Lady Magpie's Tea Curiosities

Delightful way to spend an hour or two with good company. I've been to quite a few tea rooms but I really enjoyed the steampunk decor and different themes of Lady Magpies dining rooms. We were in the willow room that had a women's suffrage decor and an ice cream theme. (Ask the owner what ice cream had to do with women's suffrage) The food is homemade, and many of the ingredients come right from the garden on the property. The house itself is part of the Tuckerton Seaport museum tour and was the Captains House. I would definitely recommend stopping by Lady Magpies to sample the delicious teas and finger foods when you next visit Tuckerton seaport or if you love tea rooms.

What a wonderful place! Staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. When we arrived, we were greeted by name (based on reservations). We chose the Afternoon Tea menu option with the pear ginger tea; the lemon scones were nothing short of delicious. Everything is made in-house and there are a variety of teas to choose from. The building/decor is the best combination of Victorian era meets Comic-Con. There are multiple rooms, each with a different theme that still holds true to the theme and time era. We were seated next to a cozy fireplace. There is a small gift shop which features an array of goodies.

Afternoon tea was delightful. This lovely historical site had lots of character and interesting tid bits of information. Afternoon tea was delicious. All the food was good. My favorite part was the scones course and the custard dessert cup. We look forward to coming back.

What a lovely place to have afternoon tea. Everything was delicious, tea sandwiches and scones with clotted cream and jam.

I've been to my fair share of tea rooms and this one was a standout. The decor was eclectic but with thought and obvious curation. The food and service, however, were the real standouts! The sandwiches were freshly prepared and balanced ingredients well. There was also a nice variety (a tomato bacon on pumpernickel, strawberry, banana bread, and traditional cucumber). The scones were delicious featuring homemade clotted cream, raspberry preserves, and lemon curd. I was especially impressed with the desserts which were prepared in house and delicious. We're seasonal visitors but we'll be back next year!
