Destination Tea Notes: When you’re an Associate Director of Video Production at Kennesaw State University and your part-time baking business takes off, seems like it’s time to move to Ellijay and open a bakery and tearoom. That’s exactly what owner Jennifer Leifheit-Little did, and a good thing, too: this 19th century downtown needed a tearoom. Jennifer’s eye for creating an aesthetic is evidenced in her logos, cheerful blue-and-white color scheme, and antique furniture and teaset collection. Partnering with Charity Meints (cheesecakes and quiches are some of her specialties), she also smartly called on her mother-in-law, Janet Nixie, to create beautiful stained glass transom windows, and propped a giant, gold-framed ornate mirror at the front of the tearoom to invite patrons to snap their own portraits. We very much appreciate the low tea seating area carved out of the traditional dining room, reminiscent of the drawing rooms where afternoon tea was first served. Having just opened last month, the tearoom is starting slow with a weekly afternoon tea service, the highlight of which (unsurprisingly) is homebaked treats. We had a lovely afternoon together on our first visit here, appreciated Jennifer’s caring service, and look forward to seeing how this afternoon tea grows over time.

Ooh, this one is about 45 minutes from me. I will be visiting soon! Thanks for the review.
Good! Please let us know what you think of it Joy. I remember when we first met you were saying there were few tearooms near you.
