Casting Whimsy Tea - Woodstock, Illinois

Enjoyable location just a short walk from the Square. HUGE selection of teas available to take home or have there. Didn't try any of their cookies or treats, but they all looked very appealing. LOVE the Doctor Who chair (been a fan for almost 40 years)!

Had the most wonderful afternoon tea here with a chef friend who was visiting from out of town. She has discerning tastes, and could not say enough good things about the quality of the food, and the presentation and service. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious, and the owner came to our table to see if everything was to our liking (big YES!). We learned that this passion business of his has been his side hustle while he works a full-time day job in the tech industry. But this year, he plans to go all-in and switch careers to pursue his passion full-time. I cannot recommend this place highly enough if you enjoy tea, great food, and the luxurious feel of an afternoon tea. The wide variety of exceptional quality teas are sure to appeal to even the pickiest non-tea drinkers. Two big thumbs up for the quality of this business, and for the owner having the courage to follow his heart. The world needs more of this, and we can support that.

Super fun tea shop! Stopped in for afternoon tea. The selection of teas was great, truly a type for any taste available. We each received a pot with the option to receive more hot water later to keep the tea flowing. The food was exceptionally good! Often I find that tea or coffee shops seem to only have mass-produced pastries and snacks. All the items we received felt like they were baked on-site, seasoned wonderfully and fresh. The lemon quiche and goat cheese scone were highlights. I also very much enjoyed the earl grey cinnamon roll - it really tasted of earl grey!

I will definitely be back as their tea menu appears to rotate seasonally. They also offer a tea and games night which I'd love to drop in to, if I ever get the chance!

So cute! We went for my grandmas 91st bday and it was perfect! Everyone was super nice, Fox was great, and it’s handicap accessible.

This place is such a hidden gem. In todays world its hard to find things that feel fairly priced and like a good value, Casting Whimsy did not disappoint for afternoon tea. The few people we chatted with had all been there before and were seasoned pros, always a great sign. Everything is made on site and was the perfect amount of food for an afternoon bite at a reasonable price! We will definitely be coming back regularly to try the monthly rotating menu.

I had an AMAZING time here! My friend and I have come before and bought some tea, and planned for many months for a time where we would indulge in their afternoon tea and we were so surprised at how delicious it was! Great atmosphere, great tea and food, and kind owners!

Just go here. Stop reading reviews because they won't ever do it justice. But if you insist on still reading...

Randy and Paula treasures and their staff are a delight too. The vibe, much like the owners, is whimsical and cute and is perfectly rounded out with a geeky/nerdy cherry on top.

The menu and theme change monthly and I'm always excited to see what Randy has for us this time! I have been trying to go at least once a month for afternoon tea and I have had absolutely no complaints on any of my visits.

Every single time I have the pleasure of visiting is better than the last.

Support an awesome local business and #FreeRandyFromHisCorporateShackles so he can make this his full time passion.
