What an adorable tea shop in Henderson! If I could give Queen of Hearts 100 stars, I would.
I treated my mom to an afternoon tea date on 7/14/24 at 2:00pm. Reservations are required (book online or by phone) and booking one is very simple. You just enter your name, phone number, email address, your choice of a traditional or vegan menu, and reason for visit. After you book online, you will get a confirmation saying that your booking is complete and that they will get back to you. You will be able to pay in advance, so they will contact you and ask for your payment information.
When we walked in, we were greeted by a cute Alice in Wonderland-style ambiance and some very friendly ladies working there. Before we were guided to our table, we were given a short tour of the place, which took about a minute or two. We were shown a small kitchen, a room with wearable hats and sunglasses that are perfect to post on the Gram, and finally, the bathroom. Afterwards, we were guided to our table, where a nice, little welcome sign with my name on it was placed.
Our course started with several herbal tea choices. For our first tea course, I chose a cranberry orange herbal tea and my mom had a vanilla apple herbal tea. The cranberry orange tea was absolutely delicious, but I think it had more of that cranberry flavor than that orange flavor. I think I had about three cups of this before it was time for the second tea course. My mom said that the vanilla apple tea was amazing. As I'm that someone that has never really drank tea in their life, I think I've now opened a palate door for this specific type of drink.
Next up was the food course. We were given several different food choices, mainly scones and lunch items. We were given two scones each, which were sweet and savory. The sweet scones had chocolate chip and cranberry pieces inside, while the savory scones, called apricot rosemary, kind of had the texture and taste of cheesy bread. Numerous spreads were also offered, such as jelly, marmalade, and clotted cream. Afterwards, we were given plates of lunch items and other dessert items. Here, their selections were roasted turkey & pepperjack sandwich, where the bread was shaped like playing cards, egg salad with paprika sprinkled on toast, cucumber and herb cheese, and Mediterranean pasta salad. I tried the turkey & pepperjack sandwich and the egg salad and both were magnificent. My mom also had the egg salad and tried the cucumber and herb cheese, commenting that these were excellent lunch options for her.
Afterwards, we were given a ton of yummy desserts, such as a berry tart, a chocolate mousse cup, a cream puff shaped like a rabbit, checkerboard squares, a Sin City kiss that melts in your mouth, playing card cookies, and a raspberry spritz. I actually had to take some of these home with me because I was already full from their lunch items. We were then ready for our second tea course, where this time I had a tea that had a Hawaiian name to it, unfortunately I don't remember the name, and my mom had the Mate Latte tea, which had some caffeine in it.
Before we left, we decided to have a little fun with their hats and glasses. We took a bunch of pictures with these novelty items on their big red throne located in the back of the shop. Some of these items are also available for purchase if you want one of your own, including stickers and tiny mushrooms.
We had such a great time at Queen of Hearts that we want to come back here again. We look forward to our eventual return!
