Top Hat Special-teas Inc - Florence

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and it was her first time there. She had a fantastic time! We ordered hot tea for the table, along with a chicken salad and a Welsh rarebit chicken salad served on a croissant. We also enjoyed some scones. Everything was delicious, and we had an amazing experience. Food: 5/5

This charming little restaurant offers incredible food. The pasta salad may be simple, but it’s absolutely delicious! The ham and cheese quiche is fantastic. I’ve visited three times now, and each time the service and food quality have been outstanding. The scones are absolutely divine! After enjoying one, I find myself thinking about it for the rest of the day, wishing I hadn’t eaten the entire thing so I could savor another.

My daughter gifted me a Victorian Tea for Mother's Day, and it was such a delightful experience! I’m really looking forward to bringing the amazing women in my life here for a special outing. Thank you, Sam, I love you! Rating: 5/5 for the food!

As for their menu items, I can't get enough of their shepherd's pie—it's divine! The teas are exceptional as well, with a great selection of both hot and iced varieties. I highly recommend the strawberry iced tea; it’s simply amazing! The presentation of both the food and drinks is beautiful, adding to the wonderful atmosphere that permeates the place. And let’s talk about the decor! It’s perfect for anyone from a little girl to an elderly woman. It makes me feel like a little lady in waiting, sipping my Earl Grey and gossiping about the charming new bachelor in town. The restaurant is filled with teacups and teapots that have unique themes, including one with a turtle on the lid that’s just the cutest thing! There are also delightful trinkets and fancy hats available for kids (or adults like me) to wear during special gatherings. The staff is incredibly kind, especially Lori, the owner. Having catered with them before, I can attest that their catering services are top-notch. The customer service is outstanding, and the desserts and dishes are served promptly. Everyone there is simply wonderful, and I love how I’ve grown alongside the business. If you’re looking for an elegant, relaxing, and beautifully enchanting experience, you must visit this place! (P.S. Lori, if you’re reading this, I may or may not have posted a TikTok story that went a bit viral about my period party that my mom threw for me here. If anyone mentions “the period TikTok,” I apologize— you definitely deserve a shout-out that isn’t related to that topic!)

My daughter and I often stop by for a quick meal after our medical appointments when we're in the area. We really love this place. The service and the menu have always been outstanding.
