My friend and I each had the Friday after the 4th of July off, so we decided to go on an Adventure.
NOTE- They are closed Thursdays and Sundays***
Open from 10-3 other days.
24 W Main Street Carrollton, OH 44615
This is a great almost 200 year old building, it was the former historic Western Exchange Hotel.
We talked to the owner and she said she is turning the upstairs rooms into a B&B- they hope to have that completed by the end of the year. And around the corner there is an ice cream shop.
The tea room is very fun and eclectic, it was so fun to look around at all the memorabilia. There were maybe 10-12 tables in the room.
One thing I truly loved was that they new how to make tea!!!!! I am shocked when I go to a tea room and people don't know how to make tea.
The Grand Tea rom, put the tea in a tea ball and brought you a timer. There was no loose leaf tea in the tea pot, so the tea did no over steep. And we were able to keep track with the timer. I loved that. I drank my entire pot of tea with no issues.
Everything was fun and unique, right down to the napkin rings.
The price was incredible too! I wish this place was closer. I got all this food for $17.95! This will be the next place I take my parents!
I got half a quiche- it was delicious!
I got to pick 3 sandwiches from the 5 that were listed. My only draw back is that they all come on a croissant- I would have like different kinds of breads, but they were still all delicious.
I also got half a scone- it was wonderful- I bought one to go.
I had a bowl of fresh fruit and a bowl of whipped cream and two cup cakes.
It was VERY FILLING and the price was incredible!
I ordered the egg salad, chicken salad, and cucumber sandwiches.
I would highly recommend this place! I would also suggest you make reservations ahead of time too. We came and there was only one table free. I was glad we called ahead.
They also had a wonderful selection of teas.
I did the Jasmine Pouchong tea. It was really nice and smooth. Pouchong is a lightly, semi-oxidized oolong tea.
The deserts looked good, but I just got a scone to go.
Here is the Carroll County Town Hall. I love these old buildings.
Carrollton has a lot of fun shops. We walked around and went in some. Everyone was so nice. It was a great town.
One shop asked us where we were from and when I said Orrville, he asked if I knew Justin Haslip. I said I did!! The man was very proud to tell me that Justin was from their town. I later shared this with Justin and he loved that story and he said he'd have to find out who it was.
We did the Paperworks Store, right beside the Van Horne, it was so cute. Then they also had a boutique up the street as well.
After lunch we did some antiquing...I purchased this adorable trash can that looks like a London telephone booth. And this cute tea set from the Downtown Alley.
I also got these two teapots from the Goodwill.
I took this picture to use as an example of a 4th of July garland to make! I purchased 5 red bandannas the other day at a Goodwill for .50 each, now I just need to get the denim.
