Secret Garden Tea Room & Gift

Sept 2022 We got the Larkspur afternoon tea, and the food was very delicious, if leaning on the sweet side. They were only offering pickup orders when we went, and the process was kinda interesting. When we ordered, we specified when we would pick up as well as the type and color of car. Upon arrival, we drove all the way to the back where they have an open tent set up. We drove into the tent and then honked our horn to let the staff know we were there (there are signs for this). Someone came out with a few minutes with our order and they were very friendly and wore a mask. We ordered our tea in tray boxes and the presentation was really good. Everything was laid out neatly with a spoon for the mousse, a cotton lemon scented towelette to the side, a labeled sachet of tea, and heating instructions for the scone on the inside of the box. The sachet of tea also had water temperature and steeping directions for that specific tea. The Larkspur includes 1 scone with 2 containers of cream and 1 each of jam and lemon curd; 4 sandwiches (egg, cucumber, ham, and chicken); 2 savories (not exactly sure what they were); 5 sweets (sugar cookie, cupcake with caramel icing, cream & peach tart, chocolate & peanut butter thing, and a mousse); and some fruit (pineapple, orange, and grapes). Almost everything was delicious (ham sandwich too salty and one of the savories was very sour) though the entire thing leaned more towards the sweet side. For balance, I would recommend a more earthy tea like the Strawberry Hazelnut (Pu-erh) tea. It was very good and helped counter the food's sweetness. Overall, would likely come again.

I took my sister here for a birthday Tea time, it was elegant and delicious! The cranberry salad was beyond divine and we can't wait to go back. I also stopped in at the gift shop and had a hard time not taking everything home with me. The prices were beyond fair and I wear the dress I bought often. Stop by even if you don't have time for tea and are looking for a great gift buying location.

afternoon tea tower n luncheon, everything they make is delicious. if you have any food allergy, talk to them. they are knowledgeable n give you the best option. the atmosphere is VERY ELEGANT n the scone is really moist n tasty. the service is depend on which waitress you have. Parking: 9 or 10 cars in the property n 5 or 6 cars on street parking.

The waitresses are friendly. The food is ok, but the experience is the reason to do this. The fanciness and manners are super lovely. Been 3-5 times and cannot wait to do it again. The only complaints are I smell animal urine when I walk it. My nose is a little extra so this doesn't ruin the experience and everything is clean, so do not let this deter you in anyway. The tables are cozy, feels more like a European restaurant. We usually go on Sunday afternoon and there has always been a large loud party in the middle. 4.5999 would recommend highly.

Called to make a reservation for my birthday with my daughters and they are still only doing curbside pick up. The only other option is to take your pick up to the picnic tables they have and do your tea there. What!?! An afternoon tea is not just about the food! It is dressing up and using beautiful tea cups and teapots, seeing the beautiful tablecovers and napkins, eating off of the pretty tiered trays in a relaxing, elegant atmosphere, feeling like you are in a different time and place. Afternoon tea is an EXPERIENCE. How lame to have a tea business that doesn't offer that experience, just a box of food. :/

This is a sweet experience. It’s a beautiful building and the gift shop is enough to hold you enthralled for hours! For repeat experiences however, the food is not at the quality they charge for the experience. It’s good, but unfortunately, not special. Thus a four star review. The teas I’ve had are very good. Go at least once!
