When was the last time you enjoyed a good old-fashioned tea service? This has certainly been a strange year in Washington, but more and more businesses in our beautiful state are opening this summer. The charming Olive Branch Cafe and Tea Room in Tacoma is one of them, and we can’t think of a better place to get reacquainted to restaurant dining.

Inside you'll find a delightful dining room filled with antique furnishings and decorative details.
