Everything was perfect and we highly recommend the tea & Tracy to all clients! Loved the ambiance and service too, Cute tea shop

Cute place with very nice decor. We had a good service experience. Unfortunately the food was not very good. The scones were dry, borderline stale. The egg salad didn't have much flavor. The grilled cheese was probably the best item of the bunch. The banana pudding was also pretty good but the pecan pie was burnt and the laminated cake was dry again borderline stale. I also thought the mocktails were awful - flavored seltzer but missing the flavor. The tea itself was decent but not good enough for a return trip. read more

We came for lunch around 1pm and were seated and given water fairly promptly. After perhaps 10-15 minutes we flagged down a waitress and asked to place our order. We were abruptly told that we would have to be patient, as there were 3 tables ahead of us. She didn't offer to take our order nor apologize for the delay. Incidentally, the dining room was not over half full. We decided to leave and eat elsewhere. read more

I was disappointed to hear that the Oxford Tea with Tracy had closed because we were in that area a couple times a year and liked the shop. I knew there was another one somewhere though. Then, wouldn't you know, I'm walking around Seymour, CT and spied the other Tea with Tracy. I didn't eat food, but I did order a hot tea to drink. The Louisa May Alcott from the Author's series. Very good. The shop was nice, but it wasn't quite as nice as the Oxford shop was. The tea product offerings seemed similar though. I've still never done an afternoon tea, but it's on my list. 4.25 Stars read more

I've gone to the oxford location with my family for a while now but this is the first time that I went to the original seymour location (because sadly the oxford location closed). If you haven't been to either it's really a blast to the past with the decor and 'fine dining high tea' elements that you really don't see elsewhere. On top of that the vintage decor really makes it special because instead of a cookie cutter restaurant, each part of it has its own character, even down to each individual chair! What made this visit extra special though was that we were served by Tracy herself! She was very friendly, answered all our questions, and even helped me pick out a delicious tea I would've never tried (and I don't even like tea!). I got the pomegranate blueberry - fruit tea, but if you're an avid tea drinker then they have so many teas to choose from. Although the ham and gouda was supposed to be a tea sandwich, tracy was more than accommodating to make it into a delicious grilled cheese (which should honestly be a mainstay). The combo i got came with the sandwich, tea and tomato soup all for $21 (18 +3 for the grilled cheese upgrade) but still a great deal for ct. Dipping the grilled cheese in the tomato soup was so good, so I hope they keep the tomato soup too. For dessert i had the cream cheese cupcake which was also pretty good, and in tea with tracy fashion the check was served to us in a book! Overall, I'm sad that the oxford location closed because the brunch menu and eggs Benedict were my favorite, but I'm very hopeful that it will return someday soon. read more

Tea With Tracy is a wonderful gem in Seymour. The Victoria decor makes it a welcoming classic tea house with dozens of tea options and small meals. The grilled cheese with steak was savory. My wife had a choice of several scones. The desserts are decadent. She had the pistachio creme brûlée, and I had a simple chocolate cupcake with a rich icing. The service was great even with a large party in the large space, but the noise didn't overwhelm the other dining room. read more

I was disappointed this was supposed to be a highlight for an out of town guest. 1. The staff was not engaged and very slow. 2. The sandwiches were ok. I wish we could have mixed and matched. The herbed chicken salad was bland so I can't imagine the plain chicken salad was any better. 3. It would have been helpful to know the item labeled brownie was not actually a brownie but an almond flavored cake. I don't like almond flavoring. 4. The scone was chewy at best. 5. We did not have enough tea cups on our table and when staff grabbed a cup from another table it was dirty. read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews for restaurants unless I've had a really bad experience or encountered exceptionally poor service and rude staff. I have been a loyal customer at Tea with Tracy in Seymour for many years. I went for tea with my friend here this week, as we so often do. Our server was Tracy, the owner. While taking our orders she seemed somewhat agitated and unfriendly. When she returned with the food, my order was incorrect and the new dish I received was unappetizing. After taking a bite of the egg salad sandwich which was very nasty, I respectfully informed her that the egg salad had too much mayonnaise. She only replied, "that's because I made it quickly" as if that was the reason why the sandwich was overly dressed in mayo. Despite bringing these issues to the attention of our server Tracy(again the owner of this establishment), there was no effort made to rectify the situation or make it right. I just paid the full bill and left hungry. To make matters worse, as I completed the payment transaction, she had the audacity to ask me in a stern voice, "did I leave a tip on the table?" I looked at her in disbelief, and she AGAIN repeated and held up my payment slip saying, "I noticed that you didn't check off for a tip on the receipt, so did you leave a tip on the table?" I have worked as a waitress in my past jobs and I have compassion for servers and I always, always left a tip even if the service was not up to par. However, after hearing those words come out of her mouth, the display of tip shaming and poor service, you can bet she didn't get a tip and I will never visit that establishment ever again! Overall, my experience was EXTREMELY unpleasant and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone anymore. I am so disappointed in the lack of respect and decorum from the owner. Save your money and go to any other tea house for a better dining experience. read more

I had a disappointing experience at Tea with Tracy. The sandwiches and service were below unsatisfactory. The owner Tracy was our server, who was abrupt when speaking with me, which was unprofessional and negatively impacted my dining experience. In addition, she tipped shamed me stating in a scolding voice, " did you leave a tip at the table?" while holding up the paid receipt without an added tip. I was a little confused and taken back because You are NOT entitled to a tip! A tip is completely optional and I shouldn't feel obligated to give one. Shameful and no class. This establishment will never ever be revisited. read more

What a charming place! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Seymour location. We ordered the afternoon tea where we each received a 2 cup pot of tea chosen from an extensive tea menu. We also had a choice of scones from their daily selections along with our choice of tea sandwiches and a dessert. Everything was very good. You can even purchase many of the teas as well as tea accessories on site. Cannot wait to return. read more

Service was great We had afternoon tea Everything was good except for the scones You really need to get a better recipe They were very hard nothing like a scone should be read more

What a simple splendid tea room. I popped in here the other day for afternoon tea and had a wonderful time. Since I was solo, I got an assortment of salmon and chicken finger sandwiches which were scrumptious. My giant blueberry scone I took home because I was full from the sandwiches, but that didn't stop me from also getting a lamington & a tiramisu cupcake. I actually also went with a tiramisu tea and the two complemented each other perfectly. I also left with some Jane Austen notes and Edgar Allen Poe tea as well, I cannot wait to come back and visit again. read more

My friends and I had a wonderful early afternoon tea here on a Sunday. I had almond cookie tea (delish) and cranberry orange scone also very good with lemon curd, upgraded to the grilled cheese with Brie & apples, and finished with butterscotch oatmeal cookies. I ended up purchasing some tea to go home and loved the room the tea cups and serving tray, our server was super pleasant as well. Highly recommend! Afterwards we visited the little shops on the street which made for a wonderful day all around with friends. read more

Such a lovely spot for any special occasion. I was taken there for my birthday and it was special. The full tea is quite substantial, and the range of tea selection will suit anyone's taste. Our favorites were the curry chicken, the cranberry orange scone, and the cinnamon apple cake. The old tea cups - each person gets a unique one - were also a fun touch. read more

Tea With Tracy has been on my list forever and I finally took my mom here for her birthday! It was everything I hoped for! Of course, we had to do the afternoon tea which is served on a tiered platter with your choice of tea, scone, sandwich and dessert for $24 pp. So fun! We got an extra sandwich because we couldn't decide on just two - but my favorite was the cucumber mint. Absolute classic! The chicken salad was also incredible... I would eat that for lunch everyday! Wish we closer to Seymour because I'd be here constantly. What a great way to spend the afternoon! Do try if you haven't experienced this! read more

The ambience of this place is super adorable! I treated my mom to afternoon tea and it was delightful. We had a great waitress name PJ. She was very attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. You might be wondering why only 3 stars? First, We ordered the mix berry scone and the chive scone. The scones felt preheated and it was dry and lacked the flavor and texture of what I feel a scone is. The savory scone was salty to me. I think the scones were made with a special flour because it didn't have the feel of white flour. The Devonshire cream was not was Devonshire cream, it tasted more like whipped cream. The lemon curd was great! I could of eaten the whole thing myself. The ham and Gouda sandwich was good, the chicken curry sandwich was delicious. For desserts we ordered the lamington and carrot cake. I gotta say the sizes of the cakes were not tea etiquette. They were huge! The lamington was sweeter than I expected but loved the coconut coating. I'm not a big fan of carrot cake but mom liked it. Overall, super cute thing to do. Just wish I had better tea scones and desserts. I have hosted many tea parties so I came to this establishment with high expectations. I would go again because I love tea time but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Cute little place. When I first arrived I was promptly attended and was told if I wanted to eat here, I'd have to wait 30 minutes before I had someone attend me. I agreed and got seat. True to her word, the waitress came 30 minutes later - about 5 mins after my party arrived. I ordered a egg salad sandwich and banana bread as a dessert. My friend ordered the same sandwich but carrot cake as her dessert. We chose two teas that the waitress recommended based on our palette. Pros: the tea was great! Cons: nothing else was as great. The egg salad lacked flavor and the mayo overpowered any attempt at flavor. I agree with some of the other reviews here that the carrot cake felt old and store bought. Neither the banana bread nor the carrot cake felt fresh. Seemed old, like several days old. The venue was nice and so was the service. read more

Went for a set meal high tea with a large group. It was rented for an occasion and it worked really well. Tea pots for each person (proper english presentation) a good variety of teas and lovely tea sandwiches, scones and other desserts served on tiered serving trays (again a proper english presentation). Service was friendly and I was amazed they did so well with a huge number of people. Our group took up all the tables in a whole room. I'm ready to go back and try with my Husband and daughters who all love high tea. Husband's mom was born in England. She taught us well. read more

I went here to celebrate my 5 year old daughters birthday. It is the perfect spot to make any little girl feel like a princess!!! It's beautiful decorated and has a wonderful selection of tea sandwiches and scones. The list of tea flavors is huge so be prepared to have trouble deciding which to get!! The blueberry lavender tea is delicious! My daughter enjoyed the raspberry cherry pie but I thought it was a little too tart and fruity. The menu choices are small and difficult if you're vegan (other than the small mixed salad I couldn't find anything that was dairy and egg free). The scones come with a lemon curd that is absolutely delicious!!! This is definitely a wonderful spot for a girls day!! read more

This place is very cute and girly. I visited here with a friend after a shopping trip. We both got the afternoon tea which comes with your selection of a scone, tea sandwich, dessert, and tea. We both got the garlic scone which was SO good! I've never had a savory scone and this one was so flavorful and delicious. We also both got the cranberry and Brie tea sandwiches which were okay. The cranberry to Brie ratio was off - needed more cheese, less cranberry. The cranberry was also very tart and the sandwich is served cold (would've been better toasted). For tea, I had the apple cinnamon coffee cake flavor which was good but didn't really taste like apple or cinnamon at all. My friend got the cinnamon orange tea which she really liked. For desserts, we chose the brownies and apple tort both of which were very good. Seating is tight because it's a small place so I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Our server was a bit cold and dismissive. She also basically yelled at a woman at another table to watch her child in front of multiple tables which rubbed me the wrong way. Overall, if you're really into tea or in the area looking for a unique lunch spot, I would recommend trying this. read more

We had a disappointing visit to Tea with Tracy. It used to be a warm, cozy Victorian tea house. Not anymore. No smiles from the employees. The bathroom was completely renovated to the worst. Dark blue and big flowers. The sandwich was good as usual. The dessert was a disaster. Very dry and hard like a rock. Must be one or two days old. Tea was not hot and tasted weak. And the price was up - $30! Not worth it! There were only a few customers. it used to be packed by ladies. It was hard to make a reservation at Seymour that we needed to go to the Oxford place a few times in the past. Not anymore. I suspected two other places might have been closed. I was right. I'm not excited to go back there seeing the unwelcoming attitude and a frown face - the owner(?) and poor quality of food. It used to be a special experience to visit Tea with Tracy. Very unique. One of a kind. Welcoming. Very disappointin. read more

This is a fantastic, adorable and quaint little cafe/restaurant. I would have given it 5 stars a year ago but they changed their menu in a way that is genuinely annoying and makes no sense. Before you had the option of mix and matching any tea sandwiches, daily soup and salad. Now they only offer the soup with salad and the soup with the sandwiches, which really sucks if you can't have the soup because of dietary restrictions or simple preference. They won't allow it even if you ask to buy the sandwiches and salad separately. The food here is good most days, but most of it is obviously not homemade and has been sitting in the fridge/counter which I can look past if they would let me order what I actually want. The tea is lovely if you know what to order and most of the daily soups have cream in them which make it not an option for many people. I just wish they would allow salads with sandwiches, I can't imagine why they would take it off because it is such a popular combo. I will still visit here but really hope they change their menu back/ be more accommodating to people with dietary restrictions. read more

My family visited Tea with Tracy today for High Tea. It was our 1st time here. I had pretty high expectations for what I wanted. Tea with Tracy came through with flying colors even my hubby enjoyed the experience. I'd made a reservation a few weeks prior. We were seated right away. The shop is lovely. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable about their teas. There are ALOT of teas to choose from. The tea sandwiches we tried were great (chicken salad w/cranberry & nuts and Brie w/cranberry). The hubby upgraded to a grilled cheese which he enjoyed. He raved about his chocolate cupcake. The other desserts were yummy as well. My only negative was my lemon blueberry scone which was very heavy and dense this of course is a matter of preference so you may love a dense scone. The crème brûlée tea was a huge hit. We all look forward to a return visit in the future. read more

Tea With Tracy - Tea Rooms Near Me - Seymour, Connecticut

I visited the Seymour location a couple years ago with a friend for afternoon tea, and it was a nice experience. For the holidays, I purchased a gift card for my friend so she could purchase some tea through Tracy's online shop. Guess what? Gift cards can only be used for in person purchases. This is NOT stated anywhere on the website, but Tracy confirmed it when I emailed. We both live out of state and had I known, I wouldn't have purchased a gift card that's useless to either of us. I requested a refund from GiftFly, the 3rd party gift card vendor; they said it has to be issued by the merchant. I emailed Tracy and explained neither my friend or I live near CT and therefore would like a refund (nowhere on the website is a refund or non-refund policy stated re: gift cards). Five days on and NO REPLY. I've never experienced a business that has an online shop that will not let gift card balances be applied to online purchases - especially since in the checkout process there are a couple spots for discount codes to be applied! I'm sorry I ordered the gift card to support a small business because it sours the memory of a nice experience with my friend. read more

We chose TWT in Seymour for a small 95th birthday party. We couldn't have made a better choice. We reserved their room for 18 and Paula communicated every step with me.

I can't recommend them enough. read more

Tea With Tracy - 95th Birthday Tea! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Seymour, Connecticut

I've been to Tea with Tracy twice before, once with a friend for lunch and also with a group for a 50th birthday celebration, so for a birthday treat for my daughter before seeing the Downton Abbey movie, Tea with Tracy seemed to be the perfect choice. A group of 6 of us made 10 am reservation which worked out well as we were able to choose from both breakfast and lunch menus. We ordered a selection of breakfast and lunch dishes including omelettes, pancakes, ham and Gouda tea sandwiches and scones. Various flavored and black teas and coffees were chosen from a substantial selection! My only disappointment was the homemade crumpets, (the reason for the missing star) which were greasy and stodgy and not at all authentic (I'm British), but the remainder of the food was tasty and well cooked. This is such a pretty restaurant, with eclectic intentionally mismatched China; a unique and novel experience, perfect for a mother-daughter or girlfriend outing. My husband joined us for this visit and enjoyed the food and experience too, so it's not only for ladies :) read more

I really don't get the hype around this place. I've given it a few tries. The scones are always dry, the sandwiches are bland. The service is always rushed. I can make better Lipton tea at home. Don't waste your money and throw your own tea party....trust me your food would be better. read more

We went for a Saturday tea with the girls to the Oxford location. Made a reservation as requested. Seated in a back room next to a dirty table that wasn't cleaned the two hours we were there. Our sever was missing most of the time. We received our tea and had to wait forever for milk. Syrup for the French toast didn't show up until halfway through. Waited forever for our check. They added gratuity, as we were a party of six, which is fine. I just feel that automatic added gratuity is like a participation trophy. I would have tipped 20% anyway, but when it's a given the service was definitely barely dialed in. The food however, was fantastic! I haven't had a proper high tea since the last time I went across the pond. I was so happy to be there and enjoy the deliciousness! The tea list is amazing!! So many choices!! And it was fun dressing up with the girls for a tea party! Definitely worth the visit. Want to go to the original location next time as I hear it's even cuter! read more

Cute little place perfect for some afternoon tea. They have very good pastries and a variety of teas to choose from. Their finger sandwiches weren't anything special, but it went well with their tea. If you're not in the mood for tea and pastries, they have soups and small plates of food also. It's a good atmosphere and vibe for a reasonable price. You don't see too many tea shops around here with the colorful teapots and the tower of pastries. read more

Wonderful, quaint place with exceptional service - perfect for bridal or baby showers.

My wife and I purchased a Groupon and visited Tea with Tracy for an "afternoon tea." We had a very nice time. The restaurant is large inside and I felt comfortable. I'm kind of a hulking dude but I did not feel like a bull in a china shop, even though I kind of was. Our meal included tea, salad, a scone, a sandwich, and a dessert. After salad all the rest of the food comes out together on a tower. The food was pretty good. Not blow your mind kind of delicious, but very good, clearly fresh and plated well. I would say that the service was friendly and polite. If you are looking for a place to have a quiet conversation and sip some yummy tea, this is your place. Make sure you make a reservation though, we went on a Thursday at 1:00 and there were a lot of people there. I would imagine this could be a place that you have long wait times if you don't plan ahead. read more

My Daughter and I have been to this tea house many times. Whenever she is home from Florida it's always been a place we go to. That changed a couple of weeks ago. The tea sandwiches that were made with Brie were so tiny, and no filling hardly! The scones were so dry it was pathetic, you could use them as hockey pucks. Even the tea was horrible. I asked the waitress if I could try another flavor as the tea had no flavor after steeping for a long time. She told me she would have to charge me for a different kind!!!! What??? The carrot cake was not fresh either. I agree with a lot of the reviews about this place. It has gone downhill and fast!! We will no longer waste our money going there. Feel like we were robbed! read more

This place is so cute! Came here around 3PM on a Friday afternoon. Luckily we had just arrived after the rush! The tea menu is massive. There were so many choices! There aren't many vegan or vegetarian choices, which maybe they should think about adding. I ordered the All American cupcake tea, the cranberry & brie and a chocolate chip scone. The tea was delicious! I really loved the vanilla flavor. The sandwich was so so. I didn't think the flavors were that great. The scone was very good though but could've been more moist. For dessert, my mom and I shared a lamington and the red velvet cake. The lamington was good with the chocolate and coconut but the cake itself could've been more moist. The red velvet was also pretty so so. My mom enjoyed it but it just tasted like red dyed vanilla cake with cream cheese icing. It wasn't chocolatey at all. I live about 45 minutes away from here and it was only kind of worth the trip. read more
