Menu & Services
Troll House Cottage serves food and drinks for dine-in guests, with walk-in dining handled on a first-come, first-served basis. The signature offering is Cottage Tea, a high tea service priced at $50 per person, which the site describes as featuring fine High Garden teas served in china and a three-tier platter of the chef’s curated selection of freshly baked and handmade savory and sweet items. The venue offers a specialty tea and coffee selection, a gift shop stocked with local goods, and catering services for events. It also accommodates private parties and group reservations. The site notes live music, including jazz and crooner selections, as part of the atmosphere. Online ordering is available for food, and a reservation system handles Cottage Tea bookings.
About
The cottage was built in 1927 by Mr. Baker and is described as a place where memories have been etched into every plank and brick, with a past spanning generations. In 2022, interior designer Damon Johnston acquired the property and undertook renovations, transforming the historic structure through restoration work. A log cabin on the property, which the site notes once served as a neighborhood schoolhouse, was converted into what is described as a woodland escape. The venue today combines historic preservation with a cafe and event operation serving homemade sweets and gourmet delights.
