Tea Roses Tea Room

Peggy and staff were warm, wonderful, and so welcoming! I brought my tea-party-loving 9-year-old granddaughter, my daughter, and my mom so that we could celebrate my granddaughter's birthday. We all enjoyed the ambiance, food, and teas immensely!!! It was a truly lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We will be sure to return again as often as possible! We all highly recommend Tea Roses Tea Room!

I live in PA and needed to find a CT venue for a bridal shower for my daughter near where I grew up. I went online and found Tea Roses Tea Room. None of my friends/relatives in CT were familiar with it, so I called and spoke with Peggi. After talking with her I took a leap of faith and booked the room for the shower. Best decision ever! It was fantastic!!! Everything was perfect! The atmosphere was ideal, the food was both attractive and scrumptious, the tea was amazing - especially for my guests(and me!) who are predominantly coffee drinkers! Special details, such as heart-shaped scones and brownies, added to the occasion. I am back in PA but I continue to get comments about the event - especially about what a perfect place I found. Such fun!

Words cannot describe the wonderful experience. The atmosphere was a wonderful and quaint tearoom. The food was out of this world. Every bite melted in your mouth. The staff was amazing. You have to experience Tea Rose tearoom once in your life. If you do you will be hooked. Definitely a must. Call ahead for a reservation to be sure to get seating.

A treasured experience! A quaint tea room nestled in the downtown area of Cromwell that is decorated and appointed like a traditional English tea room. A wide variety of teas, tea pots, tea cups and more in the shop. Delicious mini sandwiches, breads and desserts are served on English bone china. I have also attended a couple evening events which were also amazing. Peggy (owner) will take very good care of you. You wont be disappointed.

Peggi and her hostess made us feel right at home, even when making our reservation over the phone. We were greeted with a sample of tea as we made our way to our table in the cozy and quaint tea room. We ordered the afternoon tea and when the tiered tray was brought to our table, we were given a detailed description of each delicious item. We enjoyed it all, including the pot of Congo Bongo tea kept nicely hot on a tea warmer at our table. It was an overall delightful day and we plan to return very soon!

I have visited several tea rooms throughout the state of Connecticut and even into historic Charleston, South Carolina where Southern hospitality saturates every corner, and none of them can even come close to the experience provided by Tea Roses Tea Room in Cromwell, CT. This is a best kept secret and a true gem of Connecticut. The space is beautifully decorated and has a certain spa-like feel to it with its twinkle lights, cozy fireplace, and quaintness. I have been here several times for the Afternoon Tea service and other special evening tea events. At Tea Roses you are invited to choose your own teacup, if you'd like, which I have yet to experience at any other tea room. The proprietress, Peggi, hands you a cute booklet that contains all of the various teas available and encourages you to "Sit, Sip & Relax." Each teapot comes with its own candle warmer so that you don't have to worry about taking too much time and having your pot of tea get cold. All of the food is excellent and perfectly presented. The scones are fantastically tasty and come in the shape of a heart. Sounds silly, but there are even hand bath towels neatly folded in the bathroom for you to use. These little touches really make you feel cared for during your time at Tea Roses. If you are looking for a quiet place to catch up with a friend, have a date night (or an afternoon date!), or maybe a girls' outing, I HIGHLY recommend Tea Roses Tea Room. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Peggi for following your dream and for providing such a special place for people to come together! I cannot wait until I'm back in the area to visit. Thank you!

We were pleasantly surprised by this wonderful tea shop and tea room. Best known for organic tea. Unlike most coffee places in the U.S., they really know how to properly brew a good cup of tea. Check out their exclusive custom Tea roses blend, which is a black tea with floral notes. The best surprise was the large selection of gluten-free options, including delicious fresh-baked scones with homemade lemon curd and clotted cream. Reservations suggested as they do not have many tables.
