My husband surprised me with a reservation for the Queen of Hearts tea service as a late birthday present. We had the very best time. The ambiance is so great and the service was wonderful. I love that it’s in a historic home. The Halloween decor was so great. Our waitress Lauren was very attentive and helpful in selecting teas to try. Our favorite teas were the chai and the rose marzipan. Some of the best tea I have had! We bought some of the loose leaf chai to enjoy at home. The scones, savory, and dessert courses were all absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back. I’ve been wanting to go to a high tea since I was a little girl and the Mad Hatter was honestly a dream come true. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Just had my baby shower here. The place is so cute with all of their decor, and the food was DELICIOUS!! They made a personalized menu for us and made sure we were taken care of all evening! Kim and Rosie were the sweetest people to work with. Definitely coming back to try their brunch!!

Obviously a reference to Alice in Wonderland, and I didn't have a chance to order the famous Queen of Hearts tea that people were talking about, which was okay because I got some pretty good brunch. I thought my entire experience was not something I was used to and lovely. The restaurant was located inside what looked like a residential house-turned restaurant, which was quite new and interesting to me, and I was ready to embrace the change. Overall the food was pretty good in the most conventional manners. The hollandaise sauce enhanced the flavors of the crab cakes and tweedle puff, and the side potatoes and fries are pretty well-made. I got the combo skillet which contained kielbasa, ham, bacon, etc. along with eggs that I ordered as made sunny side up. Nothing exceptional to highlight, but nothing exceedingly constructive that I would offer, either! Just pretty good standard brunch food is how I would put what my friends and I ordered from the Mad Hatter. Oh, I must say the cinnamon roll looked amazing! We ordered the "crazy Alice" version if I remembered the name correctly, and the presentation was something else! It definitely allowed me to take a good photo prior to indulging in its sweetness. It was slightly hard despite the menu saying it's freshly baked, but putting some cream cheese frosting on top of a piece of cinnamon roll would make the experience more pleasant. I do not normally visit the area so I am not sure when the next time will be that I return to this establishment, but I do recommend it to those who want to experience some "old school fairy tale" vibes with themes that reflected somewhat older times! And if I do return, I would definitely love to try their tea, or even get a chance to go for the Queen of Hearts!

Came here for breakfast with my family and was pleasantly surprised by this place. The menu is pretty unique for breakfast but everything was delicious. Its also very fun to visit old mansions like this as for so long you drive by and wonder what it looks like inside. I would highly recommend a visit for breakfast or if you if you like tea as they have a lot to pick from.

Had a great time with our group. The tea service was phenomenal. The chicken salad croissant and the berries and cream cheese French toast was really good. Jessica was an attentive server. Need to make reservations far in advance but it’s worth it!

Every girl and woman need to experience this place. It's elegance is top notch, the ambiance is truly amazing and the food was delicious. The service was superb! You will probably talk about this place for days. Oh how I wish, a place like this was everywhere, so princesses and queens alike could enjoy. It's fit for king's and prince to. Make a reservations soon you will be glad!!!

Just wow. Loved every dish we ordered. The crab cakes are the best we’ve had. The location is stunning: the split of the rivers. You can walk the grounds and be wowed yourselves. Now we’re booked for the Queen’s High Tea! Super excited. Also, cannot wait to try the Green Goddess.

Imagine stepping into Wonderland's most charming tearoom, nestled within the grand walls of Anoka's second oldest house. That's the experience that awaits at the Mad Hatter Restaurant and Tea House, and their Queen of Hearts Tea service is nothing short of divine! The service was as charming as the setting, and the entire experience was an absolute delight.

I brought my mom here for her birthday and we did the queen of hearts tea service. We both loved it. The scones and finger sandwiches were really good. I've never been much of a tea drinker but this tea was so good I will probably come back just to buy some for home. Our server was lovely and so helpful, and everything was really cute. Everything exceeded my expectations.

“Mad hatter. This place was magical. Outside looks like any house on the street but when you walk inside the house, it’s so Victorian old times look theme. The employees was super nice and the set up for our table was super cute with a table cloth, waters, utensils with napkins, and the menu. It was super cool to get a window sitting. I ordered a cream brûlée black tea and it was delicious. It came with a sugar bowl with sugar cubes, milk in a milk cup, a pot of tea, and a plate and tongs to grab the tea bag when it was done. They even give you a timer and tells you which time to look at to get the perfect tea. I ordered a combo skillet which is a mixture of meat and vegetables together with goat cheese. I did not like the goat cheese simply because it was super strong flavor. If you like goat cheese you can add it. The combo skillet was delicious and well made. Their ketchup was homemade and it was delicious 😩😩. The dessert was a cream puff and man, that cream was 😩 it was not overly sweet but a perfect sweet. The puff was puffy for sure. The decorations around the cream puff were edible and delicious. The price was literally affordable. This was the brunch brunch and not the queen of hearts option. You can reserve a ahead of time to get a secure sitting. This place gets super full in the morning. Overall I would definitely come back here again. 10/10.” P.S love Sarah the server she’s cool.

A wonderfully quaint place for tea or brunch!!! Food was sooo good and service was outstanding!!! Can't wait to come back and try other things! We sat on their porch and loved it; would request the porch again! Plus there is a cute boutique upstairs to buy their tea and other tea or gifty things!

The decor/atmosphere was adorable and whimsical, and the food was delicious. We ordered more food than we could ever eat, but the real star of the show was the kielbasa and pierogies. So juicy and flavorful, absolutely perfect. The service was impeccable and I will definitely be coming back! Such a fun place to have brunch!

We held my daughter’s bridal shower at The Mad Hatter. Everything was so amazing! The food was scrumptious and the teas were exquisite. We all loved being able to try such a variety of teas. And the Celebration Cake was divine! The atmosphere is so unique and cozy. Every detail was thought of by Kim and the staff - even the linens and tea cups were matched to my daughters wedding colors. We were so well taken care of and we all left talking about when we would be going back! We had a vegetarian and gluten-free diets and both were given their own tiers of food to accommodate. Top-notch service every step of the way!

We have enjoyed all of our visits to Mad Hatter, but our most recent visit stands out. My mother in law was visiting from Texas and we knew we had to take her here. Every minute of our visit was absolutely wonderful! She so enjoyed the boutique and our seating for on the screened in porch. Each plate was delightful, and the incredible service sweetened the experience even more! Our server, Megan, was so personable and kind, and left us wanting for nothing. We so appreciated her attentiveness and recommendations, and she felt like a friend before the end of it. Thank you for creating a wonderful experience from start to finish, Mad Hatter! We can't wait to come back!

Lovely place. Parking was tough because one of us was on crutches. It was a long walk up the stairs. Handicap is at the top of the side driveway and poorly indicated. The food was fresh and tasted amazing. It was a pleasant place and the staff is friendly. The cake is a must try when there. The tea was delicious. Lunch was fresh and delicious. The only down point was we did not get to visit the store as we had an afternoon lunch slot and were slightly rushed to order dessert as kitchen was closing and the shop closed before we finished. We will go back and try to get an earlier reservation so we can visit longer.

I brought my two nanny girls here today for a tea party! It was incredible!!! We had the best time dressing up, eating delicious snacks and sipping on our teas. The atmosphere makes you feel like you went back in time to England in the 1850s. A true dream and the staff are so kind! April was so sweet to my girls and took care of us well! Thank you!!

I had such a lovely time here. I grabbed brunch with my sister and we enjoyed every minute of it. The staff were all amazing and our waitress, Sydney was even better! The food and drinks (mimosa and tea) were great as well. Can’t wait to return here for Christmas!

I had a lovely time at high tea service! I love the full sets of china: cups and saucers, sugar bowls, plates, teapot. The starter carrot ginger soup was delightful and perfect for a rainy day! Scones were similarly fantastic, and I loved the savory course (egg salad didn't taste much like lemon or caper) especially the cucumber sandwich. I didn't care much for the dessert course. Service was good, though our assigned waiter went MIA for a bit and the amazing Jenna stepped up to fill our teapot (it had been empty 15 min). Decor for the most part is lovely with the occasional kinda out of place or tacky item, and one of the rooms has fairly harsh lighting. I will have to come back for brunch!

This was an absolutely beautiful place for a bridal shower. Kim took excellent care of us and the entire event was completely stress-free. From the minute we arrived, each delicate bite and sip of tea was perfect. I thought we might leave hungry, but we were completely full after the tea service. We will come back for tea!

We visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago with daughter and son-in-law. We all enjoyed it. The food was very good and service to match. Thank you Kim for being so attentive.

I ordered food off the menu and joined my group for tea as well. I ordered a vegan version of the veggie skillet, and it was delightful. Very well seasoned and a healthy portion. I asked for avocado as well; that was a tasty addition. The tea was fabulous and the server was so friendly and funny. I was happy that they were so accommodating to make their menu items vegan for my dietary needs. I would return.

Incredible place for the family and was a wonderful on a beautiful sunny day! Great staff and very cool decorations to really pop your imagination!! :)

What fun! Neat treats and a wonderful yard and view of the Rum River. There is a very nice gift shop and some great proprietary tea mixtures for sale. The chocolate one is delightful. Yes, the owner reminded me of their house blend which has chocolate in it!!! You cannot go wrong with it. I bought some to take home and for gifts. Oh, and the tea sets are delightful!

I wanted to add an update as we just visted again for the Christmas Tea. I was pretty disappointed with this visit. First, the holiday tea menu was unable to be viewed on the website. So there were items we just couldn't have due to dietary restrictions. Also a good number of the items on our tea tray were dry as if they'd prepped all our food for our late afternoon sitting, far in advance for them to dry out. For the cost of this event, one would expect all fresh items for each tea attendee.

The place is adorable. We had the Queen of Hearts High Tea Service. It was presented lovely. When I made our reservations, it seemed clear we could also order from the brunch menu. We got the impression there that wasn’t the case. My reason for the 3 star review is simply the service we received. Our server was slow in getting to us and checking in with us. She said we could trade our tea out as often as we pleased, but really it was really about as often as we could get her attention. She looked like she would rather be anywhere else than our table. She hustled and bustled everywhere but within our eye or ear shot. For the price of what we got for food, tea and service, 3 stars is extremely generous. I left a 20% tip begrudgingly. She deserved 5% for her cute lavender hair and for addressing us at all. Other servers seemed to be much more attentive and personable. We will go back at some point, and I’ll update this review afterward.

This was our first experience at the Mad Hatter; and we loved it! My husband and I attended the Christmas tea. It was decorated beautifully. The food was superb, tea selections were delicious. We have been to tea events in British Columbia (they are very seriousabouttheir tea there), and the Mad Hatter is comparable - top notch. Our server was Megan; she was wonderful. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner and learning more about the history of the Mad Hatter. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Fun and gorgeous l

Outstanding experience! The food was wonderful but the tea is even better. I order their tea online and have never been disappointed. I can't wait for the pandemic to be over so we can go back!

Always a fun atmosphere, even in these challenging times of covid. Great, attentive servers. Delicious nibbles!

Mind-boggling experience! The food was wonderful but the tea is even better. I order their tea online and have never been disappointed. I can't wait for the pandemic to be over so we can go back!

The hubs and I went the Mad Hatter's for the first time yesterday and we cannot wait to return. The house and grounds are gorgeous. The view of the Rum River is lovely. The hubs had chicken & waffles - he felt the tenders were a lil dry but the waffle was very good. I had eggs benny w avocado and fried green tomatoes w loaded grits - I loved every bit of it. I also had a 12 oz mimosa w lavender syrup and it was delicious. Last but not least, our server Kim was a shiny, funky and warm ray of light: she was so friendly and attentive. I felt like she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and that she cared about every bit of our experience. I can't wait to go back and ask to be seated at one of Kim's tables for high tea.

Beautiful place. Very special.

This is easily one of my most favorite restaurant destinations in Twin Cities. The quaint atmosphere, impeccable menu, and knack for creating and executing exquisite events is unmatched. This small business that is locally owned is one of a kind.

Hospitality, food, tea and concern of staff for guest health and safety is ALWAYS outstanding.

Staff were fantastic. Food and service were exceptional. Love the atmosphere and can't wait to go again. I had the Pierogies & Kielbasa.

They didn't bother to update their hours, were closing when we got there, also the restaurant isn't even open for dine in anymore, which would have been fine if they had updated their services to take out only, and their hours for take out since online it said closes at 2pm and when we got there for lunch at 1 "takeout orders are closed for the day" is what we were told. Won't be bothering to try and go back.

It is on Way too busy of road, horrible spot for a resturaunt

Awesome tea!

My family went for a Princess Day for my young nieces. We had the most amazing server Kim. From the time we sat down to the moment we walked out the door she was amazing. She was super sweet and patient with our youngest princess (5 y/o) who insisted on saying her own order. Kim went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you Kim!! Kim recommended amazing teas and desserts. The food was great, just as she suggested. We will definitely be coming back again!

Great service and food! Their tea service looks fantastic!

Truly deserving of the brunch title! Everything was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom tweedle puff, which was divine. The pierogis and kielbasa was also incredible. I loved the pierogies and the Dijon mustard was incredible. They have a large selection of teas. I had a whole pot of the Bourbon chocolate! They cups and teapots are all fun and different. Nice a quiet with a great atmosphere. Stop by with either a couple people or a whole group! Reservations are required!

Went twice and loved both times!! I love both the inside and outside seating. The staff are so kind and lovely and I highly recommend the goddess grilled cheese with turkey and the wild rice soup, its very delicious

My first time at the Mad Hatter was very pleasant! We ordered off the brunch menu and the food was excellent. All 8 of us ladies were very pleased. The atmosphere was fun and light, there was 4 other parties in our room, and it didn't feel crowded or too loud. We all had great conversations and the server was great! The house has been restored beautifully and it was fun to go upstairs to the giftshop and tour more of the house. Parking lot is a little small. The main entrance was a little hard to find at first but they have lots of signs to guide you in the right direction. I think because the entrance is at the back of the house, not the traditional front. I bet this is a great place in the summer for outside brunch. I'd recommend to anyone.

Mouth-watering food, an amazing assortment of teas, and a delightful gift shop that not only sells their tea, but also offers beautiful hats.

A very cute and fun environment. The food was excellent and the atmosphere felt very intimate and comfortable which my family very much enjoyed. Our server Gabby was such a sweetheart and talked us through how everything worked and gave us some recommendations, she made the experience that much more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

Amazing little spot. Beautifully maintained, wonderful selection and experience. So many choices for how you wish to dine; regular and brunch menus, tea service, and even private tea parties. Staff worked with allergies to help make sure that we found a dish that worked for all people in our party to enjoy something delicious and delightful. The tea sets were incredibly cute, and the French creme brulee tea that we had was a fantastic treat. It tasted as though I were drinking a liquid version of the dessert. Prices are a bit high, because you are paying for the experience and service, so be ready for that. Also the serving sizes are just a touch small. So if you value food that is of impeccable quality, and excellent flavor, but have a slightly smaller stomach, this place would be absolutely perfect for you. Otherwise plan to spend about $15-25 per adult for a satisfying meal! Very much intend to come here again.

I can't say enough good about this place. The service is prompt professional and friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. The menu is unique but not intimidating. The place itself is clean and welcoming. A great place to meet with your friends and family to dine and visit.

Service from Megan was fabulous. She was also training in a new employee named Megan. Wonderful food and incomparable atmosphere! I cannot wait to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The owners both stopped to check on us and were incredible hosts with passion and a beautiful history.

A group of five of us went for high tea and brunch yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. Megan was our server, and she was friendly and very helpful explaining the menu to us. Also the owners walked around and thanked folks for coming, which was very meaningful. It was a joy to support a local business. I have a food allergy, and they easily accommodated it. Thank you so much for a good experience! I’d love to come back.

Delicious Valentine's dinner and great service!! Was a little spendy but worth it!!

I had an extraordinary at this place. We loved the excellent atmosphere and the meals. The waiters are super personal. I’m content we ultimately decided to try this place.

We were a party of 7 for the Queen's Tea late afternoon on a Saturday. Their website recommends making a reservation ahead of time especially for a weekend. I really appreciated the confirmation call 2 days before our reservation. Loved how pretty the preset table looked - real china tea cups & saucers, cloth napkins. Very nice. Our tea experience hostess was awesome! We tried so many teas. Our favorites were royal wedding & temple something. The multi tiered tea service tray was arranged so attractively. Some items sounded strange by name but tasted great! We thoroughly enjoyed our time visiting with each other & noshing on such tasty treats as we sipped tea. I will definitely be back again. Thank you so much Mad Hatter for such a lovely setting, pleasant & attentive staff and scrumptious food & drink!

Had a reservation with friends for brunch. I was not expecting the establishment to have so much history and charm. I loved reading about it while enjoying their popular cinnamon roll. The medley hash was a solid choice and would definitely order again. A fun, unique experience that I'll be recommending to friends and family.

This is a fun place to go for birthdays or holiday celebrations. It's a bit spendy but it's worth the relaxing afternoon and calm conversation. We enjoy looking at each room and how they're decorated for each season.

This place really is something special. I go here every year around christmastime with my grandma and my aunts and mom. My grandma is on a fixed income so she’s always weary of doing the Christmas tea, however, we’ve never felt pressured to get it. The service is excellent and the food is rich and yummy.

; My first experience has been everything beyond what I expected! Setting reservations over the phone was explained thoroughly. Notices for confirmations were sent a few days before as a friendly reminder. Arriving for our reservation was quick, we didn't have to wait for the staff to put a table together. The restaurant is elegant and cozy! Plenty of natural lighting for that perfect picture tone. They also have porch seating, which was closed during this time of the year. This is a perfect place for a bridal party or special occasions with a group of girls. Our waitress, Janelle, was super friendly and very thorough on explaining the menu and how things worked. Checked-in the tea services availability, incase we were interested. She checked in on us frequently to make sure we were happy with our food. Janelle provides us exceptional service! The food was delicious! The portions are great; not overkill or leaving you hungry. We each had our own large mimosa with an additional $.50 we added our own scent to our brunch beverage. I had Lavender added, and couldn't taste it, but the mimosa was decent. I definitely want to return to try everything else. Plenty of parking available on a Sunday early afternoon plus overflow parking nearby. You can't miss the restaurant on a busy main road.

Beautiful historical building. Food is amazing, though on the expensive side. Speak about the tea as I didn't have any.

Oh my the Strata was delicious and some of you are wondering what is that.... go check it out.....it was a special and scrumptious! Service was exceptional and this is twice now that I have been wowed!

Super fun place to spend a Sunday!

Great food & great service!

Wonderful place for a birthday. Really good food and service!

Amazing gluten free tea!

Have never tried their tea service, but it's such a nice place for brunch. It can get pretty busy most times, but they always do their best to fit you in. I got the club sandwich and it was so delicious! Loved the sweetness from the toast!

Located in a very quaint historic home on the river.. Really good food and if your tea lover you will love it! Very quaint Decor inside and excellent food. They host many special events all year long, many of which sell out right away. They also do high teas.

This is my absolute favorite place ever. I love the food and the atmosphere

Friendly and welcoming staff, not at all overbearing in customer service, great food, and a broader selection of drinks than most. All in all an amazing brunch.

I went with two friends for High Tea. It's a bit expensive but so worth it once and a while. They have a great tea menu, a great selection of things to eat, and if you like the teas you can buy some to take home. The atmosphere is classy but you don't have to dress up. I will definitely be going again.

What A fun experience! Beautiful atmospere, excellent rood and our server, Janelle, made the whole time there wonderful! I will definitely be returning.

Beautiful, great service, amazing menu, very affordable

Great experience surprising a friend for her birthday. Dylan was a fantastic server and went out of his way to make our little surprise even more fun by bringing hats for the birthday girl!

Mad Hatter is an absolutely beautiful place! The food and atmosphere are awesome! But, I want to talk about the amazing husband/wife duo that own and operate this place. I spoke to Liz this morning, in the wake of the governor's mandate to close all restaurants. There is much to be concerned about, but Liz has lost sleep over her employees. This couple is constantly working to build a great place to work for their family of cooks, servers, hosts, etc. This business puts out a wonderful product and experience for anyone who walks through it's doors! Even better than that is the heart behind it all and the leadership of the owners.

Visiting a yes house post-covid is an interesting experience. They did a great job! Delicious tea and food! Can't wait to go back.
