MaryAnn’s Tea Room

Located in the Central West End of St. Louis is the posh and slightly kitschy MaryAnn’s Tea Room.  From the street you walk in through a little boutique which is the perfect place for the fashionista in you to stop and shop!  To get to the tea room, walk in and through the shop all the way to the back.…

The Steeping Room

There are two locations.  We visited the one in the Domain, a high-end outdoor shopping center in northwest Austin.

The Chocolate Biscuit

 It’s fun to try out new tea rooms and go have adventures in tea!  However, you do take your chances anytime you try a new place – and that’s part of the fun – but this was one of those times when our adventure went a little cattywampus. I went to Birmingham, Alabama recently and…
