A review of my visit to Tealicious Tea House in Delray Beach, Florida.
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a lovely bridal shower at TeaLicious Tea House in Delray Beach, Florida. {Cute name, huh?}
You know how lots of little girls have make believe tea parties at home, hosting fancy little soirees for their favorite stuffed animals? I’ve never really outgrown the desire to sit down to a dainty tea party as an adult. Luckily, the company has gotten a bit more, well… alive. 🙂
My family and I have attended tea parties before and really enjoyed them. I wondered how TeaLicious would compare to the beautiful Chesterfield Hotel in Palm Beach, where we attended our last tea-sipping affair, and was pleasantly surprised to find that TeaLicious has a charm all its own.
The ladies who hosted the shower did a wonderful job of decorating and adding beautiful details to the already inviting space.
TeaLicious is whimsically adorned with touches that give the tea room a feel that is a cross between Alice in Wonderland and the Royal Palace. Wallpaper donning birds, butterflies, and blooms serve as a playful backdrop for gilded antique-style mirrors and jeweled chandeliers. The mix-and-match chairs at impeccably set tables add to a lighthearted feel… because nobody likes a “stuffy” tea party.
Our table was set with delightfully mismatched teacups, saucers and elegant dishes, waiting for a taste of TeaLicious’ teatime menu.

From the moment we arrived, our glasses were filled with Mimosas or Bellinis. The champagne was free-flowing, as was the tea. I know it’s a tea room, but I was amazed by the collection of teas they offer on their extensive menu. {I chose Coconut Key Lime, and it was wonderful!} Each guest was given an entire teapot steeping with their selection.
We were happy that the bites were substantial with all the bubbles that were being consumed! Our server, who was ever so accommodating {and we had a rowdy bunch at our table!} told us that the food was made in-house daily. Everything is brought out on fancy three-tiered servers that are overflowing with both sweet and savory offerings.
While I don’t normally make it a point to review restaurants {unless I find them too good not to share!}, I thought TeaLicious was definitely deserving of some Prep Praise! They made sure that the Bride-to-Be, Christy, and her guests had an unforgettable time, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to hold a luncheon or tea party.

Sure, TeaLicious isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea” {I think the husband would fidget his way into breaking one of their delicate embellishments}, but if you find the urge to sit among the tea-drinking set from time to time, stop by TeaLicious Tea House in Delray Beach.
Pinkies Up!

Jess – Thanks so much! The tearoom was a lovely time, but you can definitely recreate the idea at home {or at school!} with friends… it's the company that makes the party! But yeah, that tea… must hunt that down! 😉

Dianna I don't even know where to start! The tearoom looks ahmazing, and so do these scones! I'm so jealous you got to go there, I mean coconut key lime tea?!? Sigh – until I get to have a tea party of my own I'll just stick with your delicious cheddar scones 😀
