Food: Laura's Tea room is my favorite tea room in South Carolina! I drive over 2 hours to get there for special occasions, like birthdays and mother's day! The downstairs is an alluring gift shop, with tea acessories, books, tea, girly gifts and more! The tea room is fun with your choice of hats to wear and tea cups to drink from! Laura's 'tea' includes several courses with the 3 tier server, which makes you feel like you're having a proper tea! Laura's presentations do not include crackers or 'chain' cheesecakes, like so many others. The tablesettings are charming and inviting. You feel very special, as they have your table set up,just for you! You have a choice of delicious hot teas and you're always served a heavenly glass of their flavored iced teas...it's just lovely! It is truly an afternoon of relaxation. A wonderful experience! I highly recommend visiting this adorable tearoom. You won't be disappointed. They know what they're doing. |

Food:  Disappointed we did not get soup and quiche courses even though it was the 21.95 price and in the description. Everything else was perfect and a wonderful time with my daughter. Tea is excellent, atmosphere incredible. Food was definitely lacking. |

Food: This is my first experience with a tea room and it was wonderful. I took my mom who loves tea. We had a wonderful time. Carol and all the staff was delightful, the food was delicious and the experience is like no other. I liked being able to pick a hat to wear and pick your own cup to drink from. The place settings were elegant and made me feel like I was being treated like a queen for the day. I highly recommend Laura's tea room for a girls' day out. |
