The Ginger Room

I was excited to visit The Ginger Room to celebrate my husband's birthday. We've enjoyed afternoon tea at several other local establishments, as well as in London, and had high hopes for the experience. Unfortunately, we found afternoon tea at The Ginger Room to be underwhelming. The venue itself is charming and we appreciated the items on display straight from the UK (including gift boxes from Fortnum and Mason's). Our server, however, had very low energy and did little to ingratiate herself or enhance our experience. We were presented with the menu, were told that many of the items on the "savory" menu were not available, (for a moment we had considered switching to high tea...), and proceeded to order our selected teas. The tower of sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats was brought out at least TEN minutes BEFORE our tea which we found to be extremely disappointing. Our teapots were not filled, though when I inquired about that fact, I was told she would add more tea if requested. Though the sandwiches were tasty, the tower seemed skimpy compared to other afternoon teas we have enjoyed. They did surprise us with a slice of birthday cake which was a nice touch. Overall, I thi

What a lovely tea room! Great for intimate time or can accommodate small groups. Service was very personable and they have a nice selection of coffee, teas, brunch n desserts.

I was in Atlanta for another event but my friend has always wanted to go to a High Tea. I searched online and saw The Ginger Room had good reviews and they were so right. Everyone was so sweet and they took a lot of time and care explaining all of our options to us and answering any and all questions we had. The food was amazing - if you have a chance to try the Shepherd’s Pie I cannot recommend it enough. The scones + clotted cream and jams were also the best I’ve ever had. I saw some reviews saying the portions were small but I honestly felt the opposite. We were so full we couldn’t even finish it all between the two of us (they offer to-go containers though). We were there celebrating my friends birthday and we mentioned it offhand and they gave her a tiara to wear and a slice of cake with a birthday candle, it was so sweet and unexpected. I will absolutely go back if I’m ever in the Atlanta area again. Every part was so great and worth every penny.

Have been here a few times now, it’s a great spot for classic English high tea (or afternoon tea). Good to know— people get dressed up to go here. The owner is very involved and lovely to chat with. Scones and everything very delicious except for the clotted cream, which was butter, not clotted cream. Be sure to make a reservation in advance as they typically don’t take walk ins, and very important to show up on time as each table has a time limit of 1hr 30 mins in order to prepare for the next seating. Plenty of dedicated parking behind the building.

What a unique and pretty way to celebrate a girls day out. My friends surprised me for my birthday and we all felt like queens. We tried three different teas- mango smelt and tasted incredible, ginger and chai also equally delicious. The mini sandwiches were refreshing. The scones AMAZING. Pastries were so pretty and good.
