Treated myself to a little afternoon tea here and it was so cute! The tea sandwiches could have been a bit fresher, but I would recommend the Paris tea. Lots of cool history and LOVED the interior. I would visit again. Nice work SCAD students!

Loved Gryphon! Gryphon is such a cool spot—classy but super cozy. It’s in an old apothecary, and they kept the original drawers, which gives it a really unique vibe. We went for brunch and tea time, and everything was amazing. The tea, scones, and sweets were perfect, and the specialty drinks were just as good. The atmosphere was awesome, and I love that the staff are SCAD students—it felt great supporting them while enjoying such a great experience. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

We had an enchanting experience at the Gryphon Tea Room. We came here with our mothers! Our server (a SCAD student) was passionate about the history of the building which inspired and intrigued us to learn more about this beautifully restored 1920s pharmacy. Our server legitimately cared about us enjoying a memorable experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I deeply appreciated the Southern charm with stunning detailed stained-glass windows, full bookshelves, and a an AUTHENTIC high tea experience! This included warm delicious scones with homemade cream, made to traditional tea perfection cucumber sandwiches, and a variety of high quality pastries. The tea selection is quite comprehensive. We enjoyed many flavors including flutterfly bush tea with lavender, vanilla, peach and traditional earl grey were among our selections. All of these tea flavors were phenomenal. This is a great experience for traditional tea or for lunch, and a must when in Savannah!

This was the absolute highlight of our trip. Griffin tea room was adorably historically maintained, including stained glass from the original pharmacy that the building was at one point. The server was very polite, the tea was delicious, we ordered three different types. Little desserts were all delicious, and the lunch was fabulous although very carb heavy. Great presentation, excellent atmosphere, would definitely come back. Highly recommend making a reservation

What an amazing experience! I have to add that this place is gorgeous! The service was great and our food was delicious. I got the Atlanta peach to drink and it’s something I still think about, the pungent peach flavor really stuck with me. For my entree I got the marinated salmon, I basically scrapped the plate clean, it was that good! I also got the chocolate hazelnut scone, I found it to be a bit dry and too crumby, but the flavor was good. Regardless, I will have to come back to try the full tea service! Bravo to the students working at this amazing restaurant, you are representing Savannah well!

I had an absolutely delightful experience at the Gryphon Tea Room in Savannah, GA! Housed in a beautifully restored 1920s pharmacy, the ambiance is pure Southern charm with stunning stained-glass windows, mahogany bookshelves, and a cozy, vintage vibe. The high tea service was impeccable—warm orange blossom scones with mock Devonshire cream, melt-in-your-mouth cucumber sandwiches, and an array of decadent pastries that were as delicious as they were beautiful. The tea selection, featuring Harney & Sons, was delightful, with our server offering thoughtful recommendations. Speaking of service, the SCAD students who run the place were attentive, friendly, and added a unique, youthful energy. It’s clear they take pride in creating a memorable experience. Whether you’re a tea lover or just looking for a special lunch spot, Gryphon is a must-visit gem in Savannah’s historic district! I can’t wait to return.

This place is amazing...all of it! The ambience is fantastic! The service is first rate and the food...perfection! If you want a perfect day out...include Gryphon in your itinerary! We easily found street parking. Our server included the history of the building which was really cool and when they brought the check it was in a book we could write in. There are a lot of special touches here.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t dream about the experience here the night after. The food was heavenly and the tea brewed perfectly. The atmosphere and history of the place felt like you were stepping back in time. The large doors were wide open, while horse drawn carriages passed by from time to time, as I sipped my tea and read from the many books lining their mahogany shelves walls. If you are looking for an amazing date idea to surprise your loved ones, this is the #1 spot to go!
