Not my usual type of dining but I knew my wife would like it. Had a nice lunch, waitress was one of the best we have had anywhere. Good price for what you get, cake was really good. Enjoyed cruising the antiques afterward. Great local place. Guys take your significant other, she will love it and you will too. read more

Cute spot hidden in the back of an antique store. You can look around while you wait for your food if ordering to go! It's a small little place. We got to go. It did take quite a while, probably 30 mins for 6 sandwiches. I got the chicken salad sandwich . It was pretty good. It had a different taste to it, maybe a bit vinegary? Couldn't quite put my finger on it but didn't taste like a traditional chicken salad sandwich. I think the celery was replaced with something else. lol it was decent. Portion size is good. I half expected homemade chips but they were just bagged chips. This feels like grandmas house with it being in an antique store lol! read more

So cute and the food is super yummy! The pricing is wonderful too, not what you would expect for such quality food. It's a great atmosphere with the antique shop in front to shop in while you wait for a table. I loved the strawberry salad and will be coming back! read more

This place is everything! The little flea market when you first walk in is so unique and cute! The aesthetic here is so quaint and cozy. The food is to die for!!! The veggies in all of their wraps and sandwiches are so nicely sliced and crunch. The bread is so soft. Truly the best sandwich I have had. I also got their zesty Parmesan soup and it was so freakin delicious! It is very reasonably priced. Also you HAVE to try their desserts! All of their cakes are perfect! I will be back for more! read more

Spring Creek Tea Room - FOOD - Tea Rooms Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

Folks were raving so we thought we'd give it a try. Wait was estimated at 50-60 min. We asked if we could get a dessert "to go" to share while we waited as it was a "special" rare date. They said: "If you purchase a piece of cake, we will take you off the wait list." Then adding insult to injury they have what looks like a church bench with about 3' that has a sign that says take out, please do not sit below (arrow pointing below the sign). We sat at the other end of the 6' bench and the server asked us to move and pointed at the sign. I guess I would have just posted bench reserved as to avoid being rude to my guests. The food was "good", nothing that we would rave about tho. It is made fresh, food came quickly and the choices on the menu were good. We would eat here again but would definitely not wait any length of time. Hubby and I both agreed, we preferred Marketplace. The desserts here are good. Would be better if they used real whipping cream rather than the cool whip type. I have no problem recommending. If there is a huge wait though, try the marketplace in town square, their food is excellent and they care about the guest and will sell you a marvelous cookie while you wait. The 3 stars is solely because of their attitude toward the guest, not to include the server as she was great! read more

The food is always fresh and delicious with an amazing variety of desserts to choose from each day. The Castlewood senior living goes as a group on a regular basis with our residents and they are always accommodating to our large group and to our needs. read more

One of the Ozark's well known secret spots, the 'tea room'. Cleverly designed out an old house, you are greeted by cheerful cashiers, the store decorated with antiques and other knickknacks from the beginning. You'll find out that there's a lot to look at, especially with the justified wait that you'll have for a table on busy days. This is perfect time to pick up unique planters or even some old photographs of people you don't know. I will say, according to my grandma, some of the antiques are a little pricey but they sometimes have stuff that collectors haven't seen before. Okay, now to the food. I'm not kidding when I say it's a breath of fresh air. Everything is so perfectly seasoned, salted, peppered, etc. And don't even get me started on their HOMEMADE cakes. Like every single ingredient is put together. Not box at all. The last two times I've been, they had been out of their chocolate cakes, but for honest good reason. They're amazing, period. The staff is friendly and you'll for sure feel welcomed there. Thanks for making when I come home special! This is a spot I will forever cherish in my heart. read more

I have gone here many times since it opened and the last time I was VERY underwhelmed. Instant iced tea and out of about half of the lunch choices. When we did get our order it was not correct, remade and was again incorrect (wrong sides & bread). Our server was very dismissive and much more interested in gossiping with the table next to ours. Needless to say we will not be back anytime soon. read more

My friend and I had lunch there Thursday. It was great and less than $10 each! Love to shop in their store too. Just have more cakes and pies- the ones we wanted were gone at it was only noon. read more

Spring Creek Tea Room - Our table - so cute - Tea Rooms Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

We used to LOVE this place! Amazing desserts, delicious cold soup, and great service. However, lately it's gotten so busy that it's not even worth the super long wait. It also gets so busy that by the time you're seated, none of their delicious cakes are left. I'd love for them to provide seating areas for the long waits (they basically expect you to stroll through rows of antique stalls, but honestly antiques aren't for everyone) and/or an online waitlist so you could be texted or something when it's your turn. They also need to expand the restaurant to add more seating. It's basically a tiny back corner when there's clearly a demand for a bigger restaurant. I'd love to come back on a weekday for an early lunch, but will never be returning on a busy Saturday. read more

I can't say enough good things about this adorable lunch spot! In order to make the most of your visit I would recommend showing up when they open at 10:30. Your entire party must be there in order for you to be seated, but if you have a group of 5 or more you can call ahead and make a reservation. When you order your lunch make sure to also order your cake - they sell our QUICK! Their desserts are baked fresh daily and oh my goodness they are to die for. The cheesecake has been my favorite! Their sandwiches are incredibly fresh. The vegetables are cut so thin and have the perfect crunch. The strawberry soup tastes like a melted milkshake - so sweet and the perfect texture. Quiche is only served on Fridays and is always served with a warm roll that melts in your mouth. The salad greens are fresh. The prices are incredibly cheap and the staff is super friendly! Do not walk - RUN - to the tea room! read more

I eat here almost every Saturday and love the food prices and it's always busy so there us always a wait which is fine with me. Fantastic desserts, flavored tea, and soups that vary by the day. The artichoke spread is one of my favorite next to the roast beef sandwiches and the salads are large fresh and full if a variety greens even the house salads that come with the full sandwiches. Great tea room worth the wait good prices lots of food best desserts around. read more

What an unfortunate lack of manners and customer service in this establishment! Our family wanted to take my mother out to lunch for her 70th birthday, but they refused to accommodate us because there were children in our party. My children are older and well behaved, yet we were discriminated against because of this. The last time I was there, the food was lackluster, but I wanted to try again bc my mother loves tea rooms. I will not be patronizing this establishment in the future and I am really disappointed in the uncouth behavior of the staff. read more

Love the salad, soup and flavored teas! The desserts are awesome too! A treat for sure.

Meh. I really don't understand the draw of this place. They have OK sandwiches but nothing you couldn't slap together yourself with some decent deli cuts and spread. (The bread is nice and dense, though.) To access that just-barely-decent sandwich, though, you have to either wait forever for a table or you have to (as my family inexplicably does) arrive for lunch at 10:20am. So, obviously, I must be in the minority, because huge hordes of other people seem to find a draw in this place that I can't understand. Sure, it's a perfectly decent sandwich. And sure, they have nice desserts (I'm not a sweet tooth, though, so that doesn't appeal to me). But there really isn't anything special about it, and certainly nothing special enough to warrant waiting more than maybe about 5-10 minutes for a table. (And you'll wait FAR longer than that.) By the way, they are VERY strict about their policy of not seating your party until everyone is physically standing in front of the hostess. They're almost downright rude about it, too. Once you're past the gauntlet, though, the servers are usually reasonably friendly. Definitely not a place to relax and enjoy a spell, though. Frankly, if I want better food, I go somewhere like the (new) Finley just a few blocks away, and if I want a better atmosphere, I'll head to the Vineyard Market at the next exit north. About as much reason to stop here as Lambert's, IMO (and read my review of Lambert's to understand why that's not a compliment). read more

Best salad, sandwhich & cake around! But you better get there early!

Fabulous homemade food! LOVE LOVE their salads. Best I've had in Missouri. Always a wait but stroll around and look at tge vintage booths!

This is one the cutest and quaintest tea rooms we've been to! So much to look at and the food is so yummy! Love the uniqueness of it and the homey vibes. We come back every time we're in town. read more

The best tearoom in the 417. Such a staple for Ozark. My favorite sandwich is the veggie. It comes with an artichoke spread that makes the sandwich. The produce is always seems fresh. The salad I get with their home made peppercorn ranch. So good. I normally do the The tea room is tucked away in a antique store. Which is charming & also distracting due to the long wait times. 25-45 minutes usually on a busy day. Hints the to go container. The service is always quick and friendly. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Charming place! Its always busy so be prepared to wait or browse the antiques while you wait. I have been told by locals to order your desert with your meal because the deserts run out quickly. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich and I had the house salad with apples and pecans. My husband liked the chicken salad except for the grapes in it. My salad was great. We had pumpkin apple cake and raspberry crunch cake for desert. The deserts were excellent. The trip to Ozark is worth it just for the cakes and pies. The lunch choices are typical for a tea room. The menu consist of sandwiches, a couple of soups and salads. Allergy alert Alot of foods on the menu contain nuts! read more

This is the best tea room in the 417 area! We have been going for years and I'm always impressed with the service, the delicious food and the fun atmosphere. And over the years the prices have remained low! Such an amazing value. Yes, it gets very crowded quickly. Our pro tip is to show up around 10 a.m. to sit down at a table before there is a line, and they will start serving around 10:15 or 10:30. It saves you having to wait in line for 45 minutes. Oh and of course! Order your dessert when you order your food to make sure they don't run out. read more

I love the vibe here! While you wait for a table (and you will wait) browse the flea market which is vast. The kind folks will even hold your finds until after you chow. The menu offerings are typical tea room offerings. I had the chicken salad and while it was good it wasn't the best i have ever had. Chips were Lay's chips so they definitely could up that game more. The tea was good. Not a bad place but for sure could be better. read more

I've never been to a place that was sold out of everything before. Crazy. Soup of the day, out. Asparagus soup, out. Croutons, out. Raspberry earthquake, out. All Cheesecake, out. All pies, out. Except for coconut cream. Chocolate cake, out. Turtle fluff, out. Chocolate strawberry torte, out Lemon, out. I'm surprised they were even able to make my grandma her salad. Which technically they didn't make correct cause they didn't have the croutons -_-. The hot tea here is just packaged tea you buy in the grocery store. No fresh tea. What we did get to try was... Apple pecan salad - missing the croutons, had dressing on it even though requested it on the side. Not a lot of fruit in it sadly. Pumpkin pie cake - looks great. Tastes bland as dirt. Pumpkin pie filling had no pumpkin spices to it. Just tasted like canned pumpkin filling. Need to throw in some nutmeg and cinnamon and clove and ginger etc. wasn't even any sugar added... ugh Apple spice cake - the cream cheese frosting was delicious!!! It lacks in cinnamon and apple flavor though. Once again, ugh. Toasted pecan cake - nothing special. Just chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and nuts... The store part where you can shop for goods is cool, and the place has so much potential and promise.... but it lacks so much unfortunately food wise. If you're looking for a traditional tea and cake place, this is definitely not it. read more

These best cakes & pies ever. Great sandwiches, wraps & specialty soups. This is our go to Saturday special lunches.

Took them 2 and a half hours to get us a seat for 3 people. Food was mediocre. By the end of our lunch there was no dessert left. Seats were so crowded together. Got here at 10:30 and left at 2. Never coming back. read more

Years ago I read a review about this place so I kept it in mind for 'someday' to stop in. That day came and it was perfect. There was no wait to be seated. The cold peach soup was incredibly good. So yummy I took an order to go for the next day! The chocolate pie would have been very good had the filling not be removed before it was placed in the to go container. It was literally meringue and crust with a spoonful of chocolate in between. That would be the fault of the person that packaged it so I won't remove stars for that. I took a piece of coconut cream for a friend. She loves coconut cream pie more than anything in the world. She said it was very very good and the crust was excellent. The server wasn't the best. She was friendly but disappeared and another server asked if I needed anything else. The place was full when I arrived but cleared out so maybe the server was taking a break? Plenty of parking out back. Interesting shopping with all kinds of antiques. I will be stopping here from now on if I'm traveling on the limited days and during the hours when they are open! read more

I've never actually been there, but my wife and her sister go quite a bit and they bring me food. I have to say the food is very very good. My wife and her sister enjoy the atmosphere and say it's a very nice place. I can vouch for the food. Also, they always come back a lot happier than when they left. That's a pretty good recommendation. read more

Just had our first visit to this place. Devoured a great sandwich and a very moist slice of chocolate cake. server kept my coffee cup full, which seems difficult for some servers during a rush hour, but not this one. Had a fantastic time at the bookstore next door. There were both men and women in our party. Everyone had a good time. Nobody had any complaints about the food or service. I would love to book a big party here! read more

Never disappoints!!! Very good food at an affordable price. The atmosphere is classic and quaint.

Go! Go early! Go with friend, friends or alone! You may get to sit with a new friend. (they won't make you, they will ask if it's okay to share your table) This is girl food at its finest: marble rye for your sandwiches, mixed greens salads with unique dressings, flavored teas, flowers at the table, fun mismatched table and chairs in a parlor setting. If you have to wait for a table, you can look around at the flea market goodies. The food is mostly all made there, especially the cakes. You may want to order your cake before you order your lunch. The servers are always nice and knowledgeable about the food and desserts. I've actually seen men in here but I always wonder what heinous transgression they have committed to have to eat girl food. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's just really a girl place to eat. Take your girlfriends. read more

If you live anywhere near this place you NEED to go. Dare I say a better lunch for their inexpensive prices is increasingly hard to come by. Though if you plan on eating in, the traditional one hour lunch break probably won't cut it.. This quaint little place gets BUSY! (I have actually waited for up to 45 minutes to be seated). But don't let the wait scare you away, it is located inside an antique mall so rather than salivate while watching others eat you can pass the time productively by perusing through other people's junk. For the impatient, you can actually call ahead and get your name on "the list." It's not the same as a reservation, but when you arrive you do get priority over the walk-ins. Also, once you do get seated the food comes out astonishingly quickly. Enjoying an afternoon meal at the Spring Creek Tea Room feels like being at your grandma's house and it leaves an imprint on your memory. The antique mismatched tables, and the lacy table trimmings makes the effort seem somehow more sincere. The flavors get stuck in your mind like a song on repeat. Right now, I can't get that beloved cold strawberry soup out of my mind. While the menu is modest and simple; offering a spread of sandwiches, soups, and salads, the food experience is unique. It would be a crime to come to this place and not order dessert. They have literally over a few hundred recipes and their cake making prowess is actually a local legend. Each day they will prepare over a dozen three layer fresh cakes, cheesecakes, and pies which the patrons lay to waste in the mere three hours in which they are open. So absolutely do not skip dessert! You can split a piece if you are worried about your waistline as they are substantial helpings. Just the variety of dessert flavors will blow your mind. If these place wasn't significantly off my beaten path, it would certainly become part of the regular rotation. read more

This place is always really REALLY busy, but we'll worth the wait. We waited over an hour for three of us, and I don't regret it one bit.
