Did someone say, “High Tea?” Dickson, TN

Less than an hour from downtown Nashville, you’ll find what you’d believe to be a sleepy little town called Dickson. It’s okay. Being from Nashville, I used to think so, too……………until I heard all the buzz.

It’s difficult to explain. It’s one of those experiences you just have to take a day and spend in downtown Dickson, Tennessee to understand all it has to offer. There are so many unique businesses, you won’t believe it. It has the most eclectic group of shops and restaurants.

Let’s start with the eateries(my personal favorite):

Miss Mable’s Tea Room is another one you won’t want to miss. “High Tea, anyone?” It’s just off main street and has scones, tea, tiny little tea sandwiches and homemade chicken salad. Oh dear! I’m getting hungry thinking about that chicken salad. On the weekends, they have a buffet. This is a family run business. Fay Davidson is the owner. Her daughter works there and Faye’s son-in-law is the chef. She must be one good mother in law. That’s all I’ve got to say!

House Blend is a coffee shop located on main street offering biscotti, bagels and more. This little coffee shop also has gifts.

Silver Spoon has great hot deli sandwiches and is divine for lunch. They have these darling boxed lunches tied with a bow. That’s cute enough, but their caramel brownies and carrot cake are so good. Well, let’s just say that if they ran out, and you saw your neighbor getting ready to take a bite of the last caramel brownie, you’d be tempted to rip that brownie right out of their hand! I’m not kidding.

Sisters is a meat and three right off of main street. How’s that for a good ‘ole southern restaurant name? Doesn’t get much better than that. I’m not sure if “Flo” works there, but there’s a good chance. If you don’t get there by noon, it ain’t happenin’.

ENOUGH OF FEEDING OUR PIE HOLES, ALREADY!!!

Let’s talk about shopping! Get a load of these precious store names:

The Spunky Monkey is a gift shop offering candles, lamps, purses, artwork and furniture. This is a great place to buy wedding gifts!

Studio 123 has contemporary art and Jewelry.

Hamilton Place is an antique mall right off of College street. It’s located right next to the Pink Hydrangea. How cute is that name?

The Pink Hydrangea offers soooo many gifts such as jewelry, handbags, a clothing line for babies and toys. They also have glassware containers and soaps for your bathroom. Have you ever heard of a small town having such fabulous shopping? I couldn’t get over it and you won’t either when you spend a day in Dickson, Tennessee!

Wrap up your visit to Dickson by picking up some fertilizer at The Plant Ranch and call it a day!
