I live nearby, so I have been to Sweet Simplici-Tea many times. Lots of teas to choose from; my current favorite is Persian Nectar (a black tea with chunks of dried peaches). I love the shortbread cookies and the scones of many flavors. A house specialty is fancy cupcakes (too sweet for me). Egg and chicken salads are both good; I like them with crackers but croissants are also available. The ambiance is Victorian, as are the tea cups. I love the place, and especially Robin, the friendly manager.

This tea room is a little over two hours from my home town but my friend and I will be making our second “detour” to visit this establishment as we pass close by the Sykesville area. This is a quaint shop with a friendly, inviting atmosphere. If traveling Route 70 through Maryland take the 5 minute detour and visit this shop. You won’t be disappointed.
