                                    Love this tea room. The ambience is wonderful, the owner is charming, and there is always lots of fun shopping. The only complaint is that the scones are a bit dry.

                                    We had been thinking of a different experience for lunch for my Mom & some ladies. The English Rose Tea Room was the right choice. All the ladies were very happy with the atmosphere, and all the little things that make a great English Tea Room! Thank you, they will be back.

                                    Visiting this special place has been on our List of Places to Go for quite some time and we finally made it happen. The whole place is done up so beautifully! The Owner (I believe) was warm and friendly. Most of the staff were sweet and inviting. The ambiance and experience was amazing. Some of our party was a little late arriving and the staff was kind and understanding. The tea was wonderful. The sandwiches were really good...especially the chicken. Half our party was GF and they were grateful for the GF options. The scones were DELISH. The desserts were the only thing that was underwhelming. But overall, a WONDERFUL experience!
