Akwaaba Tea Salon is within a beautiful, historic building that was easy to get to get to for us out-of-towners. Inside, the light shown through on us and the beautiful, historical images of beautiful people on the walls, as we sipped on delicious tea, scarfed down delicious salad and soup, and then plates of delicious sweets and savory treats. The warm and welcoming staff doted on us, ensuring we were comfortable and had what we needed, as our group enjoyed each other's company. To see the other guests, dressed to the nines, talking and laughing and engaging with each other added to the wonderful energy that we felt throughout the beautiful experience.
