Pinecone Cottage Tea House
I had the joy of having tea twice at the Pinecone Cottage this Christmas season. First time was a mother-daughter tea...the service was excellent, selections superb for both the moms and the 9-10 year old daughters and everyone had a great time. Based on that experience I brought two out of town girlfriend's to an afternoon tea service. It was even better! The care and joy they have for the tea is amazing--they explain all the available teas to you in detail, the menu (which changes monthly) has seasonally appropriate food and it is all fantastic! And the setting is really sweet...a truly great experience! Two other notes: while this was afternoon tea, there are 3-4 generous courses, so it will really fill you up. And also, the store owners are really good to the Downers Grove community. In the summer, the owners will frequently put out a cart in front of their store with free homegrown vegetables; and at Halloween when kids in DG can trick or treat at the downtown stores, Pine Cone cottage always has a gourmet spread out for all to partake of, for free. Great service, amazing food and tea and caring community members...Pine Cone Cottage is awesome!
