Getting together with your friends for a fun afternoon out is a regular occasion in many places around the country. And going out to enjoy tea and a snack is a favorite activity. However, finding a bona fide South Carolina tea room just isn't an easy task. Here's one that's as close to a storybook as you'll get in the Palmetto State: Laura's Tea Room in Ridgeway, SC. Check it out!
Grab your girlfriends and get ready for a fun high tea adventure.
If you've never had a 'proper cup of tea,' then the first order of business is always finding the perfect hat to express your inner self during the experience.
Don't worry. When you have tea at Laura's Tea Room in Ridgeway, you quickly find out that costuming is one of the most enjoyable parts of getting started.
And there are plenty of hats and accessories to choose from! But if you'd rather take your own hat that best suits your taste in style, you can always find a good selection of fancy hats on Etsy.
Soon after, you and your friends will find yourself upstairs in the tea room.
With cups in hand and pinkies in the air, you'll be laughing it up and having a delightful time.
Of course, the delectable treats help as well.
You're going to want to come hungry! As you can see from these Laura's Tea Room photos, the food will be delicious.
If you decide to opt for something less calorie-laden, you can always choose a cup of soup and a salad with your tea.
Either way, at Laura's you'll be served on beautiful linens.
You may even get lucky enough to pair your whimsical hat...
... with an equally fun teapot just for this special occasion.
Laura's Tea Room is a great place to get together with the girls for an afternoon of bonding and togetherness.
And remember, dressing up and wearing vintage hats and clothing (if you like) is only half the fun!
Laura's Tea Room takes reservations and tea is served from Tuesday through Saturday between 10:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
We think you'll agree that this is one of the most whimsical places in South Carolina!
You will find Laura's Tea Room at 105 N Palmer St., Ridgeway, SC 29130. More information and great photos are available on the Laura's Tea Room Facebook page.
