I stopped in around 1 p.m. on a weekday (Wednesday) to check out Pattea Lou's Tea Room. I know…read moreafternoon tea here typically requires a reservation, but I decided to stop by anyway and order a few items à la carte. There was one larger party inside when I arrived, but otherwise the tea room was pretty quiet. The employee working the front counter was incredibly kind and welcoming. She offered great recommendations and even showed me the tea sample racks so I could smell the different blends and learn about their flavor notes (fruity, earthy, etc.). After sampling a few options, I decided on the apricot peach tea for its fruity profile. For food, I ordered the cranberry orange scone and a pesto, tomato, and cheese panini, along with the apricot peach tea. The tea can be served hot or iced, and since it was about 80 degrees outside, I went with iced. Everything came out to around $20 before tip. After paying, I was told to grab any seat and they would bring the food out when it was ready. My sandwich came out first and was delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised that it came with a bag of chips, and I got to pick one from the selection at the counter. The décor is very much inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with colorful murals and whimsical artwork throughout the space. The back room was especially charming, with elegant chandeliers and a storybook-like atmosphere. Since it wasn't busy during my visit, I really had the chance to take in all the thoughtful details in the design. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and a great spot for tea, light bites, and a relaxing atmosphere. I'd definitely return!

I went with the English breakfast tea which I enjoyed with cream and honey. Patti, the owner was kind, welcoming and checked up on us throughout the night. The atmosphere was lively, calm and I enjoyed the live music. I ordered a blueberry scone which came with a delicious citrus smear. Patti mentioned there will be more events throughout the summer/fall, so we will be looking forward to our next visit.

When I got there it was fairly early so it was empty for the most part with plenty of parking! (Around 11a on a weekday) I was seated immediately and given the seasonal tea menu as well as the regular to look at. There are sooo many tea options! I ended up getting a tea tray with just a mini pot of tea (I usually don't drink more than 1-2 cups and the mini pot is 3). My seasonal tea came out right away. My tiered tray came out a little later. The tea sandwiches were cucumber and dill (a classic, my fave!), chicken salad on a homemade roll (the bread was super fresh), a Gouda one (which was okay but not my fave haha), and the Ole (that one had beets in it so not my thing). The desserts were brownie and cinnamon cake (?) with 2 scones. The service was great. The employees constantly came over to check on me. And they even gave me the other tea I was going to try to take with me in a to go cup at no cost. It was a lovely experience. I was there about an hour. I didn't rush and they didn't rush me even though I was by myself. It does get busier around lunch time so keep that in mind. Thank you for a great experience! I'm sure I will be back!

I had such high expectations for afternoon tea at Potpourri of Silk, and I left very disappointed…read more If you enjoy a traditional afternoon tea that includes finger sandwiches, scones with cream and jam, and delicate sweets with pots of well brewed tea, you may want to skip this place. During our reservation we were the only table for tea. The staff were preparing for a private event later in the day. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Everyone we talked to was absolutely lovely. The restaurant itself was very cute and elegantly decorated. I have zero complaints about either of those things. The service and atmosphere were top notch. The problem was the food and the tea. For the tea, the loose tea was steeped in the tea strainers set over the cups and did not arrive brewed in the pot. Our server poured hot water over the tea at the table and set a timer, then when time was up we lifted the steeped tea leaves ourselves. I do not prefer this method of making tea, it means each cup needs to be individually steeped which is annoying and time consuming, and each cup is weaker than the one before it. You also do not get to select your tea - they offer two teas - one for each part of the experience and each had sweet fruity element that might not be to everyone's taste. As for the food, I was excited to try the chef driven offerings, but I was left very disappointed. To start we got a cup of autumn broth and what they called a scone. It was two very thin layers of somewhat biscuit like bread filled with apple butter and apple slices and was topped with torched cheddar. This was OK, but not what I would consider as a scone course, and it arrived first, not after the savory course. Next, we were served a kale and pumpkin puree salad with quinoa and feta with a granola on top. This was tasty, but an odd paring with the sweeter flavors of the tea they paired with it. From here, things took a left turn. I can't be sure, but many of the items we were served felt a bit stale or dry as if they were prepared the day before. One item - a foccacia with pumpkin hummus - was so dry I couldn't finish it. Other items - the pear and gruyere tart and a small pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting - were very tough and unpleasant to eat. There was no actual sandwiches, just the foccacia with hummus, a dry cornbread wedge with butter, and the pear and cheese tart on the tea stand. To finish, we were served a creme brulee that was overcooked and grainy. The flavor was delicious, but the split texture of the custard made it unpleasant to eat. Overall, I saw the chefs vision for the fall themed tea, but the execution was poorly done. Perhaps it was a bad day, considering they were preparing for the private event, but for the price paid I won't return.
