The house was packed on a Tuesday afternoon. We did reservations and so glad we did as they were not taking walk-ins on the day we dined. The employees were very courteous and kind. The menu is great and so much to choose from. But of course we chose the high tea meal. It comes with 4 sandwiches lemon bread and scones and to finish strawberries. All the food was of good quality and tasted very good. Cucumbers and tomatoes could have been cut thinner on the sandwiches, but the taste was really good. They have a few things for sale, but it is not a small gift shop. The few tea rooms that I have gone to did have a souvenir shop to buy tea, bakery items or small tea pots or cups. But I think their focus is on the tea room and food. Their tea is placed in tea pots that are beautiful and they place it on warmer to keep it warm. With many variations of teas and also other option other than tea to choose from. It was just a great place to enjoy the day and some tea.

Miss Hickory's Tea Room is a quaint tea house right next to the scenic Mill Stream Run Reservation…read more There's a softness to the place with its charming teapots and tea cups, pastel color scheme, and themed tea rooms. I had the loveliest afternoon tea with my mom at Miss Hickory's. AMBIANCE: You'll step back into the 1900's with time-specific decor and waitresses' attire. Miss Hickory's occupies a mid-1800s farmhouse that was owned by the first blacksmith in Strongsville, William Weller. The current owners preserved the historic charm, transformed the farm house into multi-room tea house. There are two main dining areas on the first floor, and multiple gorgeous themed tea rooms upstairs (like the Gathering Room and Storybook Tea Room). The interior contains a lot of refurbished and vintage furniture, charming housewares, and decor. Think pastels, florals, and lace. The space comfortably accommodates big groups and pairs. Small parking lot is available onsite, consider car pulling if attending with a large group. RESERVATIONS: I personally despise the commitment of reservations, but the process here is very easy. I emailed the tea house, received same day email response, and was not charged to hold the reservation. The tea room space started filling very quickly at open, so it's best to reserve your space. FOOD/TEA: Multi-page menu will accommodate all types of tastes. Find another seasonal menu at your table with all the flavors of the season. The menu contains signature plates, sandwiches, soups, sides, sweets, desserts, and beverages. You can have anything from a full tea feast to no tea at all equally enjoying your time. If you're a tea connoisseur, read all tea descriptions at the end of the menu. We ordered Miss Hickory's High Tea Sampler ($23 per person) that contains a shareable 3-tier serving tray with finger sandwiches, wonton cups, strawberries, scones, sweets, and crème. While I have seen larger portions at other tea houses, the food amount was very filling. Everything was extremely fresh, much fresher than experienced at other tea houses. I most enjoyed the walnut scones, they were so delicious! The standalone menu items seemed expensive and were served in very small quantities based on our observation of other guests. I don't think that ordering standalone items offers value. My mom thought that the experience was pricey, while I think it's about at market price. Since the tea is not included in the sampler, we ordered and shared two tea pots - Loose Leaf Arctic Berry and Black Currant ($4 per teapot with refills but no sharing). They were served with a tea warmer which was incredible, I love me some hot tea! The flavors started out very mild then evolved during our experience due to longer steeping. We agreed that Arctic Berry was our favorite tea. If you're not into loose leaf teas, you'll discover a very long Twinings selection. EXPERIENCE FOR KIDS: Many guests arrived with kids who were very enthusiastic about tea parties. They wore adorable matching outfits. Kids received their own tea experience - tiny tea cups and teapot. It was really cute! The room upstairs (Storybook Tea Room) seems to well accommodate anyone with children, has fairytales book, and play tea set. I can envision an adorable children's tea party in this space. SERVICE: The service is extremely attentive. Five stars! Our waitress was so kind, efficient, and just generally pleasant. She presented us with a demo of additional desserts for purchase at the end of the dining experience. One of them was Bridgerton-inspired Mille-feuille! We didn't have any more room for desserts, but they looked really elaborate! The owner inquired how our experience was at the end of our afternoon tea as well which felt especially welcoming. SHOP: The tea house has a small shopping area by the entrance. The cutest things are tea cup cards with tea bags! We loved our calm and delicious afternoon tea. We plan to return during nature's more scenic seasons like winter or the vibrant time of fall. I think that the views by the tea house will be unmatched. I have to say that it's one of my best tea house experiences.

It's counter service, but they encourage you to grab a menu, look it over, and order. Great. Advice. It's a nice little spot with WiFi and underrated coffee.

The latte was good but the jalapeno cheddar scone was fantastic. The scone was scipy and while crumbly it was not dry. Now I know I should plan on a to-go order next time.

The staff members were very friendly and one of the members explained how five years ago her sister started this bakery after getting so many baked goods requests. The selections the cafe had varied from healthy salads to quiche to all the baked goods you could ever want. I decided on the pumpkin bread (2 for $5) and honey buttermilk donuts ($3) - both incredibly delicious! Also, at the end of the day, their coffee is free! They offer almond milk as a creamer and have a variety of sweetness too. I highly recommend DC cakes for breakfast, lunch or a snack in between! The welcoming and clean environment as well as the delicious and well priced baked goods and healthy food options is a must!

Victoria's Bakery made my 30th birthday cake and I couldn't have been happier!…read more Starting off, I believe this bakery was priced fairly. I reached out two weeks in advance for my custom order. I was able to easily place a request through their website. Second, their bakery/coffee shop/breakfast/event room is always so clean. It is very organized and they have great seating available within the coffee shop portion of the building. Everyone is professional and kind. They are a cashless business as there was signs that stated they did not accept cash. So bring your card, bestie. The Chocolate cake with Vanilla Buttercream was delicious. The buttercream was sweetened perfectly and did not hurt your teeth (some icings hurt my teeth, not this one!). It is very fresh when refrigerated and was packaged nicely in a to-go carrier upon pickup. Upon pickup, my husband and I ordered from the coffee shop. The hot chocolate was rich and savory. I ordered a dirty ice chai and it was delicious! I will absolutely be back. Support local business, support your local bakery, support Victoria's Bakery!
