Calabash Garden Tea Room
My sisters and I heard about the tearoom near the end of our visit to Sunset Beach. We went with my nieces on our last way of vacation. It was a wonderful experience and the girls stated it was one of the highlights of the trip. Tea is in a small cottage and is very intimate. The owners serve so you get a chance to hear their story. The girls loved picking a hat to wear for tea from a collection offered to guests in an old fashioned bathroom. There was time for pictures. The food and presentation were exquisite! The owners pay attention to every detail; each tea sandwich had its own personality--some time with satin ribbons, the chicken salad in an edible hen's nest. The butterscotch toffee scones with clotted cream and lemon chard were to die for. In addition there a number of other desserts that were all scumptious. I had the Ragamuffin Tea which was excellent. There was an assortment of about 35 teas. The ambiance of the place made for a perfect afternoon and way to wrap of the week. This will definitely be an annual tradition for the girls in our family!
