Cream Tea at The Queen’s Pantry

Today, I did some shopping in Atlanta and since it is National Cream Tea Day in England (International Cream Tea Day to me), I celebrated at The Queen's Pantry in Marietta. 


Samantha, the owner of The Queen's Pantry, offers Cream Teas on Fridays.  She has three seatings and if you are visiting Atlanta or live in the area, you simply must call for a reservation at 678.483.0900.  They are located at 4235 Merchants Walk Drive, Marietta, Georgia.

This is the menu for the Cream Tea:


The Queen was watching so I made sure to mind my tea's and q's.


The tea sandwiches were served with a side of Branston Pickle, which I love.


The scone was served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, of course.


Perfectly steeped black tea in a dainty teacup.


I was very impressed with the presentation of the check...it arrived on a tea plate and doily, with an after-dinner mint, and a thank-you note from Samantha!  Now I am spoiled and will be disappointed at restaurants in the future when I receive my check without a thank-you note!


Customer service is everything and Samantha went out of her way to make my visit a memorable one.  She deserves my "5 Silver Teaspoons" award!


After tea, I did a bit of shopping.  The Pantry has a wide assortment of tea accoutrements and British foods & party supplies.


Thank you for visiting with me today.  I hope that you have enjoyed the Cream Tea posts this week and that you might have learned something new about Cream Teas!
