    My daughters and I had wanted to go to Silver Fountain Tea Parlor for the past two years around Mother’s Day, but couldn’t coordinate! We did this year, and it was the lovely experience that we expected. Beautiful day, with a table out on the porch, it was simply a delightful afternoon with my daughters.

    Such a lovely experience. The atmosphere is perfect with furnishings and decor that you'd expect in a historic inn, which it is. The service was attentive and helpful. We ordered the Dutchess. three tiers of treats, but our favorite item was the scone. They are the perfect accompaniment to the tea, and the tea selection is vast. Such a fun afternoon....can't wait to go back.

    Overall a great experience and we will definitely be returning! Only request is that the business disclose all ingredients in their teas. My wife is pregnant and had to not finish the tea she selected because she learned later that there was an ingredient that she should not have while pregnant.
