There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as Afternoon Tea.

At Pinecone Cottage Tea House, we want you to experience the beauty of the world through our tea centric cuisine. Afternoon Tea at Pinecone Cottage is that moment in time when friends gather to enjoy special foods and share their lives. Delectable teas, delicious sweets and savories, teapots of every variety from traditional English to whimsically modern, tables dressed in linen - the quaint atmosphere of the Pinecone Cottage Tea House located in downtown Downers Grove is the perfect spot for an Afternoon Tea. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, and Vegan options are available.

Our Afternoon Tea, Loose Tea, Petite Tea Treats, Specials, and Catering Menus can be found HERE.

What People Are Saying

"Had afternoon tea with a friend today- such a charming place with delicious food and tea! I really appreciated their willingness to make a few adjustments because of my food allergies. Will definitely be returning!"

Angelique

"A wonderful cozy experience. The tea is lovely as is the place. I enjoy mother-daughter time here. But a Sunday tea with friends is good too."

Ruth

Anne

"Went there with 7 other ladies for my birthday. Service was fabulous, food was tasty, a great place for afternoon tea."

Carol

"This place is very darling and the seeing the seasonal decorations is half the fun of coming here (see these pictures from Halloween time below). Come here hungry because they serve a lot! It's a family run business that bases its menu largely on the garden. I cannot recommend it enough! It's a fantastic value and will make anyone fall in love with afternoon tea."

Mariel
