Tea Reservations

While Emma's is lovely for drop-ins to order off the menu à la carte, we do take reservations for High Tea, Queen BE Tea, or Special Tea. Ordering off the menu à la carte is first-come, first-served for seating.

We are a casual approach to the Tea Room. Please announce yourself upon arrival. First, order and pay at the counter, and we will bring everything to your table. If you want anything, just ask!

To make your reservation for one of the options below, you will make a $5 non-refundable deposit that will be applied to your check.

What’s included in the High Tea, Queen BE Tea, and Special Tea?

• High Tea includes your choice of tea, a chef's selection of traditional tea sandwiches, a scone with cream, jam, and all the trimmings, seasonal fruit, and a selection of biscuits and petit fours.

• Queen BE Tea comes with your choice of tea, your choice from the soups du jour, a chef's selection of traditional tea sandwiches, a scone with cream, jam, and all the trimmings, seasonal fruit, and a selection of biscuits and petit fours.

• Special Tea includes everything in the Queen BE Tea, plus tablecloths and favors (favors are honey, shortbread cookies and a teabag in a handmade paper teapot).

Dietary restrictions:

• Gluten-free: we do have gluten-free bread and gluten-free desserts, though unfortunately not gluten-free scones. We are a sandwich shop, though, so we cannot guarantee there won’t be cross-contamination — we do make all of our food in the same area.

• Vegan: We do have vegan options! Please visit our menu to see which selections are vegan.

• Vegetarian: We also have many vegetarian options! Please visit our menu to see which selections are vegetarian.

• When making your reservation for one of the Teas below, please note in the comments section any dietary restrictions. If visiting to order à la carte (i.e. visiting without a reservation), please inform our staff of any dietary restrictions upon your arrival.

FAQs about reservations:

• Reserving for more than 6 people for a High Tea, Queen BE Tea, or Special Tea?

  • Please first email Emma to ask if this is possible for your day. We do not book parties over 6 people between 12pm and 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

  • A $50 non-refundable deposit is due to secure your reservation. Make your deposit here.

  • To accommodate your reservation, we will allocate seating to you, so your final head count is due 48 hours in advance and is LOCKED in. You will be required to pay for the quantity of seats you reserve. No exceptions. We request an updated head count 1 week out and again 48 hours before the event.

  • We allow 15 minutes grace time for arrivals and allocate 2 hours for each reservation. We book on tables back to back and no additional time is possible without prior agreement. The hourly rate for additional time is $500 per hour.

  • An 18% gratuity is added to all groups of 8 or more.

  • You may pay upon arrival at the counter, or may pay by invoice the day before. If you prefer to pay by invoice in advance, please email Emma to ask for the invoice.

  • For parties of 8 or more people, please pick 4 teas and 4 sandwiches in advance from our menu - and preferably add them when making your reservation. You may also email Emma your selections at least 48 hours in advance.

• Making a reservation, but the guests will pay via different methods? No problem! Make the reservation below for the amount of people dining with you. When you arrive, you’ll be able to pay with various combinations of payments.

• Need to edit or cancel your reservation? In your confirmation email, there will be a button to cancel/change your reservation. You may use that to add or subtract guests from your reservation, if there is still space available that day/time.
