My wife and I enjoy exploring tea rooms when we travel, and we selected A Tea Affair on this trip. This was our 13th Tea Room. We were very disappointed in the experience. First of all, we walked in, and no one greeted us or told us where to sit. I looked around and saw my name on a table so we sat ourselves there. Our table was missing one tea cup, a dish for my used tea bag, and a spoon. We explored the website before coming, which helped us choose this place, and we were excited to try many teas. When we opened the tea menu, there were only 12 listed even though they have over 600 in their retail shop a few doors down the street. We prefer scented black teas, and they had only one listed. My wife ordered it and they brought her a green tea. When we asked about it, they said they were out of it. There were only one or two choices in each tea category, but no white teas were on the menu. The food was hit or miss. The scone was warm but more of a cake than the scones we are used to. They served it with lemon curd only. Every other tea room serves scones with curd and cream. I only use the cream on my scones. The quiche had potatoes in it, which is a filler we have not had in a quiche before. 3 of the 4 sandwiches were not very good. The capers ovpowered the egg salad. The lemon pepper was an odd twist on the cucumber sandwich. The spinach artichoke tasted like it came from a jar. I enjoyed the tomato mozzarella sandwich. The desserts were good, but the chocolate torte seemed to be store bought and not house made. The tea service was more expensive than others we have enjoyed, and with the limited tea selection and average food, we were underwhelmed.

I called and left a phone message asking for a return call. Never got one. I own and manage a business and Not returning a message speaks volumes in regards to customer service. It is hard to think that I would spend my money with a company that can't return a phone call.

I called this morning looking for a quick reservation. They were able to fit us in. I explained it was a 16th birthday celebration for me niece and our other plans fell thru. We drove an hour and a half and it was worth it. The town its in Lititz was a quaint little town. The 2 ladies at this tea room were lovely. The food was delicious and they eve brought out a little cupcake for me niece. I could go on and on. I definitely will recommend and I will definitely go back.
