The Whistle Stop Tea Room

It's a staple in Tomball and we love to continue to support a business that has consistently yummy food. My family's favorites are the tortilla soup & the chicken salad. Let's be real....I come for the pie ! My favorite is the chocolate pie, my boys love the pina colada cake.

Great quick lunch spot! I've mostly gotten the sandwiches as my main and they've never disappointed. Light and delicious. The fruit cup is a hit or miss for me. It's a good fruit cup but sometimes it is too watery so the fruits are quite soggy. I loved all of the teas. Staff is very friendly. The shining star here is that yum yum pie. I could go here all the time just for that pie! If you like chocolate and whipped cream then you'll love it.

What a gem! Staff make you feel like old friends and provide great recommendations. Website pictures are an accurate reflection of the food served. Best chicken tortilla soup ever. Usually don't go for desert but tried the Yum yum pie and it did not disappoint. Thank you Cindy for great food and kind hospitality.

What a local gem! I had NO idea The Whistle Stop Tea Room was so incredible and so close to my home. TWSTR is conveniently located in the center of Old Tomball, with plenty of parking even on a super busy Friday lunch hour. Seating Hack: you can call ahead and put your name on the list. DO IT!!We arrived Friday right around noon, big mistake! Well, kinda! We put our name down on the list. There are no beepers or tech to let you don't know when you're table is ready, so we had to keep checking back. But...in the meantime we had an excuse to check out the local boutiques! (Oh yeah! I forgot I needed a Baby shower gift! ) By the time our table was ready, we had checked out two of many of the adjacent shops! The place was packed with "ladies who lunch". The newer decor is Gorgeous! The chandeliers and soft color palette are so beautiful and inviting. TWSTR is one of the more elegant tea rooms I've been to locally. No shabby chic, grandmother's designed decor here! The menu is very flexible. Any combo goes here! Soup, sandwich, salad?! Your pick 1, 2 or 3. We all opted for the chicken salad on croissant. I mean it is a tea room. The soup and salads my friends had were all great! Each combo came with an ANOTHER side. We tried the pasta salad and the broccoli Salad. Wow! These "sides" were not only filling, but amazingly tasty! The pasta salad was unusual, not something I've had before. I loved it. Unfortunately, we ate everything and had no room for their amazingly scrumptious looking pies! (Excuse for second visit? YES)We were so lucky to visit with the friendly owner, who was very gracious and kind. I will definitely be back to TWSTR. The food was great, the service was outstanding and I love supporting local businesses! Take away; Call ahead to put your name on list at least 15 minutes before you arrive! Leave room for dessert!!

A very busy place! We went on a Friday for lunch after shopping in the antique stores in the area. We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. I had half of chicken salad on a croissant with a side of fresh fruit and a slice of dill pickle. For dessert we both had Yum Yum pie, which was very very good! It was a chocolate pie with a cool Whip type tippy and big chocolate pieces in it. It was delicious. They have a large selection of desserts and that is a big draw to this restaurant. They had a good menu to choose from. It was a bit loud because it was so busy. We had a good time and would go back.

OMG. Never disappoints. Lovely lunch place for soup , salad, and sandwiches. Fresh homemade food and superb desserts. Really nice staff. Very attentive. Love this place.

I hosted a baby shower here last weekend and just wanted to shout out to Cindy and her wonderful staff how amazing it was! I have received non stop compliments for the food, cake location etc. Thank you again.

We came here for a late lunch on Saturday around 1pm and our table for 2 was immediately seated. Service here is top notch - our waitress was so friendly and attentive. The menu is fairly basic in that it is a tea house - think salads, sandwiches, soups, and quiche. They have nice options and what makes it stand out is the freshness. All dishes we had were light and tasty. Big recommendation for their pasta salad side, it was delicious! Make sure you save room for dessert; their dessert case is central to the restaurant and it's impossible for it to not catch your eye. We tried the chocolate peanut butter pie and peach cobbler - both were so good we took some to go!

Great place to meet with the girls for tea and food!Service was average. The atmosphere is delightful!

Great service, quaint tea room. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup which was very good. The broccoli slaw was delicious and the chicken salad was delicious as well. Next time I go back I'll definitely try one of the desserts.
