Inspirations Eatery And Events

An excellent, quaint and beautiful place to enjoy great breakfast or brunch, and an abundant assortment of gourmet tea and coffee!
I would recommend making a reservation and enjoying the «Tea Room» experience where you order from a special menu that offers an assortment of food that come with a delicious flaky scone, the main entrée (with salad and a cup of soup) and at the end, an enormous wedge of fluffy cake with your choice of 3 different flavors (coconut, chocolate or carrot).
A definite must try in the Edmond area!

Have you ever been to a wonderful place, yet hesitated to post a review for fear you would tarnish that quaint, local feel you enjoyed? That is how I am feeling at this moment, literally between a rock and a hard place. I am feeling the pressure of being a Unilocal Elite and wanting to keep this local spot to myself. Okay, okay… I know I am being selfish.
I stumbled upon this lovely, little coffee shop and tea room a few months ago during my last trip back to Edmond, although they have been around since 2004. I say little, yet it is much more roomy than any coffee shop I have visited lately. Upon entering, you are in the main dining area and approach the ordering counter. They offer a room for tea service and also a room for reserved parties. The hours are 8 – 4, so don’t come too early. (I was shocked when I went to another local favorite and paid $ 8 for a large coffee!) You won’t be doing that here my friend. The prices are very reasonable. In addition to coffee and a nice variety of both iced and hot teas, they offer olive oil samples and bottles for sell in addition to adorable gifts. If you are have forgotten that office party and need a last minute gift, this is your stop, ladies, perhaps not so much for the guys unless they are into cooking?
The menu: Breakfast and lunch have a lovely ensemble of delicious options! Breakfast sandwiches, waffles, wraps, soup, salads, grilled sandwiches for lunch, both breakfast and lunch quiche, etc. A children’s menu is offered as well and a special tea service menu is elegantly presented if you choose.
The staff are wonderfully friendly and free wifi is available, however, no outlets to plug computers in for students to linger.

A friend suggested we lunch here today, and I absolutely loved it! The set up is so cute inside and it feels kind of intimate even though they have a lot of seating. You walk up and order at the counter and get a number to take to your table, and then they bring you your meal. I’m not sure if they always do this, but we all received a free scone with our food! I ordered the «Gourmet Grilled Cheese» and the tomato basil soup. Everything was proportioned really well and tasted super good.
We snagged a seat outside on their very large patio, and with the beautiful sunshine and flowers/​trees around, it was a great little setting. They also have more of a sunroom that is indoors that you can sit in that has great natural light. I just really liked the options of where you could sit; it ends up being a very large place. They sell a lot of little trinkets and things for your home (décor, soaps, teas etc). As we left I thought «This would be a great place to get a little house warming present or birthday presents»! I am excited to re-​visit this little Tea Room because it is so close to my house, and they have a wide variety on their menu for breakfast, brunch and lunch. This is a little hidden gem in the middle of Edmond!

I’m taking to social media to express my dissatisfaction with Inspirations Eatery, also known as Inspirations Tea Room. I made reservations several weeks ago for a Christmas party for my Bible study ladies. When I arrived yesterday, I was told that they would not move tables together to accommodate a large group. So we were split up, and you know, when you are a group who knows each other well and wants to share and celebrate an occasion together, putting eight people at one table and four at a separate table is just not conducive to fellowship. I expressed my dissatisfaction to management, and was simply told that the owners would not allow them to move tables. I asked why, and they said it was less disruptive to other diners and less confusing for their staff. Well, the tea room area was completely full, and I don’t think my group was any louder than any of the others. Also, if their staff can’t take care of 12 people at one table, well, maybe they need a new staff or better training. They also won’t do separate tickets. Overall, I just found them difficult to deal with and I won’t go back there. If you’re planning a party for a group larger than 6 people, you probably want to go somewhere else. That’s a shame too, because it’s a nice atmosphere. Maybe they should get off their high horse and get down to pleasing customers. That’s my two cents worth. Have a great day!

This is my new favorite place in Edmond. It’s absolutely adorable, the food is delicious, and there is SO much tea. It’s a huge space too, so it’s great for studying. This is my new favorite place to get together with friends too; it definitely makes for a perfect girls day outing!

First time at the Tea Room today, was a great meal and service. There was quite a few of us and they served us with kindness. Well decorated, very lovely and most important a Christian restaurant absolutely love the scripture given with our entrée. What a nice place.

A christian-​based business has brought a sense of escape from the daily grind here in Edmond with a very relaxed atmosphere and flawless interior as well as exterior design. The breakfast is not only delicious and the healthiest I’ve had in the metro but the quiet nature of the place is perfect!

Who knew such a lovely tea room existed right here in Edmond? Inspirations is impressive in its scope: it’s a tea room, café, and store all in one and attached to a bed and breakfast. Make sure to make a reservation for your tea party because that tea room was definitely busy.
I hosted a group of ladies from Nerdy Girls OKC for lunch, and needless to say, we had a lovely time. The tea selection was magnificent. There were many options, but I ultimately decided upon the rum butter tea. And oh my word, was that heaven in a tea pot.
The food was excellent. Starting off, you’re presented with a heart-​shaped scone and lemon curd. For a meal, there was plenty to choose from. I opted for the lunch trio with veggie quiche, salad, and a cup of tomato bisque. That tomato bisque was some of the best I’ve ever had. The trio is a bit of misnomer because it comes with dessert too! I more or less had a 4 course meal for $ 15. Others felt their selections to be excellent as well. A couple ladies ordered the tea party for 1, which gets you desserts, sandwiches, and the like on a tiered platter for $ 20.
The service was wonderful, the atmosphere lovely, company excellent, and all with good food and great tea. I hope to bring my staff here for our holiday party this year, and even though it’s just end of September, I can’t wait to return!

Pretty great place, I’ll tell you what.
In case you hadn’t realized, it’s attached to the B&B, The Two Hearts Inn. But it’s for erry’one. I’m glad I know about it now, because the food is good stuff and the staff are all smiles and sweet.
I only ate there (twice) for breakfast, but I ordered something different both times. Technically, both of my meals were «free» because the Jeff and I were staying at the B&B next door and that’s part of the package. But for $ 250something a night, I’m gonna go ahead and say I paid for it. Ya dig?
Quiche lorraine (⁵⁄₅): It also comes with a good portion size of fresh fruit. On the site it’s described as «slice of quiche with eggs, crème, Gruyère cheese, smoked bacon, and a touch of nutmeg in a flaky crust», which is accurate. THAT CHEESE, THO. Flaky crust to boot. All in all, a good choice for $ 5. It’s not common to get a filling breakfast for that much. The slice was well and good and with the included fruit, done deal.
Breakfast panini (⁵⁄₅): «grilled sourdough bread with egg, tomato, smoked gouda, and chicken spinach sausage». That sausage is on THE LEVEL. I personally had them leave off the tomato and instead cast it into the pits of Hell where it belongs. That’s stellar customer service.
They also have hot teas which are great. I tried their formosa oolong. It was good, but I feel like maybe just a tad off on the water to leaves ratio so it wasn’t as flavorful as it could be. I also had the tropical rainforest green tea. I liked that one a touch better. They serve bubble tea as well, but in a very «fancy» fashion. No frozen smoothies here if that’s the type of boba you prefer. Simply the regular tea with tapioca pearls inside. I had the blue sapphire for this one and it was quite tasty. The tapioca pearls had some impressive stability.
There is an area where they sell tea and tea accessories (I tell you HWAT) along with tons of oil dispensers. There are some other little trinkets as well, but those are the main focus.

I love inspirations! They have breakfast now and it is delicious! The breakfast panini is my favorite, and it comes with super fresh fruit! I come in every Saturday morning for a caramel latte (triple shot so I can handle the day!) miss Rebecca who runs the front makes it for me and let me tell you, she knows what she is doing! Their coffee is amazing.
But my favorite thing is that every time I come to eat the chef comes to check on me and make sure my food was great (which is always is). I really can’t say enough great things about this place.
Awesome food, awesome coffee and boba tea, awesome staff. Just awesome.

This is the most unique café/​tea room I’ve ever been too. Traditional, classy set up that will not bore you. They encourage «faith, family, and friends». They have a beautiful tea room in addition to the big eatery. They also have a small but cute gifts section where you can buy cards, olive oil, and tea accessories.
I came in by myself for breakfast and ordered their «Parfait au fruit» along with a large Mocha, and I was quite impressed. I must also point out that the fruit was surprisingly fresh. I will definitely come back to this place again some day.

Unique, traditional tea set up, quality, delicious and memorable experience. Exceptional place for tea, celebrations, memorable birthdays, or simply to enjoy a lovely time with friends. Even suitable for young children (not tiny, but young). The presentation and variety is simply lovely. Great experience with my mom for her birthday.

This place is fun, unique, and delicious. They have a limited menu and you have to pre-​order tea party trays if you want that, but the space is gorgeous– perfect for a bridal luncheon, baby shower, or just a fun girls lunch!
They have a small gift shop that has some great tea accessories and a section of some great olive oils and balsamics.
I recommend the quiche, scones and coconut cake! They also have an incredible selection of hot teas. Try the Paris tea with cream!

Such a cute place! Prefect place to take your girlfriends. The decorations are amazing. The food was soo good! Such a good place for breakfast or lunch. I can’t wait to go back!

Used to love this place but recent changes from table service to counter orders and revised menu really did it for me. I’ll only go back if I have reservations. Sad for the change, not sure why it was necessary the place was always packed.

This tea room is beautiful. I really should say rooms; there are multiple rooms. We had a private luncheon in one of the private dining rooms. The main dining area is beautiful and next time I really want to sit in their sunroom type area-​gorgeous wooded view.
Our server, Apryl, was knowledgeable and attentive. Couldn’t have asked for better service. They served us delicious fresh scones with lemon curd when we first sat down.
Although the ambience, décor, tea and service were five star the food was not up to par. The bread on our sandwiches did not taste fresh, and the cheese and fruit on the tea party for one trays was not what I expected. Two microscopic blocks of American mild cheddar with some mealy red grapes. The cupcake icing tasted out of a can and the cupcake and brownie bite tasted dry, maybe out of a fridge or freezer?
The people in our party who got the duo or trio had a way better experience with the food. Their sandwiches and salads were fresher and dessert was a nice slice of cake or cheesecake. Skip the Tea Party for One and get the trio! Better quality and value.
I also saw a bunch of little girls enjoying the princess tea. How cute was that!
PS They have a great gift shop with high end gifts and tea and olive oil products.

This is such a quaint place! Our server, Hannah, was fast and very friendly. They have a lovely and extensive tea menu. You have some staples, such as jasmine and masala chai, but there are also some wonderful blends and unique takes on classics that are a must try. I had the rum butter Irish breakfast, and a small creamer of milk to add in, which was delectable! I wish that honey was available at the table along with the sugar packets, especially since they honey packets by the tea samples in the shop. I know I could have asked for honey, but I didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary. Sugar was good enough, I just like honey more. We started off with scones, which were soft and relatively moist, and lemon curd that complemented the scones perfectly. The food was plentiful. I had the lemon blackberry salad trio, which was half the salad, a side (fruit for me), tea, and dessert (I chose a slice of the super moist chocolate cake). Though it says half a salad, there was actually quite a lot of it. It also came with a honey glazed croissant that was so good. My daughter had the princess tea party for one, which just lit up her face. There was a turkey and cheese croissant sandwich, a heart shaped peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich with sprinkles, fruit, cheese, a chocolate cupcake, a chocolate covered strawberry, and some sort of chocolate cookie thing. She also had a choice between tea, milk, or pink lemonade. She chose the lemonade, which came out in her own teapot and small tea cup. Everything about it was so much fun. My only complaint was that the teapot and tea cup used for the «grown up» tea was just a boring, plain black. For a tea room, especially of its more quaint caliber, I’d love to see some a little more decorative and fancy. What they show on the website is not at all what was used… except for one piece used to hold the sugar packets.
The shop is filled with the tea varieties you can order with your food, various flavors of olive oil and balsamic, tea accessories, scone mixtures, jars of lemon curd, knick knacks, décor, and more. Some of it was overpriced as I had expected (so no sticker shock there), and some was very reasonably priced. I bought the tea I had for lunch and a container of 10 of the scones.
Everything about this place was just so wonderful, from the service to the food to the ambiance. Even the *bathroom* was wonderfully decorated. I will most definitely be back. As a big tea drinker, I am looking forward to trying more of their tea varieties.

I am not the type to frequent a place as fancy as this, but my niece wanted to have a «tea party» style birthday. It was actually adorable and so much fun! The selection of hot tea will blow your mind. I started with spiced cinnamon and then moved on to crème brûlée. Both were great. You can also order any of their teas cold, and they have a shop with all of their teas so you can buy some to take home. After they served our tea they brought out a «princessy» tower of goodies for my niece including a sandwich, cupcakes, grapes, some marshmallow mess of goodness, and some other things. I had the house salad, a soup, and a sandwich. I would highly recommend this spot if you have a little one wanting a fancy tea party.

I love Inspirations Tea Room. I have been going here for years. I actually had my bridal shower here as well. Tea rooms have a tendency to look like a garage sale or grandmother’s attic. They usually have antiques, are cluttered, and the food is an after thought. Inspirations is different. They are classy. The décor is very elegant and chic; no fake greenery and dusty old couches here. They have three different seating areas: a gold and red room (my favorite), a black and white houndstooth area, and a garden room, which is on an enclosed patio. All of them are nice. Half of the tea room is their gift shop, which is mostly candles, loose leaf teas and accessories, and their bulk olive oil and vinegars. It is a nice place to find unique gifts, and the olive oil and vinegars are so fun to try and experiment with at home since they have so many flavors.
Now for the food. Everything I have had here is good. It is nice because their food is not necessarily just dainty, but they offer decent sized portions (good for a mixed crowd). My favorite thing to order is the tea room trio, which is a salad, soup, and an entrée (chicken salad sandwiches, quiche, etc), plus dessert and unlimited iced tea for $ 14 (they throw on some cheese cubes, crackers, and fruit too). You can actually make any entrée salad or specialty sandwiches a trio too. They offer some delicious big salads with lots of fresh and creative ingredients, and they feature homemade dressings using the olive oils and vinegars that they sell. My favorite dressing is the Aegean dressing, which is a greek dressing with chunks of feta in it. I typically order the Quiche. I have yet to have a soup there that I didn’t enjoy, and they are all obviously homemade using good quality ingredients. The dessert typically consists of your choice between chocolate or coconut cake, and occasionally a third option. You can also get two of their fresh scones and lemon curd for dessert. OMG the scones and lemon curd! Soooo good!!! One heart shaped scone and a small container of lemon curd comes complimentary for each person with your meal. They have several different flavors that they rotate, but all of them are fresh, soft, and flaky. Divine, really. They typically have 3 flavors of iced tea per day, but they have a huge (the size of an extensive wine list) menu of loose leaf teas that you can order hot in a small pot, or they will also serve it over ice for you. It is fun to try different flavors. If you are wanting to sample lots of their food and teas, then getting the Ultimate Tea Party is the way to go. The Ultimate Tea Party includes a three-​tiered tray with savories and sandwiches on the first tier, fresh fruit, scones and lemon curd on the second tier, and seasonal desserts on the third tier. Served with soup or salad and your choice of unlimited hot and cold teas. It costs $ 19.95, but it very filling and allows you to try so many different options, plus the unlimited tea is so much fun! It does require a 24 hour reservation, so make sure to plan ahead. I have brought several children to Inspirations, and both boys and girls have seemed to have fun. Their kids menu is super cute and they get their own tiered tray, lemonade in a tea pot, and cupcake. I would say the crowd is mixed though; half groups of ladies lunching and half kids having fun with their families. The service is always good, with sweet servers. I love that Inspirations pays attention to details. They have teapot shaped napkin rings, tiny plates, unique dishes, etc. They sent me a thank you card for having my bridal shower at the tearoom; I was very impressed. Inspirations is a favorite among my family and girl friends. It is always a treat when I get to go there. I highly recommend it.

Great ambiance… Perfect place to have lunch with girlfriends or your daughter…
Their olive oils and balsamic is awesome!!!
