Chelsea's On Thornton

Love visiting this place. We go every year for their high tea. The food is to die for and everyone is so friendly.

Beautiful Tea Room. My cousin and I went this past Summer. It was a great experience. The tea and food was top notch. We look forward to going again soon.

We booked high tea in celebration of a birthday. Every detail was exceptional. My aunt and I love to seek out places for tea and Chelsea’s on Thornton’s served the best food. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys tea and ambiance. You will need to make reservations for high tea at least two days in advance.

This tea room is owned by a wonderful couple! Their expertise on difference teas is only seconded by their amazing hospitality. The food was delicious (over the moon for the scones!) and the the tiered serve left you feeling as full if not more than a meal would. Love the decor and the perfect place for groups to gather. So happy we made the long trip out there, and this place is worth the experience. As an added bonus we also were given a quick class in napkin folding so the could decor our own table at home. My girls love it!!!

Today was my first time visiting and I can say it was a great experience. The highlight of my lunch was the hot tea I tried. They have a variety to chose from. I went for an herbal tea. Tank you Chelsea's for your amazing establishment. I highly recommend their tea and what they got to offer. I had a seasonal salad for brunch. It was fulfilling.

This is a 5 star restaurant in a cozy little town, be aware that this restaurant serves tete-a-tete, small plates of food, prices for each serving are perfectly priced

Love this place. Food and service never disappoint. I had the corn chowder. It's so worth the calories. It's very quiet and reserved but such a lovely place. It's absolutely a must try place if you have never been.

I love the sampler plater because I want it all. Thank you!

I've been to Chelsea's many times and the food and service has always been top notch. I love the setting, Ralph gave us a history of the house which was fascinating and included a little ghost story (it was a Confederate hospital for a short time). There are over 30 different kinds of teas to choose from. You will not be disappointed! The food is what could be described as a light Luncheon. It is comprised of soups, sandwiches, and salads. The desserts are also very flavorful and delicious. So far we have had their strawberry cake, key lime cake and cherry cobbler with ice cream. The dining rooms are not too crowded and are warm and inviting.We have also been served on the porch during nice weather. While there we enjoyed hearing the noon time bells from the Church across the street. Another Chelsea's experience is the Traditional Teas held on holidays. We went to the Christmas Tea and had an entire 3 tiered tray full of tea time confections and savories. We ate every morsel and every bite was a delight. You need a reservation for the holiday traditional teas and it may help to call ahead and make a reservation on weekdays at lunch time to insure a table upon your arrival.

I went with my Mother-in-law, my niece and my two sisters-in-law for high tea. We also had two infants with us. They were visiting from out of town and we wanted to try it for the experience. Before visiting Chelsea's, I wasn't much of a tea drinker. What I learned is a good quality tea makes a world of difference! I've been craving their blood orange tea ever since our visit. The food looked dainty, but at the end of the meal I was satisfied. I wouldn't go in expecting a heavy over filling meal, but there was plenty of food to satisfy each of us. Everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The owners were accommodating and friendly. The price is similar to a lunch out. It's a flat rate for each person and included tax&gratuity. I would absolutely recommend trying it. I look forward to going back!

Excellent service and atmosphere! We wanted to take our daughter to a real tea party and we got exactly that! The food was exceptional and the tea, hot and delicious! 10/10 would recommend and will be back soon!

Awesome!! We had a baby shower here and it was so perfect!! We had called around Dalton, Calhoun and even Cartersville to no avail. I called and spoke to Ms. Dottie and knew it was a perfect match. I was calling from Savannah so it was sight unseen. It was the best. She listened to me, she was thoughtful and handled everything! Above and beyond! And the food was delicious!! I feel like Ms. Dottie and her husband are family now!

Service was great, owners are very friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious, just enough and the dessert (chocolate brownie w/frozen toping) was to die for. Enjoyed very much, will be back.

Love Chelsea’s tea room! Lovely decor! Great service!! Great food! Best pimento cheese. 🌷

A great place for a special lunch. They have a Huge selection of loose tea and the service was fantastic. The chicken salad with fruit is very tasty.

I enjoyed so much. I learned how to properly fix & drink my hot tea. So good. Food fanastic! When town I will make my reservations for sure.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We enjoyed our visit immensely. Would recommend without reservation.

Loved the high tea, great service, food and atmosphere highly recommend

Love Chelsea's! Go here every chance I get! Great food, great atmosphere and Ralph and Dottie are the best!

Such a fantastic place to enjoy a cup of tea and a wonderful lunch. I love the atmosphere and the kindness of the owners.
