The Cosy Cupboard Tea Room

Simply put... AMAZING! I loved my experience at The Cosy Cupboard. I was not sure what to expect when I go there, but my goodness from start to finish I felt that every single penny that was spent there was made use of. The staff and owners are wonderful people and work very hard to keep a high level of customer satisfaction. Allergies are handled with ease and kindness. The Food... The FOOD... was amazing! Everything from first smell to presentation, to taste was out of this world. The tea was equal to the food! We had such a blast trying everyone tea choice! Last but not least the ambiance was perfect. I was afriad that a tea room may have horrible flowery wall paper and walls filled with chachkees but what i found was just the opposite. Beautiful, understated, elegance and class! I am having my bridal shower there in April and I just can not wait to show this place off to all of my guests! :) Please go, enjoy, you won't regret it. more

I guess we picked the wrong day to have a baby shower, 11/27/11. James the owner did not give us a formal contract for the services of the event. I had arranged a meeting to sample the food and settle on a reservation, James was two hours late for our appointment his excuse was that he forgot. I did sample the food for the event and it was fabulous as well as the service and quaint atmosphere. Expecting the food and service to be the same or better for the baby shower, I was really disappointed on how the event was organized, it did not go as planned. Perhaps it was the second party of the day and staff was exhausted. Our time for the event was changed three times (I had to change my invitation times) by owner due to his first client being being a VIP customer and he did not want to rush her from the place so he gave us a 15% discount but he made up for it in the gratuity (he did not mention in the contract). The set up of the tables was wrong for the event, it was poorly planned, the owner winged the whole event and we did not get any of the desserts that were paid, also we had paid extra for a crepe station (for the presentation and food selection) well it was not done nicely. The tea was very good and the room was beautiful. The guests had a lovely time and said it was the best shower they have ever been to!! despite the side lines. But service does matter also and it was very lacking that day. When I questioned what happened at the event, that things did not happened and go accordingly, James got defensive and nasty with me and the mother to be. I do not recommend this place, especially if it is the second venue of the day. more

I have been here now both for lunch and my baby shower was held here. Wonderful for lunch, the food is scrumptious and the scones and english trifle are to die for. The ambiance is perfect for a high tea, lovely room and the service is top notch. For my baby shower, the staff truly went all out. I knew it was going to be a lovely event but I didn't know they were going to help park guests cars, carry gifts for them, design beautiful menus, make more than enough scones (guests couldn't get enough!), and I can go on and on.... Absolutely top notch place for getting together with one friend, or having an event for over 30. I can't wait to go back. more

Has a lovely elegant Victorian feeling, inside a cosy home. The service is excellent and the table settings picturesque. All the scones and desserts are made fresh on the premises and do not disappoint. A very classy and special experience all around. Worth a visit. http://www.examiner.com/city-guide-in-newark/susan-velasquez more
