stopped eating assuming it was almost gone. Icing on the cake was when the lady started cleaning up before our party was even over. That resulted in many guests leaving early. Very sad since the bride came from out of state to celebrate this event with many others who traveled to get here. Would definitely not consider them for another event, but MIGHT return for lunch one day.
I had my daughter’s 5 th birthday party at village tea room yesterday and it was just PERFECT!!! The owner of this place, Jennifer, is a delight to work with. She has a very personalized approach to details and I found her extremely cooperative and helpful. All my guests were so happy with the food, decor and all the arrangements. Thank you Jennifer for a fantastic job! We had a blast 😊 and we can’t wait to visit again!!!
I came across this place thru my bank advertisement for cash back. I reviewed the menu and was excited to find an establishment that promoted the tea & bakery/pastry concept. On my lunch break from work, I figured I would be in a “me moment.” I placed an online order because of possible time constraints and I didn’t want to sit alone in the restaurant to have this experience. The young lady greeted me with her arm in a sling/ cast and provided my pickup service. She was polite, professional and confirmed my order prior to completion. I ordered the trio which included lobster bisque, ham & Swiss on croissant and Tiramisu. There were several options to choose from the menu. The soup was hot & flavorful though no chunks of lobster it tasted as if it did. The sandwich was full and tasty, could only eat 1/2. Only recommendation is to inquire if the patron wants it warmed. The Tiramisu was one of the best I’ve had. The guests that were present sat in the restaurant were coupled or in groups of 3 or more. A must try with friends or family, such as a mother and daughter outing. I ate my dessert and was only able to take a picture of the empty container.
Wow, I never know this place was here. We had my Granddaughters 4th birthday party here and it was awesome. The room was decorated very nice and the tables were set for a tea party. The have a shop where you can purchase all kinds of teas and soap and jelly, candles, nick nacks and more. It was so much to look at just look at all my photos. Thanks.
