The Painted Teacup - Upper Darby

I decided to treat my daughter to afternoon tea at the Painted Tea Cup for her birthday. It was a great choice! It is truly something different to do. Looking on the website, you will need to make reservations. I called and left a message, and they called me back. I also forgot to tell them my daughter is a vegetarian, so I sent a message through their website, and they updated the instructions right away. The Painted Tea Cup is located at 220 S. State Road, in Upper Darby. As we entered, they were very welcoming as they checked for our reservation. We were seated right away and given a menu with the different types of tea they offer. You are allowed 2 teas, one with your lunch and 1 with dessert. We chose the Lady Rose to go with our meal and the Belgian Chocolate to go with the dessert. Loved the Belgian Chocolate the most. It had very subtle hints of chocolate notes that are too hard to describe. They come out with your meal and describe every little sandwich on your plate. I don 't remember anything. All I know is that it was good. (See pictures). Don 't expect a big lunch. They 're little cute sandwiches and desserts that are adorable, but when you finish, you will be full. Also, you can drink as much tea as you like. The dining room is small, so you may get to know the people around you. I found it to be very whimsical, with the antique tea cups all around. It was $30 per person, not counting any tip you would like to leave. I would definitely go back and will recommend the Painted Tea Cup to others.

This place is cozy, and the high-tea experience is phenomenal. Their attention to detail is exquisite right down to the finger sandwiches with the crusts removed. This is a great destination to bring a date or to catch up with friends.

This place is AWESOME. I'm a huge fan of afternoon tea, and the Painted Tea Cup was a wonderful experience. I came here for a bachelorette event, and we were seated in a private room that could hold 15-20 people. It really feels like you're having afternoon tea at someone's house. The decor was so cute and cozy, and even the bathroom was on theme. The teas were great, and the food was also fantastic. They explained everything to us and also accommodated our dietary restrictions. There's a parking lot attached to the building, but there's also plenty of street parking nearby.

Lovely tea room! The selections are always unique and flavorful. The chicken salad croissant is the absolute best. Their tea menu is absolutely massive, and there is truly something for everyone! The only thing that would make high tea better would be a soup, salad, or quiche option. But overall, a wonderful experience!

I came here for a private party for my aunt's baby shower and we were treated so well! We got an entire room sectioned off for ourselves and there was a beautiful long table set up with our individual meals and various tea cups. Because we booked as a large party, we could only try 2 of the teas. I wish we had the option to try more of them, or I wish there were more decaffeinated options. The food was amazing but because it was already pre-plated, I could only try one of each item that came on the plate. I wish they came out in those tiered platters so I could pick and choose what I liked! Since the veggie and meat options were different, there were some items that the vegetarians had that I wish I could have tried. Regardless, the food was very tasty and had a large variety on the plate! I thought I wouldn't be full after eating but I was pleasantly surprised at the portions. They were very filling. I would recommend this place for the hospitality but not for the freedom to choose what you want.
