The hours on the website are not accurate and the phone number will just send you to voicemail. This is the second time I have been during the listed hours and they have been closed with a sign announcing the new hours (not updated on website) seems like they close at 4pm some days and 5 pm other days but there’s no way to know in advance.

Came specifically to see this store as we were told about the interior. Arrived during trading hours to find the store closed. Asked information at the station who said they probably didn’t have enough staff which apparently happens often. Avoid the disappointment and don’t bother coming.

There is a more limited selection of ice cream and higher prices than you would find at a normal Graeter's but the seating area is super cute and totally original to the building. All Rookwood tiles! It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon despite the larger museum being crowded. The hours are different from the larger museum so plan your trip accordingly.

I absolutely love this little icecream parlor and Try to come here almost every time i visit the Museum center. It’s really cool sitting down and eating Icecream in this little historic room, surrounded by the beautiful Rookwood tiles and retro aesthetic. It’s almost like you’ve stepped back in time.

I remember eating ice cream here when I was young and it was always a big deal/fun experience. I've wanted to take my 3 sons to enjoy ice cream in the Rookwood tile environment since we became members back in December, but we would always forget to go early and it would close before we could make it in. We were finally able to order ice cream and eat inside the Rookwood Tea Room yesterday, but I was so disappointed. We spent well over $30 with my museum membership discount and got very, very little ice cream. I believe the lady behind the counter was possibly training the gentleman who ended up scooping and serving us our ice cream. All 3 cups I purchased were barely filled with 2 small scoops of sorbet/ice cream. My middle son wanted a waffle cone, that I had forgotten about until after we sat down, so I went back up and ordered him a double scoop waffle cone, the woman scooped it, and it was an appropriate amount. The 2 employees behind the ice cream shop counter were extremely nice and helpful, I just felt awkward being like "are these 2 tiny scoops all we get for $6.99." We did enjoy the environment and nostalgia of the Rookwood Tea Room. We just wish there was more ice cream s
