I went in to Kathleen's Tea Room for the first time and the ambiance was absolutely beautiful!! The food was very delicious and the staff was so polite and kind! I will definitely visit again! read more

Super cute and cozy. Great selection of teas and other assorted drinks. Food is pretty great as well! Definitely love the spinach and bacon quiche! Great place to go with a few friends to relax and have a nice lunch. read more

Took my grandmother for brunch and everything was amazing! Hummus sandwiches really hit the spot, dessert was to die for, and the tea was perfect, especially for those who appreciate the kettle over the bag. Atmosphere is quaint and cozy and the staff was truly top notch. I recommend getting reservations because the place has always been busy when I have seen it! read more

Delicious in every respect. Can't wait to go back. Chicken salad was so large it was enough for 2 meals.

Always excellent. Barley soap very tasty. Quiches excellent. Scones, fresh with fruit. Atmosphere wonderful, best tea house in area.

I have been here with my daughters and mother numerous times and we are never disappointed. They really cater to children and are very accommodating to making whatever you desire. Yes the China is dated, but that's the point- it's supposed to look antique, which is its charm. We love this, as well as the food. Most tea rooms are very expensive and this is reasonable for what you get. Also a lovely presentation. read more

Well have not been here for a while - since my favorite waitress left - and the last time I went service was a bit spotty - so I waited. So here I am with my daughter before she heads out to airport. New chairs - lovely red napkins - happy to have scored a noon time reservation. New menus - yup some price hikes - mix berry scones. Took a bit - waitress came back ordered my favorite - Earl Grey Creme -waitress said creme - yes - waited and waited - finally had to wave her down - she was on her cell. Funny it came in a sugar bowl - kinda of hard to pour out - no bother - cuteness of the place. Staff from kitchen came and delivered our order to the table next to us - laid down in front of them - and of course they look and say not our order - we look and say it may be ours - picked up from in front of them and placed in front of us - lucky they noticed before they touched it. I got the wonderful quiche and butternut squash soup -salad combo. Soup delicious along with quiche. What happened to the salad - had all the fun stuff in it - but the salad itself tasted dry - like it came out of the plastic bags. I did ask the ladies next to us - who have been there before - and they agreed the salad tasted off. Well our waitress vanished but the other was nice and we asked for the scone right away - as we realized short on time. Scone delivered - more hot water please -and never were our lunch plates taken away - yes they were almost empty - except for salad. We are at a table for two. So we ask for the check - hand over the credit card - and we waited over 5 minutes easily - finally waitress comes over to tell us issues with the machine. We wait a bit more again - finally she says - can she take down the numbers and run it later? really? No thank you - I am local can I write you a check? Yes they took the check - tip was a bit skimpier than what I like but was low on cash. This experience will make me wait to go back again for quite a while. Waitress should not be on cell phones, I should not have to eat dessert with empty plates - I was disappointed this time. Meanwhile place is packed - The food is good - I hope they re-evaluate what they are doing with the salad. Please fix your credit card machine. read more

Recently visited Kathleen's Tea Room with some friends. We tried a wide variety of menu items during our 2 hour visit. Overall, we had a nice experience, but this was definitely not my favorite or best tea-room experience. Firstly, I ordered a salad that came out with little-to-no dressing...I mean..I couldn't find it, taste it, or see it. It was a lovely pile of fresh lettuce with great ingredients, but no dressing. The tea was over-steeped. The tea pots have little baskets that the loose tea sits in, which is cool, but tea is not meant to steep for two hours. There was also no way to keep our tea hot, or even warm. Most tea houses that I've visited had tea warmers for each pot. So, after about 20 minutes, all of us had cold, over-steeped tea. The afternoon tea option was great. The mixed array of desserts and finger sandwiches was nice and kept all of us happy while we explored what was on each tier. Overall, our experience was pricey and kinda plain. Sad to say that we would not visit again based off of the lack-luster experience and higher cost. read more

We went here for my Mom's birthday (She's a tea lover). We had such a great time. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff couldn't have been nicer, the tea was delicious - we tried so many different kinds (Mango was really good), and the food was great. We unfortunately didn't save room for dessert. We went with 4 people. I'd recommend doing the afternoon tea (makes the experience) - even if you're getting a meal. It worked out perfectly for us. We'll be back! read more

Cute place! The ambiance is comfortable and cozy, feels like you're walking into your grandmas house. The tea menu is quite expansive, many delicious flavors to choose from. I went for the peach-apricot and it was delicious, seems to be a favorite among customers. It was served in a cute little teapot, with mismatched cups... I felt like the mad hatter (and I liked it!). My friend and I ordered the "Afternoon Tea", which was served on a cute three tier stand. It came with assorted tea sandwiches, a crumpet and scone, some dessert tarts with fruit and a two-cup pot of tea. There's a five dollar sharing charge per person when you order this UNLESS you get another menu item...why throw away $10 if you can spend it on more food? Everything is around $10 anyway. Since we were hungry we got a chicken, mozzarella and roasted red pepper sandwich that came with a side salad. The raspberry vinaigrette on the salad was HEAVENLY, the sandwich was delicious too...however, the assorted tea sandwiches that came with the "afternoon tea" were very underwhelming and flavorless, some even had nothing inside of them. It was absurd and disappointing. The scone was delicious, and so was the raspberry jam that came with it. The crumpet was tough and oily, and the dessert tarts were underwhelming as well, but the fruit was fresh and very tasty. Another drawback is the service. Although they were nice, they were inattentive. They took forever to ask us if we were done (we were CLEARLY finished), and once they brought us the bill, no one came to get it so we had to get up and pay...maybe that's just how it works? Regardless, it was a cute experience. I'm sure I'll be back, and hopefully they don't skimp out on those tea sandwiches. read more

Kathleen's Tea Room - Afternoon Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Peekskill, New York

I had a reserved lunch with my cousin recently, which was my first experience at Kathleen's after being a resident transplant of almost 15 years. I was saving it for a special occasion; which was a visit to my home here by my cousin, who reserves and comes up to Kathleen's to celebrate friend birthdays together at least twice a year. Kathleen's Tea Room was quaint and nicely decorated with an interesting collection of tea pots, cups and other related décor. We were well received by greeters and our servers were pleasant, friendly and accommodating; first taking our drink order, (highly recommend the strawberry lemonade) and then Kathleen's Chicken Salad of a variety of interesting, delightful, tasty morsels of fresh fruit, vegetables, (also highly recommended). The atmosphere was pleasant, warm, friendly and positively confirmed my curiosity whenever I passed by it's storefront window seats and observed happy patrons seated beyond while headed to art classes. The food was amazingly delicious, fresh, satisfying and well prepared with such variety and intent! I look forward to visiting again and sampling some of the other dishes and those wonderful deserts I've heard so much about! Su B read more

My aunts experience today. Discrimination in Peekskill Took my 98 yr old mother and 79 yr old brother to Kathleen's tea Room in Peekskill for lunch. I dropped them off as mom relies heavily on a walker. I parked three blocks away and walked over to see them both out on the sidewalk. They were told they could not be accommodated because they had no reservations. I walked back in and told the server that we drove twenty minutes to get there and that it was very difficult to get a 98 yr old woman out and about. I further said there was no sign on the window stating reservations were required. She responded that they were strongly suggested not required on Fridays and Saturdays as they were busy then. About 10 tables were in use and about 8 were empty. I again affirmed how difficult it was to get there. She said maybe she could ask her boss to make an exception. I told her it would be greatly appreciated. She did an immediate about face and said why don't you go to the restaurant across the street-a burger place. I am so sorry I took my staff there for our holiday lunch. The milk of human kindness does not seem to flow there. Don't expect to go back there again. read more

I have been here several times and I love this place. The food is always good and they have a huge selection of teas. I love their Lucia's salad, their hummus sandwich and their scones especially. Booking the window seat is also recommended. Sometimes service can be a little slow if they are very packed but they are always very pleasant read more

Absolutely adore Kathleen's! The tea menu seems endless with so many varieties to choose from and my favorite is mixing vanilla with cinnamon. I had a delicious salad with a great mixture of greens with grilled chicken and a delicious vinaigrette dressing. The plate was dressed with many specialty items like tiny gherkins. Dessert was to die for ~ freshly made scone with berries and freshly whipped cream. We thoroughly enjoyed everything!! Kathleen's is an "experience" to be enjoyed and not to be rushed through; also perfect spot to bring your little girl for their first cup of tea! read more

One of my favorite local spots. They have THE best BLTs and varied salads in the area. The desserts are unbelievable. I wish they were open on Sundays too. read more

We live in California and are visiting our daughter and family in Katonah. We came midweek and had a wonderful lunch. Soup, sandwiches, scones,salad,desserts and service we excellent! We will be back on our next visit. read more

I am sorry i didnt write a review years ago. This place is excellent! First of all the atmosphere is perfectly lovely. Nice for a ladies luncheon or an afternoon tea. Soup, salad, sandwiches- all are great and nicely portioned. The High Tea is something- great to share w a few friends! I loooovvvve the scones served w fesh fruit jam and butter. Sometimes i spring for the clotted cream. Its expensive on the purse and hips but OMG! SERIOUSLY. After many, many years of coming here i finally tried the crumpets- yum yum. It truly is a cross between a pancake and an english muffin, served same as the scone. The prices are fair i think since the service is good and the food is fresh and tasty and above the typical soup/ sandwich pairings we are used too. Men would like it too. My dad jumps at the chance to eat here and he is a MCD's guy. read more

Over many years Kathleen's has remained a favorite. The scones are awesome but almost everything else is delicious as well. It does get crowded and noisy, especially on weekend and reservations are recommended. The rickety wicker chairs, mismatched china, and floral chintz all add to the charm and do not seem out of place or outdated in this lovely spot for lunch or afternoon tea. read more

This place is great! The food is freshly prepared and beautifully presented and the teas are delicious. It has a cool, eclectic decor, and they play great music all the time. My daughter and her best friend love going there and sitting in the window seat for lunch, so we make a special day out of it as often as we can. read more

Mmmmmm! Cute place for a girls lunch. Ordered the mini-salad and 1/2 roast beef sandwich on a croissant with horseradish. Really delicious and not too spicy. For dessert I ordered the monks tea and peach Melba (big for a dessert and sweet but no complaints here!) really nice waitress who didn't mind that we had an antsy 9 month old with us! read more

I love the vibe. The location is full of charm and character. I love the tea service as well as selection. I was treated like a valued member of the family. Ok at least a valued member of the club. read more

Took a friend here for her birthday. It was a cute whimsical atmosphere and perfect for the occasion. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The service was prompt and both the tea and food was delicious. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends! read more

I love, love, love this restaurant! All the food is fresh, delicious n plated beautifully! The selection of tea is excellent... I highly recommend Kathleen's! read more

While my friend and I parked in front of this place with intentions to go somewhere else, we both looked at each other and knew we had to go into the tea room instead. Such a comfortable adorable atmosphere with truly lovely staff. I've never had tea before but the ginger cinnamon with milk was great. Also had my first crumpet! Tea and crumpets naturally. They were amazing and fluffy. The sandwiches were delicious and well prepared. We went for the BLT and the Ruben. Great choices. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. read more

Kathleen's Tea Room - Crumpets! Delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Peekskill, New York

I go there as much as I can and the service is absolutely amazing! The food is delicious and clean. The tea is beyond any other tea rooms I've been in (I've gone to a lot) the prices are reasonable as well. The room is the most amazing part of the room. It's vintage and beautiful with a lot character. I recommend this tea room to everyone! read more

@David A Clearly, you people are quite unfarmiliar with the way the restaurant business functions. First off, if you've ever actually been to the restaurant, you would know that there are only 10 total tables. Secondly, just because tables may appear empty, does not mean that they are not reserved. Not too sure about you, but if I made a reservation at a restaurant and arrived to see my table occupied, I would not be happy. Instead of making an ass out of yourself and trying to bomb the establishment with bad reviews, maybe just man up and contact the owner if you are really that offended. Please, you or your family should not be threatening the staff, who are simply doing as they should (Quite well I might add). I'm sorry about the extreme incinvenience of driving 20 minutes, I'm sure that was the hardest thing you've been through in a long while. Please try to avoid chalking this whole experience up to "Discrimination". Of who, the elderly? Utterly laughable. People like you should not be allowed to use the internet as a weapon against businesses that minorly inconvenience you read more

This place makes me happy. If I still lived nearby, I would go here about once a month, just to sample all the different teas over a period of time. The decor is eclectic and cozy - the perfect setting for a lunch with friends or a chat with your book group. The food is tasty and satisfying - I hope to try their scones one day, but for now I can dream... read more

Kathleen's Tea Room is a delight. Its magical and whimsical- the roaring fireplace, the beautiful decor, the fresh delicious loose teas - so many varieties- we had lavender, orange vanilla, nut-cracker and another fruity blend- amazing! The scones with the raspberry jam were out of this world- and the assortment of pastries, and tea sandwiches- this place is Peekskill's best kept secret- The owner is amazing, so kind and personable! I rented the tea room for an event- the staff were beyond accommodating- my guests loved this place- they drove from Greenwich, New York City, and Upstate New York to be thoroughly impressed, pampered and delighted!!!! What an amazing experience!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIghly Highly recommend it!!!! read more

Sandwiches are very tasty, but not much selection and hours are quite limited. It would be nice if they did breakfast or brunch. Decor can be a bit overwhelming. read more

I came here with my boyfriend. The Tea... Exceptional !!! The service was great!! We had the butternut squash soup and it was super yummy with salad and he had the macaroni and cheese... Everything was yummy. Again my tea was so good and the ambiance was so cute. Like an English tea room complete with a fireplace. read more

This is the best tea room I have been to in a long time. Imagine an old eccentric aunt with way too many antiques and yet, somehow, good taste had a tea room. This is that tea room. The decor and food itself is all aesthetically beautiful, and the tea and food tastes great as well. I highly recommend Kathleen's Tea Room and I plan on stopping by whenever I am in the area. read more

I've eaten here countless times and am NEVER disappointed. It is a frequent spot for my friend and I to catch up. Between the food and the atmosphere, I'm hooked! The croissants with turkey bacon and that cranberry mayo is DELISH. The salad with the raspberry vinaigrette is amazing and I love all the soups. Everything is homemade and fresh. I had the trio salad which I thoroughly enjoy when I'm trying to be on the healthier side, but still feel satisfied. I just recently had the hummus sandwich and I think it was the best hummus I've ever had. Please don't leave here without getting a fresh pot of tea in one of their many unique teapots!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! It's so warm and inviting! The owners are such sweethearts and really do care about their customers. Whenever my sister is in the area we make a point to come here and bring my niece, it's become a tradition. They even set my nieces spot with a mini teacup! (She's barely 2) the food is excellent, always fresh and I like that they change it up with the seasons, it's a nice touch. Overall I've never had a bad experience here, and I've never even heard of one from other people, I highly recommend stopping by here and trying it out! read more

Been there several times in the past year and have never been disappointed. Closes week nights at 5PM but pleased to learn that they are open for dinner until 7PM on Fri and Sat. Take out too. Their sandwiches are really terrific. Love Reuben and Kathleen's Bit. However, highlights are their salads which are absolutely the best in the area. Fresh varieties of greens some mixed with fruit in generous proportions. Loved the Lucian and Best Spinach. Menu changes with seasons and recently tried their Root Vegetable entree on the winter menu and highly recommend. Tried delicious Apple crisp and Petit Fours for dessert. Staff is also very friendly and accommodating. Can be crowded for weekend lunches so be prepared for high estrogen atmosphere. read more

Nice place, pretty particular decoration. A little bit pricy but the ingredients are really high quality so I think is fair. Lots of seniors during my visit, but it was quite lovely atmosphere. read more

Walked in here with my partner and it looked like an 18 century tea party. Also I looked around the room and it was mostly women. LOVED IT!!! I had such a great time. The hostess was fabulous and the food delicious! Crazy about the delicate tea cups and table cloths. What I also liked is that it is pretty, delicate and delicious and it does not apologize for it!!! Will definitely be back many times and take my friends. read more

Very pretty and great service! Had the tea service and everything was delicious although the rest of the menu sounds awesome! Nice girlfriend lunch place! read more

Terrible service. Made a standing 97 year old woman wait for a long time while she patiently waited a her walker. plain rude

i live in the area and have been here several times, i had my 50th birthdat here too, great place for a "girls lunch" food is good and the staff are nice read more

I recently had my daughter's engagement party catered by Vivian (Cyndi) Mckenzie and her incredible staff- Diane, Giselle and Jennifer. The food was outrageously delicious and the service was not just professional but warm, leaving all guests in awe of not just the taste and presentation of the food but of the grace and congeniality of this great crew of women. BRAVA!!! read more
