Give yourself time to find parking on Main St. or nearby. We ordered Queen Mums which we enjoyed with our own pots of tea.. the meal was so filling! Salads were fresh, sandwiches had a good variety, scones were soft. It's a leisurely lunch which was really appreciated. No rushing the food or us to leave. We ordered birthday cake and vanilla almond teas, and were very happy with our choices. Overall enjoyed the day at McKenna's Tea Cottage! We are looking forward to going back.

To say this establishment was overpriced is an understatement. This place markets itself like some…read moreelegant, cozy, English tea experience when in reality it looks like the inside of a dying hoarder grandma's house. The carpets and walls are "rustic" if you're being generous, but honestly they looked cigarette-stained and filthy. The service was atrocious too. It took nearly THIRTY MINUTES just to get tea. Tea. Not a five-course meal. Then we waited OVER AN HOUR for finger sandwiches that tasted like cafeteria scraps. Most of the food was genuinely awful. The only remotely edible items were the tomato soup, cucumber/egg sandwich, and chicken quiche -- except the quiche wasn't even included and cost an extra $22, which is insane for a place already charging premium prices for mediocrity. The "egg sandwich" was basically stale yellow bread with microscopic traces of egg. And whoever decided HAM AND BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE belonged in a finger sandwich needs to be fired immediately. Even the table decor looked terrible. Every table had random mismatched pieces from different sets instead of a cohesive theme, so the whole place just felt cluttered, lazy, and disorganized. Nothing about this experience felt charming or intentional. I waited over an hour to eat garbage in a room that smelled like dust and neglect. Absolutely do not recommend. I wasn't paying, but the experience costed over $100 (including $60 from a groupon).

They have a nice selection of pots! What's nice is you can also have your tea over ice. They also offer other cold drinks such as Arnold Palmer! On these warm days some to prefer ice drinks! They have a nice selections of teas including herbal ones. I ordered my tea hot, tea of the month London Fog, definitely a great pick! My one friend ordered Peach iced, it was served in a pot with a large cup ir ice (and a second cup of ice). My other friend ordered an Arnold Palmer. Leone, our excellent server, checked on us a few times for refills. Nice relaxing atmosphere and definitely feel like you can take your time, and you need it with all the delectable bites! The decor is absolute lovely, including the bathroom! The food was excellent. Tea sandwiches all great with the chicken salad being our favorite! Scones, I ordered my favorite Cheese and Chive and a new one, Lemon Lavendar. I had the lemon curd with this one, so good. My friends had a few of the others too. Definitely the highlight of the bites. So much so, my friend ordered more to go as a bday treat (now in my freezer). The sweet bites were very good too. A cupcake that had a mango frosting with chili, yes chili, unexpected heat but quite yummy! Leone figured out it was my birthday and brought out the cutest birthday treat!

We were served five different types of tea sandwiches, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The scones were incredible, especially the lavender lemon scone. It was perfectly baked and topped with the sweetest, most delicious frosting--it was definitely a highlight of the meal! The teas were equally impressive, with a wonderful selection that paired perfectly with the food. To top it all off, the service was exceptional. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. You're also invited to choose your own teapot & hat to wear. If you're looking for a beautiful spot for afternoon tea with amazing food, delicious tea, and outstanding service, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be back!

Everything was creatively planned and decorated. It was also very clean and spacious inside and out. When you go in, there's a tea sampling station with the menus so you can see which tea you would like to order. Our server was really sweet, but she was the only one serving all of the tables, so she would come by every 10-20 minutes to check on us and some things we asked for didn't make it to the table. If they had more servers, customers would be happy with quicker service. The food and tea were delish! There were 6 of us so we shared a bunch of different teas. I really enjoyed the teas they had. The sweet and savory treats were really yummy! I really enjoyed them. Each person got 5 little savory treats and 4 sweet treats. I kind of wish we got one or two more for $45, but either way they were delicious! We had a great time and were sad to learn that the business will be permanently closing down tomorrow (6/28/26), I would have loved to continue going back!

I would definitely look into booking one of their reserved rooms or spaces for any special events in the future.

I've visited Spring Tea Garden for several occasions over the years - birthday party, a bridal…read moreshower, and casual girls' day outings. Each experience was hosted in a different room, which kept things feeling unique each time. For larger events like birthday parties, the food was served buffet-style, while smaller gatherings such as the bridal shower had table service, which felt more intimate and elevated. Most tea sets include scones with cream and jam, tea sandwiches, mini desserts, and a refillable pot of tea. Portions are on the smaller side, so you'll likely leave satisfied but not overly full. The food itself is decent but not particularly memorable. The atmosphere and experience are definitely the main draw here. It's a cute spot for a girls' day or special occasion, though it is a bit pricey. The middle-tier tea service is around $36 per adult, and they also offer a Little Princess Tea for kids at $20, which includes fruit, scones, desserts, and cucumber sandwiches + PB&J. One plus is the parking as they have a good-sized lot and I've never had trouble finding a spot.
