Unfortunately at this time we do not host events, cater, or rent out our space. We are an extremely small team and our day to day operations take most of our energy and time and we are not able to accommodate anything outside of that. If you are looking to book out a seating for one of our tea services for a larger group please send us an email and we will do our best to accommodate!

We do not take reservations. Our tables are first come first serve but we do an have in person wait list on days that we are busy. We only have 7 tables so we recommend coming earlier in the day on weekends. We have takeout as well. We only take reservations for our Seasonal Afternoon tea held one Sunday a month.

Yes! Our seasonal menu always has at least three vegan (dairy and egg free) and gluten free options for desserts as well as a vegan gluten free sandwich and gluten free crackers available for our savoury plates. Our kitchen is not celiac friendly however as we use the same ovens and kitchen to process both gluten and gluten free items but we do our absolute best to avoid cross contamination. Our kitchen also processes almonds (for our gluten free items) and occasionally cashews, walnuts, pecans, and sesame but items containing these ingredients are clearly labelled.

With our tea sommelier training we are always on the lookout for special and unique teas. We choose teas we really love and believe in and we work with companies that source organic, fair trade, and/or biodynamic tea as well as companies that have strong commitments to workers rights, living wages, education, and co-operative farming. Our menu features over 80 blends from around the world and we are constantly adding in new seasonal teas as well.

Our desserts are 100% made in house by a single person every morning with a menu that changes every month. Our desserts are made with love with a focus on fresh quality specialty treats. We are also focused on sustainability and doing our part to reduce waste and harm to our environment. We work with companies that share these values and we use compostable packaging for all our baked goods. The food industry is known for food waste and bakeries especially are known for throwing out tons of desserts and food each day. An estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste and about 6%-8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced if we stop wasting food. In the US alone, the production of lost or wasted food generates the equivalent of 32.6 million cars' worth of greenhouse gas emissions.
Weekends tend to be busier but we are unable to guarantee busy vs slow days so we keep our production based on what we hope we can sell so we aren't throwing out waste at the end of the day but that sometimes means we sell out by noon. We do our absolute best to ensure multiple dessert offerings for our entire day but on the off chance we will post on our facebook page if we are sold out for the day.
