When you order afternoon tea at the Whistling Kettle you get your choice of tea, soup or salad, a sandwich, and dessert. Everything is always top notch and plentiful.
While you are waiting for your meal a good way to whittle away the time is at the sniffing bar. There is a large selection of teas to sniff, and you might find one to take home with you.
I absolutely love the Whistling Kettle and never minded traveling to Ballston Spa to get there, but it makes my tea party so much sweeter that I can just hop across the river to their new location in Troy!
I have yet to try it out, thanks for the heads up though I really like the ambiance of the Ballston Spa location.
I went to the Troy location a few weeks after it opened. It wasnt at all what I anticipated. Its much more well lit, less hipster, and more mainstream than I thought. I like it, but its not what I thought it would be.
