Some things never go out of style and there’s still a delicious pleasure in sipping a cup of tea while catching up with a friend. It doesn’t hurt when the tea comes with lavish treats and a side of champagne. Visit these local spots for the perfect setting to both drink and spill the tea. [🍷: there are alcoholic beverages offerings]

Bonus:
Where: Newburyport
Info: This lavishly decorated all-pink tea room only hosts teas once a month (and it sells out fast) but it’s worth the wait. Did we mention tickets include an open champagne bar? We’re swooning.
