Reservations
Reservations are required. Those with reservations will be admitted five minutes before the starting time. The two-hour duration of a seating will not extend for anyone arriving or joining us late. Parties must include only pre-reserved guests, and there will be a charge for any absent reserved guests.​
​
For parties of more than 6 guests, we require that you book by email (www.visittaketeainct@gmail.com">www.visittaketeainct@gmail.com). Looking to have a large party or special event? Please click the link below for more information.
Cancellations
For parties of 1-6 guests, afternoon tea reservations may be cancelled at any time that is at least 24 hours before your scheduled tea time. Cancellations must be made online (via your confirmation email). With the exception of illness or emergency, we would appreciate 48 hour notice. (We are a small tea room, operating at reduced capacity with reservations make a difference to our service and success.) Parties cancelling within the 24 hours advance of tea time, as well as "no-shows" may be ​​charged for their reservations. Please call the tearoom for day-of emergency and covid cancellations.
​
For pre-paid, large parties of 7-16 guests, 72-hr notice is required for a full refund. Please note that we cannot accommodate "banquet seating". Our tables seat 1-6 persons. Larger parties may be seated at more than one table.
Allergies and Dietary Accomodations
Disclaimer: Take Tea uses a variety of food products and ingredients to prepare its menu items and as such disclaims any responsibility for adverse reactions of our guests due to allergy to such products. We are not a nut free, nor a gluten-free kitchen and cross-contact can occur. All guests should take this into consideration prior to making a reservation. We cannot alter our menu without prior notice and discussion of your food allergies and religious prohibitions.
All concerns must be communicated at the time of the reservation. HOSTS/HOSTESSES making the reservations are responsible for canvassing their guests regarding their special needs which must be provided to Take Tea, at least 24 hours before afternoon tea. When available, items will be substituted to replace items for disclosed allergens. ​Regretfully, we currently cannot fully accommodate the following dietary restrictions: gluten-free; vegan - but we do make a strong effort, so please note restrictions on reservations.
