Miss Minerva's Tea Room & Gift Shop
I have a daughther getting married this fall and we didn't want a 'traditional' wedding shower - we wanted something unique. This Tea House offered that experience and it was absolutely WONDERFUL. I doubt I will be able to express how helpful, thoughtful and considerate Joan and Sharon were when we were making arrangements. They worked every detail of this 'Bridal Tea' to make it the most exquisite and delicious experience for our 27 guests. The decor of Tea, Lace and Roses is very fashionable! From the menu 'English Tea' was selected for our guests and a couple of 'Wee Tea's' for the children. Both had excellent presentation, the scones were wonderful, assorted finger sandwiches and savories were delectable! The desserts melted in your mouth. I could go on about the food, but alas the tea was the reason the establishment was selected - I don't think I can recall the number of teas we were offered to select from and smell! There were so many offered, the choice was difficult. The tea selections made for our occasion were: Darjeeling, Earl Grey, White Tip Oolong and Temple of Heaven. Sharon made the occasion special by demonstrating her knowledge of the teas that were selected and on tea etiquette. She is quite charming, an excellent conversationalist and very knowledgeable. Joan helped work out all of the finite details...to include rose cupcakes (drizzled with soft pink icing), a champagne toast (from the bridal party) and biscotti dipped in chocolate for our guests! I don't think I could possibly do justice to this establishment in singing it praises. If you enjoy a great cup of tea, served in traditional spirit...in an inviting environment with wonderful hotesses, then you will enjoy Tea, Lace and Roses. We did and we will be back. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU ~ for making our special occasion as memorable as possible. Special thank you from the Bride-to-be (Earlene) and the Bridal Party (Jackie, Laura and Beth)! IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!
