Costello Street Coffee House
Stopped in for tea one day. The prices are a bit high, 2.95 for a tea for one tea pot. They call afternoon tea, 'high tea' which is incorrect. The servers ( except for one) seemed too busy and rushed to properly take care of questions and requests. They did have a large party in that day but a restaurant should be able to take care of all its customer's and make them all feel equally as welcomed and important. I dislike being made to order at the counter and would rather have a server come to the table. I have to order at the counter at Panera's I shouldn't expect to at a lovely tea room. I did not eat the food, but it looked and smelled wonderful. The decor was lovely and sparingly decorated which I appreciated since that sparseness and the lack of chintz (thank you!) made it more gender neutral and appealing. I can't abide a tearoom that looks like a shrine to Laura Ashley! Costello's needs to be more attentive to their customers, dress better,( I know it's Colorado, but you're in the service industry dress up a bit), and eliminate the at-the-counter ordering.

MaryEllen's Victorian Tea Room
Don't waste your money. The treatment you receive by the owner of the tearoom (it's in her home)cannot be over shadowed with tasty treats and tea. Mary Ellen is rude and acts a bit burned out and 'over' the whole tea thing. She insulted a number of people in our party. I will never go back.

The House of Commons
My friend and I had a wonderful time here. The owner served us and she was very pleasant and a delight to talk to. The food was plentiful and we each had our own tea pot and refills. I wish there was a house of commons here in Colorado Springs.
