Mitties Restaurant and Tea Room
I'm afraid I was dissappointed in the Roswell Mittie's. I had decided what I wanted based on the menu from their website, but when I arrived, the menu was not the same. They didn't have the chocolate chai and they didn't have roasted potatoes and fruit with the brakfast aas stated on-line. I wonder if that was the menu for the Alpharetta restaurant. It just wasn't anything special as I had hoped a tearoom would be. I'd rather drive the extra 10 miles and go to the Tea Leaves and Thyme tearoom in Woodstock if I want to take friends somewhere special. Otherwise, it's a nice restaurant.

Tea Leaves and Thyme
I drove 20 miles to check out this restaurant after reading an article on four tea rooms in our local paper. I was very pleased with the entire experience. I'm glad I called ahead that morning to make a reservation as they were very busy for the holiday season. I ordered the Full Tea with the chicken salad croissant which was scrumptious. They had sugar cubes and artificial sweetners on the table and served milk upon my request. They even gave me a fresh pot of a different tea when the Christmas tea wasn't exactly what I was in the mood for that day. I switched to a vanilla spice which went well with the milk I was craving after having so many sweets. I enjoyed watching a little boy wearing an older man's hat savor each item of his children's tea. There was also a large group of red hat women there from an assisted living facility. The staff worked hard to accomodate the wheelchairs and walkers to make it an enjoyable lunch for everyone. I also bought several items from the gift shop which they gift wrapped for no extra charge. I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back with guests of my own.
