Coffee Cottage - Calabash

We did the Ultimate tea. Reservations are required. Please note that this restaurant is cash only! I was told that over the phone very clearly and was prepared, but we saw two families that weren't. They had to go, get cash, and come back. The place is cute--very frou-frou. Ultimate tea comes with a pot of tea for each person, a small salad and the tea tray. You can get a cup of soup for an upcharge. The price was noted over the phone both with and without soup. The tea tray had 5 savories, a scone, and 3 sweets per person. All food was handcrafted. The scones were amazing! Two of the 3 sweets were fruit and the other was a madelein. One fruit was a decadant double dipped strawberry. All the savories would be classified as finger sandwiches. It was all vegetarian friendly except the one topped with smoked salmon, which would still be pescatarian friendly. I used to work at a tea room myself. There are things I liked about this one better and things I liked about ours better. Prices were comparable, with this one being a little cheaper than ours. If you like Formal Tea, this is worth the trip. Make sure to make your reservations at least a week out.

This place is the best. Fantastic flavors and lovely service. Great decor and atmosphere

Fantastic assortment of flavors, and great prices. Service was friendly and excellent. Coffee could have been hotter temperature wise, but again flavor excellent. Cute little area with other small shops.

Best coffee around. Shhh. Don't let the secret out. So quaint and casual. And so delicious. We'd choose this over Starbucks any day.

This place is a real gem! The coffee and lattes are amazing. Also, the barista and manager( owner soon! are so so friendly.The beverages are so good that I went twice in one day!The coffee cake and apple fritter was delicious.We will stop by again when visiting the area!
