Tea Service

We encourage you to enjoy a pot of tea or a tea to go anytime. We bake our scones to order, so if you would like a scone to go with your tea you’re welcome to call ahead or browse the shop for the 20 minutes it will take to serve you a wonderful warm from the oven scone.

We love serving small tea parties, but because our seating space and facilities are quite limited we are not able to serve large groups here in the shop.

Tea Service by Reservation

All tea service is by reservation only. We currently offer a Cream Tea option served on vintage China with table linens and bottomless tea:

CREAM TEA: includes a scone with lemon curd, clotted cream, and jam plus bottomless tea

Please email or call to request current prices. 207.761.8041 or e-mail for details.

Hosting a tea party can be a casual event, or can be very formal.

The most important aspect of having tea is that it should be a relaxing and pleasant social interlude with wonderful tea, well prepared, accompanied by tasty treats, whether they be toast and jam or an elaborate spread of fancy savories and sweets. We will explore some ideas for tea party themes, foods and tea accompaniments, along with table settings, serving pieces, and seating of guests.
Dates and cost: TBA. Contact if interested.
