Laura’s Tea Room, nestled at 105 N. Palmer Street in the charming historic downtown of Ridgeway, South Carolina, offers a delightful glimpse into both the past and present. Built circa 1911 by the Thomas family, this building once housed The Thomas Company—a staple mercantile for generations. Fast forward to 2007, and Carol Allen transformed this location into the beloved tea room and gift shop, paying homage to Laura Thomas, the last family member to operate the mercantile. Carol’s vision blossomed into a family-run enterprise, where generations worked side by side to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The legacy continued when Carol’s daughter, Kelly, returned from Ireland in 2020 with her husband Craig and their son Seamus. As…

Yes! Great atmosphere, great staff, delicious food. The vibes were immaculate and the menu was great. The hot tea menu alone was amazing—where else can you get snickerdoodle or birthday cake flavored hot tea?

Had a lovely time at Laura’s Tea Room! Making reservations and confirmation was a breeze. Parking was simple. And inside the place was very authentic. The downstairs cafe had so many options for food and desserts. But I booked for upstairs, tea for two. The ambiance was wonderful, food and selection of teas were delicious and all the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. There was even a waiting area with different hats you could borrow and cutouts for picture opportunities. Both upstairs and downstairs was packed but they had such a good rhythm that I didn’t feel neglected or rushed. I simply had a grand time and recommend this experience.

Beautiful set up! Loved the building, and how everything was laid out for pictures, etc. and Great service! The scone (small) and the soup were delicious. We just were not a fan of the tiers. The chicken salad was a tablespoon and tasted like canned chicken. Didn’t care for the Nutella on bread. And it was a very small amount. I have been to tea houses across many states and in the UK… so do understand the service. I would love to come back for the experience, just have a bad taste either the tiers.

If I could give 20 stars I would! Omg this is the absolute best high tea experience I have ever had! From the time I parked in the charming downtown to the time I entered into Laura’s, it was truly magical. The customer service was top notch, I mean seriously I have never had customer service so good. And the food??? YUM YUM YUM! Literally everything I had was amazing. They start you out with a lemonade and a pot of tea of their choosing, then you can pick your second pot of your choice. They then bring out one dish at a time until you receive your last portion which is the tiered tray of goodies.

This place is perfect for a solo adventure, girls day, bday celebrations, anniversaries etc. they have a vast selection of tea hats you can borrow to enhance your experience if you didn’t already come dressed for the occasion. You even get to pick out our own tea cup before being seated.

Once seated a young lady came by with a porcelain filled pitcher of hot water to rinse your tea cup out. I seriously cannot rave enough abt this place. They have a cafe downstairs if you don’t want to do the tea experience but whatever experience you choose you cannot leave without looking over their vast selection of teas you can purchase. I absolutely cannot wait to go back here!

This was our first time at Laura’s TeaRoom. The short version? Everything was perfect. We picked our own seating so we selected a spot away from others. The server, Pam was adorable, she had an awesome demeanor and was very attentive. The food came to us well prepared and very tasty.

Laura’s TeaRoom features a tearoom and a cafe area. The tearoom is on the upper level. On the way up there is a mezzanine landing, stop here and try on some delightful hats!! Get your picture taken with the King and King of England! This is truly a High tea experience!

On a scale of one to one hundred? Its a perfect score! We plan on returning soon

Went with family a few months ago and it was a nice experience with a quaint atmosphere. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. If you want great prepared tea or need tea supplies, this is the place to go. Check them out.
