I’ve been around the block, as they say, when it comes to dining out for afternoon tea and The High Tea Cottage is first-rate tomatoes.

high tea cottage, the three tomatoesI found it to be a little piece of heaven and a very welcome respite.  I was also in store for a little something different than other tea places,  when our server came to our table.  I don’t want to spoil the surprise but it was fun and took me to a new level of appreciation for tea. We had the yummy 3-course High Tea and I was pleasantly surprised by the plentiful portions. They have a terrific array of options on the menu and pricing as well.  A word to the wise… High Tea Cottage is VERY popular…Very. Need I say more? Reservations come to mind. The owner Anne has had tea with the Queen and a President and catered High Tea for celebrities and political figures.  Her love for the ritual shows in every detail of the High Tea Cottage.

  1. Hey Debbie, I love High Tea Cottage! I have been taken there and taken friends there many times. It is one of my favorite spots to take for a special day. They never fail to make it a special afternoon.
