Destination Tea Notes: Two years after purchasing City Café & Bakery, owners Izzy and Sonia Salgado have introduced a new afternoon tea service, offered on select Wednesdays. Typically for this occasion, outdoor patio tables are dressed up in white lace tablecloths, but on our visit, a storm forced the event indoors. We were glad for the opportunity to take tea in the inviting dining room that feels like a cross between a large hall and a city courtyard, warmed by street lamps, flower boxes and brick accents. As expected, the highlight of this afternoon tea are the freshly crafted desserts, but we also have compliments for the sandwich selection. Our attentive server wisely gave us plenty of time to enjoy our afternoon tea at our leisure. Naturally we cheer the fact that afternoon-tea-goers south of Atlanta have a new venue to explore, but we equally love that the homemade menu here changes every month, so guests can experience new delights on each visit.
We love comments! Destination Tea's comment policy shares a guiding principle with afternoon tea etiquette: please be gracious. We welcome honest comments that are not rude or scathing.
