Dining in Shreveport-Bossier: Louisiana's Other Side is as varied an experience as the destination itself. There is so much to choose from in and around the area. The historic Line Avenue Shopping District in Shreveport features many of today's popular chains, home-grown eateries and locally-owned shops such as the Glenwood Village Tea Room - known for its authentic British tea.
The experience starts the moment you enter the doors as you're greeted with an overwhelming collection of tea pots, jewelry, aromatic teas and a warm smile. Once you have gazed at all the offerings, sit and partake in the restaurant's array of entrees sure to satisfy a hearty appetite.
Glenwood Village Tea Room, which has been featured in Southern Living, Destinations Magazine, Fodor's Travel Guide to the South, and Travel Channel, offers an exceptional breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea at reasonable prices, and in a comfortable, yet refined environment.
The tearoom specializes in Victorian Era recipes dating from 1860 to 1903 and in the presentation of traditional afternoon, cream and high teas. You will find scrumptious items like crepes, gourmet sandwiches, specialty salads, desserts and of course a large assortment of teas and coffee. Even the most discriminating tastes will not be disappointed with any of the selections.
The tearoom houses four separate rooms - The Victorian, The Albert, The Tea Shoppe, and The Cottage. Each room is uniquely decorated with antique furniture, vintage accessories, and is perfectly arranged to provide a few hours of relaxation for both locals and tourists. Drink it all in while you are here...the ambience, the quiet, the beauty, and most importantly, the tea!
If you go the Glenwood Village Tea Room is located at 3310 Line Avenue in Shreveport. Also check out their website at www.glenwoodvillagetearoom.com or give them a call at (318)868-3652.
