The Kate Pearl Tea Room on Main: Reviews & Ratings
We had a lovely tea here. We made reservations, and came for the Victorian tea. We were each able to choose one tea, and we chose white peach and white strawberry. Then we could choose soup or salad. I really enjoyed the salad. Next was a scone, which was absolutely delicious. After that was a tray of little sandwiches, quiche, and desserts. They were all good, though the quiche was not our favorite. The service was excellent overall. We were seated at a table right by the window, and it was really hot. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and I would return for another special event.
Lovely tea room in downtown Sykesville. Our party of 4 visited on Saturday for lunch & thoroughly enjoyed. They were busy but still received great attentive service. The atmosphere was lovely, food presentation on point, and everything was delicious. We had the royal tea which was filling & had many teas to choose from. Would highly recommend & will return!
A truly magical experience! My fiancée and I went here for her birthday and we could not have had a better time! Everyone was so kind and extremely friendly! The food was fantastic, the room and table were magical and the TEA! The massive selection of tea blends they had to offer was overwhelming! A truly amazing experience, we drove almost an hour to get there and it was totally worth it! We plan on going back for their holiday festivities!
We went here for the Royal Tea experience. Full thing took about two hours and we ordered about 6 different teas. You have to really really really plan out when you want your reservation. If you want a weekend, you basically have to book 3 months in advance as soon as it opens up!!! That's not a complaint, just a tip. I also want to add during your reservation you can mention any dietary restrictions you may have. They are very accomodating. This was an incredibly cute experience. I've never used lil sugar cubes before. As much tea as you could want. The food did take a long time to come out which is part of the reason why we were sitting for two hours. I'm not sure if that's typical. But even in small portions, it is more than enough for a typical person. By the time you get your food tower, you'll probably be full from what was served before and the tea. It was all very cute. I loved the tea pot cozies too. Only critique I currently have is that I ordered I think it was called the Starry Night? And it was supposed to come with shimmer and sprinkles and it had neither :( I'd still very very much recommend this experience.
Had a lovely afternoon tea with my mother at Kate Pearl Tea room in Sykesville. We got the Royal tea service which consisted of an appetizer, blueberry peach scone (Delicious) with clotted cream and jam, soup (Cold strawberry soup which was good but basically tasted like a slightly thinned out strawberry smoothie) and salad, sandwiches, savories and sweets, and a light bubbly fruit drink and some ice cream.. And of course let's not forget the tea. We both got black teas. I got tropical Paradise and my mother got butterscotch. If you've never done afternoon tea, definitely recommend stopping by Kate's or any other tea room. It's a great & fun experience. Our server. Naomi was very nice and attentive.
Incredible tea selection and fresh scones, all served by friendly, fun staff. What more could you want! A must-visit! Hurry and snag a table before the tea stops steeping!
Place is amazing, Tea is awesome! they were super kind to me and welcomed me with so much options, Absolutely will be back! Thanks
Staff is very nice and friendly. Really cute tea spot with a variety of teas. We scheduled for an event with a large group. Everything was perfectly organized. Food was great. Scones and sandwiches are amazing. Loved the garden vegetable soup. Delicious desserts.
