Camella's Remember When Tea

I had heard good things about this interesting place and was excited to try something different and unique with my family and friends. However, my experience left me feeling uncomfortable, embarrassed, and upset. As I was unfamiliar with the restaurant or menu items, I mentioned my daughter’s peanut allergy when the salad was served. The lady acted like I was supposed to know the menu (even though it was never presented to us) and also somewhat lectured me on the safety of peanuts and cross-contamination risk. As a parent of a peanut allergic child, I understand what cross-contamination is (and I truly appreciate the disclaimer) but I felt like she was demeaning in her response to me. This conversation resulted in her making me sign a hand written waiver stating I knew she could not guarantee the food had no trace peanuts. Before she made me sign, she did ask if my daughter would still be eating. I told her she would not eat her own, but I would still sign the waiver because I would let her taste some of my sandwich. She quickly pointed out that if she eats any sandwich, she would be charged for a meal. Anyway, the food and tea were very tasty, but the situation should have been handled much differently. It ended up being $25 per person (tax and gratuity I guess—the hand written post-it receipt did not have a break down) and I’m just in disbelief that this is how she does business. What should have been a quick, private conversation turned into a big ordeal for other patrons to see.

The owner does an excellent job making you feel welcome and her service is impeccable. She offers many fine teas and well thought-out menus. They vary month to month. Don't miss this place!

All The way from Pennsylvania to have tea with my friend Mary. The service was so personal! The proprietor even took the time to sit with us and have a cup of tea of her own. She shared the history of the home and the area. The food was beautifully presented and delicious I will definitely be back!!

Took my grandma here for her birthday. The iced lavender tea was delicious. A delightful afternoon!

This was a wonderful experience. My sister and I took our mother for Mother’s Day. It was a great and different mother/daughter outing. The food was good. And the tea amazing!
