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

Emlen Physick Estate

(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.
