The Hatter Cafe

We made reservations for tea at The Hatter while on our vacation in Mentone. The cafe itself is delightful - decorated with tea cup chandeliers and details everywhere. Our tea service was good and the food was DELICIOUS. In fact, we have tea everywhere we go, but the food here is some of the best I have had. If the tea service was this delicious, I can only imagine their lunch menu is equally good.

So enjoyed all the wonderful food and the imaginative and creative ambience-such attention to detail! We were there for brunch with our pup on the inviting screen porch. A few of our fave dishes were the spicy southern hot corn, the beautiful heart shaped biscuits with blueberry compote, hash brown casserole and the meatloaf pie. Honestly, everything we had was fab and can’t wait to try other items next time too! The service was so friendly and attentive-our server was Danielle and she was great-in fact, all the staff and the kind owners, Roger and Pam were all-stars! 🌟 I even had to bring home some of the adorable treats in the gift shop to commemorate our outing! Don’t miss this lil Mentone gem-hop to it!🐇

a beautiful little place. the food was great, the tea selection was great, the tea pots are adorable, & the service was also great!!

The staff was very friendly and sweet. The scenery was beautiful!!! Me and my family loved the jane garden tea!!!! If your a tea lover, definitely a place to try.

Absolutely delicious! Excellent atmosphere, attentive hosts, wonderful food. We will be back very soon and will bring visitors whenever we have them. Definitely a new favorite spot.

The food was excellent! I had the French toast and found out that the bread is made in house. The decor and atmosphere were perfect. We had excellent service and all employees were friendly.

We were super excited to have a girls brunch to celebrate two birthdays. The food was good, but the experience was not that of the other reviews we had read prior to attending. We drove an hour to get here. The staff was pretty cut and dry. Here is your menu. Didn't ask us any questions or offer any information on the menu about the food or tea. They never ask, " Have you been here before?, Are you celebrating anything special, " etc. It was pretty obvious that we were confused especially when we didn't realize we all order tea pots of tea thinking we were getting a cup of tea. One of the ladies in our group of five didn't even get her waffles until the three others that also had the waffles had almost finished their food. We were so excited to enjoy a lovely brunch and atmosphere, but it was a very dull, unpersonable experience.

We had the best time this morning at "The Hatter Cafe"! Even the bathroom was decorated wonderfully. The decorations are homemade and so adorable. I attached several photos I took. We can't wait to go back!!!
After reading other reviews, I'm editing to add about the food... Yes, some of the portions seemed small. I got waffles (which the menu described as a "stack of waffles"... I asked how many and it was actually only one). That is misleading..if you don't ask and expect more, but the one waffle was filling and I was satisfied. We did think the fruit side was a tad underwhelming... The*two* pancakes, however, were fluffy and huge. ❤️. We didn't mind the wait for our food because it was fresh and the atmosphere was enjoyable. A country inn probably isn't the best place to go if you're in a hurry, this is the perfect place to go and forget about the outside world for a bit... and leave refreshed, if not full. 😜 In my opinion it was great and we will be back

The decorations are adorable
I got shrimp and grits
Shrimp was fresh but they were tough. The grits didn't have cheese and grits were sweet? She said it was the pepper jelly? and there was a watery sauce around the grits. I should have ordered something else. Husband order eggs Benedict and don't know what meat they used. But just ok.

I had so much fun at Gatsby night! I absolutely love the food. I will go back as often as possible. Even without Gatsby night the place is decorated so adorable with great imagination. You can tell the owner put her all into it.
