About

Welcome to The Victorian Tea Room, Forney’s newest destination for timeless elegance, warm conversation, and the simple joy that a pot of tea can bring.

I’m Catherine Mathis, and opening this tea room has been a dream close to my heart for many years. For me, tea is so much more than a beverage — it’s an experience. It’s the dress-up and the delicate china, the aroma of freshly steeped leaves, the laughter shared over tiers of pastries and sandwiches, and the feeling of slowing down to truly enjoy the moment.

I fell in love with the tradition of high tea because it brings people together in a way that’s both refined and deeply personal. There’s something magical about pausing life’s rush to gather around a beautifully set table — to sip, savor, and connect.

Bringing a tea room to Forney, Texas feels special because I believe this community deserves a place where elegance and warmth meet — a space where friends, families, and neighbors can make memories, celebrate milestones, or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon steeped in good company.

At The Victorian Tea Room, we invite you to step into a world where every detail from our curated tea selections to our handcrafted menu and cozy atmosphere, has been designed to create a memorable experience.

So come dressed up, bring a friend (or make a new one), and let’s share the joy of tea together. Because here in Forney, we believe that every cup tells a story, and we can’t wait to be part of yours.

Warmly,
Catherine Mathis
