The selection of teas available was unbelievable. Making the choices more special was the great resource provided describing the specifics of each tea. So many unique flavors! The towers displayed food that was ample and every single thing was delicious, from start to finish. There was a special lemon curd served at the very end, plated in a half lemon, which was awesome.

Please arrive early so that you'll have ample time to find parking and walk to the venue incase you're not lucky enough to find close parking. When our party of five entered, we just milled around for a bit in front of the door until a hostess greeted us. It was a bit awkward, especially since there is no waiting area. Soon, we were warmly greeted and seated. Our hostess began giving us information but we couldn't hear her because her voice was soft and there are many people enjoying conversations at their own table. The noise level is medium, which is fine. I just wish she would have spoken up. You will not know the ingredients of the items that you will be served before-hand which could potentially be bad for those with allergies. When were served our tier of food, there was an insect in our food. I was shocked when the hostess began using her fingers in the food to try and fish out the rapidly moving insect. I quietly suggested that she bring us a fresh tier of food. I guess she was just following her first instinct to "get the bug". A fresh tier of food was brought, but honestly, the scones tasted stale. The bread on the finger sandwiches wasn't very fresh either. Some of the desserts had a strong artificial taste. Overall, the food was surprisingly underwhelming, and some offerings were tasteless and not very fresh. I received the wrong tea and it took a long time to get that corrected. We were instructed to turn our teapot lid over if we wanted more tea, but it seemed to be a futile effort since no one was coming to check on us. I literally had to raise my hand to get attention for our party of 5 on multiple occasions. The table decor was beautiful and thoughtful. There were a good variety of teas offered. I don't think I'll return.

It was a nice break in the summer heat. The service is great. I ordered an iced matcha, a little too grassy tasting for me. I asked for sweetener and surprised I was offered sweet and low and not a more natural non sugar like stevia. They do have honey though. I am definitely returning and trying the flavored iced teas and the food looks enticing as well. Very creative tea selection.

What a deliciously enchanting tea…read moreexperience superlative to all other tea experiences that have come before, and there have been many. You see, I really don't like going for tea or well, it's more the spending a lot of good money on tea and ridiculous fingerling sandwiches and stale confectionary bits and such. I just don't ...but when you get a prescription for happiness, you fill it. And so, as it were, I've been to enough tea places to drown myself a few times over in tea and well, I'm often unhappy with the value. Lots of places like to cheat. So, I digress, of all the teas I've been to in all the years, I place this tea among the highest. Many thanks for creating a place where I can enjoy the experience as if I had been the purveyor myself. Well done.

5 Stars for a beautifully curated gift and decor shop, private event space, and design studio!…read more I've walked by Eyre a few times, but finally made it in today and left with some goodies! The shop is gorgeous and has everything from hand-painted Moroccan tea glassware, to home decor, to bar accessories, to children's gifts, to a "Tea Room" private event space that looks straight out of a picture book. From perusing their website I see that they also offer custom home design services and that you can book the Tea Room for private events. I really appreciated seeing that along with the classics, Eyre features local children's book authors (including Zoey's Adventures to the Ice Cream Shop, a personal fave!). They also had some caps and sweaters with ORL or WP embroidery. Finally, the giant woven light fixture shades are reminding me of Bali in all the best ways! I got to chat with the owner, Kelly, as I checked out and she was a pleasure! Great little shop that has something for everyone! (Including the Everlasting Candles - a perfect gift for your difficult to shop for friend!)
