We went here for a birthday party. The style and feel of this tea room was so cute and cozy. There were lots of little touches that were so sweet. Like a set of salt and pepper shakers that were tea pots. There were lots of tea options on the list. I had the adult grilled cheese. It was pretty good. I didn't make any changes or amendments. I also got the chicken velvet soup. Yum! I'm not a fan of scones, but my table mates said they were okay. The service was not bad. There were a lot of us and it can be challenging to keep up with all of the demands with only three people. I would love to come in again with just myself and my daughter to get a true feel for their service. I will definitely go again.

Pretty restaurant found in an older two story home in Greenwood. The home had nice porches with tables but a little cool and breezy on this day. I was presented with a tea menu and lunch menu upon being seated. From the tea menu I chose the Almond Shortbread. They brought the bag and hot water to me in a cute little teapot and teacup and saucer. It looked like they were all different from one another looking around the room I was in. I dined upstairs. This tea selection was pretty tasty. I ordered the sassafras quiche which is their signature selection. The quiche is crustless and is bursting with feta cheese, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. It is topped with hollandaise sauce (a little too much of this for me). It comes with a side salad and a scone. The side salad was a simple mixed greens salad with a raspberry vinaigrette and that vinaigrette may have been my favorite salad dressing of the year! The scone was ok, I am not a huge fan of them. I dipped in my tea though. All of this for $17.57 and $16.90 if I pay with cash. What a deal. I will likely stop in again for lunch and try something different on their menu but I would say it is worth the stop and the service was excellent. They were very busy.

Cute and adorable little place. Was attending a baby shower fory niece. Had some very cute items for purchase. We had a very specific menu for lunch. The chicken salad croissant was delicious, and the salad with it is small. But not having to clean a house to throw a party, PRICELESS.

A very cozy eclectic little place with a nice ambiance and wonderful staff. The owner is absolutely super and friendly. It's my favorite place to take my 15 yr old granddaughter for our time together.

I have been wanting to go here for a while. I checked them out on Yelp before I went. They seem to have shining reviews for the most part. We went about 1 o'clock so we missed the lunch rush on purpose. There really wasn't anybody there when we got there. It's a very small dining area so I understand why they would take reservations. I guess we must've went on an off day because the server seemed a bit preoccupied and indifferent. We didn't get glasses of water as part of the standard offering. She didn't ask so we had to ask for them. She didn't check on us like she should have. Again, it was not busy at all. We ordered hot tea and it was OK. I didn't pay the bill, so I'm not sure if she charged each one of us separately for the tea, but we shared a pot. We ordered the Panini and the Grilled cheese. The food tasted OK, but I had a few issues with the salad not being anything special. It was just a smattering of plain lettuce (with nothing else) and the dressing. It was a raspberry vinaigrette, and it was decent. The problem with the sandwiches was basically that for the amount of money that you pay, it barely had any meat on it. I didn't take a picture of it, but I probably should have because it was super paltry. Barely one slice of each type of meat. It was super disappointing. A scone was hard and on the dry side. It was barely sweet and lacked flavor. We also ordered the chocolate pie dessert. It was just OK. I am guessing it was purchased elsewhere. After it was all said and done the tab ended up being over $40. It's quite a bit of cash for lunch. It was enough to fill you up without having to take anything home, but I still feel like for what you get it wasn't that spectacular or worth the price. Their pricing is also not advertised accurately online as well.

My family hosted a bridal shower tea party for me at Sassafras! It was absolutely adorable! The shop is so cute and has such a big personality. The food was incredible - finger sandwiches and desserts - not to mention the tea itself! So many different wonderful options! The service was phenomenal throughout the event. It is obvious that they truly care about their customers. Overall - highly recommend Sassafras for all of your tea party needs!

Visiting here was such a treat! The staff was so kind, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was so cute. Came here with my mom, sisters, and niece for an all girls day, and this was the perfect environment. Great for adults and kids (they have a kids menu if you ask!). I have a service dog too and they were very accommodating. 10/10 would recommend coming here!! I will definitely be going back.

We had my daughter's bridal shower at Sassafras Tea Room in Greenwood, Indiana. Kristi was a pleasure to work with in the planning of the party - they were able to provide a great venue, delectable food, a beautiful cake and cookies for the treat bags. The food and tea were delicious, the presentation was fabulous and the desserts were phenomenal. Everything ran smoothly and the service was fantastic. I am so pleased that we chose the Sassafras Tea Room and I strongly encourage everyone to treat themselves to an incredible experience there!
