My mom took me here for Valentine’s Day. It was our first time there and we drove about 25 minutes to get there. The outside of the tea house is painted a fun purple color. You enter into a very small, cramped foyer and we were greeted right away. They found our reservation and escorted us to our table, which was through the main room and into a smaller “back room” with just one other table. We were seated directly in front of the kitchen entrance. It was very cramped. I even just about knocked a bunch of tea sets off the wall trying to get my coat on and off. The tablecloth was pretty but the chairs are the cheap ugly black stackable ones. Rather than beautiful tea pots and dishes, each seat is outfitted with a small, solid colored tea pot (neither of us were fans of our colors) and a small plate and tea cup set. The tiny tea spoons were cute. Cloth antique-looking napkins were very cute but also very small. We were provided with a lengthy menu of teas to choose from and started our meal with our choice of tea. Now the food. I didn’t care for the salad and only took one small bite. Neither of us liked the tomato bisque which had tons of tiny cut up onions and a bad taste. It was also served in a tiny little bowl. Servers were fine but never asked if my (uneaten) food was ok. Next they brought out a 2-tier tray with a few tea sandwiches and some deserts. Overall, we weren’t fond of most of the sandwiches and left several untouched. We each had a strawberry white chocolate scone with cream, which was good. The other desserts weren’t eaten either. They served two cake pops and called them “truffles”. We took the desserts home to my children, who were only interested in the cake pops. The cost for this lovely meal was $40/person and then they added on an almost 25% tip automatically! Overall, very disappointing experience and we won’t go back.
UPDATE: the tip added was indeed 18%, my mistake. And yes, now that it has been brought to my attention, I recall there was a third table squished behind our tables. Otherwise, I stand by my review. I’m sorry you felt the need to discredit my review, rather than take the constructive criticism.

Really great experience here having tea. They have nice little finger foods and lots of tea to choose from. The tea is bottomless and you can try as many different teases as you would like. The workers were also extremely friendly and kind and very welcoming to us. I definitely recommend you coming here if you are looking for a tea room.

This is an adorable tearoom located in the very quaint town of Waynesboro. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend a visit soon!

This place is amazing. There's nothing like it near me, I visited while traveling. Most tea places are stuffy and you cannot bring your children. This place was calm and adorable and a great way to spend a couple hours. The tea and scones are divine. I have since started buying the tea online and as gifts for friends. Highly recommend this place. Stop by for a tea reservation absolutely but also purchase from the online store. I love the peach apricot decaf tea and am so excited to try the caramel brulee tea!

Love this teahouse, I come about once a month for the Queens tea. A fantastic selection of teas, all the sandwiches, soups, and baked goods are homemade and delicious. Excellent service. I took my mother here and she loved it too. A true treasure for Southern PA.

Very sweet little tea shop. Cozy atmosphere. Fun environment. Lovely and kind staff. Didn't mind me taking my time (it was sweet of course!). The tea assortment and flavor is truly exceptional. The shop attached is so much much fun. Will hope to return in the future!
