A table set with cups and saucers. A tiered tray displaying mini sandwiches, pastries, and sweets. A slightly steaming pot of tea being delicately poured, then mixed with cream and sugar. Afternoon tea isn’t just for the English, whose nineteenth century upper class started the ritual to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner. While it is not necessarily a daily custom anymore – certainly not in the US – you can find a handful of places in Rhode Island that offer the same lavish tea drinking experience.

Try Afternoon High Tea or Royalty High Tea at The Tree House Tavern & Bistro. The latter adds a glass of champagne or mimosa cocktail to the mix. Warwick
