What a quaint spot!! Inside is filled with trinkets and has so much personality! We chose to sit outside and savor our steeped tea and soup. Tables are all recycled from people's yards and it adds to the charm! This is not a quick serve place.,.but one to relax and enjoy your company. Way too many selections of teas!!! So that means we will be back! read more

Copper Kettle - Avocado toast and tomato soup....amazing - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Foley, Alabama

The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very charming and relaxing! The staff is accommodating and helpful.

Hard to believe it's been four years since my last review here, there's been quite a few changes since then, so it's time me. The Copper Kettle Tea House is a semi-hidden at 106 N Chicago St in Foley that's nestled away behind the Centennial Park. The Tea House, sometimes referred to as "The Hobbit House", is the full time restaurant that is open Wednesday through Saturday.  This is one of my favorite spots of all times, with some of the very best food you'll find anywhere with the best soups I've had anywhere. I'm not alone in my accolades since these guys made the Yelp annual 2021 list of Top 100 Places To Eat in the US and Gulf Coast Media's Best of Baldwin 2024.  Sisters, Robin and Sue, are delightful ladies who own and operate this wonderfully charming tea house with some surprisingly culinary creations that are always outstanding. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, attentive, and always make you feel right at home. The environment is relaxed and inviting and what sets the folks apart is their meticulous attention to detail and care of everything they do which makes for a truly wonderful experience.  Also another very special treat is their High Tea services to suit most everyone. You can call them to book your high tea, 48 hours in advance, or email them at  copperkettlebooking@gmail.com or you can book your personal casual, cozy, quaint, or  playfully themed tea online.  They have fabulous tea selections, prepared to your specifications, hot or cold and you can purchase any amount to take home with you or even order it online.  In addition to perfectly prepared sandwiches, there's great apps and desserts and let's talk sous. The best tomato basil soup I've ever had is here, plus some amazing combinations also like pear, pumpkin and apple soup, but the biggest surprise soup suprise I've ever had was the day they introduced me to their "Cheeseburger Soup". You may be hesitant, as I was at first, but trust me it is crazy, crazy, crazy delicious. This creation has everything you'd find on a classic cheeseburger, right down to the dill pickle slices, in a cheesy broth. I'm on their hot list of people to call when they're serving it. Kinda like the bat signal it's my personal soup signal :-)  So no matter whether it's a lunch or dinner, high tea, or one of their laid back Friday evening events you can rest assured that they will make it special every time with their special touch.  Bottom line: The venue is a hidden gem and the staff is a cut above and the teas, and food, are magically delicious. Very highly recommended!!  Hours: Wed-Thur 10-4 Fri 10-9 Sat 10-4 https://www.thecopperkettleteabar.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CopperKettle.TeaBar/ Read More about the top 100: https://www.thedailymeal.com/yelp-top-100-best-places-eat-2021?utm_campaign=clip read more

Who fell in love from first sip & you will too. Relax enjoy & Sip on in their tea room today. Local's & lunch breakers gather awaiting their seats craving their favorite fresh beverages & entrees. Some patrons prefer leisure experiences savouring the moments with friends and family or relaxing by themselves. Letting time slow down & experiencing warm hospitality that only local businesses can provide while taking time enjoying delectable flavors & soaking up calm vibes from their indoor dining room or their outdoor space providing wonderful views of their town square & surrounding shops giving wonderful views with reminiscents that resembling quaint small town squares frozen within time. From the moment soups's boiling tea's brewing & quiches prepared. The lunch rush begins. My second high tea here & was immediately greeted with hospitality by their server offering samples that featured a couple of holiday teas. First impression sampling their Christmas Spirit tea containing a pear & cinnamon brew. It's a flavorus pleasing sweet balance between cinnamon & pear showcasing their flavors without overpowering each other & being treacly sweet. After enjoying 2 pots offering those smooth holiday flavors reminiscent of Christmas delectable delights. It became time for pairing my tea with piping hot cheeseburger soup. Savoury flavors this soup contains are amazingly seasoned with perfection offering tastes reminiscent of freshly grilled burgers having infused familiar flavors within their base not resembling a chili taste. Their soup's appearance & texture is reminiscent of chili having melted gooey cheese upon seasoned beef layers topped with a delicious pickle. If you're avoiding bread & still love cheeseburgers. This dish is all you. Attention switches focus towards a pretzel cracker basket we ordered. Dips within were amazing & flavorful as cherry tomato flavors combined with butter crackers & dipped in cream cheese or ranch is amazing. My lunch has been a flavor cornucopia with each indulging sovoury bite which continues to amaze me with each visit. Through their tea varieties hospitality & amazing food selections. Their Tea room exterior resembles a quaint & beautiful English cottage with a hobbit-burrow entrance & stepping into an inviting cozy atmosphere adorned with eclectic decor featuring antique items, beautiful framed pictures & tea themed paraphernalia adoring their Boutique dining area fusion where price-tagged merchandise & tea related merchandise is available throughout their whole shoppe. Outdoor dining is delightful having wonderful views of Centennial Park & surrounding downtown Foley which offers wonderful shopping opportunities. During certain occasions they have it themed during certain times. When I dined outside Wednesday their Dickens-themed area transported me back to Victorian London. Their Outdoor dining area isn't any fancy patio. Expect a simplistic backyard setting with seating & some minimal decor resembling that found in antique thrift stores. My overall experience made me a repeat snowbird patron every year. Until then stay a spell relax & sip on enjoying that "High Tea With Southern Charm" with your favorite snack or entree if desired.

Brought my daughter here on our girl's weekend trip and it did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was very cozy with easy listening music from the 70's and 80's. We had a nice light lunch and enjoyed browsing all the different teas and tea-related items. We will be back for sure. read more

The Copper Kettle is a MUST if you're in the Foley/Gulf Shores area! Lovely tea experience with quaint and quirky atmosphere, an amazing selection of teas and the most wonderful and delicious foods. Between the tea and food, the friendly service and the personable owner/chef, you couldn't ask for a better tea for double the price. Our annual girls beach trip always includes a stop here because we love it so much! read more

i enjoyed my experience here. my love for tea is growing and when i found this tea room was an hour away i decided to have a nice day trip to go visit as there are no actual tea rooms in the city i stay in. i am so grateful as it was worth the drive. the employees were helpful and sweet. i got some help in picking a tea option. i went with the China Rose and the first sip was okay and then i enjoyed more as i kept drinking. i got it unsweetened as i don't consume the sweetener options of sugar or honey. i did bring some agave just incase i didn't like what i ordered so i wouldn't waste the tea but it was not needed. i am expanding beyond most of my experience with tea being grocery store tea bag sweet tea so i've been holding off on adding agave to the different loose teas i have been exploring at home. i went alone and other then taking a few pictures i spent the quality time with myself making words from the Scrabble tiles on the table. i went around 6pm on a Friday and i was grateful that it was not crowded (i'm a noise/people sensitive homebody) just two tables of people who i believe were all together. sipping the tea and gently exercising my brain was calming and a nice way to end my trip before making the drive back. they also had a few items i wanted to purchase but need to keep on my wish list at the moment: loose tea, tea towel, and a cute bag with the name of the shop on it. my first tea room experience was pleasant and peaceful just like i like my experiences! read more

Wonderful, delicious and fun!! Amazing food and great place for High tea!! Two Grandmothers and two granddaughters shared the amazing treat of conversation and tea. We will return another day! Thank you read more

I can't remember the name of the chai I had but I had it iced with turmeric and sweet cream. If I try to spell it I'll butcher it but it started with an M and was at the bottom of their list of chai selections. Anyways, it changed me bruh. Perfect level of sweetness and I could taste the spiciness of the tea and the earthiness of the turmeric, which balance so well. The woman who served us said it was grown by a family in India and it was all organic, which I love. I've been craving it since Saturday morning which is when I got it! As for the shop itself, the ambience is soooo homey and the people working seem happy to be there. I'll be back as soon as I can. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!!! read more

I had never been to a "tea bar" so for me to say "as good as it gets!" I might be overstating my knowledge, but I can say I was impressed with the extensive menu, both tea and sweets. I am fortunate to be married to a husband who will "try anything once" so he was with me and he too was impressed with the sweets. We visited just before Halloween so the shop was dressed up for the holiday, including a motion sensor in the bathroom that spoke to you in goulish tones. However, the best feature was the staff. Employees were friendly and very knowledgable about their products. They were able to answer or find out the answer to all of my questions, including how to play the "pick up sticks" game they provided. I can't wait to see how they decorate for other holidays. read more

This is my favorite spot in Foley. Delicious food, wonderful teas, and great service! I absolutely LOVE the Copper Kettle. Whether sitting outside or grabbing a table inside, you'll find magic and whimsy everywhere. It's a perfect place to relax, bring company, or just a good book. With flavors for every taste, this place does not disappoint. The scones are heavenly, soups that hug the taste buds, and the atmosphere hits the soul. With beautiful decor inside there's so much to catch the eye. Outside is a wonderful space with play area for kids, oversized chess and checkers, and a beautiful wood swing. This place is a dream and to top it off they're ready for themed parties and hosting events. So whether you're having a spot of tea on your own, coming for high tea, or having an event, Copper Kettle is a fantastic place for it all. read more

Staff was incredibly sweet and kind. Food took a moment to get to us but was entirely worth it. The food was delicious, soup was warm and comforting. I recommended the pimento cheese dip, had to be one of the most delicious things i've ever eaten. The tea was incredible. Inside is a bit cozy but there is a plethora of outside seating. I would 100% recommended this place for tea lovers and people who love good, filling food! read more

If I could get away with just one word for this place it would AMAZING but since I can't just give you no explanation I need to give you one. We had soup and sandwich of the day and I was amazed at the pumpkin soup which I don't usually like but this one was just scrumptious and worth it. I got the open face martini sandwich but it was a little heavy on olives which I like so I was glad the daughter got a pimento one because it was great. The teas were great and I would suggest the iced hibiscus lemon aid tea and iced Mackinaw Fudge coffee. The people are great too! Stop and check this little secret out! I will be returning to check out the desserts. read more

My mom and I stopped by to get a bite to eat and mom's favorite tea. It is a small quaint place. When we entered we looked for a table and two empty tables were reserved. However there was one other table that was empty. On it was an employees cell phone and a set of keys. Instead of cleaning the table and offering it to my 83 year old mom and I we were informed that we could sit outside, it's cold, really. We got tea to go and a scone. The scone was not very good. We both enjoyed our tea. read more

Yes yes yes love this place it is a cute quaint little place in the middle of downtown on the back road... It is adorable it has a beautiful garden in the back they had the best teas/coffee sconces... Etc. you will love it two thumbs up read more

This place is the absolute best - I had made the mistake of not having any caffeine or food before heading out for the morning, so I was a bit on the hangry side. My husband found this place, and we sped on over to make sure I didn't get too grouchy. We walk in and are greeted by the ever-so-lovely Sarah - she seated us, brought us out a tea sample (which we ended up going home with a bag of), and then took our order. The tea selection was fantastic, and we ended up a with a pot of delicious London Fog, and the food items offered were wonderful. I had a grilled cheese with tomato bisque, and my husband had a strawberry scone - both were scrumptious. In short: great food, amazing tea, and the best service you could ever imagine. This is going to be our go-to for afternoon outings and bringing out-of-town guests. read more

Always have enjoyed the recommendations here! The pasties offered are great and it's perfect to relax alone or with others.

Found this delightful tea shop in downtown Foley just behind the Visitor Center & train exhibit. The smell was wonderful even as you came in the door from all the teas. Everywhere I looked was something whimsical and inviting. I went in the buy a glass of tea for the drive back to the cabin where I vacationing but ended up staying for a mid-afternoon refreshment break. I had the excellent toasted coconut cake & orange tulsi tea. Browsed through the various teas that could be bought in bulk- the shelves were organized by tea type- very helpful! They even had a book-to-borrow rack if you were dining alone. The staff was friendly with helpful suggestions & a thorough knowledge of their food menu & tea offerings. So glad I went in and stayed for an hour. read more

This place is terrible if you have the audacity to visit this so called "restaurant" you need to rethink your life choices. I waited for 45 minutes to be served a cold meal. They have junk littering the whole lawn and unless you are 5 and under there is a dollhouse and a muddy sandpit for the kids. Please do me a favor and never visit this place. read more

I brought my daughter in law to The Copper Kettle for high tea. It was wonderful. Thank you for a memorable experience! We'll be back.

Absolutely the best tea room I've ever been to. Great food, atmosphere , service and fun

What a charming place, and with Robin as the heart of the Copper Kettle, kindness and generosity are always served with every cup of tea, plate of delicious "boxcar tuna" or quinoa chili, and every pumpkin-cranberry scone! They have close to 50 varieties of tea and coffee. You can have tea iced or hot. Located in Heritage Park in Foley, the tea bar is in the quaint historical train worker's home. Seating is indoor/outdoor. They serve food until they run out--and you don't want to miss the food, so come early. Want a little break from the world? This is the place for you! read more
