Miss Minerva's

Miss Minerva’s is a delightful tea room. The atmosphere embraces you with the warmth of hospitality. The selection of teas is first rate - the offerings include woman owned small business, Serendipity and many others. The tea service is exceptional. For the holiday yea we had chicken salad, traditional cucumber sandwich, fabulous mouth watering scones with clotted cream (truly yummy). With many other scrumptious foods. There were 3 of us this time (3rd visit). Highly recommended
Also the owner pays a living wage with shared tips. Very progressive!

We’ve been a patron of Miss Minerva’s under 3 different owners over the last 13 years. This is one of our favorite tea rooms across the United States. We were so happy the new owner ensured the business would stay open, especially with COVID when so many businesses are closing. The food continues to be wonderful. The new owner is bringing new tea choices to the menu. The tea room is also getting a refreshed look. This is a wonderful tea room with fantastic food! We appreciate the afternoon tea has more savories than sweets.

Got the best tea here - they have such a great selection. Need to book a tea gathering here next time as the group that was in was having such a great time. Helpful and friendly staff.

Lovely tearoom with hats you can wear at your table. Nice array of savory and sweet foods, and the teas were most enjoyable. Very attentive hostesses. I hope to return some day.

We had so much fun here for Harry Potter's birthday. Super adorable space and everything was so good. Everyone working was SO kind and helpful. Can't wait to come back again!

This has to be my favorite shop in Culpeper! Owner has to be one of the nicest most sincere people i have ever met. Please stop by and have some tea, you will be back.

Absolutely wonderful shop. The teas are delicious. The food is very tasty. Ashleigh is a wonderful hostess. I highly recommend Miss Minerva's Tea Room❤I enjoyed the Tween Tea with a chicken salad croissant, cucumber sandwich, and spinach spanakopita triangle, coconut fat bomb, orange cooler cookie and cinnamon and date scone with jam and homemade clotted cream. Absolutely delish with Kashmiri vanilla chai tea.

We came here for a farewell tea for a dear friend and her daughter who where moving out of town. Our waitress was very patient with us and explained the menu. The Afternoon Tea of five sandwiches, two savories and four desserts was delicious and filling. She also answered all our questions about the tea choices. We all agreed that the Dowager and Irish Cream were our favorites. Would definitely come here again! Thank you to Miss Minerva’s staff for making our gathering a memorable one!

Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was wonderful. The tea was amazing. Highly recommend this place. Please call before hand for reservations because this place is constantly booked.

Went here for a bridal shower and it was so perfect. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the teas and food. They were pleasantly attentive throughout the event offering more tea or asking questions. Both the tea and the food were delicious. The wedding tea, the smoked salmon on a baguette chip, and the apple tart were my three favorites. The whole place was rented out for the event which accommodated our group of ~20 people with ease. They had a gift table set up, a space for the bride-to-be to sit and open presents that was separate from the tables which for really well. I would love to go back for another event or check out their gift shop which was closed during the event. There's a 3hr parking lot around the corner and across Main Street from Miss Minerva's. Street parking in front of the shop wasn't readily available on a Sunday afternoon.

This is a most delightful tea rom with possibly the sweetest person (and owner) you'll ever come across! From the numerous of teas Ashleigh curates to the delectable sandwiches, savories and desserts she prepares, you are sure to not be disappointed! There are a variety of hats that you can choose to wear during your tea. The décor is peaceful and I smile every time I walk in. I have also used this tea room to cater my business' ribbon cutting event. That service, as well as inside the tea room is impeccable. I live in Town and bring friends and family members and sometimes even dressed in costume. I can't speak highly enough or recommend strongly enough to come here. You won't be disappointed!

We had a wonderful tea at Miss Minerva’s. There were many tea choices and the teas we tried were excellent. The food was perfect for an afternoon tea and very tasty alternatives were offered for the vegetarians in our group.
It’s in a great location with lots of small shops nearby. If you can’t find parking on the street there’s a 3-hr parking area a couple of blocks down.
We will definitely be back!

Today we had an appointment for 2pm and 5 of us, including my 7yr old Niece. Everything was perfect. The food was good and all the tea's where really good. We had 5 different teas and everyone tired every tea.
They all where excellent and Ashleigh recommendations where just right.
There was more than one comment about how nice it was to sit, relax and enjoy a cup of tea.

Ashleigh the new owner was awesome and took care of us. She made it special for my niece, greeting her by name and letting her try on just about ever hat, circlet and scarf she had.

Was a nice end to the day.

My mom and I had a wonderful time here! The hostess is very friendly and attentive. The tea sandwiches and desserts are delicious and the atmosphere is peaceful. I will definitely be coming back!

Perfect way to spend an afternoon. Super fun and very yummy food. Massive tea selection and the owner made our experience perfect! She is super accommodating to any and all dietary restrictions. We thoroughly enjoyed our tea time

I have arranged to meet friends there several times. Everyone who came took the menus to tell their friends. The food was varied each time and absolutely delicious. The service was the best. Can't say enough good things about Miss Minerva's.

We used to travel 40 min for this tiny place that we discovered accidentally. The food here is very delicious. They make it fresh all the time.
I was very fond of their samosas.

There were many great memories at this place!

It's a cafe cum grocery store!

Make reservations since they get busy! A little different variations on traditional afternoon tea offerings, but all delicious. The loose leaf tea selection is marvelous. Grandma's attic has dress up hats and scarves to make it a fancy occasion. The downtown are nearby has delightful shops.

Very friendly, excellent tea and food. Got the full English tea with my daughters (9 & 14). They loved everything, and playing dress up with the hats and necklaces! Make reservations ahead of time.

I love this place. Ashley is a perfect hostess, she is so accommodating and makes your visit a special treat! The food is delicious and she has an amazing selection of teas.
