Tilly Mint's Tea Room — Restaurant in Souderton

It is my friends birthday today and I wanted to take her to 'High Tea'. It took me a long time to find a place that fit my criteria. It had to be today, her birthday, an old fashioned building, a place that served traditional style i.e.: tables plus settings, scones, tea sandwiches, small desserts all on a tiered serving tray and had to be open on Wednesday. Tilly Mints has it all. We traveled 35 miles from Philadelphia and it was worth every single traffic jam we encountered. The table had a sign on it acknowledging my friends birthday. Her cloth napkin was a birthday napkin.. The room, kitchen and bathrooms were spotless. The owner, Trish, gives impeccable individual service. The tea sandwiches, scones, desserts and teas were unique and the best tasting EVER. Y'all have no idea how picky (not quite the right word but....) I can be. On a scale from 1 -10, Tilly Mints is a 20. Really. I wish everyone in my life who would appreciate this experience could have been there today. What a special day Trish gives her customers. Thank...

This tea room has been in Souderton for quite a few years. The staff are friendly and efficient. Very unique experience. One thing I’d suggest is more “decorations” to give you more of the British tea house feel. The atmosphere is a bit outdated but the scones were fresh and warm and cooked to perfection. Tea was palatable too. I was impressed by the food. I am though, a bit naive to how the whole ordering process works at a tea house and I didn’t feel they explained very well what we needed to order with what and what each thing included. I feel I would have enjoyed it better if I knew what I was doing. Now I know. They were however very accommodating when my daughter didn’t like her soup, they replaced it with something more “child friendly”. They just didn’t seem to thrilled about replacing it is all, I couldn’t make out if the server was upset with us or just disappointed that her dish was not liked. Overall we enjoyed...

Drove an hour to have authentic English High Tea. The place is quaint and very British. We were served tea first and must say Teas were all delightful, after many years I had Margaret’s Hope as no one offered it at other tea rooms we visited Then came the three tier food offerings. The English Scones Very disappointing Scones are a staple at teas. Yet it appeared store bought. The sandwiches: flavorless cream cheese with a cucumber slice. One with one strawberry/ cream cheeses The chicken /ham were from a can nothing fresh The desserts were store bought We ate as we paid over $100 for the tea for all of us. We suggest that if you say English Tea then serve it with fresh elegant food like petit fours. Cheese/cucumber sandwiches. ham/marmalade sandwich. freshly cooked chicken with grapes/Mayo. Egg salad sandwich Sorry for this review. But it is honest and sincere to get some change there as place...
