"Enter As Our Guest, Leave As Our Friend!"
“Welcome! Please come in and join us for some tea!” This was the first thing I heard as I entered The Village Teahouse. Wow I thought, this restaurant was so beautiful!
I had the opportunity to sit down with Meg Shaffer, owner of The Village Teahouse. It was wonderful learning about her past businesses which has lead her to open up and run a amazing Teahouse! Grab a cup of tea and enjoy this lovely piece about The Village Teahouse!
