BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio The theme was Frozen but the mood was warm as The Macaron Tea Room hosted a formal tea party Dec. 27 for Frozen 2 fanciers, at which Queen Elsa read a story, taught dances and sang songs.

Alla Yakimiv opened the tearoom in 2017. She is passionate about making customers feel like they have stepped into an elegant British tearoom. Menu items are made in-house using local ingredients, and more than 60 varieties of organic, gourmet loose-leaf teas, such as white champagne raspberry and chocolate mint, are served.

We strive for people to experience a real tea party, Yakimiv said. The Macaron Tea Room specializes in making your visit unique and unforgettable.

The tearoom hosts events throughout the year for people of all ages, including painting parties for Valentines Day, international etiquette classes for adults and etiquette classes for Girl Scouts to earn badges, she said.

Tea parties at The Macaron Tea Room create opportunities for conversation and practice with manners for mothers, daughters and grandmothers, said Rachel Alaimo, who attended the Frozen 2 tea party with her daughter Alexandria.

Its not only a special event, its a teachable moment, Alaimo said.

The one-on-one time between Elsa and Alexandria gave Alaimo a chance to see confidence and kindness in her daughter, she explained.

She believes she can do anything, even if that is, as a 4-year-old, spending time with Elsa, Alaimo said. That confidence transpires into other activities, which allows her to help others feel better about trying something new or when they are out of their comfort zone.

The childrens corner, gluten-free options and its great location make the tearoom accommodating for many people, said Morgan Van Curen of Broadview Heights, a mother of two.

(My daughter Kinsley) and a few of her friends once had a play date here. They loved being able to goof around while also enjoying feeling fancy and grown-up, Van Curen said. It was the best of both worlds for a group of 4-year-olds.

Yakimiv announced that the next royal tea party, Be Our Guest Tea Party, will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18. It will be modeled on a fancy celebration from the enchanted castle of Disneys Beauty and the Beast.

Located at 203 E. Royalton Road, Suite 114, in Broadview Heights, The Macaron Tea Room is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are strongly recommended, but not required.
