What People Are Saying
“Incredible afternoon tea! The fact that they have a vegan option for the meal too is amazing, and my mom loved being able to go to high tea again. A fantastic experience!”
Angelina
“Held my daughter’s baby shower here. Outstanding food, service and charm! Plenty of parking. Easy access for guests with a walker. We are looking forward to returning without a special event!”
Deb
“Love this place! My husband and I go here every year for my birthday. Everything is freshly made and the unique menus (they change monthly) always keep us guessing.”
Roshini
“This place is the cutest place for tea. It’s cozy, it’s vintage country side and with a hint of Bridgerton. Mismatching tea pots and cups. Coo-coo Clocks on the wall. What’s the best part is that everything is HOME MADE.”
Dalia
“Went there with 7 other ladies for my birthday. Service was fabulous, food was tasty, a great place for afternoon tea.”
Carol
“My mother and I both LOVE high tea, have been to high tea all over the US and even in other countries, and the Pinecone Cottage is one of the absolute best. The fact that the owner creates a custom-themed menu each month is incredible, and means you can visit frequently and have a completely different experience.”
Suzy
“We enjoyed the most wonderful afternoon tea at the Pinecone Cottage Tea House! Every item was creative and delicious. All Teas should put their best foot forward with the Curd and Chef Pam Gerald’s was to die for! Wonderful environment, staff, tea, and food! Highly Recommend!”
