Dragonfly Tea Room & Gift Shop

"Going to tea is one of my favorite things. I finally had the chance to take my mom while she was in town and she loved it. Food was delicious and just enough for portion sizes. Will come again!"

"We loved our tea experience! Our server, Taylor was simply the best, making sure our every request was answered with an easy smile! Delicious peach ginger tea and tasty tuna melt. We can't wait to go back!"

"My daughter's just love coming here even though they are teenagers now. The dishes are adorable! Out of everything that I have tried the BLT salad and strawberry pretzel salad are the best! Even though my daughter's don't drink tea they still get their lemonade in their tea pots! Reservations are recommended."

"Patience. It was full right at the beginning. I made reservations prior to going, so we luckily were seated right away. It took a bit of time for the server to arrive at the table. Quite understandable since it was packed. No bother though, I liked sitting there admiring the teapot collection. I loved the variety of teas that Dragonfly Tearoom carried. The server was very kind and helpful on going over the tea menu narrowing my choice to a couple of pots of tea. While I liked my finger sandwich platter, I think I’d prefer to try their more unique items next time. I like to experience the wild side of a menu, but the finger sandwiches held well. I’ll admit I really loved the broccoli salad the most! Their scones and tea bread was also very yummy. If I had to be “that person” and criticize anything, it’d be the boiling water poured over the black tea. I understand the idea of the afternoon tea setting, but if one were to leave the leaves in the pot, I’d offer the customer a bit of milk/cream to help cut the bitterness…sugar can only do so much. However, I liked it fine. I enjoyed the overall ambience of the tea room. The atmosphere was warming and the service was really well despite the crowd. I’m just happy to see a locally owned shop having so much support. I’ll be back to try the winery (and to take home some tea for the house) soon."

"This review specifically focuses on the winery portion of this business. Finding this place was a pleasant surprise! Dragonfly Winery has a wonderful and unique outdoor atmosphere right along the Tuscwarawas River, and a quaint tasting room. During this time of COVID and uncertainty, I would recommend visiting on great weather days or avoiding normal peak times for a winery. It can be difficult to space out if dining inside during those times, but more than enough outdoor seating! All staff went above and beyond with safety measures, masks, and outdoor seating spaced out for safety, and privacy. I appreciate not being able to hear someone else's conversation while dining out. On this visit, almost every guest followed mask wearing guidelines to do their part to allow businesses like this to remain open. I sampled all but two of their fourteen wines here. Whether your palette leans dry, somewhere in the middle or sweet, or you prefer reds, whites, or blushes, you will find something (or many options) that you will want to get a bottle, or three of! The Sunflower Sunset, their peach apricot chardonnay, is a perfect "agreement bottle" for people who have different wine tastes and want something to sip on a typical Ohio summer day. The apricot balances the peach nicely and it does not overpower with sweetness, and has a smooth finish that satisfies. The Gewurztraminer, named Stone Bridge which for some is easier to pronounce then the type of wine it is. Ha! This was a nice find if you love Chardonnays and are looking to expand horizons with other dry whites. I always try a Gewurztraminer when I see it at a winery because of it's drinkability. The last bottle we consumed was the blackberry merlot, appropriately named Encore, because we wanted more. The first sip immediately took me to a place in my mind where I wanted to have a nice beef dinner with my better half; specifically her beef ragu and noodles. It is on the sweeter side, but for someone like me who is all over the place (palette) with what they enjoy, this one surprised me. The main reason we stopped was for a wine we only sampled, and it is because we needed a specific bottle called Pink Paddler. Which is the perfect bottle of wine for a breast cancer survivor who is a member of the Dragon Dream Team, Ohio's first all breast cancer surviving dragon boat team that is based out of Portage Lakes. This pink Moscato is perfec90s for those who like a sweet wine; and since it is a Moscato, yes, it's that sweet. Regarding the food, everything was delicious and appropriately portioned. The Blueberry and Goat Cheese Dip was unique and heavenly. It spread nicely on the warm and buttery French bread. The BBQ Chicken pizza does not try hard like at other places. It's BBQ sauce, seasoned chicken, and cheese on a flat bread; nothing else needed to save it. Perfect as a meal, or a lighter meal for two if doing smaller portions or just wanting to not over indulge. Be sure to get the dessert S'mores Pizza. With chunks of Hershey Bars, and perfectly browned marshmallows, it's like the S'mores of your youth is grown-up and contributing to a 401(k). They also had live music that was not overpowering. The volume and balance was right for enjoying their talent, but also able to still have a conversation. Nick Bonner was the musician and he was pretty good with a variety of music and his own takes on some 90s hits, which were made new again with his renditions. The next time we come here we plan to go for a hike or walk utilizing one of the neighboring trails and relax here afterwards. Definitly make it a point to stop here!"
