Enjoyed our Afternoon tea with delectable tea sandwiches, scones and dessert. A fine selection of teas to choose from. Welcoming environment in a historic home. Will definitely re-visit.

A Bridal Tea for my granddaughter.. It was sheer perfection..Delicious tea and treats! The owner was so kind, informative and welcoming! I plan to enjoy tea there often in the future. It was a delightful and and wonderful afternoon! Go....TREAT YOURSELF and a friend.

Afternoon Tea fit for royalty! Food was wonderful. At a noon reservation, scones were still warm from the oven. All served with true southern charm and grace.

Place was beautiful, tea and food was great, and the lady was so kind and informative. I look forward to getting to go back. My birth month will be strawberry themed so I completely look forward to that. Eitherway, going here will probably be one of my best memories. Oh, also I bought some loose leaf tea. Getting to enjoy the flavor of chocolate caramel tea in the comfort of my own bed, it's like the great experience continues.

Amazing tea room experience!

It's not clear how to book a reservation as there are no details on the website for doing so. I walked in to inquire about the tea service and was treated as a nuisance. I will try again one day and will update this review should I actually find a way to have tea here.

This place is an absolute wonderful experience every time I go. She treats you like queen.

The ice cream was freezer burnt, the lavender tea was ok, nothing special. Second attempt at this place, second time disappointed. There is something very strange about this place. The vibe is off. Just go across the street to White Birch where the people, food, and vibes are great!
I wanted an authentic tea experience for Mother’s Day. It was a quaint tea room. The music and the atmosphere were relaxing and enjoyable. The service was awesome and the teas were exquisite. The scones were delicious with the cream and jam. I would definitely go back for more experience. The only thing was it was a little pricey.
Kid-friendliness: My daughter was treated with respect and the hostess loved that we were doing a Mother’s Day tea together, but I would recommend ages of 5 and up. No small children. There’s a lot of glass and seats are not small child friendly.

Having afternoon tea at Camella’s Remember When Tea Parlor was a delightful experience and a highlight of a recent visit to Abingdon! (The negative reviewers obviously didn’t heed the rules.) First, you MUST make a reservation. If you wait until the week you are in town, Camella’s will probably be booked. At this, my first visit to Camella’s, I learned the owner and hostess, Carrie is basically a one-woman show. This means she will limit the number of guests that she serves. Carrie prepares the food, which today included a light salad, salmon mousse, as well as sweet cherry almond canapes, and delicious scones of three flavors.You must try the scones with Devonshire cream and jam! Finally, there was a lemon curd tart dessert. These palatable items are served on a lovely three-tiered tray. There is a menu of delectable teas from which to choose. I chose the chocolate caramel hot tea, and my friend chose the Lavender iced tea. We each had both teas. Note: Carrie is also the hostess, server, and dish washer. That means you will need to be patient, relaxed, and kind! Carrie was very informative and answered our many questions since we were both new to afternoon tea. However, after our visit to Camella’s Remember When today, we are now afternoon tea aficionados.

The owner of this shop is very rude and demeaning. I came from Mountain city for the first time excited to try a new tea house. Sadly it was not to be, the hours posted were from 11-4pm and nothing was available, no tea, no ice cream and the owner behaved as if we were intruding and expecitng service and had interrupted her set up. The sweet young man who I believe was special needs told us that the tea room was not serving at this time and we had to make reservations but that their was a gift shop. The owner scolded him and us for looking into the tea room. I see that others have experienced this same behavior. Apparently you have to catch her on a good day to receive southern hospitality or even basic civility.

I have been here at least twice over the last several years and it has always been a lovely and special experience. The tea and food are delicious and it’s a treat to try homemade dishes. Carrie is a wonderful person and explains the food as it’s served! The menu is themed for each month from my experience, which is a neat touch. I love the chocolate caramel and peach apricot black tea so much that my mom ordered me some recently. Camella’s even added in some tea samples!Needless to say, I highly recommend Camella’s Remember When to anyone visiting Abingdon or NE TN/SW VA locals!

My husband brought me here as a valentines day surprise. And they weren't open when they said they were gonna be. We drove 1 hour here and decided to go somewhere else to eat. Came back throughAnd this time the door says open but we will be back in 30 minutes.. very disappointed ? ? will not come back and waste my time! Would have given 0 star if I had the option.
