Sweetest Things Tea Room - Athens

"The food and service at this restaurant are incredible! The staff is always so friendly and the food is amazing. I especially love the fruit tea, champagne chicken, cornbread salad, and feta spaghetti. I am never disappointed when I dine here. Please excuse the half-eaten crepe in my photo."

I love that my friend and I can go to this restaurant and enjoy amazing food. They have cozy booths that offer a lot of privacy, and their hot tea and desserts are fantastic. The home-cooked style of the food is a nice change of pace, and it is even better than traditional southern cooking. The dishes have their own unique twist that sets them apart. My favorite dishes are the champagne chicken, quiche, and the lemon and strawberry cake. Their citrus sweet tea is perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Everyone should make time to visit this place and I am thrilled that they have expanded to a larger location.

I recently enjoyed one of the most delicious meals of my life. The Champagne Chicken was cooked to perfection and was incredibly tender. The delicate noodles with truffle butter on the side were also amazing. I never wanted this meal to end because it was that delicious.

I had the garden salad for lunch. I originally wanted the beef, but it was sold out by lunchtime. My advice is to call ahead and order early if you have your heart set on a specific item from the menu! I enjoyed the salad. The only thing that could have been better is if they had a chef who actually cooked the dishes. They claim it's like the Tyson's type of salad with grilled chicken on top. The salad was large, which was a plus, with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons and I will definitely be returning.

My daughter's friend recommended this restaurant for their birthday cake. Upon arrival, I only saw a sign for takeaway orders. I peeked inside and made eye contact with someone, but sadly the staff seemed uninterested in serving customers. It seems they are not interested in gaining our business now or in the future.
