As part of our "Love Local" initiative, we're proud to spotlight the businesses that make Edmond such a special place to call home.
This month, we’re excited to share our experience at Inspirations Tea Room, one of Edmond’s most beloved local establishments that has a little bit of something for everyone!
A Charming Experience
For over 20 years, Inspirations Tea Room has been a staple of the Edmond community.
One of the most charming and whimsical places you will ever step foot into, Inspirations boasts a full-service eatery, extensive tea selection, boutique gift shop, a specialty line of balsamic vinegar, and a quaint inn all under one roof.
Surrounded by decor that looks like it’s straight out of a storybook, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, treats, and an impressive variety of teas in the restaurant, in the sunroom, or in the patio garden.
A Place Built Around Connection
Inspirations was founded on encouraging faith, family, and friends, which is instantly apparent when you step foot in the door.
From the welcoming staff and thoughtfully arranged tables to the little nooks throughout the eatery and the glass-enclosed sunroom, Inspirations somehow achieves a rare aesthetic that can only be described as “sophisticated charm.” It’s the perfect blend of comfort and elegance!
Scattered among the tables, tea sets, and ornate China cabinets is a boutique showcasing specialty teas, teapots, gourmet foods, books, home décor, baby gifts, stationary, and unique treasures that would make a perfect gift for just about anyone.
You won’t be able to pass up their Teaoli products, a line of teas, olive oils, and balsamic vinegars that are on display in beautiful tasting tanks ready for tasting or bottling!
Our Pro Tips & Recommendations
Try a Signature Favorite: If you're visiting for the first time, start with one of their quiches or trios. Trying a scone with lemon curd is an absolute must! In fact, one of our staff members has a strong dislike for lemon-flavored sweets, but THIS lemon curd changed her mind! It is that good!
Watch for Special Events: Throughout the year, Inspirations hosts events where they bring the tearoom to life by transforming it into a themed whimsical world that creates an unforgettable experience for guests. Past themes include Alice in Wonderland, Downton Abbey, The Nutcracker, Phantom of the Opera and more.
Inspirations Tea Room is thoughtfully crafted to be a gathering place, where people can connect and share life over a table, a treat, and a cup of tea. Whether you’re having lunch with friends, planning a Mother’s Day outing, or treating a little girl in your life to a real-life tea party, it’s the perfect place to settle in and make lasting memories.
Support a Local Treasure
Inspirations Tea Room is what we love about shopping local. It’s a true reflection of Edmond itself: a place of sophisticated charm, polished and elegant yet warm and hospitable in character. Every detail feels intentional, with a thoughtfully curated space designed for creating meaningful connections with family and friends.
Shopping local means choosing places that capture the spirit of the community. Inspirations Tea Room does just that, and that is why we’re so thrilled to highlight it in our “Love Local” series.
