Sandwiches, soups and salads are among the items served at the Royal Tea Room, owned by Cozetta Evans and her daughter, Countess Schatz.

Since opening in November 2010, the women have added breakfast to their menu, including items such as cinnamon rolls, scones, bacon, eggs and French toast.

"The chicken salad sandwich is one of the most popular items, but we do have good soups that we make ourselves," Evans said.

Additionally, the Royal Tea Room hosts parties for children and adults. As for business, new customers stop by everyday.

"We think we'll be able to hire more people this year," Evans said. "That's our goal."
