    We had a Wonderful experience at Silver Fountain Inn & Tea Parlor. It was a birthday celebration for my sister. I invited her best friend from infancy (they were 81 years young now) to join us. We had been here a couple of years ago and wanted to go back there again. We were greeted by our server, Gail, and shown to our lace tablecloth table. Deciding on which of the many teas offered was our biggest concern. Our Dutchess high tea was incredible. We throughly enjoyed the hot and steaming corn chowder and we could have stopped there! But no, we continued on with croissants filled with turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing, filled home made anadama bread, scones, cookies, gelato, petite fours and pumpkin Whoopie pies. There was no way we could eat all they provided. We were given a box or bag to take home those delicacies we had no room to eat there! All in all it was such a delightful day and I would highly recommend this establishment!

    We loved our tea and bites! Fun how they change up the offerings each month so it’s different every time we go, always delicious and a nice treat. So many teas to choose from too!

    We had a very enjoyable time. The pumpkin soup was amazing! The tea selections were extensive and the two tiered selections were very nice. Our servers were attentive and friendly. Quite a cozy way to pass a dreary afternoon.

    One of the best afternoon teas I’ve ever had. Lovely service, delightful setting, and very reasonable price. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back as they change the menu monthly.
