I am a harsh critic, and I rarely give 5-star reviews, but Posh Tea Room definitely deserves it. My party of 7 was personally greeted, and our coats were hung. As we walked in, we were welcomed into a luxurious environment with a pianist performing soothing music. When we sat down, the owner, Laurie Giles, and the server, Donjae, allowed us to learn about the different teas, and we were able to go through a hands-on experience, smelling the calming scents of the different teas. We were able to customize our experiences with the different menus and substitute items if we did not want them. The staff is extremely flexible. The sandwiches were outstanding, the pasties were delicious, and the scones were light and fluffy. We were presented with an assortment of jam and clotted cream for the scones. The tea was delicious, and the teapots were stunning. I would definitely recommend everyone to try Posh Tea Room. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a great experience.

Posh Tea Room is a place where time slows down, and the world outside fades into the background. A true haven for afternoon tea lovers. From the warm aroma of the tea to the delicious taste of finger sandwiches and scones, and the soothing sounds of the piano, you’ll have a lovely time in the posh purpleness.

Monroe meet the European gem known as the Posh Tea Room. The selection of tea is superb and the owner is exceptionally knowledgeable and kind. They are special needs friendly and wheelchair accessible. I cannot say enough about the wonders of this establishment.

An absolute exquisite hidden gem! What a beautiful, bright delight! My friend and I were greeted at the door by the lovely owner (Laurie) who graciously took our coats prior to placing Vincent van Gogh-inspired handbag hooks into our hands, as we were escorted to our reserved table. Delicate live piano music filled the peaceful atmosphere; we gazed at the breathtaking ambiance of beautifully coordinated décor, lovely little crystal chandeliers, and fresh roses. The attention to detail surpassed any tearoom experience we have had before; from the intricate menu displaying a comprehensive listing of a variety of fine teas, to several different afternoon tea treat collections, as well as exploring different tea aromas! Luxurious warm moist towels were presented on a silver platter for our hands. Individual three-tiered plate stands graced our table, filled with the most delectable homemade tea sandwiches, pastries, and scones fresh and warm from the oven. Our teapots were refreshed the moment they began to run low, and our truly delicious afternoon treat collections were customized to our individual needs and dietary restrictions. The genuine warmth of the owner and love for what she does was the finishing touch on an elegant experience we will never forget… and look forward to experiencing again!

I had the most delightful experience at Posh Tea Room! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I was being treated to something truly special. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, perfect for enjoying a relaxing afternoon tea. Laurie, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure that my visit was memorable. She greeted us with a warm welcome, shared the history of the tea, and made personalized recommendations from the menu. Her passion for creating a wonderful experience for every guest is evident in every detail, from the exquisite teas to the delicious freshly baked scones and finger sandwiches.
The staff were friendly and attentive, always checking in to make sure everything was just right. It’s clear they all care deeply about providing top-notch service. Posh Tea Room is the perfect spot for a leisurely tea, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a relaxing escape. I can’t recommend this place enough – Laurie and her team truly go above and beyond! I’ll definitely be back!

A much needed breath of fresh air to the area. Great for an elegant day out, special occasion, or quiet time for yourself.
Please note they appear to be reservation only, so make sure to do that so you are not refused a table.
Pros:
– Adorable vintage tea ware, real silver plate cutlery, white tablecloths
– Quiet atmosphere with nice light
– Tasty food and flavors. Especially the scones! They were fantastic. Not dry at all.
– Can order multiple pots of tea with your meal
– Live piano most Fri-Sundays
– Warm hand towels before your meal
– Very friendly and attentive staff that care about your experience
– Bathroom is stocked with pads, tampons, hand cream, safety pins- very thoughtful
– Coat room for outerwear, umbrellas, etc…
Cons:
– Sandwiches are too small. Probably the tiniest tea sandwich portion I have ever encountered for an Afternoon Tea Service. They look to be 1/4 slivers of a standard square, sliced sandwich bread. And a very thin layer of filling. I think 1/3-1/2 size instead would enable you to enjoy the inventive flavor combinations more and enhance the value of the meal. I wanted more savory to balance the sweet scones and dessert plate.
– Steeping times for teas can vary. The owner understands what temperatures and for how long teas should be steeped, but I’m not sure if all staff knows these details. As a result, one of the teas ordered was oversteeped and bitter. I was not able to remove the tea from the pot to mitigate this, since the tea is put in the pot loose, and not in bags or an infuser. I think having the loose leaf tea in an infuser or bag would allow customers to control how well they would like their tea done. They could take it out or leave it in.
In summary:
I think there is a lot of value here, especially with the live music, but wish the sandwiches were bigger (the scones could be smaller to compensate, if needed). Definitely check it out to support local woman-owned business!

Posh Tea Room is lovely. My friend and I had afternoon tea at 215pm on a Saturday. We were warmly greeted by Donja who answered our questions and quickly delivered our pots of tea. They have black teas and many hand blended herbal tea blends. There are several menus to choose from, I had the summer menu. The tea sandwiches and scones and petit fours, cakes, and lemon bars are all made in house. All were delicious. I loved the lemon bars and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The service is attentive and friendly, and fresh hot pots of tea were offered throughout our meal. The owner, Laurie, was present and chatted with us, happy to accommodate our requests. Laurie shared that there is another room that can accommodate up to 28 people. It’s a nice spot for a birthday party or small wedding or baby shower. I will definitely return, it’s so relaxing to have a leisurely afternoon in an elegant setting with excellent service and tasty treats. My only recommendation is to serve larger amounts of clotted cream, lemon curd, and jams to accompany the delicious warm scones.
