Rookwood Tea Room

It's nice but do not expect "unexpected" . Itself is quite mediocre, bit the place still worth to visit it if you're in the museum

I remember eating ice cream here when I was young and it was always a big deal/fun experience. I've wanted to take my 3 sons to enjoy ice cream in the Rookwood tile environment since we became members back in December, but we would always forget to go early and it would close before we could make it in. We were finally able to order ice cream and eat inside the Rookwood Tea Room yesterday, but I was so disappointed. We spent well over $30 with my museum membership discount and got very, very little ice cream. I believe the lady behind the counter was possibly training the gentleman who ended up scooping and serving us our ice cream. All 3 cups I purchased were barely filled with 2 small scoops of sorbet/ice cream. My middle son wanted a waffle cone, that I had forgotten about until after we sat down, so I went back up and ordered him a double scoop waffle cone, the woman scooped it, and it was an appropriate amount. The 2 employees behind the ice cream shop counter were extremely nice and helpful, I just felt awkward being like "are these 2 tiny scoops all we get for $6.99." We did enjoy the environment and nostalgia of the Rookwood Tea Room. We just wish there was more ice cream served with a double scoop serving.

Cool little throw-back ice cream parlor with good options. Fun place.
