I love coming here. The food is always good. The tea blends are always delightful. I enjoy the ambiance of this old house. The decor is gorgeous. Me and my friends come here as often as we can to enjoy this tea house.
I've been quite a few times. Sometimes with just me and my partner, sometimes with large groups. We love to get dressed up, sometimes with themes and very fanciful costumes. Our experience is always good, the staff is super polite and lovely. We adore coming here.

Cute old house, great scones, variety of desserts and tea sandwiches. It's not a super fancy one, but it's delightful and the price is well set for this particular experience.

We just did our second curbside pick-up. This time it was for my wife's birthday. The afternoon tea was excellent. The scones are large and light. Combine these with the cream and lemon curd and strawberry jam and what more could you want. The cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad with almonds and the ham with orange were delicious. We finished with the multiple sweet desserts. We ate at home with music and sunlight. We are anxious to return to eat in the dining room as we have in the past.

I took my husband to the Tea Trolley for a Father's Day treat. We had impeccable service and a wonderful time. The scones were the best we have ever had anywhere and were made more special by the clotted cream, lemon curd and strawberry jam. We loved the little tea sandwiches including the exciting mango, cheddar ones. The four tiny desserts were fabulous. Great Job. Looking forward to our next visit.

My mother-in-law and I visited for the first time today. Everything was perfect from the hostess to the food and gift shop. It was a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. We loved that we could get a two cup pot of tea, which allowed us to try more teas than if we had a pot. The food was excellent and the scones were still out of the oven warm by the time we ate them. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

I always love going to the Tea Trolley in Delta, PA. The sweet and savory offerings are delicious. The scones are home made and so light and delicious I always try to buy the extras before leaving. My Mom and I have been for multiple occaisions and always enjoyed ourselves. Don't miss this charming tea house.

Victorian home, beautifully decorated. Relaxed atmosphere in the country. Excellent selections of teas, biscuits, sandwiches, soups, and desserts for a formal or casual tea

The Tea Trolley is a beautiful traditional setting to enjoy afternoon tea. The service is as wonderful as the tea. The delicious food prepared on the premesis is as appetizing to look at as it is to eat. Many people at my table were taking some desserts to eat at home but I devoured every morsel! It will definitely be a new place to invite my family to join me for tea.

Overall, the food and service is fantastic and the setting is perfect for a tea room. One minor issue I have.
Last time I was there, they did not have any herbal (caffeine free) teas, although they do offer decaf teas. However, since I cannot have any caffeine, I was disappointed. I will have to bring my own tea bags in future visits.

My friends and I like to celebrate our birthdays visiting local tea houses. We recently celebrated during the Chocolate Valentine tea. Everything was delicious and the variety satisfied all of our tastes. I am eager to return on a regular day and not just a special event. The tea house is beautiful and the service was good.

I went to tea with friends and family and the people here were so generous and so kind to my friends and I. They were very helpful in selection of teas and their extensive knowledge of the teas proved helpful for all of us. The quality of service experienced at this establishment is beyond excellent. Their teas are remarkably delicious and the prices are very reasonable-almost too good of a deal! I will be visiting this estalishment on a regular basis.

Went to a wedding shower. The atmospere was wonderful. The service was great and the food delicious. The scones and lemon curd and desserts were melt in your mouth delicious. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to celebrate a special event. Or just spend a quiet afternoon with a loved one. The place is a valuable asset to our little town of Delta. I do plan on going back again.

The Tea Trolley has become my favorite place to relax over tea with my girlfriends. Rachel and her staff are simply the best. The tea menu includes a nice selection of white, green, and black loose leaf as well as special/seasonal tea blends. Additionally, Rachel's scones are fabulous.

The Tea Trolley went over and beyond my expectations for my Daughter’s Bridal Shower.
The women that arrived to serve the tea and goodies were so professional and caring. They made sure the tea cup never went to the bottom, they were on their game. They also worked so hard delivering the food and all the different types of teas. They were on time and delivered everything they said they would and MORE! If you are looking for someone to cater an event/tea for you, this is YOUR PLACE! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
The Owner, Rachel, knows her teas and her place is charming to go there and have lunch with some girlfriends or just a cute get away with your daughter, regardless of age.
The Tea Trolley makes you feel so special, so girlie! It’s doesn’t hurt the food is excellent too!
Tea Trolley, I ADORE YOU! Thank you for making my daughter’s special day a beautiful memory for her and the guests that attended….
THANK YOU~THANK~YOU THANK YOU

Very enjoyable but would like to mention that if adults choose to be below a childs birthday , they should realize children are noisy and very excitable. The parties for children are organized well and very pretty set up

I truly enjoyed my afternoon with friends at this lovely tearoom. Service was excellent and the variety of tea and food was appealing to number of tastes. I have recommended this location to others. One I referred to this location had a wonderful experience with her young daughter's birthday tea party. I am looking forward to having my future daughter-in-law's bridal shower at this location or catered by Tea Trolley in my home.

I took my mom here today for her 68th birthday and it could not have been more perfect! I took my six and eight-year-old daughters and they loved it too! The home is gorgeous, the tea service was lovely and the food was fantastic. We have been to many tea houses and this one had the best scones I have ever had. We highly recommend the quiche also. Thank you to the Tea Trolley owner, Rachel and the staff for making this a wonderful birthday present so special. I will be back and I am bringing friends. Lovely day at a lovely place.

The service was great. The atmosphere was ok. We were disapointed in the food. However the soup was great. Deserts had no flavor. the sandwiches were slim on the fillings.

My husband and I visited The Tea Trolley August 29th. This was not our first visit nor will it be our last.I really enjoy going there for the high tea. It is a very relaxing place, delicious food and presentation, and can't forget to mention the BEST scones I have ever had! My husband especially liked being able to try a couple different teas:) The owner Rachel provided excellant service and it lovely to talk with as well. Looking forward to my next visit:)

What a pleasure to have tea when it's done so beautifully! Every time I come to The Tea Trolley I know what I will find- scrumptious food, personal service, and a lovely time all in the perfect setting- talk about ambience! I've been for an afternoon out with friends, the holiday teas, and also for private parties- we just love it there!

We had a great time at Tea Trolley. The food was delicious and a wonderful selection of teas. The desserts were excellent. The owner spent time with us giving the history of the house and inviting us to tour the other rooms. We will definitely be returning.

I am a server as well as a frequent customer at The Tea Trolley. I love to bring my friends and family to tea and show off the business I proudly work for! Speaking as a customer, I love the huge selection of whole leaf teas (I've been here a year and still haven't tried them all!) as well as the always delicious soup, sandwiches, and deserts. The house is historic and beautiful, and the tea experience is straight from the owners upbringing in England. No matter where I go in life, I will continue to come to tea at The Tea Trolley and show my support to the amazing owner and my good friend Mrs. Rachael :)

Just finished our tea at the Tea Trolley this afternoon and I couldn't wait to express to all what a wonderful experience it was. From the delicious hot teas, to the 'melt in your mouth' scones, followed by soup and a varied selection of sandwiches/desserts--we were never disappointed. Looking forward to a return visit soon!

Barbara
The Tea Trolley is a totally delightful place to enjoy a wonderful tea. Rachel and her staff are most accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable and not to stiff and formal.
Very nice selection of tasty whole leaf teas served in lovely china pots.
The food is delightful....the scones arrive right from the oven and are just as good as you can get. The artfully prepared sweets and sandwiches are delicious.
All in all The Tea Trolley is a wonderful way to spend some fun time with your friends while enjoying a very nice tea.

Having sampled the top tea rooms in NJ, I am amazed this tea house is not rated as one of PA's finest...Each course was a winner - from the soup to the sweets...the scones were moist and delicious - the best I have ever had...the service was delightful and friendly...lovely atmosphere and plenty of room to move around between tables...you won't be disappointed...since I live in NJ, I am trying to figure out a way to pass by again!!!

I was at Tea Trolley Saturday afternoon with two friends. Everything was excellent. We had back porch tea, both hot and cold. We was delicious! Everything was delicious and plentiful. Rachel and her servers are so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back!

A dear friend and I attended the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Tea on June 2 at The Tea Trolley. We enjoyed a delicious five-course tea including soup, savory, tea sandwiches, scones, and desserts. The beautiful Victorian tea room was decorated for the occasion, and the guests were stylist hats. It was truly a delightful afternoon. I have visited more than 20 tea rooms over the past few years, the The Tea Trolley is my favorite. The food is exquisitely prepared, and Rachael's scones are the very best!! Thank you, Rachael, for providing us with this special little haven where we can retreat for a short time from our busy routines.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Excellent food, service, atmosphere, and tea selection. Feels like you have stepped back in time..a wonderful experience. Carefully thought out menus and teas. They sell a wide assortment of loose teas, such as Chocolate Raspberry Truffle..yummy! Homemade scones and lemon curd is so good. You will not be disappointed.

My family and I have been to afternoon tea at the Tea Trolley several times and we have enjoyed every visit! From the beautiful house and decor, to the lovely china tea cups, saucers and beautiful tea pots, to the delicious food - everything was perfect! Service is terrific and always with a smile. Rachael's scones are the best!

Rachael and her staff are so nice and accommodating. Rachael has done a wonderful job decorating the Tea Trolley house (Victorian). As soon as you enter through the front door you are hit with the delicious aromas emanating from her kitchen. Visit The Tea Trolley soon, you will not be disappointed.

I have been to two specialty teas at The Tea Trolley this year, and thy were both OUTSTANDING!!! My daughter trated me to Mother's Day Tea, and I treated her to the Christmas Tea. We are now looking forward to the Valentine's Tea.

Beth Schmitt
Our group went for the Christmas tea; they offered a special Holiday/Christmas blend tea, a peppermint tea blend and plain black tea. Each were very good; the peppermint tea was an excellent choice with dessert. The food was plentiful and very tasty. The scones and lemon curd were excellent. They had no problem with a Gluten free option and it was excellent. Our gluten-free friend was very pleased with her choice and she stated that all of her food was exceptionally good. Service was very good, even though the place was packed. The overall atmosphere was very Victorian Christmas. They used various china patterns and pots which gave the experience a hint of whimsy. We were downstairs in an open room with other tables, but it was still quiet enough to have a conversation. I love the fact that you could purchase the teas that were offered at your meal. I purchased the Christmas/Holiday tea. You certainly got your money worth here.
We can wait to return..very enjoyable & relaxing.

My 30 year old daughter and I went to the Harvest Tea on Saturday. It was our first time at the Tea Trolley, but will definitely not be the last. What a lovely location and the food was superb. I've been to tea at the Plaza and the food wasn't nearly as good! The servers were delightful and knowledgable. We really enjoyed the teas that we chose. We already made our Christmas reservations and I'm going back with a friend this week.

Today was my first visit to The Tea Trolley. It was a most wonderful experience and one I hope to repeat often. Our party of 11 had a room to ourselves. The only downside was that it was a very hot day and the room, even though air conditioned, was a bit warm. Howeever, the delicious teas, finger sandwiches, scones and desserts more than made up for this slight discomfort I live in a very rural area where delightful excursions are few and far between. I would highly recommend The Tea Trolley to anyone who wants a 'close to home afternoon get away'.

Excellent tea room! The warm scones were so good and the clotted creme just melted in your mouth. Rachel was an excellent hostess. Well worth the beautiful drive to southern PA.

We had eighteen Red Hat Ladies for a Saturday Afternoon Tea. The food was plentiful and delicious, with friendly, efficient service. We were able to enjoy a leisurely afternoon. But our favorite part of the tea was the moist, fluffy scones. Our group has visited quite a few tea rooms, and these scones were the best we've had. We will definitely make a return visit.

Mary Ann Sadler
Two friends and I visited The Tea Trolley on 3/27. My mother and I visited on 3/31. The service was excellent both times. The potato soup was very delicious & the sandwiches & desserts were perfectly prepared & arranged. My mother had been to a tearoom in a nearby town, and she mentioned that The Tea Trolley was much nicer. She was also impressed by the abundance of sandwiches and desserts offered in the Full Tea; we had plenty to bring home! Thank you for a lovely afternoon. We will definitely be visiting The Tea Trolley again very soon.

My friend and I LOVED the Tea Trolley. We've already decided to have future parties there and have recommended it to everyone we know! I don't know much about tea and typically don't like tea, but I loved every thing I tried. We had the full afternoon tea and everything was phenominal

Janet Germeroth
My friend and I enjoyed our tea from beginning to end. The decor is lovely....lots of light with beautiful lace curtains at the big, old windows! The table settings were very pretty. Our food was graciously and cheerfully served to us and was absolutely delicious! There are very pretty rooms in the upstairs to accommodate private, larger parties, as well as an adorable room for a child's tea party! I highly recommend The Tea Trolley. Also, the gift shop had some very lovely and quaint gifts all reasonably priced.

I have been to this tea room several times and have not been disappointed. The service is immediate and gracious; a very attentive staff. The fruited and chocolate chip scones are the best I have ever had; no exception! And always served piping hot. Only loose leaf tea is served; many varieties and the tea pot is bottomless with the high tea. The food is excellent. The atmosphere is Victorian; both simplistic and inviting. I most recently attended their special Valentine's Tea and it was exceptional; every element of the tea was excellent. I am returning again soon and am looking forward to many visits in the future.

My mom, a friend, and I visited Rees Manor on a Thursday for my mom's birthday. Everything was wonderful, the food, the service, I especially liked the matching plate, teacup and saucer at each place setting. We were seated at a window and I could have stayed all day and enjoyed the music and relaxing atmosphere. We will definately be back.

Visited on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 with the Hooper-Hushon family. Loved it! Everyone was so nice and the tea & food was lovely. I've never been to a 'tea' before so thank you for a very enjoyable first time. Have already told friends & family to visit. Plan on visiting again. Thanks!!!

I recently attended a lovely tea catered by The Tea Trolley. The presentation was beautiful, and our servers were very gracious. The tea sandwiches, sweets, and scones were delicious. Everything was very fresh and homemade. Our tea was brewed to perfection and served piping hot. We dined on English bone china, and the tea time delicacies were presented on three-tiered silver stands. I would highly recommend The Tea Trolley for any group that wants to experience an authentic English afternoon tea.
