2 /5 Svetlana Chapman: When I hear “Tea Room,” I imagine a cozy, charming spot with soft light and a menu full of hot teas, iced teas, and specialty blends. You know—something comforting and inviting. Instead, this “Tea Room” thinks tea means… plain iced tea. That’s it. No pots, no blends, no lattes. Just the most uninspired option possible.
And the bakery? Same story. They serve basic drip coffee. No cappuccino, no espresso. Because apparently a “bakery” doesn’t need real coffee either.
The menu is just as exciting. The first item I see: “Build Your Own Breakfast.” Why exactly am I paying restaurant prices to assemble my own meal when I can do that at home for free?
I tried the so-called grilled sandwich. Except it wasn’t grilled. It was two slices of dry bread pretending to be Italian, slapped on a plate with some turkey and limited pieces of bacon, with two lonely, shriveled pickles that looked like they were thrown in as an afterthought. The presentation could only be described as “sad school lunch.”
The only thing impressive here is the interior. It’s new, clean, and somewhat modern.
You walk in expecting a great experience. Unfortunately, the food and drinks crash that illusion pretty quickly.
