You’ll Feel Like Royalty At The Most Enchanting Tea House In Buffalo

While it may seem as though coffee is the world's morning beverage of choice, tea is actually one of the most popular beverages in the world. It's second only to water! Even if you're not a tea lover, the tradition and ceremony that comes with an afternoon tea service can make an ordinary day feel like a special occasion. To turn your own drab day into something more, head to Asa Ransom House in Clarence for the experience of a lifetime. This adorable tea house near Buffalo will certainly make you feel like royalty.

The Asa Ransom House is a lovely inn and restaurant located about 30 minutes from downtown Buffalo.

The intricately detailed rooms make it a special place to spend a few nights.

But the afternoon tea service is a great way to experience the inn without an overnight stay. But, more than that, it's the best way to feel like royalty without ever leaving the Buffalo area.

The traditional tea takes place in the Ransom Room, which has floral wallpaper, a cozy fireplace, and beautiful and ornately set tables.

The first step of the 1 to 2 hour afternoon is... tea! You'll be offered your choice of Harney & Sons teas, along with hot water.

Once you've begun enjoying your tea, a tiered tray of scones, sandwiches and the table.

The sandwiches are a work of art and include things like cucumber, chicken salad and tuna. Dessert is cheesecake, chocolate cake, cookies, and fruit.

Once you've enjoyed your tea, you're free to explore the other public areas of the inn.

Spend the rest of the afternoon curled up beside the fire reading a good book and thinking up ways to join the royal family in England now that you've perfected the art of afternoon tea!
