Wild Plum Tea Room

$$

Enjoy an idyllic stream-side setting that's just right to sip the signature sweet tea (served sweet, either hot or cold). Savor the sherried tomato bisque, or sample creative salads like dill pea or arugula tossed with strawberries and feta with a citrus vinaigrette. The attentive staff is eager to make recommendations from the limited menu while you share a basket of warm wild-plum muffins.
