Having a tea party was great fun as a child, but grown up tea parties are even better with real phenomenal food and drink.
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.
