It was my first time here and I had a wonderful experience! The staff was very helpful without being overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious! The tea was the cherry on top! You get your own teapot with loose leaf tea and enough to have about 4 cups. I love tea so this was divine! I picked up their book in the shop "The Way of Tea and Justice" by Becca Stevens (the founder) and I'm looking forward to reading it. I cannot wait to come back and invite others to enjoy this place with me!

My go-to place to take guests from out of town. Excellent food, excellent ambience, convenient location of the interstate. The hosts and hostesses are so personable, and what's better than a cafe experience that serves a cause? An all around feel-good experience for the heart, body, and mind.

Beautiful location and beautiful message. We did a private tea party which was comfy and cozy. We were informed that our profits will go to victims of human trafficking which warmed our hearts . Message of "love heals" everywhere. Truly a beautiful place with DELICIOUS food in the vegetarian platter and to die for teas. I can't recommend it enough.

Rating for the High Tea experience only.

I love both the mission and design of the Cafe, and wanted to rave over the tea service, but I cannot. I booked a tea service on a Saturday for the latest time slot. My first mistake. The store offers tea times while the cafe is closing on Saturdays, leading to awkward stares from kitchen staff, chairs stacking, cleaning in the adjoining room and your room, hurried clearing of plates, etc. We actually had to grab items off our plates to save them to go.

The service was mediocre at best. I was let down over all at the choice of tea, and limitations of 2 pots of tea per table 3 people. Some of us cannot drink caffeine, so it limited our selection even further; there were 3 choices per category of tea, and I think only 3 categories. One can find more tea selection at a pub in Gatlinburg. The food was ok, the redeeming sandwich was pimento cheese. I wished for a much better experience for my two friends having a tea service for the first time. Next time, I will go for a tea or coffee only.

I stopped in as it was on my way and the menu looked great. I learned while there that the restaurant operates on a mission to support women towards hope of a new tomorrow. The food is wonderful and there is a shop attached. I was very moved by this visionary business which this post does not do justice to. Please read the “about” on the website to learn more. The restaurant was busy on a Friday at lunch time but staff was helpful and food arrived in a reasonable time. I had the chicken salad croissant which was amazing. Sadly they ran out of lemonade which tells me it is great. Definitely check this place out!

What a delightful lunch/brunch place with a great store full of natural and handmade products. I had the herbed chicken salad sandwich which was fantastic and fresh. The whole menu looked phenomenal. I will go back when I visit Nashville!

My mom and I really enjoyed this place a ton!
When we came here for the first time, we were truly inspired by the stories of the powerful people who are making an impact in the world.

I would definitely recommend this place for people who want to find someplace nice to go...!

P.S. The tea service is wonderful and very, VERY charming...
