Went for high tea with my mom, grandma and daughter. We had all 3 house teas which were really good. Started with the pear walnut salad. Really tasty. The scones were orange and reminded me of a shortbread and were really delicious. Tea sandwiches were cucumber, chicken salad rolled in crushed pecan and egg salad. Also had a slice of caprese quiche which was soon good. The lemon bar and blackberry lavender cake were so good. I took my tiny carrot cake home and im looking forward to it tonight when I'm hungry again. Really cute old building done in such a cute little tea shop. I would definitely go back and highly recommend!

My first time trying at this location.I found during a google search. I noticed the price was very reasonable compared to other places I checked into. The tea I chose was very good. We had a chose of salad or soup. I chose the salad my guest had the soup. Both was very good. The sandwiches where very tasty.Sweets where beyond what we expected. We had a great time. The person who waited on us was very kind. He explained everything we ate to us. Which was really nice. I noticed he took photos for a group of women who where about to leave. I made sure to photograph him taking the photo as it was an extra gesture that he made sure they did not forget. I made sure to tell everyone I know about it and they look forward to going too. Glad I found this place in Aurora.

Fresh delicious homemade food. The stuffed pepper soup was so good. This is a slower pace place. It's a sit and sip tea place. One of my favorite hidden gems

This is a hidden gem in downtown Aurora. It was a wonderful afternoon at a tea room. It is beautifully decorated with different tea sets, cups and accessories. The food was traditional and quite enjoyable. I loved the cucumber sandwich and the scones the best. All the food was good as well as the tea. You had three different teas to choose from. I can't wait to go back and try a different tea and soup. Calla Lily is open 11am to 3pm and it is best to make a reservation. Would be a great place for a shower, womens luncheon or just for fun.

Words can’t describe how fabulous our experience was at the Calla Lily Victorian Tea Room. I hosted a tea party bridal shower last Tuesday and everything was like a dream, just perfect. Myron was above and beyond gracious and accommodating. We had gone over by an hour (he was technically closed) and he was very kind about it. The minute you walk into the tea room there’s such a sweet atmosphere, as if you’ve entered into a different time zone (Victorian time period!). I HIGHLY recommend the Calla Lily Tea Room. The food is delicious as are their teas, and Myron is wonderful to work with .

What a wonderful discovery out in Aurora. A beautiful store front and amazing blends of tea. Custom one of a kind blends prepared by a true master of his craft. Call ahead and reserve a high tea slot today.
