“We would visit tea rooms and my husband, who is my biggest supporter, encouraged me and helped me to open the business,” said Jennifer. The tea room is a fun place to have lunch or host a party. Each room is decorated in soft florals, vintage china, crystal chandeliers, colorful umbrellas and a fireplace. “One of our specials is the three-tier trio that is served with a dessert on the top, sandwich or wrap on the middle, and a soup, salad or side on the bottom,” said Jennifer. “We also have fun hats that the ladies can wear during lunch and a 100-year-old baby grand piano.” The tea room also has a gift shop with a wide variety of gifts, boutique clothing and home decor.
