The women who helped us were very sweet and welcoming. The tea was so good, especially the passion fruit and apple cider. The food was delicious, they came out and explained each tier and answered any questions we had. 10/10 absolutely plan on coming again

My sister and I had a lovely experience at Sarah’s for my birthday just recently. We were greeted at the door by a sweet young lady who also helped us with our tea selections and who insured that we were having a fantastic time. The Paradiso Peach tea I chose was so delicious I drank my whole pot and my sister, who got the lavender lemonade tea, was similarly impressed with her choice. Every bite I took from the savory to the scones to the dessert was so yummy I almost asked for a recipe for each. Overall, we had an amazing experience and truly felt like ladies having afternoon tea. Thank you to the amazing ladies that we spoke to for making my birthday (and my first afternoon tea service!) feel very special. 💖

Wonderful experience and food during high tea. The place is nicely decorated and the food so good. The owner greeted us upon arrival and was very welcoming. The price for high tea was very reasonable. The servers were top notch. It is great to have this establishment in Sumter. If you’ve not had the experience of high tea you are missing out. Lunch is also offered at this lovely establishment.

I had my bridal shower at Sarah’s Southern Tea Room and it was perfect. The staff was so kind and attentive, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the food was delicious. My guests and I felt completely taken care of. I’m so glad I chose this place for such a special day. Highly recommend!

My friend and I hadn't seen each other in 20 years. We decided to come to Sarah's for our reunion. It was such a delight! We had Afternoon Tea. The food was delicious! Catina, explained everything to us! All the ladies in there were so friendly! Catina, the owner is very gracious and welcoming! We felt like family! We will definitely be back!
