Enjoy a cup of tea at one of Ohio’s area tea rooms.
I have a secret to share. I love tea rooms. Whether I am enjoying tea with a family member, friends or while reading a really good book, there is just something about tea rooms and those darling teacups, fancy tea sandwiches, delectable scones and pots of tea-infused water that seems to draw me to tea rooms any chance I get.
Over the past few years, I have made it my personal mission to seek out all the tea rooms located around Ohio. Enjoy a pot of tea, sample their scones, and take time to explore the towns and areas around them. Hopefully, one day I can say I have enjoyed tea at all of them.
But for now, as I travel around Ohio enjoying my pots of tea and scones, as well as my little moments of serenity, I will share information about the tea rooms I visit, as well as a few of My Ohio Fun Road Trip notes, listing additional areas of interest near each tearoom. As I continue to visit Ohio’s tea rooms, I will update the list.
As always, thanks for following @MyOhioFun on social media.
One more thing. I rescue English teacups from garage sales. Is that too much information?
Quintealia’s Tea Parlor
A few years ago I had to opportunity to bring one of my “Fall in Love with Ohio” bus tours to this charming Victorian tea parlor located on the Square in Burton, OH. Quintealia’s Tea Parlor resides in the historic Ford House, a 1891 mansion built by George H. Ford, Burton’s first mayor. Since my first tour, I have had the pleasure of taking additional tours and friends to this quaint tea room.
A few of my favorite Quintealia menu selections include their Cottage Pies, the Farmer’s Market Quiche and their Afternoon Tea service. You can not go wrong ordering any one of their dessert selections, including their fresh baked scones.
Location: 14585 E. Park Street , Burton, OH 44021 (Geauga County)

The Perky Kettle Tea House (and Bubbles Bar)
Taken from a chapter out of Alice in Wonderland, the Perky Kettle Tea House will have you feeling like you have escaped down the rabbit hole. From the whimsical quote above the fireplace, announcing this is the gathering place of the T.E.A. Society, “Travel, Exploration & Adventure Society”, to the Alice Parlor with a tiny secret door and the Hatter’s Bubble Bar where you can enjoy bubbly cocktails, wines and beer.
Miss matched dishes and artwork, as well as your own “tea timer”, just adds to the charm of this little tea house in Chesterland Ohio.
The day of my visit, I ordered their Afternoon Tea, a 3-tier sampling of house favorites. The first tier consisted of their coronation chicken salad, cucumber dill and egg salad. The 2nd tier included two scones, a vanilla and a chocolate chip scone, as well as three varieties of jam. On the 3rd tier I was treated to two of their shortbread cookies, an additional cookie with jam, and a macaron. The cucumber sandwiches had just the right amount of dill and the homemade lemon curd was delightful. Only regret was that I did not get to sample their clotted cream. For those who are looking for a traditional chicken salad, their spin on the tea favorite will leave you wondering what spice did they put in that? Cumin?

Miss Hickory’s Tea Room
Miss Hickory’s Tea Room resides in the home of Strongsville’s first blacksmith. Owners Joe and Cona purchased the 1830 farmhouse and converted the historic home into the tea room.
When you enter the front parlor you will be greeted by friendly staff and a “tea steeping station”. Make sure you check out the cute tea cup lights. The staff is dressed in early 1900’s attire, and the whole atmosphere will make you feel like you have stepped back in time.
I can now say I have enjoyed tea service twice at Miss Hickory’s Tea Room. The first time, I ordered the quiche of the day, along with the broccoli side salad. And for dessert, I enjoyed their Signature Chocolate Cream-Filled Cake. What’s not to love about a chocolate cake that has a marshmallow buttercream frosting and a chocolate ganache icing. Even the doily and pearls were edible.
During my most recent visit, I sampled their chicken salad sandwich, which included grapes, dried cranberries, shopped walnuts and celery in a creamy dressing. I also enjoyed a cup of chicken pot pie, which happened to be their soup of the day and of course a side of their delicious strawberry pretzel salad.
Miss Hickory’s Tea Room is the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon of tea with friends or family. Don’t feel like cooking the next day? Order a few of your favorites to enjoy later.

The day of my visit I ordered the potato crusted quiche platter. Although I enjoyed my selection, I guess you could say I am still a fan of an old school traditional dough crust for a quiche. As far as the scone, absolutely delightful and not small.
