A fun tea room experience. The service was great and the selection of tea was top-tier. It is a cute little café. This is expensive so it is for special occasions only. read more

*Afternoon Tea Review* I stopped in recently with my best friend and her young daughter and niece to enjoy the Knightsville Cafe's new afternoon tea service one recent SUnday morning. During our visit, we were warmly greeted by the owner. We were a tad early so they weren't quite ready for our group (which was totally ok) so we were able to spend some time perusing their locally made items for sale. After being seated for our service we enjoyed a lovely next two hours sipping on a variety of teas (I went with a delicious Chai) and devouring the assortment of savory and sweet treats prepared for us. You don't realize quite how much food it is at first until you start nearing the top dessert tier and no one at our table was able to finish all the tea sandwiches, scones, and pastries. . :) Hands down my favorite item were the tomato tarts....if the general store were to sell these by the dozen on their own - they would be taking a good chunk of my paycheck every time I was nearby. If you're looking for a lovely afternoon treat, I definitely recommend visiting Knightsville General Store for their new afternoon service (reservations needed in advance!) read more

This is a review for the new Macaron (Charleston Mac Mama) located inside Knightsville general store Sun-Tues. Had the Dubai chocolate macaron which was so wonderful, and a variety pack of 6 others. All were wonderful. Also grabbed a chocolate cupcake. Such a cute little spot, friendly service. Outdoor seating area would be great for spring and summer. read more

We had gathering for our monthly ladies meeting and birthday tea party at this place. The place was so cute and full of tea platter decor on the wall. It requires reservation for the tea party and or luncheon. The sandwiches were great and the tea selections were abundant. I recommend this place for mother-daughter's day date or even lunch with some girlfriends. Love it! read more

Charming country tearoom with delicious scones. Food is quite tasty with good proportions. Reasonable selection of Harney & Sons teas, although loose leaf selections are limited. Staff has warm southern hospitality and they do a significant takeaway business as well. Definitely check it out if you are in the area! read more

Afternoon Tea #96 Knightsville Tea Room I'm no culinary expert, however, because I've experienced 96 Afternoon Teas across England, The United States and Canada, I do feel like I am I qualified to know what makes an afternoon tea extra special. Our experience today was lovely. From the moment we stepped in the door, we were greeted with friendliness and southern charm. The Menu: Savories: Tomato Tart, Chicken Salad Croissant, Shaved Roast Beef and Cucumber Scones: Blueberry Scone and Orange Cranberry Scone Clotted Cream and Strawberry Jam Sweets: Salted Caramel Brownie, Raspberry Cake, Almond Tart Tomato Tart: delicious, crispy outer pastry, creamy, melt in your mouth filling 10/10 rank. Chicken Salad Croissant: (a house specialty) well mixed, packed with flavor and red grapes. The croissant was soft and pillowy. 10/10 rank. Cucumber: soft, springy white bread, not a smidgen of staleness anywhere 9.5/10 rank (could have used a slightly thicker slice of cucumber). Shaved roast beef: meaty, juicy, tender texture, shaved perfectly, not too thin, and not too thick, so that, a lady, could take a dainty bite, and not have a roast beef tug of war with her teeth. The bun was light and airy and the horseradish spread was delicately seasoned with just a kiss of horseradish. Not over powering. Simple perfection in a few bites. 10/10 rank. ...let me tell you now... this was one of the absolute best savory tiers we have ever enjoyed in all 96 Afternoon Teas. Scones in The United States are NOT the same as England. They just aren't. With that said, these scones were some of the best "Americanized" scones we've tried. Good texture, not too crumbly. Each one boasted a surplus of fruit and flavors. The "cream" was housemade clotted cream. The strawberry jam was very natural tasting in strawberry flavor and not too sweet. Scones 7/10 Clotted Cream 6.5/10 Jam 8/10 News Flash: American Afternoon Teas sometimes, (actually, almost always) skimp on the savories and overdo the number of sweets. It is quite disheartening for a sweet tier option to take away from the experience rather than enhance it. The Brownie: fudgy, and delightfully not too sweet. The caramel was almost maple like in flavor and complimented the whipped cream and gooey fudgy chocolate center. Brownies are not what I would look for in an afternoon tea, but that is just personal preference. Too heavy of a choice, in my opinion. Afternoon Tea sweets are typically light and airy and refreshing after your "meal" of savories and scones. 6/10 rank The Raspberry Cake looked elegant in presentation. I was expecting a crisp, shortbread, type of crust, as found in many afternoon tea pastry options, instead it was quite dense, with thick sugar cookie like sides and a bit of a gummy middle. The raspberry on top was fresh and bursting with raspberry flavor. The cream like/jam center was not custard but not whipped cream. I did eat the inside but did not eat the cake/cookie like crust. It was too sweet and too heavy of a choice. Maybe the jam filling made the bottom a bit soggy. 4.5/10 rank The Almond Tart was... SUBLIME! Like a Golden Joconde sponge. The almond flavor was vibrant and fragrant and scrumptious like marzipan. The sponge texture was light, bouncy and had a drizzle of almond simple syrup that lingered on your fingertips and of course, made you lick your fingers for every delectable bit. This sweet option was by far, my absolute favorite of the sweets. Refreshing. Light. Just the way a sweet should be. 10/10 rank We devoured pretty much everything which is a good indication of how delicious everything was. You will not leave hungry! Our tea server, Linda, was charming as well and so attentive. I should have asked if I could take her photo as her smile added so much JOY to the experience. Lovely soft music was playing in the background. Knightsville might be an outlying area of Summerville, a little off the beaten path, but visiting is positively worth the drive. I honestly can't say enough good things about the owner Lisa, (darling hostess) the entire staff, and the whole Afternoon Tea experience. To me, the highest test and ranking of all, is this, ... would you come back? ABSOLUTELY, without a doubt!! If you have been thinking about visiting the Knightsville Tea Room but was unsure what to expect, or maybe you thought, how can a small tea room, out in the country, begin to compare with downtown afternoon tea venues, trust a seasoned afternoon tea snob when I say, BOOK NOW!! You will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped by on a whim, looking for a spot to grab something small and chat awhile. Bullseye! The Cafe is in a house, and so its ambiance is homey and intimate. In the main room you order food and drinks, and then as you wander about to choose where you want to sit you find cozy niches by the window, a further room with several tables and chairs, a Hershey's branded ice cream room with plenty of flavors, and a broad front porch lined with rockers. Each room has unique items for sale befitting a General Store, and we picked up several as gifts. I ordered their signature hot dog, and it was as good as described - a loaded, fat premium frank that hit the spot. My wife had the Mac and cheese, which was tasty and cheesy without being overly heavy. All our food was brought to the spot we had chosen in the dining room by the fireplace. Our waiter was the owner, and when he brought our food to table we had a chance to chat and learn his story (see their webpage for details). The whole vibe was relaxed and easy, We'll be stopping in again - you should too. read more

Last night, six of my friends and I had the candlelight tea at Knightsville Tea House. The food and tea service was delicious. They had wonderful selections in their gift shop section for some gifts for friends, and the decorations were beautiful and so festive for the holidays. My friends and I felt pampered and had lots of time to catch up with each other as we enjoyed the marvelous food and teas that were served to us. You can't go wrong with an outing here. Make sure to stop in. Make a reservation for you and your friends to have an experience you won't soon forget, with this Candlelight Tea Service. read more

While only open Thurs-Sat the owners & operators are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! It's a cute little store with hand dipped Ice Cream, coffee drinks, pasties, popcorn, & a lunch-style menu that varies a bit depending on the day. They sell a selection of food products, including home made "take & bake" frozen meals, & nick-knacks from local vendors in a charming, welcoming atmosphere. Relax in a rocker on the front porch or play with the kids in the front yard! read more

Great place for a coffee and small bite. We love to sit outside on porch. Inside cozy also.

Love the frappes and overall a great family place! My wife loves the teas and the kids love the ice cream. Can't go wrong with the bakery selection either! read more

Great service and food. Family owned with space outside for the kids to play. Bought some candles too that smell yummy.

Besides the fact that their ice cream is delicious, the owners are so kind and personable, I've always had a pleasant experience when coming in! read more

When May 14th, 2020 at approximately 1206 hours I, Dante G., responded to the Knightsville General Store and Country Cafe located at 1700 Central Avenue, which is in the unincorporated jurisdiction of Dorchester County and state if South Carolina, in reference to a chronocide. I was in route to another missing and had some time to kill. I turned into the business and parked on the B-side in the gravel lot. I entered the door located on the same side. I entered the business and was greeted by an unknown female white, apparently the owner. We spoke briefly as I perused her wares. I observed some products for sale, specifically Warrant Man hot sauces; Billy's Blast rub, and Black Rifle Coffee Company coffee. The business also offers ice cream head acceptable selection. Mint chocolate chip, Superman, and the like. The business produces family style to-go meals. Items that are meant to be purchased and then baked at home. The business smelled wonderfully of what I identified as a pasta product, possibly lasagna. No photographs, but definitely a location that bears additional investigation. End of Report. read more

We LOVE this place!!! Ice cream is 10/10, delicious lavender lattes and it's the only place I know of around here to find one. It's so cute and quaint inside. Service is always very friendly and the owners are super nice. Not woke and it's wonderful! Love the prices!! read more

My husband and I visited this sweet little business this afternoon at the recommendation of a neighbor. The owners Randy and Lori were very kind and visited with us for a short time and gave us a tour of their business and everything that they offer. The front of the store is filled with country decor reminiscent of a farmhouse like Chip and Joanne Gaines from Fixer upper on HGTV. The decor is actually from a consignment store so you can buy it if you like it. There is also local goods for sale like soaps, Jams and jellies. There is also an old fashioned ice cream counter and penny candy. They have a big room with large tables and small tables with board games and free WIFI. Hidden in the back is another little room for private tea party's decorated like an old English manor complete with lace table cloths and hats to wear to your party (I wish I had a daughter!!!) The Building itself is an old home from the 1930s that is so cozy and full of southern charm complete with a big wrap around porch full of rocking chairs. They serve pastries, cookies, breakfast and lunch foods. They also sell Black Rifle coffee which is made by and supports veterans so that's a win win. This is local family owned and operated. They don't get a ton of foot traffic and rely on locals and word of mouth for their business. If you're looking for a place that's personable, warm and welcoming, this is it! read more

Absolutely love this store! They have great events for families, like todays event the Easter Bunny. The store has adorable rooms you can rent for tea parties, Lori the owner was fantastic. I spoke with her about bringing my Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies. Not only was she sweet about helping. Me figure out the details but she offered us a discount. The ice cream parlor inside the store was a huge hit among the kiddos, they couldn't wait to get more. Stop by and enjoy an old fashioned store where they care and believe in customer service! We'll be back soon! read more

This little gem is so unique. I love the cozy atmosphere and the friendly staff. They have gifts, candles, food and much more to offer. They even have a play room for the kids to play while you sit and enjoy your coffee! read more

While visiting my sister, she insisted we go here for morning coffee. She didn't mention the home-baked goodies that were also offered. Or the collection of locally produced items that were also available for purchase. The gentleman who was at the counter was very friendly, She ordered an Iced Americano, and I ordered a regular hot coffee. At the clerk's suggestion we opted for freshly baked banana nut muffins. And then I spied the Apple Pie Muffin...that came home with me. We enjoyed sipping our coffee and eating our muffins in rocking chairs on the front porch. The ice cream shop serves Hershey's Ice Cream, unfortunately it was 10am and I was leaving to go home so the ice cream experience will have to wait for my next visit. After our coffee, I spent some time smelling the candles (AHHH mazing!) and checking out the variety of sauces, salsas, Charleston Teas, coffees and other items available for sale. This place is a gem! read more

I've seen the Facebook posts about this shop so I finally decided to see what the buzz is about and I am not impressed. They don't have a sizable menu, they don't know anything about coffe..... but cute house/shop/ice cream and coffee place but coffee and frappe isn't that good. Very highly disappointed. Had to throw away my frappe because it was disgusting. I would not be returning. Avoid this store. Not worth the time or money. read more

We love this place! It's located in an old house with tons of charm, and the owners couldn't be sweeter. Have a meal, get some ice cream, shop, play games, relax and visit. We like supporting the small business owner instead of the corporate chains. Great location. read more
