Aylesbury Tea Room, Leesburg, VA

A recent Rosemary House traveling herb seminar transported us to Leesburg, VA for a tour of stately homes, unique gardens, and afternoon tea at the Aylesbury Tea Room on Market Street in Leesburg, VA. 


Our group of 40 plus garden and tea enthusiasts filled the many small rooms of this quaint British style tea room. And a photo with the Queen is an absolute must!


Once seated, tea orders were taken, and a variety of cozy wrapped teapots were offered at each table. These beautiful vintage matching Wedgwood Queensware tea cups graced our table. Made in the 60s/70s, the teacup features embossed blue grapes and vines encircling the cup and saucer. 

Susanna and David had a cozy table by the window. The three tiered tray featured assorted triangular cut sandwiches, scones with true devon cream and strawberry jelly, and tasty desserts including a lemon curd filled pound cake and a cream topped meringue.





Dainty English china adorned the walls.

What a nice tearoom and the food looks delicious. Whenever I see tea food I start salivating. I just love it all.

Its been years but I think that's the same town that I found The Blue Willow Tea Cottage that started my love of Blue Willow. Its a cute little place for tea.
Loved the town.
