Crest Hill Tea Room is a small, charming tea room located in The Plains, Virginia, offering traditional British-style afternoon tea experiences. The intimate space features about 8 tables decorated with eclectic, intentionally mismatched china and furnishings that create a cozy, home-like atmosphere. Customers can choose from multiple tea service options including High Tea, Afternoon Tea, and Cream Tea, plus seasonal themed menus. The tearoom is known for its extensive loose leaf tea selection (customers can smell teas before ordering), fresh-baked scones, delicious sandwiches, and beautifully presented tiered trays. Reservations are recommended due to limited seating, though walk-ins are welcome when available.
