Mrs. Ticklemore's Tea Cakes & Savories, Akron, OH

Visited: May, 2008.  Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: We drive up at least three times a year from Columbus to go to this tea room. The Lemon Tart and the Pecan Squares are our favorites. One of us likes the House Blend and one of us likes the mint leaves. The scones are wonderful and there are great savories and excellent cucumber sandwiches. The brown sugar cubes are a real treat. The downside is how much money we spend before we get out of the West Point Market with all of its indulgences.

Comments: Overall, our experience at Mrs. Ticklemore's was a good one ... just not a fantastic one. While the server was very friendly and eager to help, she didn't know much about the menu or the teas (she did say she was brand-new, though). The tea was very nice, and the scones were outstanding. The tea sandwiches, on the other hand, were nothing special. The tea room was pleasant enough, but it was hard to ignore the fact that you were in the middle of a bustling market. It's a very, very nice market, though, and it was fun to browse after having our tea.

Comments: My mom and I go to tea once a month and we've been to every tea house within a 40-mile radius of Cleveland. This one, located inside West Point Market, is one of our favorites. The tea presentation and preparation are lovely, the food (savory trays and sweet trays and scones) is excellent, and the service is always top-notch. When you're done with tea, you can spend the rest of the day shopping in one of the finest markets you'll ever see -- amazing foods, wines, imports, and of course, teas. A true gem.

Comments: Mrs. Ticklemore's is a lovely tearoom that I would recommend to anyone. The atmosphere is simple and elegant -- little tables with flowers and printed tea quotes on the walls. The service is excellent with a well informed and courteous staff. The server will bring a tray with cups of their loose tea selection for viewing. After you make your selection, you are served a lovely pot of tea with a timer. Their food is wonderful. They also provide highchairs and have a tea time story hour every other Saturday morning for small children. All things considered, I would give this establishment 4 stars.

Tea: Good.  Food: Good. Service: Good.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: The afternoon tea here was ok. They bring you a different selection of tea with each course unlike some tea rooms that let you decide what kind of tea to get for your whole meal. So it is a good way to try new teas but if you like a particular kind and it is not the tea choice for today then you are out of luck. The sandwiches are very good and I wish they had their chicken salad on their regular menu so you could get it to go. The desserts were ok and my group was disappointed that not everyone got to try one of each type of dessert on the plate. There were four of us but only three of each dessert. The service was very good. The atmosphere is very nice.

Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent. Service: Excellent.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: This tea room is a gem! Both my husband and I ordered the afternoon tea. I chose the Queen Catherine's Blend (black tea) and my husband chose the Burgundy Cherry. The tea (loose) was brewed in the kitchen and brought to us in teapots. The food was excellent as was the presentation. The sandwiches consisted of a calla lily (cream cheese with apricot), half of a small croissant with chicken salad made with walnut and basil, banana bread with cream cheese, and a "butterfly" spread with cucumber and cream cheese. The chicken salad was excellent! The scone was served warm with cream and strawberry preserves. It was light and tasty and one of the best I've had at a tea room. Desserts consisted of a raspberry brownie, pumpkin square with a ginger type of cookie cut out in tiny maples leaves, mini pecan pie, and a puff-type of pastry with cream filling and a fresh raspberry. I would highly recommend a visit to this tea room if you're in the area!

Comments: My daughter, mother, and I were shopping downtown one day and decided we needed some tea. Churchill's claims to serve good tea, but the experience left us cold and depressed. The tea was tepid, and ill-prepared, the sandwiches stale and seemed to take on other flavours in the fridge. The owners, cold & aloof, and did little to enhance the service. The odd arrangement of tables was also very uncomfortable, and left us wishing we had gone somewhere a bit more cozy and professionally designed. Tea seems to be an afterthought here, secondary to the china and stuffiness. If you like depressing British things like overprocessed, stale crackers (biscuits), jams, boring china, and other grandma-type items, as a gift shop, this is the place for you!

Comments: I visited Churchill's with a group of friends in December. It was not a good experience. There was a large variety of tea, but the white tea ordered was inadequately brewed. The biggest disappointment was the food. The scones did not taste fresh and the sweets were just boxed British cookies. The tea concluded with a slice of packaged plum pudding served with strawberries, a strange combination. Churchill's has a great retail shop, but the tearoom needs help in the kitchen.

Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Fair.  Food: Fair. Service: Good.  Appearance: Good.
Comments: I had high hopes for tea at the Cincinnatian Hotel. I can best describe the experience as "average." The tea was served in the pot, with the leaves left in. Some may enjoy tea that becomes stronger and more bitter with each cup, but not I. We were served a small assortment of finger sandwiches, then pastries, all of which tasted rather dry and bland, as if they had recently been thawed from the freezer. The Cincinnatian advertises live harp music, which they confirmed when I called to make the reservations. However, on the day we were there, there was no music of any sort. Overall, a nice place to gather to meet friends, but don't expect a first-rate tea experience.

Comments: I had the pleasure of visiting Essencha Tea House last week. I was greated by a charming young waitress who offered me a free sample of 'blueberry rooibos'. It was very soothing and allowed me to relax from the get-go. I ordered the European afternoon tea. Had the best Genmaicha green tea ever. I was amazed by Essencha's loose tea selection, and the waitress' tea knowledge. The service was prompt and food was excellent. I sat and enjoyed my tea for almost an hour. I must say it was the most relaxing time I have had in such a long time. Best of all, before leaving, I made sure I ordered some of the tea I drank to take and brew at home. By the way, I also ordered a sample of the blueberry rooibos. Thanks Essencha for bringing the tea world to Cincinnati and for sharing your love of tea with our city.

Comments: This was my first time in a tea room. It was very nice, clean, and nicely-decorated. We arrived right at the posted opening time and waited for about 5 minutes after that time before the door was unlocked for business. The tea barista (also the Manager's Assistant) was not rude, yet not really pleasant, just more utilitarian. Also, they did not have a take-home tea list, nor a fucntioning website with their tea information. The tea (I had the Silver Needle White tea) was to die for. I will definitely go back just for that. I will give this tea room another chance, and have a full service experience rather than a take-out experience.

The service is sometimes a bit slow, but that's only because they are incredibly crowded and take such care in making thweir tea. I highly recommend the chamomile tea latte, in particular.

Comments: We went to tea on a Monday afternoon, with high hopes as this was a highly rated tea room and we expected a lot of Longaberger. I think that might have been a mistake. The food was only marginal. Everything was a little dried out, as if it had been frozen and thawed a few times. I wondered if there was a lot of leftover food from the weekend that they were just trying to get rid of. The sandwiches were little more than cold cuts on dry bread. No fruits were served. The tea itself was good, with a good variety. The service, while good, seemed rushed. There were only a few tables for the sitting we chose, and it seemed like the wait staff wanted to rush us out, rather than allowing us to have a leisurely tea.
I probably won't go back. But maybe on a weekend it would be better.

Comments: Myself and three friends stopped in for tea and dessert. The selection was amazing. Choices of new york cheesecake to die for. Three different pies and pumpkin rolls. We all tried something different. The best ever. The atmosphere there was so warm and inviting and wonderful. The owner made us feel like family immediately. We entered as strangers and left as friends. Keep up the excellent work . We have watched this business grow from one little room to the whole entire house - she is doing something wonderful. Thanks for a great memory.

Comments: Although my friend and I arrived 45 minutes before closing, we were told that we were too late to be served a meal. We said we only wanted a cup of tea and were told to wait while a sale transaction was completed; upon its completion, the salesperson walked outside with the patrons and stayed on the porch, chatting, for several minutes. When she returned, she walked past us and into the kitchen area. After a few minutes, she returned, told us that it was too late for us to be served at all, and went back out on the porch to chat with the same customers as before (the shop was still 20 minutes from the posted closing time). Since it was obvious that chatting with friends was more important that serving strangers, we left and will not return.

The Tea Room at Remember When, Kirtland, OH

Visited: August, 2004.  Reviewed: August, 2004.
Meal: Afternoon tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Excellent. Service: Fair.  Appearance: Excellent.
Comments: I was rather disappointed on my latest visit to Remember When. It pains me to say it, but I am not sure if I will return. I came with my sister and a friend for the afternoon tea, which we ordered in advance. The food was fantastic, as always. I had a garden salad, the strawberry soup, the sandwiches, and pastries, and a maple scone. It was more food than I could eat, very well-presented.
However, the service was disappointing. My plate had dried food stuck to it, and the teacup and saucer had large, unsightly chips in them. I asked for new dishes and was brought some, but the new ones were still chipped. The waitress said that we could have our tea either iced or hot, and my friend ordered hers iced. All three of us were brought hot tea, however. When I interrupted the server (not the same woman who took the order) from pouring to tell her that my friend's tea was supposed to be cold, she looked very peeved and said that "this one doesn't come iced." We insisted, so she consulted with the waitress and came back and told us we would have to wait for it to cool down, which my friend said was fine. It was brought to her in a little while, with a sprig of mint in a tall, ice-filled glass.
Later, I ordered a second pot of tea, which never came. I figured that the waitress had forgotten and didn't think much of it. But when she presented the bill to us, she said "I'm sorry your tea was late, but we ran out of hot water. You have to take it with you, however, because I already charged you for it." I was stunned, and insisted that since I didn't receive it and didn't drink it, I should not have to pay for it. "Don't you want to take it home?" she pressed. "I'm not going home," I said, wondering how I was expected to carry a potful of tea with me. She unhappily went and rewrote the bill for us.
I think the staff are just overworked. The place was so crowded on that Wednesday afternoon that we had to ask the management where to park, and they moved some employee vehicles for us. I have had some wonderful experiences here, and some not so wonderful ones. Usually the problem is a long wait for the food, but since we ordered the afternoon tea in advance this wasn't a problem. The food, however, is really stellar and worth a visit.

Comments: This tea room is truly a gem! I've been to numerous tearooms in Florida and Ohio and this was outstanding. The scones were done to perfection. My mother and I ordered the full afternoon tea and we were not disappointed. There were maple oat scones, warm from the oven; chilled strawberry soup (delicious), broccoli cream cheese soup (delicious -- not heavy at all), salad, and a three-tiered stand with our sandwiches and desserts. The variety of sandwiches included tuna, egg salad, a lavender chicken salad with pecans and dried cranberries, brie puff, cream cheese with raisins. Desserts included a chocolate top hat, carrot cake, cream cheese brownie, lemon square, mini cheesecake with fresh blueberries, as well as grapes, fresh watermelon slice, and beautiful orange nasturtiums for garnish. This is definitely a place I'll go back to! The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Comments: This tearoom is really the best I have ever been to! Truly elegant, with gourmet food and gracious servers. Definitely worth a visit. A wide range of delicacies, from salads, tea breads, and sandwiches to quiche, brie with apricots in puff pastry, seafood crèpes, and chicken Marbella. Daily specials. Tea breads/scones for $2.75, luncheon entrees all around $7.00. Afternoon tea for $15.95/person with 48 hours notice. Reservations requested. Tea, coffee, chai, hot chocolate, chocolate soda, lemonade, etc. Homemade dessert menu. I recommend the tea sandwiches -- delicious!!! Also wide selection of teapots, tea accessories, and other gifts.

Comments: My sister and I took our mother to the Tea Parlor to celebrate her 75th birthday. Afternoon tea was definitely the event I had hoped it would be. What a surprise to find such an excellent tea room in a rural setting. The seating is very comfortable, the food wonderful as well as abundant but most importantly the tea itself was great. We got to sample three separate teas each made and served in cute little teapots. My eleven year old daughter had the children’s tea and she got to sample two teas made just for her which made her feel very special too. The scones melted in our mouths and oh how yummy the lemon curd tasted. I am already planning to return with some friends as soon as possible.

I got a kick out of the fact the my sister's iced tea was also served in her own tea pot. The sandwiches we ordered were delicious, as were the salads we chose. I wish I would have had room for dessert, because I imagine it would have tasted great too. I have seen the prices at other tea rooms, and Miss Molly's is less expensive.

Comments: First I will say that I did have good service and the food was good though I thought the portions were small for the money. The Dinning room is beautifully decorated but very large and consequently LOUD! Finally, and the reason I will not go back to this tea room again was the way I was treated I checked Miss Molly’s tea room’s website and no mention was made regarding the need for reservations. My mother and I went for my birthday which was a Fri. The hostess asked if we had reservations which we didn’t. She sat us in a high traffic two top table and actually told us that this wasn’t a very good table but because we didn’t have a reservation this is where we had to sit. To make things worse there were about 15 tables with reserve signs on them that were never seated during our entire meal. If you reserve tables then also place a time limit on how long a table will be held. All customers are important and deserve to be treated with consideration.

I sat with my mother for 25 minutes before being able to flag down the hostess who finally took our order for tea. No regard was made as to when the tables were seated and it was apparent that the wait staff were stretched to their limit. The food and tea were lovely when they did arrive.

Comments: It was my daughter's birthday. This tea house certainly don't care who's feelings they hurt even if it is the birthday girl herself. The waitress was in no way going to make things nice for her. They never apologized after making  her cry. The service takes too long. For being a Sat. afternoon there was only two waitresses waiting on people. Be prepared for being there the whole time 11-3 just to get tea and a sandwich. My tea by that time was ice cold twice. The  food was only fair. I have been there twice, once at their old location and now their new. By all means they should of kept the old. From the outside it feels like I was entering an old greenhouse building. The two tea rooms are so small that with my chair pulled all the way to the table and also the customer behind me that there was still no room for the waitress to walk. So she handed us the food and we passed it down. What service. The bathroom needs work. Only one toilet that I saw. In regards to shopping, well put it this way. How can anyone enjoy shopping when 2 people follow you around watching everything you touch. My children by all means were not running around or bothering anyone, but the Ashley Place bothered us in such a way I have been recommending everyone to go elsewhere. Our whole experience was a disappointment.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.
