Um, I'm a guy so I'll preface this review by saying The Cobblestone Cottage is not the type of place I would typically go and this kinda food isn't what I normally would pick to eat (my tastebuds normally point me to Korean fried chicken or Hawaiian food)... but to my surprise, the small curry sandwich and cucumber sandwich were both tasty! TBH I used to make fun of the thought of cucumber sandwiches... but I admit they taste good. Pretty light and refreshing.
I'm clearly not an expert on High Tea, and last weekend was the first time I ever experienced it.
My elderly mother kept wishing she could revisit London for the experience of having High Tea. Instead, we decided to search for various places in Vegas that offer high tea service - and this place was the best place we found off the strip.
Let me get straight to the point and tell you that my mom really LOVED her visit to The Cobblestone Cottage. Actually, I'm writing this review on her behalf, in a sense.
My mom loved the entire experience, from the elaborate place settings with flowers and frilly lace stuff, china cabinets, frames with no pictures in them, ladies dressed up in matching Victorian looking outfits (customers having a private party).
As for me, I felt like a bull in a china shop. LOL. I definitely felt out of place. But whatever, I just wanted to make sure my mom had a good time, because since she can no longer drive a car, she rarely gets to go to places she likes.
I don't drink from porcelain cups normally. I'm more of a tumbler or Hydroflask kinda guy.
However, observing my mom and the other female customers in the venue, they really seemed to love the decor, fine china and attention to detail, like the cloth napkin shaped like a rose inside the pink tea cup in front of me.
I decided to take some photos of our experience and post them on Yelp so it could help others see what Cobblestone Cottage was like - and hopefully help the biz as well! I figured my mom might also want some nice memories of her fun experience that she could share with her friends via email.
While taking pics, we met the owner, Arsine, who was super nice to me and my mom. She even let us try a special blend of Lemon Almond Roca tea, and talked to us for a bit even though she was preparing for a big group coming in.
I definitely recommend taking your mom to this spot if she likes high tea and stuff like that.
PS: If you're a big dude like me... you might want to eat before going, because the small sandwiches won't make you full... but that's not really the point of going to high tea anyway, my man. Bring your mom or your lady and make sure she has a good time!
