The Cottage Rose Tea Room and Bistro

The Tuscan panini was good, flavors worked well together. It was served with some sort of berry vinaigrette, which I wouldn’t have expected, but it was actually delicious. I’d like to try something else next time — I think there could be other good dishes here. The fruit was fresh and a good assortment.
The bread pudding was fabulous! I’d come back just for that. I’ll be dreaming about that tonight.
My server was super friendly, but not very attentive. I ordered my panini with fruit as the side. A while later, she came back out and asked what kind of dressing I wanted for my salad… I heard her go back to the kitchen and tell someone «she changed her mind». Hmm.
I’ll be back for that bread pudding and to try some other things. This is a fun, cute tea room — bring the girls!

My co-​worker raved about this Tea Room so I had to see what all the fuss was about. We went for lunch last Wednesday.
The Tea Room is small and beautifully decorated. Lots of girly little chandeliers and a very romantic black and white theme going on. The seats all had covers and each table had cloth tablecloths and linen napkins, just what you would expect for a Tea Room.
This particular Wednesday at 11:30 we were the only one’s in the Tea Room. My friend said that it can get really busy, however. She was there on a Tuesday of the previous week and it was packed. Our waitress remembered my friend and even her previous order, she was very personable and friendly. I ordered the daily quiche special (ham and cheese) which came with 2 sides. I chose a side salad and cup of tomato basil soup. It was all wonderful. Very fresh and flavorful. The prices were great for a Tea Room experience. My friend ordered the salad combo which came with her choice of 4 salads (Tuna salad, Chicken salad, side salad, fruit salad, etc). Each of our meals were 8.95 and were generous portions.
This will definitely be a place I will return to. Such a great escape for a busy work day. Would be a great place for a small shower or ladies Tea/​lunch on a weekend as well. The little details were cute. Tea cup salt and pepper shakers, a beautiful homemade mint at the end of the meal. The menu includes many sandwiches, soups and salads.
There is an afternoon Tea (3 or 5 course) offered as well, they ask for a heads up if you will be
