I discovered The Tea Leaf completely “by accident” (thanks to Groupon!). I came up with the idea to meet a friend there that I had not seen in years. It was the best decision we ever made! You have to make a reservation ahead of time so the proprietress knows how many sandwiches AND scones to make (Yes, she makes them all HERSELF!!!). I tried the Strawberry Kiwi tea for the afternoon tea service, and I was in absolute heaven! I was so impressed that I decided to bring my mom here as her birthday present. My mother and I had the most wonderful time, and really enjoyed the whole experience. She loved it so much that the next day at work, she could not stop talking about how wonderful the experience was at The Tea Leaf. The owner is such a nice lady, too.
