How's the tea at GF?

I'm not talking about the Aurora tea...that's too much for our budget. Just the regular tea. I am thinking of doing this one afternoon with my mom and my 4yo. A little "girls only" treat. Is it good? Worth the money? TIA for any info!

I went in October of 2003 with my DGF. We really enjoyed it. I am not sure a 4yo would like it or not. It's in a lovely little room, almost like an enclosed porch which is decorated very nicely with Victorian accents. It's very pretty and very refined. I don't recall seeing any children there, but please don't let that discourage you. I am almost positive they had a "kid's menu". If you think it is something she will enjoy, I am sure she will treasure the memories of her "Tea with Mommy" for years. BTW, they had great mimosas!

Having reread this post (I'm the son of a gammar teacher), I would suggest getting ino from allearsnet.com and then going. Know what to expect, but sharing time with your daughter in such a memorable setting is an opportunity not to be missed. Be sure to take a few photos for her to have when she's older, too!

Thank you! We actually have "tea time" quite often with her Disney Princess tea set (she gets chocolate milk). I do think she'll enjoy it, especially being alone with mommy and grandma without little sisters in tow. I'll checkout that other site.

Remember, you don't have to order one of the set teas. You can also order a la carte.

And who wouldn't enjoy a cup of tea and some scones along with a lovely bowl of strawberries and fresh cream!

When I was last at the GF afternoon tea, there was a little girl having tea with her mum. She sat beautifully the whole time and looked to be enjoying herself. I could imagine that this is not the right place for every child, however if you think your child could sit through it AND enjoy it then I think it would be a great place. Hope you have a great time...I know we did....and I loved have my chocolate cinderellas slipper

My DD and I have gone every year since she was small. She was a VERY picky eater so she ordered the child's tea (Belle's Tea?). It came with PB&J, a pastry choice and chocolate milk. We always dress up and have a great time. Back then we had tea while the boys rode all the scary rides at MK. Now we do it because it's such a fun and special girls only tradition for us to share. DD is a very girlie girl and still loves tea at the GF at 17!

Awesome idea! Your little one might like the Mrs. Potts Tea (chocolate milk) if she's not a tea drinker...
The selection is great and the setting is relaxing and perfect for a girls-only afternoon. I have taken DD at least 3 times (we stay at GF a lot) and we always really enjoy it!
have fun
