A historic staple of Atlanta cuisine has reopened following a two-month closure due to storm damage.

Mary Mac’s Tea Room was back in operation starting Wednesday after completing repairs made to the roof, which partially collapsed after heavy rainfall.

“We’re so excited to see all our loyal customers soon! It’s taken two long months and lots of hard work and dedication from our team, the city of Atlanta, and all of our partners to get here, and we are proud to announce we are reopening our doors with regular hours, starting tomorrow,” an Instagram post for the establishment read Tuesday evening.
