    Afternoon tea at Camellias was a dream! The decor is stunning, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating—especially with our guest of honor’s severe citrus allergy. They ensured everyone had a safe and special experience. The tea selection was lovely, and the food was both beautiful and delicious. A perfect, elegant outing in Charleston—we can’t wait to return!

    Mother's Day event was amazing. Wonderful service and atmosphere. As an adult, loved the variety of food but perhaps less appealing for children. Tea selections were nice
