Gryphon Tea Room

SCAD students and traditional Savannah converge on this tea salon on Bull Street. The Gryphon Tea Room occupies one of the city’s former drugstores, and many of the pharmacy’s original Victorian details, such as Tiffany lamps and antique mirrors and cupboards have been retained. It’s a great spot to refuel and admire Savannah’s old and new charm on display. Its local, seasonal and sustainable fare may include such salads as a fresh crab, avocado mousse and tomato salad and entrées like filet mignon with arugula, goat cheese and sweet potato cakes.
