BUSINESS HOURS

We are opened for indoor and sidewalk dining! Business hours are Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 5:30pm, last seating at 3:30pm.


We continue to offer Afternoon Tea in a Box for takeout during business hours. Preordering  (at least 2 hours before pick up) required for Tea in Box (to go). Thank you everyone for your patience. We can't wait to see you again!



NEW PRICES

Due to global supply chain issues and inflation, Afternoon Tea in a Box is now $30. The minimum for (dine-in) Afternoon Tea service is $35 per person, $22 per child (10 years and under). 


OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY TEA PRE FIXE IS THE ONLY AVAILABLE OPTION FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF DECEMBER.


Party of 6 and more, dining in, will include a service charge/automatic  gratuity of 25 percent. 

Why is the service charge 25% instead of 18% or 20% like other businesses?

Because our tea room is tiny and we can only fit 1 or 2 larger parties, compared to other businesses. Thank you for your understanding.



SIDEWALK DINING

Please request for sidewalk/outdoor dining in your online reservation. We will have outdoor heaters when it gets colder but please dress warmly and feel free to bring your favorite blanket. Sidewalk reservations are weather permitting, and subject to cancellation if weather is unsuitable (you will be notified in advance).

DISPOSABLE MENU & CONTACTLESS PAYMENT

Everyone will get a disposable menu. No cash payment at this time, except if change is not unexpected.

RING FOR SERVICE

For extra safety, staff will limit checking in on your party while you enjoy your tea service. Please use the bell to ring for service (for more hot water, napkins, etc).

PLEASE BE KIND

We are doing the best we can in this uncertainty. Please be patient with us as we navigate this game of musical chair in a very limited space. 

Indoor & sidewalk dining available in 3 seatings: 11:00 AM, 1:15PM & 3:30PM

PICK THE TIME CLOSEST TO YOUR RESERVATION AND
