Tea Room Menu

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea is a British tradition inspired by Duchess Anne of Bedford in the 1800s to provide light refreshment between the lunch and evening meal. The tradition has evolved into a lovely time of sweets, savories, scones, and tea served on a 2- or 3-tier server which can be enjoyed anytime of day. It is often mistakenly referred to as "High Tea", which is a completely different affair. At the Dragonfly Tea Room you have two choices of Afternoon Tea, both of which require a reservation of one day advance notice. If your afternoon tea is served with champagne/sparkling wine it is called a Royal Afternoon Tea.

Themed Afternoon Tea 

 

Includes scones, tea sandwiches and savories, mini desserts and hot or iced tea.

 

Specific items change according to the season and theme. Each month a new menu is available. Menus are chosen to showcase a particular part of the world. Or other menus are drawn from literature and/or movies. Themed Afternoon Tea is $35/adult, $18/child age 10 and under.

 

Royal Option: We now offer champagne/sparkling wine to add some sparkle to your gathering. This is called a Royal Afternoon Tea. If you request the Royal Option at the time of your reservation the cost of your Themed Afternoon Tea will be $42.

Cafe Menu

The Cafe Menu is available for indoor seating and for Take-Out. Reservations are not required.
Everything is made fresh, in-house.

Cafe Menu, Walk-ins, and Saturdays: Most Saturdays, and occasionally on weekdays, we are completely booked up with reservations. On those days we are unable to seat customers who walk-in hoping to order from the Cafe Menu because all the tables are set for reservations. We set the tables for all the reservations ahead of time so we are certain the tables are ready and available when reservation customers arrive. Additionally, we have a small kitchen and few staff who are busy getting the food ready for reservations. They are not able to stop in the middle of preparing for reservations to prepare a walk-in order, thus we can not prepare a to go order either. We do not have a big enough dining room or kitchen to accommodate any walk-in customers on those days. We do not take reservations for the Cafe Menu either. The Afternoon Tea menus that we offer provide a wonderful experience to those who attend. We highly recommend making a reservation (at least one day in advance) in order to enjoy this experience.
