Have you been to The Secret Garden Tea Room in Sumner? What a great find! My aunt dragged us there on Saturday afternoon. We tried to talk her into meeting us at Kent Station so we could sneak in some shopping at Ann Taylor but she insisted that we head to Sumner. I'm so glad. This historic home is the site of the much beloved Secret Garden Tea Room which was at Factoria Square for 15 years. While you need to make reservations to get an official High Tea served complete with cucumber sandwiches, we had an excellent lunch and still got in on the scones and tea for dessert. Don't miss the Orzo Pea salad and the chilled gazpacho I had was excellent on the hot day we were there. Come early so you have time to hang around in the lovely, shaded gardens. Secret Garden Gift Shop and Tea Room 1711 Elm St. E. Sumner (253) 826-4479
