Is the price per person or per couple?
The price listed is per person.
What is included with the each Afternoon Tea?
Each Adult tea includes 3 mini tea sandwiches, 2 scones, a shared side of lemon curd, and three petit pastries. A pot of tea is shared per couple. This gives each person about 2-2.5 cups of tea. Children receive 2 mini sandwiches, 1 scone, a shared side of lemon curd, and two petit pastries. Children may choose between hot tea or hot chocolate.
Can I substitute a coffee instead of tea?
No, unfortunately not. We have an incredible line of tea and truly believe it is worth trying, if only once!
Is there a dress code
Come as dressy as you'd like or as casual! We believe dressing up is half the fun, so why not!
Can I host a private event/ rent out the space
Unfortunately, that is not something we offer at this time. All teas are hosted during shop hours, while the bakery remains open other guests.
Can bring outside food/drink/alcohol?
No outside food/drink/alcohol is permitted.
