Sweet Shalom Tea Room,

Originally an old Victorian style farmhouse restored to a place of
comfort and serenity. The most recent renovation is an English Library
that serves as their gift shop. They serve by reservation only on
Fridays and Saturdays at 11am and 2 pm. You will be greeted and served
by costumed waitresses who will escort you to a private table set with
linen, silver, stemware and china. You may choose as often as you like
from their extensive variety of teas. The theme, menu, decorations and
program are changed monthly. Reviewed by Penny Hashman
