This is a charming boutique-y place. Lots of lace and ruffles, though, so definitely a chick place. A friend once took me for my birthday and I have since taken several more people. The tea is referred to as "The Ceremony of Loveliness"... how girly! You select your own tea cup from a beautiful collection. You choose your tea. They serve a 3-tiered plate rack with scones, finger sandwiches and lovely desserts, such as flourless chocolate cake. The scones are wonderful and are served with lemon curd, devonshire cream (I think) and a berry jam. If you are hungry, they'll even bring seconds of the finger sandwiches. I will definitely be back. The folks that run it are very nice and service-oriented. Its casual, yet special. (Their web site needs help... it isn't well designed, but it gives you the basic info: http://www.abbeygardens.net/)
