This is an adorable little tea/coffee shop locally owned and operated in downtown Charleston. Service was phenomenal, coffee was tasty and the atmosphere was top notch. 10/10 would recommend their pumpkin affagato (vanilla ice cream, homemade pumpkin syrup and espresso)

Visited today to have afternoon tea for the first time and had a great experience. The blueberry hibiscus tea was delicious, and all the food we were served was very good. Our favorite was the orange cardamom cake. We can’t wait to go back! 🫖
