Comments: My husband and I go to the teacup cottage for tea or lunch on occasion. The service has always been outstanding, and especially the attention to detail given on the teas! The food is excellent. We have tried their delicious soups, chicken salad, and sandwiches, not to mention the special teas. Kim, the owner is active in running her establishment and she goes out of her way to make everyone feel relaxed, and pampered by her staff. We have always had a delightful experience and love the enormous selection of fine teas.

Comments: This is a quaint but delightful teahouse in downtown Atlanta. The atmosphere was quite inviting. The service was outstanding and the menu choices, although limited, were reasonably priced and quickly prepared onsite. Our party tried 2 different teas and we were graciously given information on several other teas that might suit our palate. Great place to go for a light lunch choice or for great desserts (the chocolate and coconut cakes were unbelievably good).

Park 75 at Four Seasons Hotel, Atlanta, GA

Visited: April, 2001
Comments: I had tea for the second time at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta, and a second pleasant experience. I know that many Teamailers have said that sometimes they get frustrated with the tea taking a back seat to the savories and sweets. I am delighted to report that this is not the case at the Four Seasons.
The nice gentleman who took care of us enthusiastically described his training with John Harney, who came in person to instruct the staff on the correct preparation and serving of Harney's teas. I had Harney's Formosa Oolong, which was excellent. Perhaps my only small wish would be to have a second pot to decant the remaining tea after pouring the first cup so as not to over-steep, but this is only a minor concern because the pots are really only sized for about two servings, so it's likely the drinker will pour it all before it becomes bitter.
The meal, $19 apiece (at the time of this writing, 4/22/01), was ample. I thought it was a very reasonable price for what was served, particularly compared with the Ritz-Carlton's price for tea. I have yet to make it there for tea, unfortunately, so can't make any sort of judgment, but I have heard it's roughly $60 apiece, and it has been booked for weeks every time I've tried to go (and I'm not one to leave things of this sort until the last minute).
The chocolate chip scones were served with lemon curd and what was supposedly clotted cream. The latter -- I remember the first occasion, it *was* clotted cream, but I think this time due to dairy import restrictions it was a whipped substitute of some sort. Not their fault, and still nice. The scones were a touch crumbly for my taste ... not dry, just crumbly. That's a personal preference, however.
The second tier contained sandwiches: egg salad on wheat with a bit of cress and a sliver of avocado on top, I think; a smoked salmon roulade topped with caviar; a crab sandwich of some sort, and, my favorite, beautiful little ham sandwiches with melted brie and a bit of mustard, all edged with transparently-thin slices of red grape. I could have eaten several of those. :)
The third tier was filled with sweets: a small fruit tart, two different kinds of chocolates (one was toffee, but it may vary); two cookies, one chocolate, one almond (I think); a slice of banana bread, and a few other things, I think. Several options, as you can see, and quite worth $19, I thought.
The staff was warm and professional, especially the gentleman of French descent who chatted with us about the Harney's training. (I think French, but might've been French Canadian. Absolutely delightful, either way.)
They also have champagne and sherry if you're not quite in the mood for tea. Overall, a very positive experience.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Buckhead, GA

Visited: March, 2008.  Meal: ? Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent.  Food: Poor. Service: Poor.  Appearance: Good.
Comments: The tea was usually hot, when finally served. The food was assembly-line fare and reasonably fresh - I didn't fear food poisoning. The only redeeming feature of the tea was the scones. During previous teas, the room appeared to be reserved for tea attendees. During this visit, however, the room was apparently open to anyone who wandered in off the street. One rather boisterous group appeared to be business folk, yet another group seemed not quite sure what we were doing drinking tea in their bar. I know it seems impossible, but a barefoot - yes, you read that correctly, barefoot - man casually walked through the room into an adjoining one and sat down with a newspaper. Needless to say, we will not repeat this experience.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

However the customer service at the Ritz, is top notch.

Comments: If anyone has been discouraged from visiting this tea room due to Tea Maven's review from 2002, please give this wonderful hotel another chance. My husband and I had a thoroughly delightful experience with afternoon tea here. First, the room is gorgeous ... there is no mistaking this hotel's location as being in "The South." The room has a garden-room feel to it, with beautifully upholstered chairs in a floral design, delicate colors of soft white, green, pink, and lavender, and large windows overlooking a beautifully landscaped area. My husband favorably compared this experience to that of The Empress Hotel in British Columbia. He felt quite comfortable, which is not an everyday occurrence for him in tea rooms. Often they are patronized mostly by women. But here was a wonderful mix of both men and women, as well as business and leisure visitors. A most convivial and dynamic atmosphere ... nothing musty or fussy. The table was beautifully set with Wedgwood china in an Oriental crane motif, in keeping with the general atmosphere of the room. Gorgeous sandwiches and pastries were served on a silver three-tiered plate holder. And the scones and tea bread were absolutely delicious. We appreciated the unusual variety of sandwiches ... smoked salmon, hummus, dilled shrimp, and tomato-mozzarella. Several selections of Mighty Leaf tea were offered, and service was impeccable. All in all, a premier experience.

Comments: Our Red Hat Society group of twelve visited this wonderful place and are still talking about it. We decided that this is one place we want to visit at least once a year. The service was wonderful, the food was suburb, and the tea was served promptly. The server was very attentive when it came to filling our cups. The scones were the best we had tasted, the desserts were to die for. The savories were very fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend this for high [sic] tea. We sat in the back overlooking Lenox Mall. The only complaint I had was I wish they had told us that valet parking was included; we didn't know this. If you park in the paid parking lot behind the hotel (which is not the Ritz's, and you will pay a high price -- $1.50 for 20 minutes). Other than that a very enjoyable experience.

Comments: We were a large group and were placed on sofas and chairs near the fireplace. I sat on a backless stool near the fireplace and roasted. Some of the older ladies had trouble on the mushy couch. The tea was served on the coffee table and was very crowded. It was so crowded they did not leave the teapots with us, and they would only allow four pots for the eight of us. I didn't get to drink the kind I really would have liked to try. I would not recommend for large parties. For smaller parties they seat you at a regular table and have a pot for each individual from what I could see. The food was good but not at all excellent.

I was going to have scones after the soup, but the server did not ask if wanted any dessert. She also didn’t offer to refill my teapot or water. I’ve eaten here before and enjoyed it more, so maybe it was just an off day.

After three hours we arrived at the teashop and found to our dismay that you needed RESERVATIONS! Nowhere on this website or on the teashop's telephone answering message does it state that you need reservations (we called before we left and only got the answering service). [Note:  TeaGuide clearly states: The only certainty in life is change. We recommend that you call ahead to confirm the details listed in TeaGuide, especially if you are traveling a distance. - Editor] We enquired about the possibility of getting reservations for later that afternoon and were told that would not be possible. You can imagine our disappointment. On a positive note the retail shop is very nice and quaint and we picked up an adorable doll's tea set for my four-year old daughter.

FDR might have changed his favorite picnic spot if the Rose Cottage has been there years ago! I would definitely put this on your "must do" list if you are in the area. The town is charming and one could easily spend several hours before tea looking around. Be sure to call ahead and make a reservation ... and you won't go away hungry!

Comments: What a jewel of a tea room the lovely resort town of Pine Mountain now has. Newly opened, as of September 2003, this tea room is located in the charming, historic downtown area of tiny Pine Mountain, Georgia. Though a small southern town, Pine Mountain draws a lot of tourist trade due to its nearby vicinity to Callaway Gardens and the F.D.R. Little White House national historic site. The Rose Cottage tea room adds a new level of graciousness to this charming resort area.
On the day that I visited Rose Cottage, I simply stumbled across their tea room by its inviting sign and pretty lace curtains at the front windows. Inside, I discovered a charmingly decorated interior of several separate rooms ... including a gift shop decorated in antique furniture brought over from England. Since it was eleven o'clock, I came in just for a cup of tea. There were two to three selections from four categories of tea: black, green, flavored black, and herbal tisanes. The tea came loose in a beautiful china teapot. When I asked for a tea cosy, one was promptly provided. As I sat enjoying this delicious cup of tea in their beautifully decorated front room, I mentioned to my server how sorry I was to not have known of their existence, so that I could have made advance reservations for the full afternoon tea their menu described. After a short visit to the kitchen, and without my even having made the request, my server advised me that they would be able to prepare the full afternoon tea for me if I desired. Of course, I did desire it, and it was wonderful. The four sandwiches were delicious on soft, flavorful breads. The fillings were chicken curry, egg salad, and prosciutto with mozzarella, and basil pesto spread. They offered a selection of scones: apricot, rosemary, and ginger. And the pastries were four miniature muffins and two tartlets with lemon curd and strawberries. Everything was flavorful, and the only feature keeping my food rating from "good" to "excellent" was a bit of dryness to their pastries. Yet I must take into account the short-nature Served they had for my visit.
All in all, this was a delightful experience. The service was quite solicitous, tea selections varied, well prepared, and of high quality (Harney & Sons), and the food quite good. I spent a wonderful three hours there writing Christmas cards, and was made to feel quite welcome during my entire stay. It also gave me the opportunity to observe the well-attended nature of this new tea room. Although most patrons come for lunch, which is served from 11am to 2pm, it is not difficult to arrange for the full English tea service. And even if one just came in for lunch, the menu selections of gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, scones, and killer-looking desserts, would make for a delightful repast. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Comments: A sweet stone cottage, victorian design, lots of art on the walls. We went for High [sic] Tea (served anytime). It was lovely, leisurely, we sat for 1 1/2 hours and were attended to the whole time. The food was so unique and so good we didn't want to stop eating!
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Gryphon Tea Room, Savannah, GA

Visited: August, 2007.  Meal: Lunch. Type of tea: Loose leaf teas. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Fair.  Food: Good. Service: Average.  Appearance: Average.
Comments: First off, this tea room is run by art school students, so you may have to alter your expectations. I went for lunch because, from all outward appearences, I did not think I was going to get the relaxed environment I like for afternoon tea. I ordered one pot of tea which was brought to the table with the bag hanging out of the teapot with instructions to "let it steep for a few minutes" (white tea). I also had a tuna salad sandwich that was tasty. I opted to skip dessert as nothing in the display cases grabbed me. The server was a nice guy, but not a tea guy. The room was large and carried noise  well if you are the sort who likes to listen to other people's conversations. Bottom line, if you are a tea snob, you are likely to be unimpressed. If you just want to hang out and have some tea and a snack, you could do a lot worse. If you fancy yourself anti-establishment and like to be trendy, this is the tea room for you.
Would you go back? Maybe.

Meal: Cream tea. Type of tea: Loose leaf teas and teabags. Served: In a mug.
Tea: Poor.  Food: Poor. Service: Poor.  Appearance: Fair.
Comments: Hands down the worst cup of Chai I have ever had and I have had many a cup of Chai. It was crowded and noisy and the service was terrible - the server did not come back to the table after the Chai and tea cakes were delivered except to deliver the check. The tea cake assortment was stale and pretty tasteless. I was extremely disappointed in my visit.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments: We were highly disappointed in this tearoom. It was so crowded and noisy my husband and I could not carry on a conversation. The tables were too close together and the little wooden chairs were very uncomfortable. We will not visit again.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments: This is my favorite tea shop. I love the historic setting. I've found that some places have great food and a poor setting, while others have a beautiful setting with poor food. This place is the total package. Excellent food in a wonderful setting. Check out the quotes about tea in the bathroom. I love the Gryphon. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.
