Cape May, New Jersey: Emlen Physick Estate + Carriage House Cafe & Tearoom; things to do + restaurant reviewe


(800) 275-4278, (609) 884-5404.  House tours Apr-Dec.  

Though located outside the town historic area, this 1879 Victorian Stick-style mansion is well worth a visit.  One tour option includes trolley transportation to and fro plus a rolling tour of the Historic District.  The guided house tour visits 15 authentically restored period rooms. 

Time a visit to include lunch or tea in the Carriage House Cafe & Tearoom.  Situated inside the estate’s former garage for carriages, the cafe offers a menu of tasty tea sandwiches, scones, and pastries along with a selection of teas served in delightful individual teapots.  In good weather, dining takes place inside a protective tent on the garden patio.
