Tea Time the Suitcase Gals Way...
Begin your experience by selecting one premium tea from the curated collection. While your tea gently steeps, you will presented a three-tier stand of chef-curated bites, featuring an artful mix of savory and sweet offerings designed to be enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
Each three-tier stand is shared by two people. Tables are arranged for 2’s, 4’s, and one table for 6. Please let us know if you’re registering with a friend and we will do our best to seat you together—if not, it’s a great opportunity to meet new Suitcase Gals. The room is small and quaint, so we’ll all be in the same cozy space.
