Savannah Tea Room
| March 1, 2013 | Posted by Madeline @ Food, Fitness, and Family under Restaurants, Savannah |
I have professed my love for my Army family before here on the blog. When push comes to shove my Army family comes through. And it comes through for my friends. A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to celebrate Heather and Baby C at a baby shower in Savannah. Leslie Ann, Cassie, and I had fun coming up with a plan for the lady of honor and we decided to hit up the Savannah Tea Room for lunch. Bonus? It was a 4-day weekend so Chris watched Em 
The Savannah Tea Room is in downtown Savannah on Broughton Street. From the outside it doesn’t look like much but don’t let it fool you. Inside is a cute and quaint little store and restaurant. All of the lunches came with tea service, soup du jour, scone, and sweets.
The tea special of the day was the Emperor’s Bride. It has a base of Assam and Ceylon teas.Pineapple chunks and dried orange peel are added and it is enhanced with thistle petals and essence of quince and elder (source).
The soup du jour was potato and oh my goodness was it good! It was perfectly creamy with huge potato chunks. For my entry I got a ham and cheese quiche which was also delicious. We all nibbled on the included sweets but saved room for dessert.
After eating we headed outside for some dessert and presents! I had picked up cupcakes from Gigi’s Cupcakes over the weekend. I got us the following: birthday surprise, red velvet, midnight madness, and wedding cake.
Before the “sprinkle” for Heather, we sent out a message to her girlfriends and mom back home to include them in the fun. All of them sent Heather and Baby C a little something special. The girls and I had a ton of fun spoiling Heather with love and gifts 
Overall it was a perfect girls day. The Savannah Tea Room is a wonderful place to lunch with your ladies. I hope to take Em there when she’s a bit older and before we move again because it’s also a little girl’s perfect tea party! I am so thankful and blessed that I have such amazing girlfriends in my life I am now officially on “baby watch” for Baby C! She can make her appearance any day now and I am on hospital duty … WEE!!
Have you ever been to a tea room? What’s your favorite kind of tea?

This post literally made me go “awwww” through the entire thing! I adore the ‘sprinkle’ idea and it’s so sweet you included her girlfriends and mom long distance. I know it’s tough being military and away from family so kudos to you for making this time so special for the mama-to-be!

When I went to Savannah (only been once), it was for St Patty’s last year. I had a blast, but I’d love to go back some time to do more Savannah-like things, such as visit adorable tea rooms.
Happy Friday!

I’ve always wanted to go to a tea room! How sweet of you girls to make such a special shower for her when she’s away from her family. <3

I’ve never been to a tea room before, but it looks like you ladies had a great time! And I’ve never actually even heard of Emperor’s Bride but the name is really cool
My favorite tea is green tea – I’m kinda boring haha

What a fun baby shower idea! I went to my first tea room in Hawaii with my Australian military wife friends. They are big into tea.
I really enjoyed it though!

I’ve never been to a Tea Room, but it’s something that my mom would really like for all the women in our family to do together some day. Favorite tea would probably be green tea.
