    This is a very cute place in old town Spring, TX. I took my 7 year old granddaughter for tea. It was $25 for her and $35 for me for a couple finger sandwiches, tea and small desserts and scones. The scones were choc full of raisins which are a no for both my granddaughter and I. They gave us some blueberry and white chocolate ones that were so sickeningly sweet. We couldn't eat either option. Next time, we'll just order off the menu. Out server was very nice and accommodating, but I think they should give you a heads up on what type of scones they have. Even the macaroons were sooooo sweet!

    Ok, let's begin. The ambiance is tea room style. It is a great place to have tea and tea parties. Reservations are required to ensure you have seating. Note: reservation slots fill up fast and you can only reserve up to 30 days in advance. You can book a private room and there are two rooms to choose from depending on size of party. Food - 4 stars The menu is simple but the taste is delightful. We had the chicken and grilled chicken sandwich. Tip: If you want a bigger portion , opt for the grilled chicken sandwich. The tomato soup was thick, creamy, and delicious. The scones were biscuit size infused with lavender or lemon. They had a sweet taste that wasn't overpowering. Customer service - 4 stars Our waitress was nice and attentive. She constantly checked on us and was great. Price - 3-4 dollar signs Here is where $100 went 1- grilled sandwich plate 1- grilled cheese & tomato soup 1- large kettle of hot tea 2- order of scones 1- order of the delicious bread & olive oil Cleanliness- 3 stars Restroom - 3 stars There are two restrooms available. One is large and the other is small (perfect for a thin person or children ). Unfortunately, the larger restroom was not working so there was a challenge for some of the guests to access the smaller one. Overall it was clean.

    We had our friends in from out of town and decided to reserve a table for the valentines tea at The Tea Kettle Cafe. Amazing! Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. It was as authentic a high tea can be without being in England. We had our choice of 4 teas our choices were Gossimer, butterbeer, twinkle and black cherry.. after a bit of our two towers of small bites including egg salad, spinach croquettes, veggie sushi, tomato and goat cheese and so much more. The top tier had chocolate dipped strawberries, cannolis, cherry cookies.. all to die for. Service outstanding Would do this again and would recommend for anyone wanting an awesome experience at this whimsical little place.

    Came here on a recent afternoon for a tea service/lunch. A table had been reserved for our party of 4 (3 adults and one child), and the staff was waiting for us when we arrived. Lovely little cafe with uniquely-painted walls and an eclectic collection of china and tea cups at your table. Service was good, but at times the one server did look as if she was taking care of everyone that had stopped by in addition to us. Quite a few of the tables were occupied, and she appeared to be running back and forth between them . . . Teas were delicious. I had an iced ginger peach tea (not really a hot tea drinker) and I was very pleased with it. No sugar needed on this iced tea since the flavor stands out by itself and, in my opinion, would be marred by any additions. Finger sandwiches, scones and mini desserts were beautifully arranged. I seemed to be drawn to the finger sandwiches, and each one I had was very good - yes, there was quite a variety, too. Others in my party jumped at the scones (not a fan); I could tell they were thoroughly enjoyed since all of them disappeared in no time! Mini desserts were nice, too: small cheesecakes, mini cream puffs and a sweet bread. The cream puffs (the only dessert I tried) were nicely done. A charming afternoon tea and lunch that all of us enjoyed.

    I just had my 65th birthday party there. It was very nice. They offered a package and also the cranberry mimosas were very good. They offered an array of sandwiches as well as desserts and scones

    Gabby our server was sweet and attentive. We were behind time and came in an hour before close but felt glad to get a quick meal. It was quickly taken care of and we got to enjoy it without feeling rushed. The hazy chai was so yummy. I will come back so I can try some delicious desserts.

    Not sure if it was the owner herself or just a manager but she was very rude to both servers and customers. Thankfully I could tip the server cash instead of on the ipad with her , just hope they don't split tip at the end of it since all she did was sit behind the counter and talk loudly over it to customers or to the waitresses Apart from that , the tea options are insane , anything you can think of was offered ! The food itself did not look good , both online and for nearby customers. The scone was stale and hard to break with the spoon given Loved the atmosphere and decor , will probably be back with my mother in law !

    So, I will start by saying that I have now been to this location a couple of times and our first…read moreexperience was the best of them and I will say that the service that we received the first time was the absolute best we have had in a while. Our waitress was Zoe and she set the bar high! As soon as we were seated Zoe hurried to our table to take our drink orders and since it was our first time, she gave us a little history about the restaurant and walked us through the menu and her favorites, she even offered us a tour of the place. I was truly amazed by the attention she gave us. The food came out extra hot and fresh I ordered the Double Cut Pork Chop 18oz, my hubby had the New York Strip 14oz and my daughter had Sliders from the kid's menu. The Pork Chop was so juicy, tender and full of flavor, I just loved the smokey flavor. The steak was made to his liking and was also juicy a thick cut and the mashed potatoes paired with these entrees are some of the best I have had. The whiskey cake was moist and you could definitely taste the whiskey in it, yum! Ambiance, this place was neat it almost felt like an experience. Zoe mentioned that the place had original hardwood floors since the place opened and was the only establishment near the railroad during the 1900s. The restaurant has multiple floors and plenty of seating. There is always plenty of parking, even if you have to walk a block or two, but they do have paid parking around the corner. We obviously enjoyed this restaurant so much we have returned multiple times, but nobody has topped Zoe's customer service.

    This is an iconic restaurant in a historic building. It is full of personality and has a great…read morestaff. If you pay attention to the daily specials, you can do really well in terms of value. Sunday's pork chop dinner for $19 is regularly priced at $42, for example. (Please see my photo of the daily specials board.) That said, this former bordello does have some downsides, which I need to mention: First, it is too loud -- nothing sound-absorbing in the place, and the jazz music recording was turned up the day we were there. This caused communication problems with the waiter, who misheard me, and I really couldn't hear what he was saying. This is not an intimate spot for deep conversations. Second, parking is a challenge. No parking lot. There are some spaces across the street along the railroad tracks, but not enough. I parked on the other side of the tracks and hiked over the rails, but that is a little dangerous. There are some $ 5-a-day parking lots up the road. Is the pork chop better than Perry's? I liked the mashed potatoes, and the meat was properly prepared for sure, but the seasoning was not exactly right for me -- I think they added cinnamon, though my wife thinks it was allspice, and a hint of sugar. An East Texas sort of flavor--I prefer Perry's. But a close second for sure. Allec, I can't find your card, so I know I am spelling your name wrong, but you were a great waiter, and so I am giving this shack a 5.
