Crema's Take

Tucked away in Charleston, this charming tea house excels at creating intimate moments, whether you're lingering over specialty loose-leaf teas at their 3pm service or gathering for a milestone celebration with friends and family. The cozy, elegant space pairs beautifully crafted traditional drinks with delicious pastries and light brunch fare, and the attentive staff—especially the owner—genuinely make guests feel celebrated and cared for. It's the kind of place that transforms an ordinary coffee run into a memorable experience, one thoughtfully prepared cup at a time.

Cute little spot! The food was delicious. Thought I made reservations for afternoon tea but realized they only do it at 3:00pm. Still went for lunch and was not disappointed. Highly recommend!

We hosted a Bridal Tea Party at East Bay Meeting House for my sister the day before her wedding and it was perfect. We coordinated with Kim in advance and she made everything so easy and smooth to plan. They worked with the dietary restrictions in our group to be sure everyone could enjoy! The list of tea selections was long and fabulous! The food was presented in such a lovely manner and everything tasted delicious. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. I would recommend East Bay Meeting House for a casual meal or fancy life celebration!

Loved our brunch! We were walking by and decided to pop in on Sunday afternoon. We were seated at a table for 2 inside since it was rainy. The space is cozy/intimate. We ordered a salmon eggs Benedict and salmon bagel for brunch. Food was delicious and the portions were reasonable. We also ordered the lemon cake slice dessert and it was so good we wanted to go back Monday to take a slice home. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, otherwise we would have! Staff was friendly and helpful throughout. Will recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Cozy little spot for coffee, tea, tapas or a drink. We reserved a table for Tea time at 3pm. Adorable selection of teas, mini sandwiches and desserts. They took care of us and made my birthday feel special! Will definitely return!

We had the most fabulous baby shower! This is such a charming venue with attentive staff and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed working with the owner to plan the event. She made it easy. The decor was charming and the food and presentation was top notch. I highly recommend supporting this locally owned, small business.
