Customer testimonial

The McCoy girls are sisters who come together once each year to celebrate just being sisters. We meet in a different location and spend our time enjoying the sights. We have a special meal in a quaint local restaurant to add to the excitement of our time together. In 2008 we met in Clarksville, GA and pre-arranged our special meat at the Baron York Tea Room Cafe. Every detail was cared for in exquisitely grand style by owner Dea Irby. The lovely tea room was filled with Victorian lace and beautifully designed tea cups and servers. Our meal was not only tasteful, but the presentation was amazing and served with grace and charm. The house tea, a delicious blend that Dea developed, is a taste that makes us want to go back again and again. We highly recommend the Baron York to everyone...... (more) you do not need to be a coinsure of tea to fall in love with one of Clarksville, GA's most attractive and delightful restaurants. The beauty of the tea room is enhanced by the views of the city and the pleasure of the host and her staff. Please do not go anywhere nearnorth Georgia without taking a break at the Baron York... tell them The McCoy Girls sent you.

Customer testimonial

This has been the most wonderful tearoom I've been to in a while. My girlfriends and I try out a new tearoom every month or so. We found this one via Teamap.com and absolutely fell in love with it. The food was outstanding and service was not only good but delightful. I loved the chicken salad sandwiches. Whether having a 'high tea' menu or directly off the regular menu, the food was delicious. Some of us had the Queen's tea while another ordered off the menu. We were all totally satisfied. Definitely will be back especially if she does another 'Titanic' party.
