My family of four came here to celebrate our daughter's birthday (she turned 19). We had a lovely time and she enjoyed it hugely. Three of us ordered the afternoon tea, which was generously sized, and one went for the bread pudding. The scones were particularly delicious, but everything was very tasty. Two also ordered the daily soup special, a cheddar potato soup served with a savory scone. Overall, we were delighted with the whole experience. The girls enjoyed poking through the gift shop, as well. My only suggestion would be to consider re-doing the fabric on some of the chair seats. A few were quite stained, which stood out because everything else (including the restroom) was immaculate. We look forward to returning. Thank you for making her birthday extra special!

This is a gem! I wish Florrie would open a place closer to where I live. However, the experience was well worth the trip. From the hot apple cider to the pumpkin pie it was a foodie's delight. The food was so fresh and tasty. The tea sandwiches reminded me of the times that I had High Tea at the Flagler Museum in Florida.
The service matched the food, and the price was well worth the wonderful experience. There was an annoying bee/yellow jacket that somehow avoided the attractive traps. The owner quickly came out to light a candle to keep the pest away.
My group ate outside. The seating was very comfortable and socially distance from other customers. The outside area is very attractive. Hopefully, the decorative telephone booth will be repaired because it adds nicely to the ambience.
We were able to park in front, but there is parking somewhere in the back.
They take reservations.
Can hardly wait for my next visit to Florrie Kaye's.

Our luncheon began a little rocky , a little confusion with the amount of Red Hatters that was expected. The owner had prepared for our 1st count of attendees. She wanted to make our visit a success . After that our server ugh can’t remember her name but she was the absolute best ! She really helped us move forward and have the best time . The food was so so delicious! Many of us had the “tea service” and it was everything you could want ! The variety, freshness and mini sandwiches were delicious!The fruit and chocolates were so fresh ! None of us could finish everything ! I was surprised that I was so full! The Teas are fresh not old or prepackaged. If the owner will have us again this will be our new Special outing place ! There is 1 downside .. you’ll have so much fun you’ll want to stay longer than the allotted 2 hours! Time flies when you’re having a blast ! Visit this gem .. you’ll be so happy you did !

The food here is very very good. Lovely teas. The staff is lovely. However, they seem to have fit in more tables since I have last been there. Also there used to be hats on coat racks, and some almost life size cardboard cutouts of the Royals (now sadly squished to the wall or peaking in the gift shop looking very tired). While there are lots of tea pots about, there seem to be less attention to the little details I enjoyed in the past. Things again are looking less fresh. I felt like I was almost sitting in the laps of the next table. One other small gripe is that they used whipped cream rather than clotted cream for the scones. I am glad to see the business is successful, but I probably won't go back again.

Hello Judith,
I am so disappointed to read your review, I am sorry that you feel this way.
First of all, thank you so much for coming to see us. I wish that you would have had a more positive experience. We always want everyone to leave happy.
Regarding our tables, we actually have less tables in our dining room now than we did prior to COVID. We removed tables through COVID and there are still two tables that are in the basement not put back into our original floor plan. We know we are a small space, but we can't help that or make it any bigger than it is. We are only open for lunch so we need to do what we can to keep our doors open, especially after two incredibly difficult years of COVID, I hope you can understand that. In the summer we have our wonderful patio open which doubles our space, I hope you will come give that a try.
We still have our hats upon request, they were moved out during COVID, we feel that this is not sanitary to share hats with other guests and still felt at this time that we should not bring them out. We really haven't had anyone ask for them, but if we get enough people asking for them, we will happily bring them out.
Since the day Florrie Kaye's opened almost 6 years ago, we have never served clotted cream. In order to make clotted cream you need to use unpasteurized milk which is illegal to purchase in NY state. I believe serving a freshly whipped cream with high quality vanilla is better than store bought cream from a jar. We make everything fresh in house. In the future I will purchase some clotted cream to keep in house for those who request it.
It feels terrible to hear that you don't think things are "fresh" and little details are missed. We are a small family business working incredibly hard to give our guests a wonderful experience. Florrie Kaye's is our life's passion. I wish you would have reached out privately instead of publicly to try and deter others from coming to our wonderful space. We are humans doing our best, striving to be better every day.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime, we hope you will give us another try.

Had a wonderful Bridal Shower for my daughter at Florrie Kaye's Tea Room. Everything was outstanding, from the British/Country decor to the food and drink.
We chose an Afternoon Tea which included our selection of sandwiches, scones and our preference of pastries. I wanted a mini Victoria Sponge (cake filled with lemon and raspberry) which was not on their menu, and they made it specially for us. Such deliciousness.
We had a selection of hot teas, and I also chose a purple tea for an iced tea. There was also an open bar for our guests to enjoy cocktails. Our package included lavender hot towels and a party favor- Wedding Tea and Tea Spoon.
Not only was the quality of the food and drink first rate, but the service was impeccable. Our guests felt very welcomed and Gina, the owner, was also there ensuring everything went well. And it did! It was so beautiful, our guests loved it, my daughter loved it, and I was one very happy mother!
To top things off, the food was quite plentiful and anything not eaten was boxed up for guests to take home. In addition, the chef made a special chocolate cake for my daughter to take home and enjoy with her fiancé.
Very classy! Five stars ALL the way!

If I lived closer, I'd be here every day!!! From the time you're greeted upon entering until the time you leave, you'll have a wonderful day. The tea selection alone is so extensive, you'll have quite a time choosing one. The menu is perfect for anything from a quick bite to a delicious meal. There are some seasonal items as well as specials to choose from. I could go on forever about all the items; I especially recommend the coronation chicken salad on the zucchini bread, warm sausage roll, any salad...even the side cucumber salad is tasty and I don't like cucumbers!!
Make sure you leave room for dessert. I have tried every one on the menu and can honestly say, you can't go wrong with any of them. Their scones are so good, especially the sweet scone of the day! When it's chilly outside, their soups are really satisfying and will warm you up.
The decor is quaint and homey. The staff extremely friendly; ready to answer any questions and make suggestions. They even have a selection of hats you can wear to complete your tea room experience. Don't forget to check out the gift shop before you leave. Florrie Kaye's is a must visit!

This establishment doesn’t disappoint as this is my second visit here within a year. Reservations suggested as it’s always very busy. Plan on spending a good two hours here. Wonderful selection of gf and vegan options. The teas are amazing, service is great, our server made use feel very welcomed and at home.

Florrie Kaye's is a wonderful place to have lunch/brunch. I just wish it wasn't such a distance away. The food is fabulous, and so many choices that it is hard to select. The turkey panini, soup and tea filled me up. The same for the others, so no dessert, which looked scrumptious, was ordered.
The service is friendly and efficient. And the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. The setting is like nothing I have eaten in before. It is unique but enchanting.

The food is still wonderful, as is the service (thanks Debra), but now they have a beautiful outside dining area with paving stones. The street noise can be loud at times because the patio faces the main street through town. However, the food and service are well worth it!
Don't forget to take a time to see the inside, especially the small gift shop.

When you go to Florrie`s you are treated like family. Everything is perfect From the atmosphere to the dishes and the food is so good. Many choices of teas. It takes about 2 hours for a fantastic lunch. Can't wait to go back.

Great spot for a formal tea or just lunch! Harney and Sons tea with scones and finger sandwiches makes for a great afternoon. Be sure to make a reservation!

I’m not sure if the ownership or management changed, but the service has changed. We sat outside which felt like we were at a sidewalk restaurant. The server forgot about us. We continuously asked for her or had to go inside to get her attention. The soup was cold, even after being reheated, and the food did not taste good.
I recommend they consider reconfiguring the restaurant layout to accommodate a wheelchair. It was difficult for our friend to take her mother to the restroom without asking customers to move their seat out of the way. This is not ADA accommodating.
This was not a good experience.

Hello,
I am so sorry to hear about your experience. There has been no management or ownership change in 3 years and we have not had a single complaint about our service in those years. Our food and service is so important to us. In fact if you look at our public online reputation you will see we work very hard at ensuring guests have a great experience with us.
You were not forgotten, I was made aware of the concerns you had. The soup arrived hot to your table, as the owner I was on the line that day and personally platted all the food for your table, the soup was piping hot, I believe by the time you got to it it was not to your liking so we gladly warmed it for you. It seemed like nothing we did make you happy despite myself and my staff bending over backwards to meet your expectations.
Additionally our restaurant is completely handicap accessible, yes we are busy, yes we were full, however there was a completely open path to our fully ADA compliant restroom, I was on the floor as your friends mother was being taken inside, there was no difficulty. To post otherwise on a public forum is simply not accurate.
I absolutely take responsibility when we make an error and we are humans and do make mistakes at times, however we served 90 other guests on the same day as you, 25 orders of the same soup and not one person felt it was cold, nor did anyone say our food did not taste good so its very upsetting to hear this.
Your sever was very attentive as she let me know each step of the way that you had complaints, we attended to you and tried to make it right. Sometimes you just can't make everyone happy.
In future give me a call, my name is Samantha and I am the owner, I work tirelessly 7 days a week to ensure our guests have a phenonimcal experience. I would have continued to bend over backwards to make it right. Leaving a public bad review hurts a small family business like ours. I would love to invite you back to see us, I will treat you to lunch to try and make up for the experience and show you what Florrie Kay's is truly about.
To discuss further feel free to reach out to me directly anytime, 845-225-8327

Recently had lunch at Florrie Kaye's with my wife. Parking here is not the easiest as street parking in front of the restaurant is limited to one hour. There are nearby free lots, but some are restricted and some not - be sure to park where permitted. The restaurant is small and charming. Decorated to the nines. Casual and comfortable. Nice menu. Full afternoon tea service for about $30, or plenty of individual items including finger sandwiches, salads, scones, and British specialties. All on the small side but none expensive. And, of course, a huge tea menu. We enjoyed all of the food. We saw 3 ladies running the place - they were very friendly and attentive. We will dine here again.

This is such a cute resturant. Specialty is English tea, scones and finger sandwiches. The decor is just as special with hats, flowers and tea cups. Highly recommend.
