15 years
A Place to Gather
That full menu existed for 15 years as we delighted thousands of patrons. We offered a beautiful place for time to slip sideways as people took time out of their day to reconnect, celebrate or grieve. Some simply read a book or journaled over a pot of tea and scone, lunch or a full afternoon tea.
