My granddaughters and I had a lovely time. The decor was classy and inviting. We enjoyed the food, which was presented nicely and was delicious! We will be back! Front Porch is my favorite tearoom!

It was a wonderful time. Our server was incredible, we never felt rushed, she was funny and personable but not pushy or too much. The teas were delicious, we tried 6 or 7 varieties. The outdoor area was beautiful, we had a great view of the garden and flowers. The gift shop is well organized with a good variety of reasonably priced stuff, it was cool to go through and check everything out. The food was delicious, and our bill for two was $120- the five course meals, all the teas, a couple small things from the gift shop, and what I hope was a nice tip for our server. Extremely reasonable for an incredible night out.

The entire experience was wonderful. I took my parents and my son as a belated Christmas gift for my mom and son. It was a unique time and such a quaint and adorable location. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to going again! They were very considerate of my mom having diabetes and were caring and informative to make sure her experience was great. I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was!

This was my first time at your tea room. It was a very pleasant experience. A bit on the noisy side (not sure how you could improve on that). The scone, salad, soup, and dessert were delicious. I was a bit disappointed in the three sandwiches. The one with cucumbers was good, but the other two didn't impress me. Our waitress was great. She was efficient and answered all our questions. We wanted to buy your excellent salad dressing, but you didn't have any available. Disappointing. I plan to come again.

The food was excellent and freshly prepared. The server was friendly and there was a game to play and the guest at our table who answered correctly won a packet of tea and one of our party won! It was my birthday and I was also given a packet of loose leaf tea of my choice. We were disappointed that, in between courses of the scones, soup and tea sandwiches, we were not offered clean plates and even when we asked for a clean plate after the soup was sitting on crumbs of the scones unsteadily, we were told there were no extra plates even though empty tables beside us had full place settings to include plates not being used. Also, when we asked for a new pot of tea, if we had remaining tea from the last flavor, even though it was cold we either had to drink it or pour the new tea on top of it. We were never offered a clean tea cup between tea if we had remaining tea. The ambience was great and there was a garden in the back where we were able to take great pictures to commemorate the day.
