Harmony Tea Room
I am very new to tea houses as I just started drinking tea. I had a wonderful experience at one in NYC, so I went online to find tea rooms in Bergen County and found the Harmony Tea room. I tried the place today with my 3 year old daughter and my friend and we all had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. I had the Hospitalitea and she had the Serenitea. Mine came with an extra soup (Corn Chowder) and salad (Goat cheese w/ mixed greens) and we each got a different flavored scone (Cranberry, Oatmeal Raisin), selection of finger Sandwiches (egg Salad, Chicken Salad, Cucumber, beet/carrot, radish) and some sweets (sugar cookie, and 2 other kinds of pastries) with our pot of tea. It was nice that they offered 2 choices for our soup and salad and 3 flavors for the scones. I enjoyed everything I ate. I thought that the portions for each course was perfect as it allowed me to try everything without eating too much. I shared my meal with my daughter (but she didn't eat much) and I felt very satisfied and not stuffed. (I did save my appetite for the place since had an idea beforehand what I was going to order.) My friend was full even without the soup or salad and even didn't have much room for the sweets. My daughter had hot chocolate which was also served in a teapot. I wasn't expecting that and that it was so cute! I had the Chocolate Black Tea and my friend had the Florida Orange Rooibos. Sorry I can't give more information on the actual teas. I looked in the teapot but I can not tell you if they used loose teas or tea bags since I did not see anything in the teapot. I definitely recommend making reservations as they almost had a full house when we went! I thought that the atmosphere was very nice and they had a beautiful selection of plates, tea pots and tea cups. My friend and I really enjoyed the whole experience (and my daughter seemed to too!) We also liked the fact that we could look at the menu beforehand on their web site. I had been looking very forward to trying this place and was not disappointed! In fact, I'm looking forward to my next visit!
