I want to let everyone know that Grammies Pantry was by far the best tea my sisters and I have ever been to. It was cozy, warm and friendly. My sisters and I were visiting our other sister who lives in Manlius, and she arranged for us to go to the Dickens Christmas Tea two weekends ago. It was the most delicious food we’ve ever experienced at any of the other teas we’ve been to. We felt like part of the family. The china and the surroundings were so homey, we have decided that this will be an annual event when we visit from the Phila. area. Thank you for your hospitality.
