Great food, an exceptional selection of craft beers, wonderful staff, and a place to meet new and interesting people. It is truly a tavern experience worth trying. Trust me, once you go, you will plan to go again!

If your looking for some sandwiches on the go, afternoon tea, or a pint or B.A.G. and great entertainment the tea house is the place to go, Rosewood is a great friendly atmosphere unlike anything you’ll find in the entire area. Be sure to check out the entertainment every Saturday evening.

Highly recommend this gem in Lunenburg! Absolutely worth 5 stars!! We enjoyed our breakfast so much we came back for lunch. For breakfast, we had the breakfast sandwich on a bagel and the pancakes. The pancakes are the best I've ever had second only to my Nana's! The bacon was so crispy and cooked perfectly! For lunch, I had the grilled bacon blackberry, which can not be missed!!! I absolutely plan on returning! Worth the drive out to beautiful country for a day of tea and delicious food! The owners are lovely as well!!

A quaint country setting for a meal and tea. The owners were not overbearing, the decor was cute (says my wife) to me it had a unique pub/tea house feel. The breakfast was amazing, I had an English waffle and my wife had an omelet. Both were superb.

Absolutely lovely one of a kind experience. Owner was extremely welcoming & friendly. Steeped tea for us and food was amazing. Menu is changed regularly. Definitely worth a stop I haven’t stopped thinking about it since

Had a lovely breakfast at this quaint and beautiful cafe and tea house. You will want to try the English waffle breakfast. They also offer hand dipped ice cream and wonderful muffins. Homemade beautiful soaps and other wonderful small gifts are available to purchase. They offer tea tasting as well as serving formal tea on beautiful place settings of Fine China. There is a casual area for breakfast lunch and dinner and their sandwich offerings are unique. Casual and cozy. Great place to take a date.

A true gem tucked away in a lovely little town. If you are a fan of tea or charming experiences then you must make a point to stop by. This store is run by a Husband and Wife team who have poured themselves into their establishment and you can taste the passion in every sip and bite. The house is historic and the husband will be more than happy to share some of that colorful history. Everything, and I mean everything, is done in house with the food being prepared by the wife. Every single thing we tried was top notch; the bbq pinwheel and cucumber sandwiches were my personal favorites. The tea was brewed very well and presented in a traditional manner that makes you feel like a kid at a tea party again. It is well worth driving multiple hours for, I assure you that you will leave with a smile on your face and a warm belly. I cannot wait to return to try the bar that they are finishing construction on, I am confident the quality of their tea room will translate to an excellent watering hole. Do yourself a favor and gather some friends and family for tea day, you will wish you had done it sooner.
