"Located right outside of Philly in Delaware County, the Painted Tea Cup is a Victorian-style tea room and boutique. Thursdays through Saturdays, the British-inspired shop offers high tea reservations, loose-leaf retail teas, and house-made jellies and fruit butters. On warmer days you can enjoy a la carte tea services on the shaded outdoor patio. Headed to a fancy tea party? Dress the part with accessories like galleria umbrellas and fascinators from the boutique." - Esra Erol, Ayannah Kamryn

What a lovely day my mom and I had celebrating her 90th Birthday! Special thanks to Mary, Bernadette, and Susan for making this a memorable day! The food was amazing, such a nice variety of tasty treats on our plate. This was my first time experiencing High Tea and I just loved it! The boutique has lovely accessories and clothing. The house itself is charming and beautiful. During these stressful times, this is the perfect place to relax and recharge and enjoy your favorite tea and delicious food selections. Thanks Again!

I have driven by this establishment for years, and finally visited a few days ago. The interior is very dainty and cute, it would be a nice place to shop for a gift. High tea is $33 a person, and you each get a choice of tea, a lunch plate, and a dessert plate. I personally would have liked a more robust selection of teas, but their selection (although limited) is still quite good. The tea menu had 1 black tea, 1 no-caffeine black tea blend, 1 green tea, 1 earl grey white tea, 1 rooibos tea. The lunch plate had about 7-8 items, includes a scone, a sweet bread, and a chicken salad croissant. The dessert plate had 3 mini desserts. They also served a tea biscuit at the beginning of the tea session. I wish they served more jam and clotted cream since the serving they gave was for the table and not an individual serving. Overall, I think it was a very good experience. I think the quality of the food is top-notch, I just personally think the quantity could have been increased for the price, since they serve bites rather than full servings. I would be open to visiting again for their seasonal offerings next season.

I had the pleasure of visiting this cute spot for a "solo" afternoon tea. The tea was delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the finger sandwiches and sweets. While the scone wasn't the best that I ever had, as I prefer biscuit-like scones, it was still good. They sell a lot of tea accessories and even boutique-style clothing. It was worth the hour drive, and I would absolutely recommend it.

1st time here, while making the reservation...I told them I limit my yeast intake, but I am NOT a vegan or gluten-free. They listed me as Vegan anyway and gave those options, which were very few. I kept clarifying that I was not a vegan throughout my time here and had to request the regular desert options. The vegan/vegetarian option for lunch was a massive salad of "random vegetables thrown together, and a Mango dressing." If you are a vegan or vegetarian, be aware that they do not have many options as they are not catering to your demographic but merely tolerating it. If you have food sensitives or allergies, PLEASE be very specific and repetitive about them before and after arrival. Overall, the food was good and the tea was great but some improvement is needed.

Everyone there is so kind, the food is amazing! The gluten free accommodations are wonderful. We bought the tea before we left because of how much we loved it. 10/10 recommend.

I took my 7 year old God Daughter for a tea party and it was simply beautiful. Nicely decorated and they give you a plate filled with sandwiches, scones, jellies, etc. a very nice experience !

So cute! I don’t know why this the first tie I have been here but this place is adorable. Ladies, it’s tea time! Bring your friends! I will say that there could be more tea options for that price. Two tea choices🤔 I would say 3 or 4 choices per party would be more appropriate for the price. Otherwise, love everything else!!!! The tea sandwiches, Yum! Especially the one with the pickled radish! And the little cookies! My pinky is coming out just thinking about that delightful experience. Love it! Thank you!
