Flour Box Tea Room And Cafe

I had such a wonderful dining experience at The Flour Box Tea Room, back in June. My boyfriend and I made reservations in advance for a full tea service for two. When arrived there were quite a few people but we were still able to get a parking space in the designated lot. We were seated right away and not long after our server arrived. She had such a genuinely welcoming, warm, and friendly demeanor. Since we had never had a full tea service before she was incredibly patient while we made our drink choices and helpful answering a few questions that we had. We did not have hot tea, and opted for iced beverages. I had the green sunburst tea that came with syrup for sweetening so you add as little or as much as you'd like. My boyfriend had the rose lemonade, which I had a couple sips of. Without trying to sound like I'm embellishing here, it was by far one of the most magical and unique flavors I have ever tried. Our server brought out the tiered plates for the tea service and gave us a quick but informative rundown on what everything was. The bottom tier was a chicken salad on a croissant, egg salad on toast with chilled asparagus, and a phyllo cup with cheese. All were delicious but the egg salad was hands down my favorite. It was light and almost had a slight whipped/fluffy texture, and the chilled asparagus was a perfect accompaniment. I loved the phyllo cup too, it was crunchy on the outside with perfectly warm and delicious cheese inside. We had the freshly baked scones next, that came with jam and clotted cream. The server had previously explained to us that the clotted cream is essentially like butter, so we learned something new! We had both had one sweet and savory scone. They had just a bit of a crunch on the outside and were soft on the inside. The final tier was sweet items! Lemon mousse with raspberry, a mini tart, and a palmier. The mousse was delicious and was probably my favorite of the three. I also enjoyed the very light but crispy texture of the palmier. All of the food we had was absolutely delicious. I would love to get my hands on some of that egg salad though! Crossing my fingers that maybe it will be sold it separately someday to take home. I had some initial skepticism coming in that I would be full after the tea service, since we were coming in at lunch time. But that was actually quite a bit of food, more than enough! The atmosphere contributed a lot to the wonderful experience as well! Our server was outstanding and really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I really can't wait to return, have the tea service again, and try some of the regular menu items.
