Owned by Savannah College of Art and Design
It is staffed by students, which might explain
the slightly slow service.
But that allows for a more relaxed visit.
A photo friendly place.

We came for the tea and a chance to get a few
interior shots and also a break from footing
it through the historic district.
The passion fruit tea was excellent.
