The Talking Tea Cup

Girls afternoon out for tea to celebrate my daughter’s ninth birthday. Everything was yummy. Blueberry scones, sandwiches, desserts were excellent. I had the smores tea and my daughter had the vanilla ice tea. My aunt had the white chocolate and my mom had the earl gray. Definitely will be back!

I love The Talking Teacup! I have been there several times now and the food and tea are always delicious. The staff is forever pleasant. And the antique shop next door is perfect for a ladies outing.

Very friendly and cozy atmosphere. The menu had a lot of great options along with reasonable pricing.
The gift shop is cute and has a lot of unique items. If you are a tea lover or new to drinking tea this place is a great Tea room to start.
Will for sure be back and I cant wait!

Enjoyed a Luncheon Tea — not quite the traditional English tea I’ve had here stateside or in the UK. The food was tasty — we enjoyed the scones and the desserts. The finger sandwiches had some ‘less than traditional’ pairings, along with the traditional ‘cucumber’ sandwich. Vast tea selection.
Felt sorry for the two waitresses — they had a number of tables. They were too busy to check to see if I needed additional tea in time for the desserts — or maybe they don’t do that. They were friendly enough.
Several of the cups, saucers and plates had chips. These should be weeded out… a bit unappealing when you go to take a sip and the cup is chipped.
Don’t let the location fool you — it may be next to a convenience store and on a major road — you’d never know it.
I would visit again.

The Talking Tea Cup is the ultimate girly adventure.
What’s funny is when I was in high school and still in my somewhat «mom this is so lame» stage, my mom used to drag me here and I always hated going. Tea and scones did not get me very excited. I always asked my mom why they didn’t have a cheeseburger on the menu.
Now that I’m older and not such a pain in the ass, I’m the one who begs my mom to take me here when I come home for a visit. They have so many different teas. The full breakfast doesn’t sound like a lot of food, but it will fill you up for sure. And the food is GOOD.
There is really not anywhere like this place anywhere else. The funny thing is you won’t see many men in here, unless they are whipped and treat their wives of 50 years to an afternoon tea. So it’s a good way to get some girlfriends together and go for a nice Sunday lunch.

Talking Tea Cup is a pretty good place to get your English countryside on. We went for High Tea, which I thought at least did justice to what we’d experienced in London. Tea selection was pretty large, and the waitress was able to offer some advice on the options. Each person gets their own pot of tea, which they refilled when empty.
First up were some very good scones. Pineapple and chocolate were the two varieties we were given. Preserves were really good, and the Devonshire cream was passable.
Next was a cup of good soup, followed by several different types of tea sandwiches. All of them were good, the only complaint I had was that they serve an egg salad sandwich in place of real egg and cress. Hopefully that will change once they get the herb garden going.
Despite being right off of a busy road and next to a 7 – 11, the orientation of the house and some hardy hedges really help preserve a rural atmosphere. The charming little cottage with mismatched plates and silverware that fit it perfectly is worth trying out.
Finally something good and a little unique that’s close to my house.
