The Tea Kettle Cafe

My husband and I went for the Wizard tea during lunch. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent! We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately. The little sandwiches were creative and delicious. They had a lot of little extra touches including Harry Potter stickers, wizard theme candies to take home, and sorting hat mini cupcakes with different color fillings. Highly recommend a visit to The Tea Kettle!

I came here for my 25th birthday and it’s become my favorite place. The atmosphere is so peaceful and calming and really makes you feel like you can slow down and enjoy company or even just a good book! The food we amazing and the service by Frankie was so great. She was kind and know a lot about the teas. I’m a huge tea collector and tea head and their tea 100% didn’t disappoint! Definitely try the orange vanilla cream and the Persephone!!

The tea was delightful, the music was pleasant, and the sandwich was pretty good too. Prices were reasonable as well. The only noteworthy unpleasant thing was out of the restaurants control, I won't hold them for that. A party arrived for a reserved tea service and ended up sat next to me. They were .... let's say not quiet. They weren't exactly screaming but I certainly know more about them than I ever wanted to know. Overall I would recommend going, but if your entire afternoon plan is a good pot or two of tea and a book well.... other people exist, so be prepared to have a backup plan.

I stopped by The Tea Kettle Cafe in Old Town Spring and seriously loved it. The place is adorable and feels super homey. The food was delicious, the tea was really good, and the service was honestly the kind you don’t see much anymore, just genuinely kind people who seem happy you’re there. I walked out feeling great and I’ll definitely be back.

My mom and I stumbled upon this place when we finally made it over to old town Spring and we were completely delighted by the whole experience. The tea room is exquisitely decorated. The food is amazing and the tea- perfection!

We reserved a spot at The Tea Kettle Cafe for their "Mad Hatter Tea Party" and LOVED it! They recently had a room inside painted with an Alice in Wonderland theme and it looks like a storybook. The theme of the "Mad Hatter Tea Party" was expertly carried out through out the tea party menu. The sandwichs were delicious and loved the stuffed mushroons. The strawberry tart was decadant. The macaron with "eat me" on it and the cheshire cat (with his smile) cake bite was too cute and delicious. They even added little bottles of their butterfly lemonade in small bottles with "drink me" attached. We did add a cool drink to our tea party for an additional cost and the butterfly lemonade was worth the price.

Jersey graciously welcomed us to the delightful Tea Kettle Cafe as we took in the charm of their new wine bar, The Mad Hatter. He arranged for us to sit on the patio, where the atmosphere was simply magical—soft lights danced around us, and a gentle breeze added a whimsical touch to our evening. From the moment we walked in, every detail was attended to. Jersey provided us with outstanding service, treating us like honored guests throughout our visit. The dishes were culinary masterpieces, bursting with exquisite flavors and creativity, while the wine selection was equally impressive, enhancing our dining experience perfectly. Every sip and every bite was savored, creating an unforgettable evening we will always treasure. This is now one of our new favorite restaurants and plan to come here more often!

Where do I begin? We had such a wonderful experience during afternoon tea. We were greeted by a friendly staff and we were in awe of the beautiful atmosphere. We had the privilege of sitting under a GORGEOUS tree mural that made this afternoon tea such an amazing and magical memory shared with my mother in law and sister in law as we introduced my 2 year old toddler to the tradition. The bites were plentiful and delicious and the tea selection was varied with many wonderful options to choose from. Overall, the entire experience was a delight! Thank you! We will definitely be back!

This place is great! Very nice place to relax and enjoy great company with a nice cup of tea. KATE is also amazing!

We had a large group of friends seated at two tables for adults and our teens. Despite the fact our plans for arrival and number of guests changed a few times, they were so accommodating. We had a couple of guest with allergy restrictions and that was handled beautifully as well. We were supplied with two large tables in the back room and were given plenty of time to eat, drink, and enjoy each others company. such fun!

This is all my personal opinion of what I experienced yesterday. In the past, there was a charming traditional British tea house in Old Town Spring that held a special place in my heart. My Mum and I used to frequent it when I was younger, and it always made us feel like we were back in the UK. Recently, I discovered another tea house in the spring and decided to surprise my mum with an afternoon tea reservation, as this tradition holds significant cultural importance for us. However, our experience at this new tea house was disappointing. The sandwiches were lackluster, with stale bread and an imbalance of bread to filling. The slicing of the bread should be thinner. The scones were undercooked and resembled American biscuits rather than traditional scones. The portion of cream provided was minuscule, far from the normal servings we were accustomed to. You want it to be slathered in cream or jam. There was enough for a crumb but I couldn't eat it anyway as it was undercooked inside. Not sure of course and this is coming from my working knowledge of sourcing but the desserts seemed store-bought and lacked freshness, with an overwhelming sweetness and artificial taste. The selection did not complement the sandwiches and scones well, missing the mark for a traditional afternoon tea experience. Cannolis are great as a dessert option and low labor intense so I get it but not the most complimentary to the other items. Victoria sponge anyone? Actually if you ever are in NYC Tea and Sympathy is fantastic! Best Victoria sponge I've had in the US. Great for research or inspiration. Fortnum and Mason, TWG tea, St Regis, The Savoy, The ritz are all amazing examples of a proper indulgent afternoon tea. In Houston the st Regis and Bistro Menil are decent options. I would recommend studying them and gaining inspiration to serve their clients a lovely experience. Furthermore, the tea served was not loose leaf I believe, but rather from tea bags, which do not compare in flavor to loose leaf tea. The waitress said it was, but it would make no sense to strain the tea twice. The overall quality of the food and service did not justify the cost, leaving us feeling unsatisfied. The lack of attention to detail and poor service, including a delay in serving tea till we asked and a general lack of efficiency, added to our disappointment. As someone working in the hospitality industry, I observed these shortcomings with dismay, knowing that they could be easily rectified to enhance the overall experience for guests. It is disheartening to see the Americanized version of afternoon tea fall short of the simple yet classic standards. It seems only when someone from the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Hong Kong, and Japan managed it does it work. The potential for success is there, especially with a British shop nearby that could provide inspiration for improvement. Their frozen scones are of a higher quality and are cooked through. I'd rather that be a food service item than the desserts if they were getting it from a British distributor. From a food safety perspective I wasn't crazy about all the cracked plates and dishes we were being served on. The cutlery was also very diner like. It just doesn't look polished or nice. As customers we don't just pay for the food but the whole experience. For what was charged you should be able to maintain your equipment. I had hoped for this new tea house to become a favorite spot for my mother and me, but the missed opportunities and lackluster execution have left me hesitant to return. I believe that with some adjustments and a renewed focus on quality and service, this tea house could truly shine and provide a memorable experience for all guests, especially Mother-Daughter duos like us. Health and safety standards are not being adhered to here and hopefully the owner takes responsibility as multiple different customers have complained about the same thing. Perfect example of dialing it in and not putting in the work effort to make it a safe enjoyable environment.

They are not allergen or vegan friendly. They do not want to modify anything because it is "too difficult" while admitting that they get a lot of requests for vegan and gf options. I got the avocado toast, and the portion seemed small for the price. The tea was really good.

While this is a charming little tea cafe, I'd honestly recommend skipping the food and coming for a cup of tea and a scone. The food was pretty mediocre -- we had a salmon salad and a slice of quiche. Both were unimpressive. I'm not the best cook but I can make better versions of these items at home. The salmon tasted extra fishy for some reason. That being said, I loved my drink selections. I had a Butterfly Pea Blueberry Lemonade and it was delicious. I also dried their Bibliophilia tea and their Nymph tea -- I enjoyed both. My favorite item however was their scone (lavender and white chocolate). It was really tasty (came with cream and strawberry jam). Yum. Their service was pretty good -- a little on the slow side. Friendly though. My one tiny gripe would be their commitment to taking our menus away, haha. We asked to initially keep the menu after ordering but got distracted with conversation and later realized the menu was gone. I asked the hostess for another. Going forward, they tried to take it away twice. I had to point it out. It was comical -- it's really in their best interest that we hold onto it -- especially with all the tea selections. Silly. It was easy to get a table on an early Saturday afternoon but I believe you need a reservation for a tea service. Ultimately, tea is what they do best. I'd certainly come back but stick to their tea/dessert selections.

Came here on a recent afternoon for a tea service/lunch. A table had been reserved for our party of 4 (3 adults and one child), and the staff was waiting for us when we arrived. Lovely little cafe with uniquely-painted walls and an eclectic collection of china and tea cups at your table. Service was good, but at times the one server did look as if she was taking care of everyone that had stopped by in addition to us. Quite a few of the tables were occupied, and she appeared to be running back and forth between them . . . Teas were delicious. I had an iced ginger peach tea (not really a hot tea drinker) and I was very pleased with it. No sugar needed on this iced tea since the flavor stands out by itself and, in my opinion, would be marred by any additions. Finger sandwiches, scones and mini desserts were beautifully arranged. I seemed to be drawn to the finger sandwiches, and each one I had was very good - yes, there was quite a variety, too. Others in my party jumped at the scones (not a fan); I could tell they were thoroughly enjoyed since all of them disappeared in no time! Mini desserts were nice, too: small cheesecakes, mini cream puffs and a sweet bread. The cream puffs (the only dessert I tried) were nicely done. A charming afternoon tea and lunch that all of us enjoyed.

I recently came in with a large party. We would have liked to know what the sandwiches and desserts were on the tea trays, but they were just placed on the table without explanation. The tea was good and the place is cute but the server did not acknowledge us.

Extremely disappointing lunch. Never been to a tea house that you have to order the afternoon tea tower 24 hours in advance. Silverware was disgusting and dirty, even the other one. When I complained the waitress just said oh sorry and didn't even pick it up. Also if you want restaurant made food do not go here. This is store bought chicken salad about a week old, croissants from Sam's or Costco and salad from a box salad. Good thing they aren't expensive. But it would have been more fresh if I just went to HEB.

I used to love it here. The tea service was amazing. WAS being the operative word! The new menu is basic and limited. It is honestly something you could get it at Subway. My tuna sandwich was dry was very little tuna filling. My iced tea was completely watered down. I have come here over 20 times with the old menu. The tea service now has to be reserved.....,at a tea room. How sad. So many better places in old town spring now!!! AVOID!!!!!!

This is such a cute cozy concept of a place. It's in Old Town Spring so it's a mood to just come and chill for some tea on an afternoon. The service is prompt and welcoming. Only flaw is no wifi so that was the only reason I only came back twice. If they had wifi, I'd be able to come here to enjoy and do some laptop work but still deserves 5 stars

Equally impressed with the service and delish food!! This place a gem in Old Town Spring, definitely stop by for yummy tea or a bite.

Great little spot to celebrate a special occasion. The tea is amazing, and the cutest little place to go for a tea party. The kids set up was SO awesome with the "fairy tea" and Nutella sandwiches. The only disappointment were the adult sandwiches as they were not impressive as far as what is offered. Everything else was tasty and we had a great time celebrating my moms 60th birthday. I would definitely recommend this place for the fun girly experience.

Katie was absolutely amazing! Such a special day with my family and daughter who was fully dressed as a princess for Tea. This place is a gem. Thank you. Oh and the cheesecake was the best

My friend and I saw that there was the option of a Harry Potter themed wizard high tea in October. We were very excited and wore our wizardly costumes. We arrived at the tea room after making reservations two weeks in advance. The staff seemed confused and kept us waiting in the entrance while they consulted lists and whispered. We were finally taken from table to table in confusion. There were only four other parties in the back room so their scattered nature seemed a bit off. Name cards were on all the tables and I saw my name at a table but another couple was seated in it enjoying tea which was weird. After eventually being sat at a side table the girl took our tea order and then immediately brought out our high tea food tray with no water or drinks. We waited for our tea another forty five mins trying to get a staff members attention with no luck before she came out of a back room and told us she forgot to brew it. Not having the tea sort of put a damper on the experience and we didn't want to eat our sandwiches etc without tea, but we did anyways since we were hungry. This is my second time attending high tea and the lack of service and confusion takes away from the fun of tea date. The food isn't the best but during my previous visit we didn't mind because the tea was pleasant and the tea room is cute. I hope things turn around soon because this was disappointing, especially with reservations made and with a fun theme. We really just wanted to relax and chat and sip some tea and enjoy the hogwarts goodies. Step it up.

This cute little place is probably great for a "special tea party." I made what I thought to be a lunch reservation for a party of 5 at 11 am. When I was asked for a CC to secure the reservation, I thought it was strange but didn't question it. I should have. When we were seated at our table, there was confusion over what the waitress said. As it turned out, my reservation was for "tea," which included the usual afternoon tea sandwiches, etc. It should have been explained to me that I was booking a $32.00 per person tea when I made the reservation. I wanted to make sure we could have a table available when we arrived. I asked the manager or owner (I'm not sure which) if it could be switched because we wanted to order off the menu since it was our first visit. She reluctantly agreed to change it. At the end of our lunch, I apologized for the misunderstanding. She explained that generally, when a reservation is a "no-show," there is a 1/2 price charge of the total. She then agreed only to charge me 1/4 of the price to which I agreed. However, I believe it was her responsibility to ask if my reservation was for a "tea" or clarify what I was making a reservation for. If, as she said, they had not brought the sandwiches to our table so she could still use them, why did there need to be a charge at all? She was not out anything! No one was waiting for a table, and we all ordered lunch and drinks. The food was not impressive either. The only positive thing about our visit to the Tea Kettle Cafe was the time spent with friends. We all agreed that we will not be returning to the Tea Kettle Cafe.

I had high hopes but it didn't pan out bc service was poor. It was not busy & took nearly 30 min to get a replacement for an item & another 30 min to get the bill after we were done. The soup had potential but it was bottom of the pot salty & came out cold. My tuna sandwich came w a cold refrigerated croissant. When I mentioned that it would be nice to have the croissant to b toasted or room team the server was unbothered & said that's how we serve it. When I walked in I saw the word bakery & I would expect that quality. The tuna was dry & weird texture & flavor. Buffalo chicken wrap was good. Spinach quiche egg was not fluffy & spinach was flavorless but the crust was good. I had higher expectations. We were not offered desert.

Visited yesterday on 12/19/23. We happened to be walking in old town Spring, headed to Wunsche but was sidetracked by the bright colors of the quaint bldg and the word Tea. Being a tea snob and curious about the menu, we went inside We were greeted and seated by the female owner. The waitress took our order. The service was rather slow,there was only one other table of customers while we were there. At some point while waiting in our order, a tall man came through our seating area and walked to back door with a trash bag. He opened door and left it wide open as he dumped bag in the dumpster. I thought this was extremely rude as it was pretty chili outside. Being first time visitors, I was unimpressed with the food and quality of customer service. The food was mediocre and the small cup of tea was overpriced. Needless to say there are several things that need improving for me to return here. Some of the staff were cordial and others lacked in understanding basic needs. We were never checked on during our meals, such as "do you need more water, or are you enjoying the food, would you like to try a dessert" The pregnant waitress was pretty nice, but the guy who brought trash bag out and left door open right near our table was clearly not a good example of customer service and lacked good decision making skills. If it had not been for us waiting on food order, I would have left and gone straight to Wunsche Bros. to dine. If you want your business to thrive and bring in some value and diversity, then you need to do better! You are clearly lacking in those two areas.

We had a good meal when we had lunch at the Cafe Frustrating that the caffeinated Old Town Spice is on back order until November or December. I'm completely out of the tea which I really like and usually have every day

The owner was nice and it was super cute on the inside, but the chocolate macaron was not good. I've had a couple different macarons before and this one tasted nothing like them. There was no crunch on the top like a typical macaron it was all chewy. And not mention I spent 3.25 on a single one, which I wouldn't mind if the macaron was how I imagined.

So cute and amazing food and tea! Come hungry! Stephanie was amazing and informative !

Such a cute place in OTS. The tea and food were delicious. I will definitely be returning soon.

A week or so ago my friend and i came in to enjoy the wonderful ambiance that Khindra and her staff create, unfortunately Khindra was under staffed when a man i presume is the owner comes in and screams at her because she was closing to get her children and she was understaffed. It was a disgusting display of abuse of authority. Ruined the atmosphere. I come in a couple days ago, no staff, the food was not up to par and the sheer unprofessionalism and poor attitude has just ruined the beautiful cafe. Please don't eat here, the food tasted funny and my stomach hurt almost immediately.

This is one of my favorite places. It's cute cozy the food is good the service is good the girls love it and we all feel special for the day.

Started off with calling this place to inquire about a bridal shower for my bff, and by the sound of the voice, it sounded like a young girl by the name of Krista who was assisting me. She was difficult to understand, therefore I would recommend communicating with Khindra, whom is most knowledgeable about event bookings. I also had a few rude encounters each time I spoke to Krista, which made it very hard to commit to booking the event. However, I was on a tight timeline, in which would be difficult to inquire a different cafe. Regardless, Khindra and I were very thorough throughout the process, and communicated nicely via email and by phone. All details and pricing were spelled out verbally and on email, which helped out tremendously. The cafe offers minor decorations like table cloths, seat ribbons and linens, and themed desserts, which all comes with additional cost. However you are allow to bring your own as you wish. Champagne is not offered, though it is BYOB with a cork fee per bottle. The moment we had been all waiting for after over a month of planning this event... Khindra and her staff really helped all our dreams come true with this event. She allowed me to come half an hour early to set up minor decors and such. She also allowed me to make a backdrop with whatever wall I could use in my room. Make sure to ask what is/is not allow such as confetti, as that is difficult for clean up for most businesses. The whole experience was lovely, and I really love how Khindra frequently checked up on us to make sure we were content. I definitely would come back and recommend to my friends and family. My girlfriends are already ready to come back for another tea party! My only con that is keeping me from coming back is the pricing for the amount of food you get. It is deemed to be more of a light snack regardless if you opt for the light or full afternoon tea. The scones could have been better... fairly dense an dry. Nevertheless, we all love the tea choices which was Ginger Peach and Old Town Spice. Both were lovely in its own way and I am so happy how the entire party came out!

If teas are your thing this is the place to go ! Excellent selection of tea's. Inside and outside seating. Workers are wearing masks appropriately. Sandwiches are hefty in meat along with home baked potato chips which were delicious!

I'd hate to leave a bad review because I've heard great things about this place, but things didn't go well. I invited a few of my co-workers for afternoon high tea. The mistake was not making reservations. While we were the second group to be seated, they couldn't offer any tea services because there was a baby shower going on in the back room, and I guess there were others who made tea service reservations. Our waiter specifically asked us if we were interested in doing the tea service today. We said yes and placed our orders. He literally came back 15-20 minutes later to tell us that we couldn't do the light afternoon tea service because there were so many going on. Three of us requested it, and I asked if we could do at least one for the group, and they couldn't. I don't know why it took him so long to tell us after placing the order. There were 5 of us - 4 adults and one child. We had to ask for silverware and tea cups when my friend and I came just a few minutes later than our other 2 friends. The items on the menu were limited. They didn't have a lot of the soups listed on their menu. When we were almost done, just finishing our large pot of tea and chatting, some guy came to clean off our table while we were still seated. He took away mine and my friend's cup away. It was still in front of me, and I had just sipped it. So rude. I looked at him and said we weren't done. Yes, we just literally paid, but we still have this giant pot of tea. Then some lady came shortly after to rush us out because she needed our table for a reservation of 7. Excuse me? That's your problem. We are also paying customers finishing our tea. This establishment is a tea place that offers tea services. How can you run out of tea services and not accommodate for walk ins, and on top of that, rush customers out? The creamy basil tomato soup was delicious. Crackers tasted old and stale. The scones were too hard on the outside. Portions are huge, like the quiche and sandwich/salad combo. Cute atmosphere. Horrible service. I don't know if I want to come back.

The hours have changed due to covid but otherwise a perfect little spot for afternoon tea. The staff is very friendly and accommodating since I wasn't aware the place closed at 2pm. I showed up at 1:45pm and allowed to enjoy my tea and take some to go. I love their scones and clotted butter.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at this quaint little tea room for my daughter's 6th birthday! The front fairy room is perfect for a little girls birthday and the food and tea was all delicious. It's hard to find unique things to do with the kids and this birthday experience will be one of our favorites for years to come. Thank you for making it special and also super stress free. We loved it!

This is one of our favorite spots to visit in Old Town Spring. Food is so good and presented well. We had the chicken noodle soup but it was too spicy for us but enjoyed the rest of or meals. Loved that they serve a little tea pot for the children. The staff has always been very friendly. Def deserves 5 stars from us!

Visited this place with my fiancée for her birthday as she's a tea lover, and we wanted experience a nice, calm and relaxed time drinking some tea. We got there and the place is lovely! We got sat immediately and got our stuff in a fairly quick manner. HOWEVER! The reason for the two stars, is because the ladies in the front are TOO LOUD! The lady in the cashier laughs out loud with a LOT OF FORCE! Also, having private conversations about y'all's dates and what y'all do in them isn't something your customers need to be hearing about... my fiancée and I could barely hear each other! Unfortunately, this ruined our time at the Tea Kettle Cafe.

Super cute and so unique! Cannot wait to come back. The tea selection was great as well as the food. We came for high tea! Service was excellent!! Will definitely be back. I also had the tomato basil which was delish and my mom a chicken vegetable also good!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea with friends and their daughters. Cute decor, great service, and really liked the food, especially the lavender scones. Our 4-5 year olds had a great time and loved the pink "tea" (lemonade). They were accommodating for those of us who were vegetarian and had peanut butter and jelly, cucumber and cheese, Nutella and strawberry and egg salad sandwiches. We will be back!

A really, really great place for lunch! We walked by and decided to be adventurous! Lovely atmosphere and the food was just as fabulous! We started with their 'Old Spring' spice tea with cream! The grilled chicken sandwich was warm and extra yummy because of the avocado slices! Their chicken salad sandwich was perfection with grapes, cranberries and pecans! We shared a chocolate chip scone for dessert... warm and tender! We will definitely be back! I took lots of pictures to help with my review! Enjoy!

The service here was so disappointing. The woman who greeted us was very sweet but the girls working seemed so confused about what was going on. We made reservations weeks in advance for high tea service. When we got there it took at least 15 mins before anyone got our tea order. Then another 20 25 mins before said tea came out. Which means we were literally sitting here without water or anything wondering if they'd forgotten about us. For some reason the food came out before our tea ever made it to the table. For what they charge, I had an expectation for decent service and this was incredibly lackluster. Next time we'll skip the tea and enjoy the wine bar across the street where our presence was actually appreciated.

I made reservoir our group about 3 months in advance! We were sooo excited about our visit. We take my little cousin to tea parties when we visit from out of town. About a week prior Kendra emailed to confirm our plans. She was very polite and detailed. When we arrived, she and I hugged like we were old friends. She had reserved a private room for our group of six. The room was adorable. We loved everything about it. From opening the door to paying the bill. The chef is outstanding. The BEST jambalaya (even better than mine) I have ever had. The vanilla bean scone was to die for. We usually go to different places when we visit, but this is gonna be our new favorite. Kendra is amazing. See you soon girlfriend. Oh and if you haven't been to Old Town Spring, GO!!! It's beautiful.

This was a really cute place in old town spring. I tried the full tea service. My first impression of this place is that it looks old, kind of like your old old grandma's house. Most of the customers in there were past retirement age. My group was the only young group in there. The bathroom lights weren't working for some reason in both of the stalls. I had to take a star away for that. We got the old spice and the ginger peach tea. Both were sooooo delicious and very aromatic. All of the finger sandwiches were so cute and is delicious. The scones taste really fresh. I was introduced to clotted cream for the first time. I like it. It was amazing with the fruit preserves. All of the desserts were good except for the cannoli. The best part of a cannoli is the crunch u get when you bite into it. This cannoli was soggy. No crunch here. I think for the price, I was expensive for 2 teas and a few finger sandwiches. Most of the foods were good except the cannoli. The teas were exceptional. But for me to justify that price, I would have liked a prettier ambiance and working lights in the bathroom.

A huge THANK YOU to Khindra and her staff at The Tea Kettle Cafe in Old Town Spring for coordinating a seamless bridal luncheon for our niece. Five of her six aunts live out of state, so this event took extra collaboration! The ambiance and attention to detail made it such a special day! Everything was delicious, but you must try the #oldtownspicetea!

We've come here quite often over the years, but this visit was very different. First it was very difficult to get ahold of them for a reservation. Phone was just the answering machine or a quick "no not available." Upon our arrival we were seated quickly and asked our order. Waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu, especially the tea. Checked on every now and then. The food and tea was delicious, as usual. We always enjoy the full tea service and this one didn't disappoint. For what you pay, the service just doesn't match. We remember it being a lot more professional and staff was more put together. It could have just been an off day, but for sure not what we remembered.

This review is for lunch on a Thursday at noon. Pros - it's a cute little tea house that has all different kinds of tea cups scattered around the restaurant - seems like a great place for a bridal shower or afternoon tea - chicken noodle soup was tasty! - different tea to pick from for even just a glass of tea! Can even get some tea cold which is nice! Cons - service was super slow for my friend and me for lunch. I am not sure if it was the waiter or what but it wasn't that busy and the food took literally forever. We both ordered the combo - half sandwich with a cup of soup. We received the half sandwich first and when we were done with the sandwich and chips, we finally received the cup of soup. - food- nothing special. The waiter recommended the ham and fig sandwich and it was just ok. Nothing special. My friend ordered the chicken salad sandwich and said it was good but didn't say she was overly impressed Overall, maybe we just need to try the tea service option on another visit because I really wasn't impressed with lunch.

I always seem to have a pleasant experience when I come. I always get the high tea luncheon. If you are looking for a high tea experience you will get it here. The food is aesthetically pleasing and delicious.

Love this little cute place in old town spring. Reservation is required for the tea services. We ordered the full service tea services. The food were awesome and the old spice tea is highly recommended.

A Hidden Gem in Old Town Spring. Food was fresh, delicious, and delivered within minutes of our order. The quaint atmosphere and attention to detail is reminiscent of an Old English Tea House. We are very happy to have stopped here. This is our new destination in Old Town Spring.

I tried out The Tea Kettle on a Sunday as soon as they opened. We were able to get a nice table by the window. The decor reminds me of being a kid at my grandmothers house. Very whimsical with lots of lace and different patters. Each table had mismatched tea cups and saucers on them. They have a variety of salads, sandwiches and soups. Our server was super cute and energetic. She gave us some great recommendations and even got me to sway from my usual go to tea to try a more floral version which I loved. I had the tomato soup and the turkey sandwich with tea and a scone. The soup was perfect the sandwich was good. The lavender scone was probably the best I've had. I look forward to my next trip.

Finally made it here after having this place closed multiple times over the years due to special events. I was pretty excited to give it a try when I finally booked a reservation. I wasn't too impressed with the tea selection and I think everything was over priced. I got a date salad with chicken and it wasn't anything too glamorous. Despite it being so small and so few people remaining when we got our food, service was hard to come by. Waitress forgot our waters, food wasn't served at the same time, the people that ordered sandwiches for their orders last (surprisingly). Then one of our team members wanted to look in the kitchen to get our waitress since we were pressed for time for a meeting and our patience ran thin. I wouldn't recommend this place for a lunch date, rather attend when you have more time. There are a few other tea places I'd definitely recommend if you're searching for this similar style: Tea for Two, Whistle Stop Tearoom, Path of Tea (zen kinda style but great tea options for purchase)

I just looove this place and Khindra has the best customer service!! The full afternoon tea experience was fantastic! Make a reservation and enjoy yourself!!!

Very nice staff and very beautiful inside! We had half sandwiches with the tomato basil soup and it was lovely! The earl grey tea is delish, I mean how can you go wrong. Plus the scones were perfect as well as the free cupcakes they let us have as they were leftovers from a wedding party earlier in the day! Heck yes we will be back!

We had a very special 70th birthday here! Khindra was wonderful in every way. She made the process so much easier to plan from out of state. And she made the day of enjoyable with her vivacious personality! The food was excellent and the tea was delicious. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you for making this celebration so perfect!

WONDERFUL! GREAT! FABULOUS! TKC hosted an Afternoon Tea for my daughter's birthday, and it was PERFECT. Janet went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was friendly, attentive and helpful. The room was set up nicely, and the food was delicious! The cake that was baked for us exceeded our expectations. We created memories here to last a lifetime. I HIGHLY recommend this tea room!

I have been wanting to try afternoon tea for years. My ultimate dream has been to travel to the United Kingdom and try it there, but being a super busy mom of two, that hasn't been possible. I searched and searched the local places with afternoon tea, but only found a couple. Since this one was much closer to my home and a lot cheaper than the highly recommended St. Regis, I decided to try it first. I am I glad I did. The price is so much less, but the food is absolutely delicious. The tea was so good and the variety of items for the full service of afternoon tea are wonderful. Two of us enjoyed for less than one of us would at the other place. It was my first time trying clotted cream and I loved it on the freshly baked scones. The little sandwiches were so good. We had the tea that had orange flavor in it and I believe it was called old spice? I forget for sure but it was amazing without any sugar and I never drink tea unsweetened. My faves were cucumber and the egg salad. It's about 30 minutes from where I live or I'd be there daily! It's ok beautiful Old Town Spring. I plan to come back when it's cooler weather and browse the shops and do afternoon tea again. Lastly, reservations needed for the afternoon tea. We made ours through email and they were so polite and accommodating.

(Im writing this review as my grandma is speaking.) The service was amazing! The Old Spice tea and the regular black tea was indescribable. I bought some Old Spice for my granddaughter and she loved it so much she had to take the whole bag back to her dorm room! The deserts were yummy as well. And yes, I am the granddaughter she is talking about. The tea she brought home is so good I can't stop drinking it!!! Perfect for Christmastime.
