What a lovely place to linger over tea and lunch! Since this was our first time here my sister in law and I had many questions. The staff could not have been nicer or more patient and I was thrilled that the owner/ chef came to visit and talk also! We had lunch, tea and scones. It was delicious. We also both bought sassafras tea for home. Thank you, ladies for a wonderful experience...I can’t wait till my next visit ❤️

I hosted a baby shower at Pinecone Cottage and it was wonderful! The food was delicious and the cute atmosphere was perfect for the baby shower. I received a lot of positive feedback on the food, the tea and the place overall. I highly recommend Pinecone cottage!

2014 - My favorite indulgence! Pinecone Cottage never disappoints. Thanks, Pam & Paul for this little piece of heaven on earth. 2019 - Nearly 50 visits later, Pinecone Cottage is still my happy place! The exquisite cuisine, quaint decor, friendly staff, and, most of all, Chef Pam Geralds are just incomparable. The addition of a la carte lunches means I can now visit TWICE a month, and the holiday events give me something special to anticipate. I can't thank everyone involved in this wonderful business enough for both the com... read more

Please IGNORE any negative comments! This lovely little gem is just a wonderful place! The food was phenomenal and very filling! :-) The tea was sooo delicious! The service was wonderful and it was just great! If people do not like the price, they need to do their homework and look online before they go (as we did). I was not surprised by anything other than how wonderful it all was!! I took my Mom there for her birthday - she is 86 - and she loved it, as well! We also took home some sauces for fish or chicken and jam We wil... read more

What a beautiful tea restaurant with perfect ambiance! The mismatched china, chandeliers, and white tablecloths are straight out of a Victorian grandmother's house. The food was beautifully and exquisitely presented, and of course it tasted great. (ahem Pinecone Cottage also doe catering ahem) Portions were exceedingly generous: bring your appetite. Thank you for making my group's afternoon tea at Pinecone Cottage unforgettable. We are talking Bucket List good. Thanks as well for making it vegan! Everyone absolutely loves Pi... read more

Loved the vegan afternoon tea I had with my group. Call ahead, request vegan, reserve a table, and enjoy the same seasonal menu as guests eating nonvegan just skillfully veganized by a wonderful person in the kitchen! :) eco-friendly place with paper-based rather than styro or plastic to-go containers. They were also accommodating to use my jars or linen bags from home when taking food or tea leaves to go! Great ambience as well!

My FAVORITE teahouse! Pam is amazingly creative. She has a new menu every month for her traditional four-course tea. A couple years ago, she added ala carte options. Going to her beautiful tea house and having a pot of tea and delicious food in beautiful dishes is so relaxing and uplifting. I’ve taken her classes too (most recently, the cooking with Roses class) and I always learn something new and make new friends. It’s always a delight to see Pam and her mom, Lucy.
