I had to comment on how nice everyhing was for my bridal luncheon. The food was so beautifully presently, fresh and the friendly service always with a smile...and for a party of 20. I had the Berkley wrap and Gazpacho..\r \r I had a hard time finding it though, it has moved to off Green Street by Swallow in the Hallow. My GPS took me to an old location so be sure to get the Roswell Location ... th Mitties inAlpharetta doesn't compare.\r \r more

very friendly...I will go back soon,,,party went off without a hitch...food was soooo good more

I was heading south on Canton street and made a left on Plum- One way now- toward Alpharetta Hwy- Saw a cute little place on my right and decided to check it out.Turned out to be a great decision! People were upbeat and had good energy.I ordered the California spring salad with salmon and it came with fruit and a killer muffin- I found out the Raspberry vinaigrette dressing was homemade-Man Was That Salad GOOD! My waiter was really cool-I think his name was Paul or Pauly? and telling me all about the future plans of the place and how the old owner returned after years to restore it to a first class Roswell Restaurant~So Far So Good! Almost forgot they gave me a taste of their chicken salad-Bam! was that good ~ Think i will get some to go soon! Hard to find but what a terrific experience from soup to nuts - Without Reservation! more

I just recently spent a week in Roswell during the holidays. I was pleased to know that Mittie's is finally back to it's original owner and management! Thank God. After about 2 years, Mrs. Lynn the founder, has the restaurant back. It's so much cleaner now, more space, and the service is much better. The whole atmosphere has changed to a much more laid back and peaceful place to eat. Let's not forget about the food though! Wow. The food is incredible. I can eat the original chicken salad and lobster bisque all day, every day. I hope all you guys who had a bad experience will go back and check it out now! more

I chose to come to Mittie's after viewing their menu online. I normally do not go to places like this, because they usually cost more than I'm willing to pay for a sandwich, however this was a special occassion and wanted to have a nice dinning experience with my friend before she moved out of the country. I did read the reviews and was hoping our experience was going to be different than the previous customers. We were having a wonderful time and enjoyed our food until it came time for my party (3 in total) to pay the bill. We needed separate (2) bills and I had a coupon. Kate our server and soon to find out the owner told me that the computer wouldn't separate the bill and that she would add up my friend's part and then I would pay the rest. My friend's part of the check was correct, however my part seemed too high. I asked Kate if she had added a tip to my bill and she said she had, this bothered me because I didn't think the service was all that great. I tried going over the bill but not wanting to embarrass my company, I chose to pay the bill and leave. On my way out I asked Kate if I could have the original receipt. Later on that day I was able to sit and go over the bill and I as I had figured, I had paid too much! I even had my husband go over the receipt and he too came up with the same conclusion. The next morning I chose to drive over to Mittie's to talk to Kate about this matter. I arrived at 9:30 AM as the website states that's when they are open however they weren't and Kate wasn't there. When Kate got there almost at 10, she seemed to be nice until I explained my problem then she started acting ""put out"" and her demeanor changed! She explained that using a coupon gives her the right to add an 18% tip to my bill! But the amount I paid still wasn't adding up. What it came down to was that Kate added the 18% tip for the WHOLE bill onto my total!! After figuring it out and asked her about it, she rolled her eyes and was huffing and puffing. In the end I did get some of my money back but not all of it. I do have to say some of what happened was my fault, I had not read the fine print on the coupon and I should've gone over my bill right then and there. I know that I shouldn't get upset over a few dollars, however in these times every dime counts for my family! What was even more shocking Kate never apologized for over billing me! I'm not sure if she over charged me on purpose or not, but an apology would've been nice. The food was great however, be cautious when looking over your bill and using coupons!\r \r My other problem with Mittie's was the bathroom it was cluttered with junk and and there wasn't any soap! The base boards had black gunk on them! For this type of place I expected the restrooms to be in better shape! Pros: variety in the menu, food was tastey Cons: might be over charged and bathrooms need cleaning! more

We were shopping in downtown Roswell the other day and stopped in to Mittie's for a quick bite and a cup of tea. This place is a hidden gem in the area. I tried a tasty blt and a cup of green tea. Quick service, great food- cool place. I'll be back. more

I tried a mixed Tea blend that I loved while living in Aus...It was Lemon Grass and Jasmine and it came it quite well. Kate the owner spent a good deal of time with me making sure that I was happy with the blend. Pros: Helpful and Knowledgeable more

I have really tried to like ths place, it is very close to where my children go to school, but really!!! Last time was the last straw, when, after our meal, one of the ladies that run the place hunted me down at a near by coffee shot to tell me that I hadn't left enough tip???? I explained that I in fact left more that a 25% tip. She said ""Oh, maybe I've made a mistake"". No, ""I'm sorry for embarassing the crude out of you"" or any apology of any kind. My Daughte (6 years old) put it best when she said ""Mom, this place is creepy!""!! Pros: I think the kitchen is trying? Cons: The two ladies that run this place are rude!!!! more

Visited June 2008 - Extremely disappointing! This establishment should NOT advertise as a Tea Room. The tea is bagged and almost choiceless! To get a proper serving of tea - you must pay an extra price above and beyond the High Tea price listed. Outrageous. The food was minimal, the sweets were frozen treats that you can buy from Sams Club. The service was even worse! ! ! Having a tip automatically added in is quite a ploy on the restaurant part as it's probably the only method a server can obtain a tip. Slow service, rude service, no followup.\r DO NOT GO HERE IF you want good food, good service, clean atmosphere. DO GO HERE if you want to be avoided, eat poorly prepared frozen food, and like a musty moldy atmosphere. Pros: Nothing Cons: Entire Experience more

Like another reviewer, I too have visited Mittie's for many years and have always felt their chicken salad might be my choice for my ""last supper"" one day. However, last spring I sat down with one of the assistants and got quotes and general information for Mittie's to provide the food for a wedding shower I was hosting for 30 guests. The event was OVER 2 months away. At the end of the meeting, I was asked to leave a $100 deposit to reserve their services. I was planning on researching other vendors and would NEVER have left a deposit if I had been told it was ""non-refundable"". As the other reviewer indicated, less than 24 hours later, my plans had changed and I phoned to cancel and ask that my deposit check be either returned or torn up. I tried to have a pleasant conversation with the owner, but she accused me of lying and assured me that I HAD been informed that it was non-refundable. I had signed nothing and did not even leave my meeting with a written quote...just my scribbled notes on my own paper. As a consumer I have never been spoken to as I was. Rude hardly describes it. I WILL NEVER GO TO MITTIE'S AGAIN AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADVISE MY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES TO DO THE SAME. Pros: great chicken salad Cons: unprofessional, condiscending and rude management more

I chose Mittie's for a Mother's Day brunch for two. One of the few places I hadn't yet tried in the Roswell Square area and thought a tea room would be a sweet idea for Mother's Day. The management is ungracious (if not down right rude) towards patrons - you'd think they'd never dealt with a lunch rush before. The food isn't anything special and the establishment not particularly charming. My recommendations to their mgmt follow:\r \r 1. If staff is unable to greet a caller when answering the phone, then they shouldn't answer. If someone is calling to make a reservation is it rude to not acknowledge them and expect them to listen to you finish up another side-bar conversation before saying ""hello"". 2. If staff feels they have to yell into the phone or repeatedly tell callers to ""speak up"", turn the the music down. 3. Remove one of the two-top tables along the bench. While I expect most establishments in this area to be quaint and cozy, this place packs you in to the point I was constantly being bumped by the waitstaff and patrons walking past. Perhaps if you're seated at a stand alone table for 4 or more along the perimeter you'd have more room, but the bench tables are ridiculous...you might as well be dining with the people sitting next to you. 4. If a party arrives without a reservation, a calm, friendly ""we don't have any tables available, but you may dine outside if you'd like or we can put you on the list"" is an appropriate response. An eye roll and a put upon ""shoot, well I'll see if I can find something"" or a ""geez, this is a bad time"" is not, especially from the manager. Patrons are your livelihood. Be courteous and learn to deal with the stress of a rush time. 5. The tea was good (though the do-it-yourself press seemed a little odd) and the quiche was tasty, but much of the french toast was soggy, not cooked through, and inedible. 6. Tea time shouldn't be rushed Pros: Good tea, location Cons: unprofessional mgmt, crowded, ambience not charming more

A friend and I met up at Mitties new location at 25 Plum Street. At first glance I loved it. Cute little stone house with it's own parking. We ordered the High Tea and it was delightful. The young girl who served us did an awesome job getting everything we needed in a timely manor and the staff as a whole were very kind. I would definutly recomend eating at their new location. more

i worked at mittie's tea room when i was a teenager and i was delighted to find out that there is a loation opening in norcross (where i just moved to). i look forward to being reaquainted with the deserts, delicious scones and the best sweet tea in georgia. more

I have grown up in the Roswell area and have gone to Mittie?s sense I was a child. They catered my mother?s 50th birthday party, hosted many bridesmaid?s luncheons I have attended, and have been a favorite stop for me when entertaining out of town guests. Their chicken salad is legendary and the pin-wheels are one of my favorites. A good friend of mine is pregnant and a few of us got together to give her a shower. Mittie?s immediately came to mind. I called to reserve a spot for a small group and trustingly made a deposit. I was told this deposit would go toward reserving a place and would go towards the final bill. At no point was I informed that this deposit was non-refundable. Because of some unforeseen events, I had to cancel my reservation at Mittie?s. I called two weeks before the reserved date and was informed that my deposit would not be returned, this was company policy. I informed the owner that I was not told this at the time of the deposit and she told me that she could not verify that my statement was true. Clearly, after being accused of lying, I was not pleased. I continued to try to explain the situation and come to an agreement, but was only given a quick, unkind, and unprofessional response. I am very sad that the tearoomI have enjoyed all my life has turned into an unfriendly place that does not appreciate or respect their faithful customers. Needless to say, I will not be returning. more

Mittie's in Roswell has moved again to a new location. Had lunch there a few weeks ago. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had; extremely slow service, bad food. If you must eat at Millie's go to the Alpharetta location. The service and food is much better in Alpharetta. Pros: Nothing Cons: Terrible Service, Bad Food more
