The Pink Chandelier - Puyallup, Washington

The place and atmosphere was spectacular for christmas tea. The food was so so giving the amount of money we paid. I was expecting more sophisticated sandwiches and desserts. The afternoon tea was composed of a 6 course (tea, soup, scoop with jam and cream, 2 tiny sandwiches and some tiny desserts). Everything was tiny including the soup plate and ice cream scoop. The food taste good except the sour sandwiches. I didn’t like them. I personally think there are other high tea with nicer sandwiches and cheaper prices. So i am a bit disappointed.
In addition, they added 20% tips with no option for me to change that. I didn’t like it. I think customers should pick how much gratitude to pay. And inwas not informed of that in advance.

I had wanted to try afternoon tea for awhile and so for my birthday we went 😀
So many good things. We made a reservation and did the duchess tea service.

The tea selection was huge and I had a hard time deciding because there were so many good choices. I got the English pudding one I think it was called, a black tea with fruity chocolatey notes.

The food was so good. They start you with a cup of soup, today was potato chowder YUM.
Then we got fresh baked scones with options to put a raspberry jam, an apple butter and their version of Devonshire cream. The scones were hot and fresh and perfect. I have never had the cream before but now I cant wait to try other types.

After the scones we had 3 savory mini sandwiches. My 1st cucumber one ever, a ham fig and goat cheese, and then orchard chicken salad. All of them were delicious
There was fresh fruit and the last piece the sweet treats, there was a cookie and a pumpkin cream cake. I wasn't a fan of the cookie but thats my personal preference. The cake though was very good, soft with the right amount of flavor.

The server was so sweet and attentive and explained all the dishes and the process.

The only thing that I wished was different was a slightly bigger table.

I will for sure be doing this again soon as the whole experience was delightful.

I came here for the first time today with my 6 year old and her bestie, a Saturday around noon, with no reservation. Jill greeted us at the door and was able to procure us a table during their peak time- which as a lifelong restaurant industry worker, I fully understand that’s not always easy or doable. The service was excellent, the shop is absolutely adorable and my tiny ladies had an absolute blast feeling very fancy with their cupcakes and crustless sandwiches. My curried chicken salad croissant was yum and the tea (Versailles lavender earl grey) was so good I can still taste it 9 hours later. I can’t wait to go back, and particularly look forward to planning ahead so I can get real fancy with the royal tea.

Positives: Good food, nice baked goods. Gracious staff.
Negatives: Water was too tepid and didn't brew our tea correctly - no cozies on the tea pots. Our table wobbled a LOT... Like we were on a boat and with our tea on the table it was quite awkward. Their air conditioning was broken... And they can't help that... But they didn't have any fans to move the air and the staff was dying. They weren't complaining but they were hot, sweating! We were hot just sitting. I felt badly for them.
This one is a nitpick... But they served an incorrect spoon for sorbet... It wouldn't fit all the way down the glass.
For the largest tea service, I paid $50 per person for a party of 5. They didn't automatically add gratuity but our server deserved a very good tip in the heat.
Overall, if you are a tea aficionado - I would recommend Queen Mary, George Washington Inn, Bainbridge Apothecary or perhaps Steeped in Comfort in Washington State.
For regular lunch... This is solid.

Enjoyed tea with family. We had traditional tea serving, and it was lovely.

The only recommendation I would make is changing the pink table covers. Our hot beverages kept sticking to it, which can be hazardous.

Overall, it was a lovely place for lunch and tea.

I love this little place. Their special holiday teas are excellent. I have enjoyed afternoon teas in nice hotels, that are not as memorable as I have had here. The scones, sandwiches and the amazing little pastries are above excellent. Thank you for a lovely experience.

I stopped in at the Pink Chandelier this morning while out and about at the Puyallup farmer’s market. This is a beautiful store perfect for buying luxury gifts. The perfect balance of shiplap and farmhouse and elegance. There is a cute bistro with many food and coffee options. The iced vanilla latte I ordered was superb and they use high end syrups. I’d love to come here for high tea one day!

I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a special occasion. The people worked with me to provide a wonderful experience for my girl. They allowed us to play our own music and dance. They explained how the royal tea worked. They ladies were wonderful. They treated us like royalty. I want to do this again.
