SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA (September 2, 2025) Stillwater Tea House, a cherished destination for traditional English afternoon tea, officially celebrated the grand opening of its new home at Rose Cottage, 2453 Pruden Blvd, Suffolk, VA, on Friday, August 29.

“My partners, Rowanne Stephenson and Rachel Austin, and I were honored to welcome so many familiar faces and new guests to our grand opening. We are thrilled to share this experience with the Suffolk community once again.”
