Calabash Garden Tea Room & Gift Shop

My friend visiting and I came to tea time here last week and just loved it! It was delicious and lots of teas to pic from. It's definitely a must to do with girlfriends. Definitely will do it again. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Went for afternoon tea with a friend and absolutely fell in love with this place. Food is phenomenal (please please release a cookbook!), service is the absolute best, and the tea is exquisite. The atmosphere is so charming and cozy. I can't wait to go back!

My husband and I went here for my birthday treat last weekend. We both had such a great time. He was a little nervous about it at first but was the first to say we gotta come back...and we will!! We had the caramel vanilla cake tea and the Paris tea. Both I highly recommend! Start with Paris for the sandwiches and the "cake" tea for the dessert portion as you work your way up the tier tray. Wonderful experience!!

Very cute little tea shop in Calabash, NC. I took my mother and she was delighted. It is a tiny little place, but jam-packed with knick-knacks, so larger folks (like me) should maintain body proprioception. Although this was a very pleasant experience for two adults, this shop would be ideal to host a little girl's Tea Party birthday. They have tons of hats and other kitsch one can wear to enhance the experience, and a private room in which to contain the chaos.All told, we very much enjoyed the experience, and congratulate our hostesses on their fine business. We will go back.

My favorite tea room! My family has been coming here for a few years and it is always top tier. They have a great tea selection, the food is delicious, the decor is beautiful, the service is always very attentive, and it means a lot that they prepared a special vegetarian tea for me! I also love their beautiful decor and tableware. I always look forward to coming here and I can’t wait for my next visit.

Vegetarian options: Must tell them ahead of time but they will accommodate!

ONLY ONE POT OF TEA. I was surprised to learn that the $50 only includes one pot of tea. No one goes to a tea room for the food. If they did they would be disappointed by that too. $50 for one pot of tea and store bought snacks is ridiculous. Why offer so many varieties of tea and only let people try one each? This was a total disappointment. Also you don't have an option to pick which treats you would like and since it's December they had all peppermint things. Which no one cared for. The woman who worked there was not personable at all.Honestly it wasn't even worth taking my invisalign out for.If you want to go to a good tea place where you get unlimited pots of tea, great service and it'll only cost you $30 go to Hopeseewee Plantation. I've gone there 3 times now and haven't been disappointed. You can walk around the grounds, get a tour and they also have a museum.I was really hoping this place would be better as I love my tea. And I drove over an hour to get there. Definitely wasn't worth the drive.
