FairyTea Room is an upscale yet quirky tea room offering a whimsical lunch experience with fresh pastries, light fare, and full tea service. With vintage décor and playful touches, it’s perfect for a cozy afternoon or a special outing with friends. The menu includes gluten-free options, making it both charming and accommodating.
For lifelong friends Korto Tawse-Butha and Sara-Beth Warner, the FairyTea Room is a dream come true. Their vision was simple yet meaningful: a cozy space where people can gather to slow down, savor a cup of tea, and connect in a way that modern life rarely allows. The tearoom is meant to be a celebration of friendship and community. We caught up with them to hear more about their journey.
We have always aspired to open a business together. We landed on the tearoom a couple years ago and decided it was the perfect fit to entertain and bring people together to create new memories.
Afternoon tea includes a choice of three tea sandwiches, two scones, assorted mini pastries, and a pot of tea. We also offer a special “luncheonette” menu on Thursdays and Fridays, which has more extensive lunch items for dining in or take out. Guests also love our gluten free and vegan options. Bubble tea and matcha lattes are easy to grab when using the bike path, which runs right by us.
Everyone here wants you to succeed. You can truly feel the love and support in this town.
Our advice would be to just stroll around, check out the local businesses, have some delish food and drinks. Warren is a great place to unwind and is a top-notch food destination.
We are very excited to share that we will be offering alcoholic beverages and a “Spill the Tea” hour, starting this summer!
A new favorite has arrived on Water Street. Step inside Porto General Store, where history, community, and thoughtfully curated goods come together in one beautiful space. Founded by Warren resident Justin Silva, @portogeneralstore is inspired by Warren’s maritime roots, Portuguese heritage, and the simple joy of gathering.
Housed in a historic building that once served as a neighborhood market, Porto offers a carefully selected collection of home goods, pantry staples, gifts, and products from Rhode Island, New England, and beyond. Whether you’re stopping in for a coffee, browsing for the perfect gift, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.
