I have been here at least twice over the last several years and it has always been a lovely and special experience. The tea and food are delicious and it’s a treat to try homemade dishes. Carrie is a wonderful person and explains the food as it’s served! The menu is themed for each month from my experience, which is a neat touch. I love the chocolate caramel and peach apricot black tea so much that my mom ordered me some recently. Camella’s even added in some tea samples!
Needless to say, I highly recommend Camella’s Remember When to anyone visiting Abingdon or NE TN/SW VA locals!

I can’t say enough positive things about Camella’s. It has brought so much joy to my life! The menu changes every month. The food is unique and delicious. Everything is thoughtfully displayed throughout the tea. I have had tea at many places throughout my life but no place has mastered the art of tea like Cary at Camella’s. It is very important that people make a reservation well in advance. Cary intricately prepares food items for each guest and runs the restaurant mostly by herself. She has mastered making scones that are layered to perfection and there are different flavors each month! Cary is a delightful person to be around and I have learned so much about tea each visit. Not only do I crave the delicious menu each month but I also look forward to time spent with sweet Cary. ❤️
PS- The lavender iced tea is a MUST.

Having afternoon tea at Camella’s Remember When Tea Parlor was a delightful experience and a highlight of a recent visit to Abingdon! (The negative reviewers obviously didn’t heed the rules.) First, you MUST make a reservation. If you wait until the week you are in town, Camella’s will probably be booked. At this, my first visit to Camella’s, I learned the owner and hostess, Carrie is basically a one-woman show. This means she will limit the number of guests that she serves. Carrie prepares the food, which today included a light salad, salmon mousse, as well as sweet cherry almond canapes, and delicious scones of three flavors.You must try the scones with Devonshire cream and jam! Finally, there was a lemon curd tart dessert. These palatable items are served on a lovely three-tiered tray. There is a menu of delectable teas from which to choose. I chose the chocolate caramel hot tea, and my friend chose the Lavender iced tea. We each had both teas. Note: Carrie is also the hostess, server, and dish washer. That means you will need to be patient, relaxed, and kind! Carrie was very informative and answered our many questions since we were both new to afternoon tea. However, after our visit to Camella’s Remember When today, we are now afternoon tea aficionados.

I wanted an authentic tea experience for Mother’s Day. It was a quaint tea room. The music and the atmosphere were relaxing and enjoyable. The service was awesome and the teas were exquisite. The scones were delicious with the cream and jam. I would definitely go back for more experience. The only thing was it was a little pricey.

Afternoon Tea fit for royalty! Food was wonderful. At a noon reservation, scones were still warm from the oven. All served with true southern charm and grace.

Place was beautiful, tea and food was great, and the lady was so kind and informative. I look forward to getting to go back. My birth month will be strawberry themed so I completely look forward to that. Eitherway, going here will probably be one of my best memories. Oh, also I bought some loose leaf tea. Getting to enjoy the flavor of chocolate caramel tea in the comfort of my own bed, it’s like the great experience continues.

Attended a private tea party with about 10 others at the beginning of December. The building is lovely and the tea service was beautiful. Delicious teas and treats! The owner gave gave us some interesting history on the building and helpful etiquette tips once we were all seated. Huge selection of loose teas! It was a truly lovely afternoon! Highly recommend!
