Blue Willow Tea Room - Petersburg

This is a lovely place to relax. The staff was incredibly friendly and engaged in conversation with the guests. We ordered the afternoon tea, which included several tiers of delicious food that were more than enough for my wife and me, along with two pots of tea. I highly recommend this spot.

I absolutely adore this place! They offer an impressive variety of teas, and the small sandwiches are delightful. The soups and desserts are typically excellent as well.

This charming little shop was quite delightful. The selection of teas was excellent. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the sandwiches, but that's just my own taste. The waitress was very accommodating and eager to adjust something to suit my preferences. My dining companion, however, enjoyed the sandwiches, so I assume they were good. I was surprised to learn that the desserts change regularly. On the day we visited, the dessert offering was a "death by chocolate" theme, featuring fruit, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, and chocolate cheesecake. While it was all fine, I'm not particularly fond of chocolate, so my experience could have been better overall. That being said, I don't hold it against the shop due to my personal preferences. I recommend that anyone planning to visit asks in advance about the desserts, soups, and sandwiches available, to ensure they will enjoy what’s on the menu. Since it was my first time there, I didn't realize the menu changes daily. Now that I’m aware, I’ll definitely give it another try, keeping these factors in mind.

My sister and I decided to come here for a little sister date this afternoon and we LOVED it! The atmosphere is super cute; a mix of antiques and vintage charm. I did call ahead and make reservations; though they aren't required. Everything was nicely spread out and the server wore her mask the whole time. The tea selection was great and the server had great recommendations on what to order for 2 people to split. We had the full afternoon tea and it was amazing! The strawberry chocolate tea was delicious and the assorted sandwiches, pastries and fruit paired very nicely. They also have other options if you're feeling wine and cheese or lighter food. We will definitely back!

Wonderful experience at this pearl in old town Petersburg. Went out with my best friend for our weekly 'lunch and talk '. We like to explore places that are pleasant to the soul as well as the palate. The tea sandwich sampler was a delight but it was the dutch chocolate mousse cake that truly made me believe I was in heaven (yes it was that good!!! . This old townhouse functions both as a tea house and as an antiques store with several rooms to browse through on the bottom and the top floors with all kinds of treasures. Will definitely be back!!!!
