The Purple Door Tea Room - Ferndale

Very nice set up! Easily accommodated or large group. Nostalgic furniture and pictures. The circus looking dolls really didn't fit the decor as set up, but perhaps would have been great in another setting. Beautiful exterior. Would love to attend with a smaller group, to enjoy the esthetics of the surroundings. The scones were fresh, tasty and delicious (wish we were offered more, only had one a piece) The mushroom soup was delicious! OMG! the run cake was superb! Salad was fresh and delicious, to include chicken salad. Portions were small. Very nice porcelain tea settings! Perhaps I'm unfamiliar with the correct intake of tea but I think honey and perhaps agave should be offered as sweetners along with the sugar/ sweetener packs. I like the way in which the meal was introduced and explained. Servers were very cordial and attentive. Understand this is a tea room, no coffee, no juice, no sodas... they have tea. Not quite sure how many offerings of tea they have not types, because of the function we had, the types were pre- selected as black and herbal. It would be more appealing if the individuals at each table could select the tea or perhaps have a selection process for introducing tea to people as an experience. The menu online is very confusing and seems costly, may deter guest. I'd like to experience again, but not certain how, based on how the menu is reflective. They must take into consideration that bit everyone is okay with consuming alcohol, offer alternatives to the tim cake or the soup or dish prepared with wine.Vegetarian options: Upon requestKid-friendliness: Child must be disciplined to not touch the nice things that are set around. Must be able to sit without bumping the tables as many have settings on them that are porcelain or glass. Very nice place to dress up and have a classy outingParking: In the midst of the neighborhood and business area. Parking limited on the residential street and in main street there's a few spaces. Approx 5 spaces in rear where entrance isWheelchair accessibility: Spaces are tight thing to the main dining area, so I'd let them know ahead of time that space will be needed so the arrangements can be changed around for easy maneuvering of a wheel chairDietary restrictions: Servers somewhat asked about dietary restrictions, however I would call ahead to check menu to assure a good experience

Small servings- Servers were not readily available for asking for more water or hot tea. Ambience was excellentFood: 3/5

Absolutely lovely place. Great service and food! Had an amazing time for my birthday!

Darlene G Las Vegas 11/6/22 The Sunday afternoon baby shower for my daughter at the Purple Door Tea Room was perfect in every way. The decor is charming and the food was delicious. Matthew's menu was spot on for a beautiful Michigan fall day. He treated us to lovely tea and scones, and then butternut squash soup, a baby greens salad with pear, cranberries, pomegranate, feta, and dressed with a raspberry vinaigrette, a charming sandwich selection, and ending with apple crumb cake and fruit compote. The staff was so attentive and wonderfully helpful with every part of the shower. Our sincere thank you for helping to make a beautiful day full of memories.

What an absolutely beautiful place. I was met with grace and comfort and the Detroit symphony orchestra playing live in the background speakers was an amazing relaxing experience. EVERY piece of food was heaven and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone wanting to afternoon tea. The prices were phenomenal too. @purple door tearoom Thank you for accommodating me it was a pleasure and I’m so grateful for an amazing experience. best place I’ve been to in detroit/ferndale thus far.
