Calabash Garden Tea Room

We did this for my sister’s surprise birthday lunch. We had the Ultimate Tea! It was fantastic! You get plenty of food and your own pot of tea. They have over 70 to choose from. The tomato soup was amazing and I don’t even like tomato soup! The atmosphere is the greatest thing about this place. It’s beautiful and like stepping back in time. I also loved the mismatched tea sets. They also sell loose leaf teas and other tea essentials. I can’t wait to go back!

Hailing from Boulder, CO, where a favorite place is the elegant tea house gifted to the city by Dushanbe, Tajikistan, I have unfairly high standards when it comes to other such spots. The Calabash Garden Tea Room didn’t just meet my expectations, it far exceeded them. The ambience is absolutely enchanting! Every tiny detail is special — from the charmingly mismatched china to the one-​of-​a-​kind handkerchief napkins to the knowledgeable and smiling attention of the waitstaff. The tea, of course, is beyond exquisite. And the tiers of savory finger sandwiches, scrumptious scones and sweet treats are utterly and unforgettably delectable. Treat yourself to a special time at the Calabash Garden Tea Room. I know I’ll find any excuse to do the same.

My first trip to Calabash was two years ago and I visited the tea room with my daughter. The décor is so quaint that you feel like you have stepped back in time. The entire «tea experience» was magical, from your first sip of tea to your last bite of a scrumptious dessert. The owner and her staff made us feel like we were visiting friends and sitting in her living room having lunch. I went back again this year with a friend because I was so impressed and it was just as wonderful an experience as the first time. It is a must stop. It is an experience like no other.
