I got the lemon curd, Boston cream, s'mores, and red velvet. While they all tasted great, they were pretty dry. My favorite was probably the lemon curd. I wish they had signs up for the flavors of the cupcakes, but the worker was very nice and she gave a good rundown of the flavors. I think this place is worth trying, even with the cupcakes being on the drier side.

Sadly too much of anything ... you know how the saying goes, but ai digress. The gentleman server is always gracious, greets you with a smile, and he remembers you as a customer, so that's definitely a plus. The lines are always long, out front is mostly family oriented packed, so there's that. So many indicators that this is a place to stop at, after dinner, or a nice walk to the river. I usually get the boogie woogie, it's so scrumptious. Let's not forget the nostalgia down memory lane with the times piece objects advertising a trip to the drive in if any still existed. This place is cute, small, and memorable and really just perfect as it is. Last but not least... the music... that's really music. Dive in to this drive in... and see for yourself. I've chatted while waiting on line with folks visiting from out the country that has heard about this place to see what the hype is about, and I tell ya.., they had smiles on their faces.

The menu didn't seem to be as extensive as normal (see my pic), and I ordered a brownie sundae. It was $10 and didn't even come with a full brownie. There were a few chopped brownie bits which did not taste good on top of average ice cream. I didn't even finish the whole thing and took two bites and threw it out. For $10 I would have at least expected a whole brownie. The vanilla ice cream was nothing special. Cash only. No parking.

I stood there debating for a bit--looking at the cupcakes (carrot, red velvet, espresso) and even considering the macaroons, especially the chocolate one. But in the end, the chocolate cake kept calling my name, so I went with that. The woman helping me was really kind and even offered to give me a candle for the cake, which I thought was a nice touch. She boxed it up for me and didn't completely close the top of the box, which honestly made it feel a little extra special--like a sneak peek of the cake inside. I brought it to the restaurant where we were having lunch, and my friend was so happy when I surprised her with it. We shared it for dessert after our meal. I was a little nervous buying a cake I hadn't pre-ordered, but it turned out to be delicious--moist, rich, and perfectly chocolatey. There was a bit more frosting than I personally prefer, but the cake itself was gorgeous and tasted great. There was also a vanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles in the case that looked really tempting, but since my friend loves chocolate, I definitely made the right choice. She even compared it to a cake she had recently bought herself and said this one was better. I told her if she couldn't finish it, she could always freeze the rest and enjoy it later. That's actually what I like to do with leftover desserts--freeze them and pull them out when I'm craving a sweet treat. Overall, it was a great last-minute birthday pick and the cake was a hit. I'll definitely be back the next time I need a sweet treat--and honestly, I might have to try that vanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles because it looked so scrumptious!!

It had a nice balanced sweetness to it with a nice glaze on top and the proper amount of raisins. Overall a high-quality pastry. My coffee was full-bodied and smooth and definitely to my liking.

It felt positively Bridgerton-esque, my Dear Reader, from the butterfly patterned china, to the delicate King Louis chairs to the elegant three-tiered trays of pastries and scones. The salon was filled with multi-generations, ladies who lunch, and my dining companion was alas the only gentleman. We enjoyed Tea for Two: smoked salmon & brie and apple tea sandwiches; scones with cream, curd and jam; tartlets and crème brûlée. There are also savory options such as soufflés and English pies and of course, a very diverse multitude of tea. This is a lovely place for a special occasion and of course make reservations as this is quite small. Our tea was unhurried and leisurely and the staff was efficient and friendly. Lady Camellia is really my cup of tea.

I'm not new to tea time- in fact, you could call me an afternoon tea enthusiast. I found this place…read moreafter searching (mostly in vain) for a shop that does afternoon tea/high tea. What you get for the money is INSANE. It's a great value, especially for such a HCOL area. I was so full after leaving; this is one of the few tea shops I've been to that actually give you a good amount of food (which was very tasty). I've seen a few reviews mention that the tea strainers don't catch a lot of the tea leaves. This is only true for some of the teas, but ultimately, if you usually drink loose leaf tea, it won't bother you. The shop itself is cute, and looks right over the water. It's small but cozy, and when it's full it has a nice vibe to it. You definitely need a reservation, and to get the time slot you want, you'd need to book well in advance. Servers were attentive and explained everything clearly. The only (very minor) suggestion for improvement would be that the brie and apple sandwich should use green apples instead of red. That would give it a nicer flavor profile.

The menu leans traditional, with a variety of options that highlight classic French flavors. That said, it's a bit on the pricier side for the overall experience.

Overall, a quaint and inviting spot that brings a touch of France to Old Town.

To quote the great Tyra Banks: "I want to give you a zero, but that's not possible. So I give you a…read more1." Let's just say the food here was absolutely disappointing. All of the hip young girls in high school recommended this place to me and my friends and lets just say, they have never been more wrong. My girls and I went this weekend for a birthday brunch. I wanted a crepe, but when I saw it was 17 DOLLARS to slap some Nutella and strawberries on a piece of crepe is outrageous. I ordered a "Continental Breakfast," which, with tax and tip, cost me $30 DOLLARS. I wish you could have seen the look on my face when they gave me a plate of rabbit food. All 6 of us looked at the plate and laughed. Seriously, my 5 year old neice can eat 3 times as much of that in one sitting. So, in what world would that be enough food for a grown woman? My friend then went on to order the French toast for a grand total of $36 DOLLARS. Mind you, there was only one piece of toast, and the Inside was raw and soggy. Tasted like eating wet, soaked toilet paper. On top of the overpriced food and small portions, our "server" came to our table for a total of ONE SINGULAR TIME. My friend had also ordered a Chai Latte. Surprise, Surprise! It never came, and they still charged her for it. I think the nice man who brought us our food could see the look on our faces when we received our food, because he then brought us a free side of French fries. It is a huge problem when the french fries were the only sufficient thing I put in my mouth at this restaurant. I please, genuinely beg all of you to NOT waste your money. I promise there is anywhere else where you can get a crepe for double the size and half the cost. Once we left, we went down to Call Your Mother, the Jewish Deli, to get more food, as all of us left with our tummies still rumbling. Mind you, a full bagel sandwich and coffee cost HALF THE PRICE of one meal at Fontaine. Horrible. Mind you, it is 2 days later, and I am still thinking about this. I fully created a Yelp account just so I could leave a review. I think I would have a better experience eating an IHOP Continental breakfast than whatever I put in my mouth at this restaurant. Not worth the hype at all. Save your hard-earned cash and be a big baller elsewhere!
