Oak Park Tea Room, Raleigh

Food wasn't particularly good.

The hostess was delightful, and the musical entertainment was wonderful. The tea and food were delicious.

The pricing was confusing, but overall a decent experience! Tea was good.

I have rarely had a more pleasant experience than I did today, my first visit to Oak Park Tea Room. I brought my three year old for a mother-son afternoon tea. We shared the La Tea Da and had a pot of tea each. Every single item was delicious. It was clear that a lot of time and love went into the making of everything. The charming proprietress served us herself and treated us warmly and kindly even though we were there with a Groupon. (I've had unfortunate Groupon experiences in the past where they treat you like dirt and even mock you, very embarrassing.) She checked on us enough to be courteous and thoughtful, without being intrusive. She accepted hugs from my excited son and even danced I'm A Little Teapot with him. We spent nearly two hours there. We ate every single thing on our table and enjoyed every bite and every moment. My son especially enjoyed the very funny "fish and chips" bowl! Now that we know about this establishment, we will be happy to return whenever we have our next afternoon free.
