The Charleston Tea Room Cafe

Glad they're back open 11-2! Some great new delicious items added to their always great menu. Fast, friendly service. The new management is very welcoming, hard-working, and accommodating. Good prices!

I really enjoyed this quaint little sandwich bistro. The chicken salad on a croissant was delicious! I drank hot tea with mine. Service was excellent; very attentive and friendly waitress but not intrusive. I'd go back and take guests with confidence in a good return on investment. Highly recommend.

I give this tea room 2 stars due to its poor ambiance. The decor is severely lacking, and there is no background music playing, which makes the atmosphere quite dull. The food is generally good, but the mac and cheese is a letdown—it’s just Velveeta from a box. I would expect something homemade instead. View menu

My go to lunch spot every time I’m in town! I always order a sandwich or salad sampler bc I can’t decide what my favorite item is. Everything is so good! I’m also a big fan of the potato salad and the Charleston delight dessert. The apricot iced tea is so refreshing. The owner is so sweet and attentive to her customers. Highly recommend.

Wow! Things have changed and I won't be coming back here again. Service was very slow and it was obvious they are spending their time on to go orders and NOT restaurant customers. Also the description of the tuna salad is erroneous. My sister was misled by the menu so went without most of her lunch AND then they surcharge for using a debit or credit card! Never again for me!

The portions were incredibly small compared to what they used to be; the sandwiches had very little filling. The SAMPLER tasted like it was thrown together with leftovers from a Monday morning. I was really disappointed after looking forward to visiting an old friend. The baked potato soup was mushy. The only highlight from the SAMPLER was the toast points, which were quite good! View menu

Today my son and I finally tried this restaurant and I’m so glad we did! I had the chicken salad over greens plate and the baked potato soup both delicious! My boy also loved his food but I think he loved the warm, buttery, flaky bread they brought with our drinks even more. Tea was fresh and strong and the service was fast. Definitely plan on returning with the rest of the gang soon!

I called ahead to check if there was dine-in availability, but I didn’t receive a response. When I arrived around 1 PM, the place was packed. After waiting about 10 minutes, I was seated, but when my order was taken, I was later informed that they were out of potato soup and substituted it with what tasted like canned chicken noodle. Additionally, my plate was not presented as beautifully as it had been in the past. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, but the overall experience was disappointing. It seemed like they were overwhelmed, which affected the service. I might consider trying again, but not anytime soon.

Food was awful. Every dish. The egg salad was sliced and drenched and mixed with an off-brand salad dressing and put on a low budget croissant. Their corn chowder was bland with no flavor. The pumpkin bread was dry. The shrimp salad was boiled shrimp drenched in an off brand salad dressing with no seasoning. The chicken salad tasted like canned deviled spread. Pimento cheese didn’t taste homemade. Everything seemed to be low budget store bought slapped together. No attention to detail. Olive green plastic table covers. No China ... cheap white restaurant plain plates. Their signature Charleston Delight desert served on almost every plate in plastic jello cups, was nothing to write home about... View menu
