Silver Fountain Inn & Tea Parlor

This was our 5th tea at Silver Fountain and it never disappoints! The food is delicious and the service is warm and attentive.

The Tea Room is so quaint and unusual, it was creatively decorated and had themed rooms. The food and tea were delicious, very fresh and a very nice selection. We will be going back.

The Silver Inn Tea Parlor is a wonderful experience! We went for my friend's birthday and ordered “ The Duchess “. Three tiers of deliciousness! It includes soup, finger sandwiches, scones, and sweets, along with two pots of tea. The tea selection is amazing! The theme was “ Alice in Wonderland”. I highly recommend this venue. It is fun, anytime, but a great place for a special occasion.

We had a delightful time at the Silver Fountain Tea Parlor. The atmosphere, the attentive server, the delicious tea and accompaniments made our time there special. This has always been our go-to for tea parlours, but this time, we noticed the portion size of the savories that were included were miniscule and much smaller than we had enjoyed in the past. The scones were delicious and appropriately sized, but the savory entrees would have had a greater impact if they were a little bigger. Also, the gelato was contained in a tiny 1-inch paper wrapper...what was the point of even serving it? We may return again some day, but we hope they improve their portion sizes in the near future so that they make the cost of the meal worthwhile.

It was such an elegant experience for the three of us! There were so many tea varieties it was difficult to choose. We had many questions about them, and our server was happy to answer them all. It took us some time to decide but we did not feel rushed. The 3 different teas were wonderful but unfortunately, I cannot remember what we picked. We ordered 2 two-tiers which included two kinds of scones, mushrooms, bruschetta with chocolate hummus and meatballs. They also catered to one of us by adding cucumber sandwiches since she had some food restrictions. The table settings, furniture, decorations, etc., made you feel like you were royalty. We were able to look at some of the bedrooms and private baths. They were absolutely beautiful. Everything was pristine. We look forward to going back and having tea and desserts! Thank you for making us feel so special.

I treated my young grand-daughter and my daughter there as a Christmas present. We ordered the Duchess of Bedford Tea tier. Every single thing we ate was delectable! With it we sipped Mango Pear white tea. Heavenly! They played music softly in the background. The decor is gorgeous. I could live there quite happily. It was a wonderful experience. We keep talking about it. We'll definitely be visiting again!

I took a friend for afternoon tea as I have been there before and even had my daughter’s baby shower there. Both previous experiences were very nice. Today was a disappointment. We ordered the Duchess tea service at $38/person. We each had a tea cup sized portion of beef stew and shared a tiered tray of a bun filled with curried potatoes, a small open-faced sandwich and a three bite salad served in a cupcake liner. One scone each and a sweet tier of two macaron, two thimbles of ice cream and a couple of stale petit fours, per person. There was also one tiny cake of some sort, which my friend ate and said it was “ok.” The food I have had with previous experiences was much better and more aligned with a true afternoon tea. It was explained that each tea included two small pots of tea, per person but, if we didn’t want to drink both pots there, we could take home a sachet of leaves. We opted for this and realized, after the fact, that we were charged an additional $4.95, for each sachet. Service was fine and the Inn is charming and lovely. This experience was disappointing and we won’t be returning.

Wonderful experience! We go every year as a tradition and are never disappointed! Looking forward to going again!

I attended afternoon tea which was fabulous. The Inn has a relaxing ambiance and the food was delicious! Everything was amazingly done.

Always a wonderful time here. The people who work here are so kind and fun! The food is unique and clever. The beauty of the building is unmatched! And of course, the tea is incredible

Great tea service, room quality and electricity can be improved.

I stumbled on the Silver Fountain Inn & Tea Parlor in 2022 and traveled from NC to visit. I had the most amazing time. The ambiance and hospitality was excellent. So excellent that I decided to return in 2025 with 12 members of my travel group, The Reminiscent Traveler Society for our annual Galentine's Getaway. The ladies were all blown away and cannot stop talking about this experience. Thank you so much Gayle for another great experience. We will definitely see you again.

My first experience at an Inn/ B&B. What a lovely place. Cozy rooms, delicious breakfast and friendly staff. I would highly recommend. Will definitely go back when up north again. Charming old home with all the comforts of home. The Halloween decorations were fantastic-and everywhere. Thank you Geri for your hospitality, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Food and drinks: Great breakfast and amazing tea selection. Scones were the best and is what they are known for so you must try one. You won’t be disappointed.

Afternoon tea was an exquisite experience! We were treated so very well, the food was delicious, the decor was lovely. Their tea list is huge plus there is a wine list. The price is very reasonable also.
