The cake was delicious but the service was HORRIBLE and from the owner!!! After being showed to our table I sat down my 5 month olds car seat next to the table to take off my jacket and before I could get an arm out the owner walks up, touches the handle of the carseat and says, literally, "You need to move that right now". I was so taken aback that it took me a second to respond so she goes on to say "I am the owner here and that needs to be moved, NOW". I was still completely in shock that #1 my child is refered to as "that" and #2 the sheer rudeness of how I was approached. She then explains that it was a tripping hazard so I moved the carseat to a chair. While my child wasnt in the middle of the walkway but right next to the table where a chair would have sat, I totally understand the concern but the approach was completely rude and borderline offensive. To add to the horrid start, I ordered the special for the day and we also had cake which another member of our party was paying for since they did not prepare a cake like she had requested the week before. When I went to pay my check the lady at the register looks at my ticket and asks didnt I have cake. Now, if you think there is something that should be on my bill that isnt take that up with the server. Dont shake down customers like they are attempting to steal something! I had to tell her all the cake was together on another bill. Not only that, the owner informed our party that they Saturdays are really busy and our party had an hour and a half to eat. I have never been treated so terrible! NEVER AGAIN, the cake wasnt THAT darn good...

Our party had a horrible experience. I made reservations a week in advance and ordered a cake to go along with our baby shower. The lady on the phone took all my information. When our party arrived, the owner Cindy, pulled me aside and told me that she "does not do" baby showers at her tea room. She then informed me that she does not sell cakes, and only sell them by the slice, none of this was spoken of in the phone. She told us that we could only be there in an hour and a half and then we needed to leave. She continued to bother guests by reminding them of the time and that they needed to hurry and finish. As soon as we stood up to pay, she immediately moved our purses and pulled the tables out from under us and started rearranging for future guests. When I spoke to her she would say nice things in a loud tone, to make it seem like she was being friendly. But, then would whisper ultimatums to me. She has now lost not only my business but the party of 8 that I was with. If you are considering having a party or a baby shower at this to tea room I would highly suggest choosing another place.

Service was really good. My wife and I were greeted kindly and shown to our table. We were having a bit of an off day, needed a lot of time to decide our order. Our server was very patient and showed no hint of frustration or impatience. She readily answer all our questions, including the same question a few times, all with a kind smile. Our food took a little long to get once we did order, but the place was very very busy. When we did get the food, it was all very good. It wont be a normal spot for us to hit up, but we will certainly want to show our friends and family when we want to show them around Tomball.

The food was good and the desserts were amazing but...... We had a Christmas party here. They crammed 22 people into table space for about 16. A few of us were still sitting around talking after the party was over and we were asked if we "got an acceptable amount of time and if we had we needed to go" Will never go back again. I thought that was very unprofessional and rude. Theyve lost a customer and I will spread the word.

Amazing little cafe with friendly staff and a great mom and pop vibe. The service was fast and the food was simple. Soup, salad, and sandwiches scratch made. Perfect for lunch. The desserts were truly the shining star. I ordered the mocha torte, pure perfection. It was moist, flavorful, but not overly sweet. I would go back just for the coffee and desserts.

My Mom and I have been going to this restaurant for years. What can I say? Nearly every time I get the half sandwich / half soup plate with chicken salad and their to-die-for tortilla soup. And OMG ... their cakes and pies are ridonculous!

This is a quaint, cozy little place to eat while antique shopping in Tomball. I got the chicken salad on a croissant with a cup of tortilla soup, both chooses were great. Then chased all that down with a decadent slice of key lime pie!

Good spot for traditional southern American tea room fare. Salads, soups, sandwiches, quiche and desserts. Come early or late for lunch, otherwise be prepared to wait in line.

This is my favorite tea room in the Houston area. Though I no longer live in Houston, when I visit, I always try to make time to stop in. The bread pudding is a real treat.

Food is so good, good deals in lunch combos. Tortilla soup is my favorite and the chicken salad sandwich, desserts could be a little pricey but they worth it.

Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. You can thank me later. Its amazing. Just dont get seated by the dessert display. Youll leave with a whole cake.

Nice place to have a light lunch while antique shopping. Make sure to get the broccoli salad side and save room for the homemade pies.

Food was good but the service wasnt great plus it costs more money to get a refill on soda. Thats annoying but nice environment.

One of my favorite lunch stops. They have an amazing menu, and the wide selection of deserts is too tempting to pass up.
