The St. James Tearoom
The St. James Tearoom is my favorite tearoom...indeed, my favorite place anywhere to go to relax with fine teas and delicious food. The setting is relaxing and lovely, very peaceful, with superb service. The privacy provided by pretty screens and wingback chairs is very welcoming. I have several friends who love it as much as I do, and we try to go at least twice a month. If we are served a tea we don't care for, all we have to do is let our server know, and she will bring us a tea of our choice, which is usually Picasso's Soiree or Eye of the Tiger. The first time I went, I thought I would leave hungry, but I have found that if I eat everything I'm served, I leave stuffed, so I usually take several of my desserts home in a pretty St. James box. There is nothing snooty or unfriendly about this tearoom. Everyone is warm, friendly, and very helpful. They learn the names of their regular customers and know who we are when they see us, and they go out of their way to make our tea experience wonderful.
