My mom, daughter, and I had the nicest time at the tea at Camellia's. Our service was wonderful, the setting was beautiful, with so many beautiful details. The tea selection was great, and the food was all lovely. I think this is appropriate for all ages, as I saw kids as small as 5 up to grandmothers in their 90's. What a lovely experience!

Camellia’s was the perfect place to host my birthday tea for 6. The atmosphere is elevated, the food is delicious, and the tea variety is flavorful. The service was excellent and the photos turned out beautifully. I also had my bridal shower here 2 years ago and it was equally as magical.

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
