Village Tea Room & Gift Shop - Springfield, Illinois

Wow, I never know this place was here. We had my Granddaughters 4th birthday party here and it was awesome. The room was decorated very nice and the tables were set for a tea party. The have a shop where you can purchase all kinds of teas and soap and jelly, candles, nick nacks and more. It was so much to look at just look at all my photos. Thanks.

There should be more than 2 girls working the dining room. We were sat ahead of 4 other people and yet all parties except ours were greeted and had drink orders taken. After a half hour we got up to leave and a waitress stopped us saying she was just coming to talk to us. We ended up staying and eating. I got a "hot" pot of tea that was lukewarm. The food was delicious but not worth the hassle. Best part was the gift shop.

Delightful! I had the lobster bisque, chicken bacon panini and a cheesecake.

The food was ok. However, ordered a hot sandwich. It came out freezing cold. Could see the bread had been toasted but I don’t know when since it was so cold. The dessert was some kind of premade cheesecake. The silverware was dirty and the cups had chips in them. The outlet in the wall had some kind of hole punched through it to have something in the other side of it plugged in. That seems like a violation of some kind. There was a kid delivering food to table. Which to me seems like a health code violation. But the kicker was a kid vomited on the carpet and they just used an old dirty rag to clean it up. No chemicals or anything like that. Will not be going back.

It’s also sad that your response doesn’t take any accountability. You also lied that you knew who I was and we didn’t complain. We did. Nothing was done. But keep lying if that makes you sleep at night. The kid did throw up. We watched it. So again lie lie lie through your teeth.

I love trying new places and I’m so pleased that a girlfriend recommended that we go here for lunch! This place is just too cute and has amazing food. I got the Harvest Salad and Lobster Bisque Soup. So yummy!! And for dessert, carrot cake 🙂 It comes out on this cute stand. Have already started telling friends and family about this gem.

This place is dirty and the servers were rude. It’s also funny reading the other bad reviews and the owner attacks them for leaving honest feedback. They clearly can’t take responsibility. I think training is needed and updating the place to not be so dirty and gross.

This place needs better help and faster service. Our waitress, i believe her name is Naomi. Was running 🏃‍♂️ around like a chicken with it's head cut off. The other older waitress was just to busy complaining about everything. It was very cold in the dining room. My wife had hers and my jacket on! Food was ok nothing to jump up and shout about. Feel sorry for Naomi, i know she's tired when she gets home at the pace she was moving around. We won't be back. First and last time there. You get one chance at my business. Way better places to eat in town, than to wait extended periods to eat lunch!

The food was absolutely delicious but the service was some of the worst I’ve ever had. From the get go, I could tell our server was in a mood and feeling stressed. They were busy when we arrived so we were willing to overlook her brusque behavior. But everything took so long that by the end, it was just us and one other table. For some reason, it took about 20 minutes to get the check. When I mentioned it to management, they said “sorry” and that was that.
