Maudie MacBrides

Had afternoon tea here with my girl friends and had a great time! The home is beautiful inside and I’ve never been to afternoon tea where it’s a private party. The couple who owns this home are very nice and accommodating. The food was very good, it will be a lot of sweets/​pastries as expected for afternoon tea. The tea is a special black tea infused with roses that is very fragrant and delicious. You must have reservations (minimum party of 4) and they only accept check or cash. I look forward to coming back here again, hopefully when the weather is warmer. The outside of the house looks very nice but it was covered in snow so I am sure it is very lovely in the summer.

This place is AMAZING! It’s a very very cute tea house run by a sweet couple. You’d be please to know that a Maudie McBride did exist (the couple will give you a tour of the house and the grounds as well a brief history lesson).
They only take advance reservations only! Please do not call the day of or the day before, they will not be able to accommodate you.
If your party is under 20 people and you’d want to do a bridal or shower party they may be able to work with you. But you have to have at least 4 people.
My best friend’s husband had planned a surprise afternoon tea for her (among a list of many other surprises for the weekend). The owners hid our group in their office while they gave my best friend and her husband a tour of the house giving us plenty of time to get ourselves situated in our seats to surprise her! Boy was she surprise! The owners really did go out of their way to make us feel welcomed and went above and beyond with helping my BFF’s husband execute his plan.
It was a lovely afternoon! The food was delicious, the tea was divine and the owners had set up for us to have desserts in a separate room so that we could enjoy another room. We took TONS of photos around the house and on the property grounds. There’s a little room that’s separated from the house that has been converted into a little boutique (flowers were hung upside down for it to dry out). My husband spent some time in there and his allergies kicked in and his eyes got all watery lol. So be careful if you are allergic to fragrant).
I really really like this place! I wish there was something like this by me! Basically everything you see on their website is EXACTLY like that real life!
Looking forward to my next visit to MN! Cheers!
