Tea With Tracy

Great afternoon with my mother and sister in law! Everything is fresh and delicious and they had a vast selection of teas. Make a reservation for earlier in the day so they don’t run out of any of their delicious scones or desserts. If coming during the winter ask for a table away from the door as it can get a bit drafty.

I would give this place 5 stars for the tea selection. It’s a bit overwhelming how many teas they offer. They also have coffee and different hot chocolates. They have a nice little menu with tasty tea sandwiches, scones, crumpets, cakes, and cookies.
My 89 year old grandmother and 78 year old aunt were very disappointed that they had sold all of the scones at 3pm on a Sunday. They didn’t understand how that was possible considering it’s a tea place known for scones. I tend not to be so hard on something like this b/​c things like this do happen. And the waitress was super sweet and very apologetic. She explained it hadn’t happened before and kept apologizing b/​c she knew my little ladies were disappointed. But she never checked with the kitchen. She could have asked (or even made believe to ask) if there was anyway to make more scones but she didn’t. Again, it wouldn’t have been that big of a deal but after we ate the other food we ordered (in place of not having the scones) the waitress came back and said «We just found that we have 4 scones left in the kitchen» WTH! If she had checked before engaging in a 5 minutes conversation about the kitchen running out of scones and before serving other food items my Nanny and her sister would have had a more positive experience. My aunt only ordered tea b/​c she had her heart set on a scone.
My grandmother and I ordered a few things which came out on plates separately. I thought they would come out on one of those 3 tier platters b/​c isn’t that what a tea place is about?! Either way we did enjoy our goodies. We had a cucumber mint tea sandwich (perfect), a brie cranberry tea sandwich, a chocolate chip pecan cookie (tasty), and the star of the show a little slice of heaven — the most amazing super moist pineapple coffee cake. DAMN, 5 stars for the cake.
So why did I only give 3 stars?! 3 reasons: they ran out of scones but really had a few left in the back which we didn’t know about until after we were almost done with our food, the presentation (separate plates instead of a 3 tiered platter; and when I asked for honey with my tea they gave me a plastic honey bear!), and the girls at the front when we first walked in were a bit short with my grandmother. But the food is good and the selection of tea is extensive.

Cute place but needs some improvement. Food was excellent however a little over priced. Awesome grilled cheese! Awesome bread pudding! Scones ok. Reason for the 3 stars: Many of our tea cups/​creamer had chips in them and stains in the cups. Given that this is a tea room I would expect no chips in the tea cups. There were plenty of servers with poor service and not even a lot of customers. Our saving grace was Justin who came over to our table to see if we needed anything as he saw we were sitting there for awhile unattended. Soup was very tasty but served luke warm. Because the service was so slow, the pot of tea was cold by the time the food arrived. This place needs tea cozies!!! Tea was an excellent flavor. Overall, it was a cute place but need to train staff. Wait staff should look a little more professional as well.

I want to like this place more.
The atmosphere is wonderful. Beautiful and charming décor. The food is good too. I do think they have way to many teas. but they are a tea room. But it is a wonderful addition to downtown Seymour.
My issue is the staff. Well, the owners (husband and wife) actually. They aren’t very friendly. And in the hospitality business they should be.
I have visited this place at least a half dozen times and they are always very blasé. They should take a lesson from their daughters who are quite nice and very helpful.
I would visit more often but this is a turn off for me.

What a cute little place! I had purchased a groupon for the place and took my mom here on a Saturday afternoon for tea.
Upon walking in we were asked if we had reservations, which we didn’t. Though there were plenty of empty tables and we were seated right away.
We order the tea for two, which came with our choice of two scones, two sandwiches and two desserts. Plus two pots of tea. I don’t recall what kind of scones we order but do remember both were delicious! They were served with butter and fresh made jam. We decided to pay a little extra and get the clotted cream, which was totally worth it. For the sandwiches we had the curry chicken and the brie with cranberry jam. Next time I would get the curry chicken again but try something else with it. And for dessert we had pecan pie and a huge chocolate cupcakes. Both we very tasty.
The tea menu was very extensive. The first tea I got wasn’t really my cup of tea and the waiter let me pick a different one instead. I really enjoyed the second one I ordered.
The afternoon tea for 2 is a great deal and plenty big for lunch. This made for the perfect little afternoon outing. Loved all the different china tea cups and saucers.

I love Tea with Tracy! I make it one of my places to take out of town guests! The tea service is wonderful with an abundance of teas to choose from. Everything is fresh and absolutely scrumptious!

I just came from tea with Tracy, let me just say I underestimated this place, I had a groupon so I figured my 7yr old daughter would love it and that she did she beamed the entire time. We love the ambience and most importantly the friendly staff !. It’s a hidden gem and I will certainly return. We paid about $ 9 extra to have tea and a full lunch so worth it!!!

I went there for my birthday and it was such a great gift! The interior is beauitful, a great aesthetic. The tea list is so long, and they also serve coffee so everyone can find something they like. The waitress was so nice and helpful, as we had a groupon. The tea itself was amazing, I got the rose earl grey. Their scones were wonderful as well as their sandwiches. They even have gluten free options, and are also vegetarian friendly! It was such a fun experience all around, I felt like I was in a book or something.

I’m a fan. Brought my 4 year old daughter here. Delicious, extensive tea menu. Service was maybe a little too fast for a «cuppa» tea, but they only have ⁵⁄₆ tables, so i get it. Had Passion Peach tea over ice, Blueberry Crumb cake tea for me, and PB&J, chicken salad, Cucumber mint finger sandwiches. Also purchased Chamomile tea and a Tea Ball diffuser. total $ 38

Absolutely love this little tea shop. I went for Valintines Day and our waitress was super nice. The little sweets are always super delicious, and the tea is always super tasty. I would also recommend checking out the gourmet tea they have for sale, it’s always great to try something new and they always have fun flavors to try! Great place to take a date or a relative.

My daughter and I LOVE coming to Tea with Tracy. The tea is lovely, the treats are divine, and everyone is so kind.

First of all I have to say it was a cute little shop and in the end the food and tea were great.
My issue was the ‘Australian’ scones. I’m Australian, as were the two other people I was there with and never have we heard scones with so many varieties. Overall were disappointed because all we were after traditional scones with jam and cream, like they are in Australia. And we couldn’t get them.
Our server was friendly and extremely knowledgable. We found the menu was extremely confusing and he was very helpful.
I’d still recommend it to others but it definitely was not an Australian recipe we’d ever heard of.

Such a charming little find! Absolutely loved this place. Split the Afternoon Tea for Two with my dining companion and everything was delicious. I got the Chicken Salad tea sandwich (fresh herb style) and I swear it was the best chicken salad I have ever had! I chose the Lemon Ginger tea (refreshing and warming) and the banana bread for dessert. The Swedish Brownies looked sooo yummy — will have to try those next time! The décor of Tea with Tracy is simply adorable. Love the mismatched brightly painted chairs and the mismatched china that all works seamlessly together. If you are thinking of trying this place — definitely DO! You will not regret it!

Just got back from a Downton Abbey themed dinner here… this is such a cute place!!! I used to go to tea rooms as a kid, but never appreciated the charm. The food was really good, started with savory scones, Caesar salad, and stuffed mushrooms. Chicken pot pie with a puff pastry was my meal and it was well done. Also, there were over 100 teas to choose from. The owner, Tracy, came around to each table at the end of the event to see how everything was, which is always a nice touch! I will be back soon with my mom for a nice tea lunch.

This is the cutest little tea shop! My roommate brought me there one day after work and it was great. You can even get little tea cakes and they have so many flavors for sale. We were so sad when the location in the mall closed but, at least we still have the Seymour one!

Nice to know that there is a place were one can have a great cup of tea with a scone or apple pie (torte). A hidden gem in downtown Seymour. Service is friendly, but the servers could use some training … At least stop shuffling about the café.

It’s a novel place to have high tea. There are not many places in CT where one can have scones and tea with clotted cream, and cucumber sandwiches, so this is the next best thing. But still does not compare to the high tea I had by the London bridge.
So yes, I would recommend this place by all means!

I visited Tea with Tracy while attending a baby shower. It was cute, and overall a fun enough experience.
They had reserved a spacious table for our group of 8, and it was not too busy (although I have heard that when they put out their Groupons, the place books up for weeks at a time).
You can order from a huge variety of teas, and they bring you a personal pot of whatever you choose. You can also order tea sandwiches, desserts, and scones. We did the «Afternoon Tea», which was a set price and came with a pot of tea, a scone, a tea sandwich, and a dessert for each person. Holy carbs!
The tea was served in dainty china teacups with saucers, and all of the teapots were different pastel colors. There were doilies and lace and pretty things all about– very girly. I kept feeling like I needed to sit up extra straight and stick out my pinky while sipping my tea like a lady.
I ordered a Ginger and coconut tea, which was OK but definitely not as flavorful as I’d hoped. Everyone else seemed to love their teas, so I may have just chosen poorly. I also don’t like my tea very sweet, so perhaps the lack of sugar was to blame for the passive flavor.
For my sandwich, I had the chicken curry tea sandwich, which was very good. I would have liked a choice of bread type (it seemed white bread was the standard), but it was soft and fresh, and definitely my favorite part of the meal. Everyone else enjoyed their sandwiches as well, and there were some interesting flavors, including cranberry and brie.
I also had a lemon and blueberry scone. It sounded amazing, and I assumed this would be the best part of the meal. However, it was good, but not great, which left me a little disappointed, since it was what I had been most looking forward to about this experience. I was told that their scone flavors rotate, and perhaps this was just not one of their best.
Finally, I had the banana bread as my dessert. Although the vanilla cupcake and the carrot cake looked really, really good, I didn’t think I could handle icing by the I got to my third food item. The banana bread was thick, moist, and fresh– definitely a good pick.
There was also loose-​leaf tea for sale by the register. It smelled really fresh, and was priced far better than the tea shops I’m used to visiting in west Hartford, so I bought two types of Green tea (large canisters for $ 12 each). They came with airtight containers in which to store the tea, which was great (I dislike that you have to buy the containers separately at Teavana in Westfarms).
This was definitely not my scene, and I probably won’t end up back here unless another friend chooses it as a location for a baby shower or bridal shower or something of the sort. but that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s a cool place. Despite not being a huge fan of girly tea parties, I gave this place 4 stars. I can see why Tea with Tracy has regulars– the food is good, the prices are great, the service is friendly, and it’s a unique experience– the only place I know of in CT where you had have a full-​fledged grown-​up tea party.

What a delicious little gem, a new discovery in my own backyard. My husband and I were looking around at local options for lunch, and stumbled across Tea with Tracy, which is just off the beaten path. We were lucky that they could accommodate us without a reservation – at 1pm on a Tuesday, the place was hopping! We had an absolutely lovely server who was attentive and friendly without overdoing it. We had afternoon tea, sampling scones (lemon blueberry, delicious, dense and still warm), tea sandwiches (cranberry & brie, which was delightful, and classic chicken salad, which was truly delicious), and desserts (my husband thoroughly enjoyed his apple torte, my carrot cake was moist and spicy and thickly frosted – heaven!).
And of course, there’s the tea to talk about. Over 100 varieties of tea to choose from! My husband is a purist and drank Irish Breakfast, but I was pining for my time in England and drank Black Currant flavored black tea. The whole experience was delightful and leisurely – we never felt rushed. In fact, we chose to linger a bit longer over a second pot of tea each, and could have cheerfully spent the whole afternoon in the sunny tearoom.
So charming and delicious, we can’t wait to go back. In fact, I’ve already got a date set to bring my mom up for lunch in a few weeks. This should be a must for anyone looking for a little something different in the Valley.

I’ll admit, I honestly never would have even thought to look for a «tea» place. I didn’t really think it was a thing. but it was on Groupon so it must be true. lol Tried to come here with a friend on a gorgeous day without a reservation and were turned away at the door. They were booked the entie day! What? Who knew? So we made a reservation of an upcoming Sunday.
Sunday we arrived and we were so excited TODAY was our day for our tea party! Woot! The place is super cute, very girly. Perfect for a bridal shower, wedding shower, littel girl’s birthday Tea party or a Kentucky Derby party, etc. and they have a private room for such the occasions. This place was very relaxing, not pretentious or snooty and the staff was attentive and friendly. Over 100 teas to choose from. say what? I started with the very first one. Almond Sugar Cookie. delish! We had the basil scones, cranberry/​brie tea sandwiches and Italian Wedding soup (i think?). All were perfect portions and tasty. I don’t know how often I would get a chance to return, it’s kind of out of the way, but Im definitely planning to bring my boyfriend’s daughters here. let them dress up fancy and have a spot of tea. They would love that!
