As soon as we parked, my thoughts were... cute cute cute!!!! The enterance path to the Tea House is a beautiful garden. (NOTE: To my fellow heel-wearers... it is a difficult to walk the walkway as it is gravel/dirt so you may want to keep your Louboutin's at home). The Secret Garden Tea Room resides in a Victorian home which is lovely. It was a little difficult to find but Google Maps brought us straight there. We came from Seattle so it drives you past a commercial business areas. The Secret Garden Tea Room sits next to a business building which was a little confusing but TRUST Google Maps and you will make it just fine! Parking is available at the side of the home in their gravel lot. My friends and I had made reservations to celebrate my best friend's birthday. Upon arrival, a man who resembled a concierge or host, was waiting to greet us on the front porch. When you enter the home, there are gifts and trinkets everywhere, with a tiny shop to the right. Tea hats, fascinators, jewelry, scarves, clothes galore! Our concierge/host seated us promptly and our waitress, Renee immediately welcomed us and assisted us in reviewing our menus. Our first task was to make our tea selection. They have tons of tea options, which are broken down in various categories. I prefer a naturally non-caffeinated tea and I was grateful that the menu made my selection easy to find. I chose a caramel red tea which was amazing! Each of us got our own tea pot with our own special tea selection. As I am gluten-free, I was ecstatic to find that the Secret Garden offered EVERYTHING on the menu in a gluten-free option. (NOTE: For gluten-free, you pay an extra $5 and are required to place your order via phone at least 48 hours in advance.) I ordered the Larkspur. We each started off with scones, lemon curd, jam and a tart whipped cream. With my Larkspur, I could have had endless scones which I wished I had taken advantage of since my GF scone was so moist and delish... However, I wanted to leave room for the rest of my order. The Larkspur arrived on a three tiered stand. The bottom stand with little tea sandwiches with bread that did not resemble to be gluten-free (in GF terms, that means it was very good!) The second tier were savory items such as a meatball, quiche and fruit. My top tier were about 5-6 desserts. Everything was bite sized but it was all so good and surprisingly filling. I am still craving the scones and lemon curd with whipped cream! My friends ordered lunch dishes with lunch items such as: chicken pot pie soup, raspberry salad, orzo salad, pea salad, tea sandwiches... which they all said was superb. Since it was my bestie's birthday, our waitress provided her with a complimentary chocolate cake with a bday candle. The price was not bad. The total for the four of us was about $95. Compared to Tea Rooms in Seattle, this is actually fairly inexpensive. Especially when it comes to gluten-free.... The ambiance is very Victorian. Floral wallpaper in every room, including the bathroom. I wouldn't have it in my home, but it was perfect for the Secret Garden. They even have a little side sun room with two two-person tables... might be fun for a date if you can finagle your love to get in touch with his feminine side. One downside is that they only had one bathroom. Our party of four had the same reservation time as a party of ten. So both our parties ended about the same time. Therefore, the bathroom was in high demand until they left. Overall, from start to finish.. we had a great time. Customer service was superb... We never felt rushed and despite how busy they were, we never felt neglected. The owner even came out to introduce herself and welcome us. It was a very fun experience. We will definitely be back and next time, we will be in floral dresses and tea party hats!

Sept 2022 We got the Larkspur afternoon tea, and the food was very delicious, if leaning on the sweet side. They were only offering pickup orders when we went, and the process was kinda interesting. When we ordered, we specified when we would pick up as well as the type and color of car. Upon arrival, we drove all the way to the back where they have an open tent set up. We drove into the tent and then honked our horn to let the staff know we were there (there are signs for this). Someone came out with a few minutes with our order and they were very friendly and wore a mask. We ordered our tea in tray boxes and the presentation was really good. Everything was laid out neatly with a spoon for the mousse, a cotton lemon scented towelette to the side, a labeled sachet of tea, and heating instructions for the scone on the inside of the box. The sachet of tea also had water temperature and steeping directions for that specific tea. The Larkspur includes 1 scone with 2 containers of cream and 1 each of jam and lemon curd; 4 sandwiches (egg, cucumber, ham, and chicken); 2 savories (not exactly sure what they were); 5 sweets (sugar cookie, cupcake with caramel icing, cream & peach tart, chocolate & peanut butter thing, and a mousse); and some fruit (pineapple, orange, and grapes). Almost everything was delicious (ham sandwich too salty and one of the savories was very sour) though the entire thing leaned more towards the sweet side. For balance, I would recommend a more earthy tea like the Strawberry Hazelnut (Pu-erh) tea. It was very good and helped counter the food's sweetness. Overall, would likely come again.

As a first timer to "noon tea," I was curiously skeptical about this place and its offerings. How could such a place slay my unyielding appetite for carbs? Will I meet Paul Hollywood? Will hand shakes be given out casually??? We walked into a very adorable place; very tidy, and had a light-hearted and welcoming atmosphere. Seating can feel a bit tight if you're an American sized person like myself. You will, however, appreciate that the house is over 100 years old. The cutlery is cute/dainty and smol, but the food and its flavors are extremely well done. The seasonal pumpkin soup is deliciously savory, the mini sandwiches are extremely generous in the spread and size, and the deserts will satisfy your sweet tooth. That peanut butter truffle cup picture is one the best desserts I've eaten in recent memory hands down. The owner and her daughter served us and were very, extremely polite and welcoming. If you want a new experience, have a couple of hours for an event, please do consider this place.

The waitresses are friendly. The food is ok, but the experience is the reason to do this. The fanciness and manners are super lovely. Been 3-5 times and cannot wait to do it again. The only complaints are I smell animal urine when I walk it. My nose is a little extra so this doesn't ruin the experience and everything is clean, so do not let this deter you in anyway. The tables are cozy, feels more like a European restaurant. We usually go on Sunday afternoon and there has always been a large loud party in the middle. 4.5999 would recommend highly.
