Do you remember your first cucumber & cream cheese sandwich at your first high tea? Our goal is to bring back those memories and create new ones with a completely different menu. Instead of tea sandwiches and crumpets with jam, we serve tarts, toasts, and our signature savory waffles. Our ingredients are always fresh and in season, and we promise you they'll be like nothing you've had at a tea party before. Soup? At a tea party? Soup at a tea party. Trust us on this one.

$50/guest includes all food, tea, teaware, and simple decor. For allergy information and special requests, please contact info@NotYourGrandmothersTea.com.
