  • August Tea Room

    

    Our tea group, Sisters of The Leaf, had tea at the August Tea Room in August and it was one of the BEST times we've ever had! And well worth the drive from Sacramento. We often travel all over No. CA in search of the Perfect Tea Experience and if Lety and Anita aren't perfect they certainly come Nearest! The atmosphere manages to strike that perfect balance between warm and welcoming and elegant and refined. Upon entering the gift shop had enough quality and variety that everyone in our group left with something, including our 5-year old Tea Princess, whose usually bored with this part of the day. As a matter of fact she was making a purchase as the doors were closing. But where August Tea Room excels is the reason we drove so far the Tea and Food! Upon learning that Tea was our passion, Lety and Anita made certain we were able to taste as many varieties as we wanted. And not only was the food delicious, it was beautifully presented and certainly not the same old cucumber, tuna and egg salad sandwiches we've come to expect. The sandwiches actually had a FILLING, not just a wipe-off of the knife, which again we've encountered more often then we like, including one prestigious San Francisco Hotel where we paid over $60/person (including tax and tip) and couldn't wait to hit the first hamburger stand we came to! But back on subject, the other area where August Tea Room excells is Service. We all agreed that Lety and Anita should open a training school. The young hostesses who served our table were polite, attentive-but not intrusive and very knowledeable! Finally there were all the special touches, which is the real reason ladies come to tea - cookies and tea served to our early arrivals as we waited for our table;individual copies of our group's picture;a sample of the one tea that we all couldn't stop talking about and so much more. And we know this must be the August Tea Room's normal standards because Lety was out of town celebrating her birthday during our visit! So all of the Sisters agree we'll be back!

    Tearoom response:

    Dear Karen,

    We don't know what to say with such detail and complementary. We appreciate your kind words and we certainly thank you and your group for

    visiting our tearoom.

    As an owner of August Tea Room quite proud that your group found us and gave us such raving review.

    We are fortunate to have employees that has pride and passion on what they do.

    Thank you so much and we hope to see you all during the holiday.
