Lady Elegant Tea Room Saint Paul

We were at Lady's Elegant Tea Shoppe for my goddaughter's seventh birthday yesterday. I love this place. LOVE. This little tucked away treasure (almost hidden in a charming little courtyard behind Muffuletta's) has been part of our family's lives for years now. Let me just say that if you want to step out of the frantic world for an afternoon and into a little kingdom of peace, this is your place. Girly, girly, girly, for sure, although while we were there a husband and wife came in to enjoy a high tea. It was so sweet to watch them looking out the window at the little courtyard and talking. Okay, back to our birthday. The menus of tea to choose from are vast. Allow me to recommend bubblegum tea for the little girls and wedding tea for the mommies. We walked in and the place smelled like fresh baked scones. I had called ahead to say that one of our party (me) was gluten free. They had perfectly blanched asparagus wrapped in ham and what I'm pretty sure was Udi's white bread sandwiches for me, and an AMAZING gluten-free scone and little ginger cookies. The girls wore hats from the back wall. We took pictures. We drank tea and asked birthday girl questions (if you could be any animal, what would you be and why), and had a fabulous time. Lady's Elegant is one of my favorite places to hide away from the world and enjoy a peaceful moment of feminine. If you haven't been, go. You'll feel like Lady Grantham and your daughter will feel like a princess.

It is a beautiful, fun, elegant place that gives off a wonderful ambiance. I love getting dressed up and going with the ladies in my family for a day of tea. Every time I go there is wonderful service and great memories are made. It is a great tea room with delicious food and a wonderful verity of tea to choose from.
