Warm Brie
$12.00
A wheel of double cream brie, topped with locally made jam and heated until it’s gooey and ready to spread on crostini or gluten-free crackers. We suggest apricot or blackberry jam, but other options may be available. It makes a lovely shareable appetizer. This is only available in-house, and does not require a reservation.
Take and Bake Cornish Pasties
$20.00 $18.00
We fill our house-made pasties with beef, potato, carrots, onion, seasoning, and rutabaga locally sourced from Shelton's Farm Market, encase them in a hot water crust, and freeze them as a two pack in vacuum sealed bags. If you purchase this online, please indicate a store pickup time. These cannot be shipped. They are also available singly in house. We bake fresh to order without a reservation- but they take about 30 minutes. (We have some lovely appetizers available while you wait, though!)

A four pack of frozen (vacuum sealed) handmade scones, ready to pop in your oven and make your home smell amazing! Please tell us which flavor you'd like in the order notes:

Clotted Cream (8oz jar)
$8.00
Clotted cream is a thick, creamy, white spread, the consistency of softened cream cheese. The ubiquitous accompaniment for clotted cream is a scone, along with some jam, but this British specialty is also delicious with muffins and quick bread. Quantities are very limited.
Lemon Curd (7oz)
$7.00
Our house made lemon curd is a creamy, dense, intensely flavorful spread. Delightful on scones, toast, from a spoon...
Bubble Tea
$8.00
This drink has a number of monikers, including pearl milk tea and tapioca tea, but it's most commonly referred to as bubble tea or milk tea. The term "bubble tea" is actually a reference to the milk froth that forms when the drink is shaken, not the chewy pearls (or "toppings") in the drink that resemble bubbles.
How to make the perfect glass of bubble tea-
First, pick a base:
- Oolong Tea
- Milk (Almond or Oat +$1)
- Any tea from the wall (+$1)
Then add a flavor:
• Watermelon • Honeydew • Green Apple • Raspberry • Strawberry • Taro • Lavender • Hibiscus • Okinawa milk teaLast, if you wish to add a Topping:
• Cherry blossom crystal • Brown sugar crystal • Rose popping • Peach popping • Strawberry popping • Yogurt popping • Green apple popping • Blueberry coconut heart jelliesTea Compendium
