No shows really hurt! Our Garden Teas are prepared fresh, in house daily and is an item that we serve the day of for quality and freshness. The Garden Teas are not an item that can be served the next day, therefore, when someone does not show it becomes a completely wasted product. Our desire is to eliminate food waste, as much as possible, especially with the rising costs of food, plus, take into account the hours and wages spent in preparation!

We are committed to providing excellent service for our garden teas, and your satisfaction is our top priority. If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied, please inform us during the garden tea experience. We will promptly refund the gratuity back to your credit card, and additionally, we will provide you with the original gratuity amount in cash. Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate the opportunity to make it right.
