English Rose Tea Room

The English Rose Tea Room is a charming, independently owned British-style tea room in Carefree, covered in Phoenix Magazine's Cave Creek and Carefree dining guide. It is known for afternoon tea served in an elegant, floral setting.

Beyond tea service, the menu runs to quiches, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Reservations are recommended for tea. Hours and menu change, so confirm before you visit.

English Rose draws repeat visitors for a full afternoon tea, crystal, bone china, and all, that more than one reviewer has called the best in the state. The scones with Devon cream and strawberry jam are the item people mention first, and with more than fifty loose-leaf teas on the list, it is worth asking your server for a recommendation instead of defaulting to the same pot every time.
