EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT
I would like to express my complete dissatisfaction with my recent visit to your tearoom. I was with a group of 15 for a bridal shower. We were all so extremely excited to come to your establishment for a tea party yet all of us were so disappointed. I am confident that no one from the event will ever return. Here are a few reasons as to why:
Our party was confirmed and intended to be the only party in the room. However, we were double booked with a child’s birthday party. It was very loud, and the servers were focused on the children.
The temperature in the tearoom was extremely hot and we had asked if there was any way to increase the cool air. We were told no, and that the AC unit was just not very good. About an hour into our event, I noticed a fan in the back corner near the bathroom. I took it upon myself to get up and move the fan from the back corner closer to our table. A more customer serviced oriented approach would have been for the employees to offer the fan to us when we informed them how uncomfortable we were.
We had to ask for water, which came without any ice. When we asked for ice, we were told “we don’t have any because we ran out.”
The teapots that were set on the table were extremely hot and very heavy to pick up and self-serve. Many of us experienced pain and light burns on our hands when attempting to pick up the pots.
We were given very small glass teacups to use and the cup handle was so small you could not hold the cup with one hand.
When scones were served to the group, and I was informed that the gluten free scones would be out shortly. About 5-10 minutes later one of the employees came out and said “I burned the gluten free scones, so I don’t have any scones for you. I can give you something else if you want.” I declined.
Salads were served without any dressing and when dressing was requested it seemed to throw the employees for a loop as they had to go ask someone in the back if that was OK.
There were not enough salads made for the group so 2 people had to share.
We were informed that there were 3 soups to choose from. Chicken noodle, Chicken gnocchi, and tomato (but only 2 servings of tomato available). About half of the table selected chicken gnocchi and the other half selected chicken noodle (1 chose tomato). Several minutes later a server came to us and said “would anyone who ordered Chicken gnocchi be willing to change to chicken noodle? We don’t have enough chicken gnocchi to go around.”. A few people offered to change to chicken noodle, yet the server still had a problem. I asked her “how many servings of chicken gnocchi do you have available?” and she said “none.” Why didn’t she just say that in the first place? The entire table (except for the 1 tomato) had to change to Chicken noodle. On top of that, the soup was room temperature when it was served to us, and the tomato seemed to be poured right out of the can into the cup.
Employees were not dressed appropriately for a tea.
Honestly, if we were not there to celebrate the bride, we would have all walked out and refused to pay. I feel terrible for the bride and her sister who paid for this event. I feel like she should be given an exceptionally large refund! This was the most disappointing experience that I have ever had.
I did send an email to the establishment but as of 4 days later I have not heard back.

This is the place to go for rum cakes, cookies, and ice cream!
I've been going here frequently since I moved to my current location about a year ago.
They are constantly experimenting and trying new things (tip: follow them on Instagram so you know what and when they are dropping).
I've had them make a custom rum cake for a party I hosted and it turned out great. If you request they can accommodate gluten free and even vegan diets with their rum cakes!
They also now have vegan ice creams! I would just call ahead to confirm what they have if you have a dietary restriction like that.
The owners are phenomenally friendly and make you feel like a VIP anytime you're there! Couldn't recommend this place enough!
I always get a couple rum cakes and some rum ice cream (they also make non alcohol/kid friendly ice cream as well) as my regular order.
Deliciously rich and unique cheesecakes, with thoughtful packaging and considerate service that make every order special.

My work ordered the individual cheesecakes and they were incredible. In fact, as soon as I finished eating mine I hopped on here to leave a review. I had the banana cream cheesecake and it was the best cheesecake I've ever had. The flavor and texture were so rich without being too heavy. We were also able to get gluten free cakes which helped immensely in accommodating the dietary needs of everyone in our office.
Delivery was on time and they were super polite and considerate. The cakes came packaged very nicely and with neat labelling. But even if they had dropped it off late in a plastic bag while cussing me out, I'd still tell you to buy from them because the cakes were that good. You won't regret your order!!

I have problems with sugar and as such I generally get a gluten free cheesecake for my birthday. My wife knowing this was trying to find a place that did them and did them well. When she placed the order we were hoping it would come out fine as most places won’t work with sugar substitutes. Well this was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had. Rich and creamy and the crust wasn’t purely nuts but had that graham cracker texture to it. If there was any issue with the cake it was that we got it and it wasn’t holding its form very well. I’m more of a taste guy and unless I’m going to a Michelin starred restaurant I won’t have issues with presentation with it tasting as good as it did.
