Of the many Tea Rooms that the women in our family have gone to, over the years, this one was the best, by far. The perfect Tea Room experience. We had reservations for four and they were ready for us. They gave each table a time limit of an hour and a half in order to accommodate the ones with reservations after us. That was plenty of time to relax and enjoy without rushing.The food, and the staff, and the set-up, everything was Top-Notch. The food is unique and delicious...seems homemade. The selection of Teas is fantastic. The place has two rooms for use and both were full. We loved that they had had a selection of hats for those who wanted to wear one. They also have a nice selection of cute things to satisfy the shopping gene....including the different Teas. I will say that the web site does not do the place justice at all.

Absolutely gorgeous tea shop! The food was great; I especially LOVED the scones! So good! The experience was lovely! The sweet waitress found out it was for my sister's birthday so she came out with a cute cupcake with a candle! My sister loved it! I gave five stars because that's what it deserves! Would recommend to any lady who wants fancy high tea!

This was a totally unexpected surprise in the heart of Waynesboro! We have traveled to several tea houses around Asia, but nothing ever as delightful as this. This is a British style tea party including scones and dinner sandwiches. Bring your daughter and she will instantly up her tea party game! We will return again and again!

Overall we had a nice experience at this tea house. The tea selections were good. My only gripe was for the Queen tea it's not as much food/ treats that you normally get at other tea rooms. In fact it is just a 2 tier display. The ties on the cucumber sandwiches are cute.

A wise man once said that mandatory gratuity is for people who know their service is terrible. Such is the case here. $70 for two people to only get 3 tea flavors. Their prices went up but there were no improvements to the menu and the service has declined severely. Over half an hour at a time without being checked on. 20% mandatory gratuity on top of the (frankly ridiculous) price for the Queen Tea, but staff only checked on us without being flagged down one time. We were one of only 3 groups in the whole building so I don’t know what was so hard about coming by our table. I will not be coming back.

The Queen's tea was delicious. The Peach Bisque was really good. Loved that we were able to try different teas. The atmosphere was excellent. Quiet & peaceful with lovely tea sets adorning the rooms. And the servers were attentive & friendly.

Wonderful tea room! I take my mother here for special occasions, such as her birthday or Mothers Day. She loves it and I must admit I do too. The food is delicious and the service is always excellent. My daughter is now old enough to come, and she adores having a fancy tea party with the "grown-ups!" They do a great job of accommodating for her too.
I highly recommend this tea room and will be returning. Thanks Tranquilatea for providing such a wonderful experience in tiny Waynesboro!

I’m kicking myself for it making time to actually dine in the store, I will definitely be back for that experience. I did however buy some things from their shop. The attendants were so friendly and helpful.
I bought the almond cookie green tea, the lavender lemon herbal tea, and the pineapple upside down cake tea.
Wow!!! The latter is absolutely delicious.
I also had the almond cookie, just as equally yummy, and my cousin had the lavender lemon and told me it was wonderful.
They make excellent gifts and they also have an array of tea pots and tea cups with saucers to accompany the loose leaf tea.
Do not pass an opportunity to visit this adorable and special place. I can’t wait to visit again.
