Where Leadership Meets Community and Connection
In a city as dynamic as Atlanta, where innovation and culture collide, true visionaries are the ones who create spaces that bring people together. Enter Star Bass, the creative force and dynamic leader behind The Queens Tea Party, a reservation-only tea room and social space that has redefined how Atlantans connect, relax, and celebrate life’s moments.
Star Bass is no stranger to leadership or reinvention. With a more than two decades-long career, she has consistently combined strategic thinking with a passion for creating exceptional experiences. For 15 years, she served as a retail district manager, honing her expertise in team leadership, customer engagement, and operational excellence. Her ability to inspire and build cohesive teams set her apart in a competitive field, earning her a reputation as a results-driven and empathetic leader.
But Star’s journey didn’t stop there. A decade spent as an international flight attendant introduced her to the art of hospitality on a global level. Traveling across continents and connecting with people from all walks of life gave her a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and the universal desire for spaces where people feel valued, understood, and at home.
The Queens Tea Party is the culmination of these experiences, a labor of love that reflects Star’s dedication to creating a sanctuary for connection and elegance. Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, this tea room is more than a venue—it’s an experience. From the meticulously curated decor to the handcrafted teas and seasonal delicacies, every element reflects Star’s vision: a place where tradition meets modernity and every guest feels like royalty.
“Tea has always been about more than just the drink,” Star explains. “It’s about the connection, the pause, and the ritual. I wanted to create a space where people could experience that magic—whether they’re catching up with a friend, celebrating a milestone, or simply taking a moment for themselves.”
Star’s commitment to community extends beyond the tea room. She is the founder of Sisterhood in Success, a mentoring group dedicated to empowering young women in their entrepreneurial journeys. Through this initiative, Star fosters a supportive network where women can navigate challenges, celebrate triumphs, and find a balance between ambition and personal growth.
Her leadership style is rooted in grace and determination, a blend of pragmatic strategy and heartfelt connection. Star’s influence is undeniable whether she’s mentoring the next generation of women leaders or welcoming guests to The Queens Tea Party. She has created a brand—and a legacy—that resonates deeply with everyone who steps into her orbit.
In Atlanta, where tea rooms like Dr. Bombay’s Underwater Tea Party charm guests with eclectic decor and places like Just Add Honey Tea Room cater to the tea connoisseur, The Queens Tea Party stands alone as a beacon of elegance and intention. It directly reflects Star herself: refined yet approachable, rooted in tradition, yet unafraid to innovate.
Star Bass is not just building a business; she’s creating a movement. A space for people to connect, for women to thrive, and for traditions to be reimagined in meaningful ways. She is, in every sense, the queen of her craft.
