Located in a strip mall in McKinney, Lavender's is an interesting mix of frou frou shopping, antiques, and tea.
Each place setting includes lovely china, reminiscent of your grandmother's tea service. The dining area is seperate from the shops, ensuring a lack of interruptions. Unfortunately, a family with very noisy children were seated next to us, causing the atmosphere to suffer.
The tea selection seemed limited to black teas and the server was unable to help illuminate the choices. The tea, once served, was decent but unremarkable. Of note is the royal tea that includes champagne as well as tea.
The sandwiches were extremely basic - pimento cheese, egg salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad (the lack of the ubiquitous cucumber sandwich was noted with some dismay). Scones were tasty, but appeared a bit lonely on the plate. The desserts seemed unimaginative, compared to some other places in the DFW area, but were gobbled up nonetheless.
Service was attentive and polite, but not particularly knowledgeable.
