Sugarplums & Tea

 We were surprised to find Sugarplums Tea housed in such a stately building located in a fairly residential area in Lancaster, PA.   An easy one hour drive from our home town, thanks to a handy dandy GPS, we arrived precisely at our destination after twisting and turning about a few country roads.
Another part of the birthday week/month celebrations, the family gathered together for tea. 
Even the Old Boy joined us for the journey, much to everyone's delight.
This tea room was perfect for the wide range of ages in our group, 8 - 89.  Almost on the verge of being more a restaurant than a tea room, everyone had the option to order off the menu.  Cedar was eager to order the sliders (mini hamburgers) while dear old Dad requested the fish & chips.

We ordered the three tiered tea tray which included a choice of fruit and scones OR soup and bread (shown on the top tier).  The middle tier, with an assortment of hearty sandwiches included chicken salad on Hawaiian bread, chicken kabob with teriyaki sauce, ham and cheese encroute, and spinach & cheese melt in petite phyllo cups.














The dessert tray included a trio of sweets that featured a peanut butter chocolate mini parfait, a sponge cake, and a truffle in a petite chocolate cup.

As for the tea, loose leaf in T-Sacs, Susanna sampled the Peach gingerand Nancy requested Ti kuan yin;
or, if you prefer, milkshakes were an option also. 
This tea room pleased everyone in our group.
