BOOK VIA OPEN TABLE
Due to our cozy size, availability is limited and what you see on OpenTable is accurate and up to date for parties up to four guests. Cancellations do happen (often a day or two ahead) so we encourage you to check back for last-minute openings. If you don’t see what you need, feel free to email us and we’re happy to see what may be possible.
Before booking, we also recommend you scroll down to review our FAQs. Many of the questions we receive via call and email are answered on this page.
Our phone number was set up to relay information and rarely has a live person answering calls. We kindly ask that all inquiries be sent via email as this helps our small, three-person team, stay organized and ensures nothing gets missed.
Groups of 5-10 guests must email us at LittlestTeaRoom@gmail.com to book. Please note, parties of 7+ guests are currently booking about 30-60 days out, so we encourage you to email early with future dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you accommodate food allergies (gluten, vegan, tree nut, peanut, etc.)?
Yes! We do our best to accommodate most all food allergies, but we must receive at least 48 hours’ notice to make appropriate arrangements. When booking your reservation on OpenTable, please be as specific as possible about any allergies or dietary needs—this helps us plan and serve you better. You can enter this info directly into the "notes" part of your OpenTable reservation.
That said, please note: we do not have an on-site kitchen. All of our pastries and treats are sourced from trusted local vendors. While we communicate closely with them, we cannot independently verify allergen handling or guarantee that cross-contamination won’t occur. If your allergy is highly sensitive, we encourage you to take that into careful consideration when deciding whether to join us for tea. We are not responsible for allergic reactions due to cross-contamination.
What's the difference between the tea service options and when do I pick which one I want?
Our "full" (90 minute) experience and our "golden hour" (60 minute) experience both offer a nice mix of savory and sweet treats and both come with a full pot of tea. The primary difference is the length of time you’ll have to enjoy the experience and the size of the tower. (The full comes with a three-tier tower and the Golden Hour comes with a two-tier tower).
You don’t need to decide in advance. Once you arrive and settle into the space, you’ll choose the service that best fits your schedule and appetite. Your tea room attendant is always happy to walk you through the options and help you decide.
What happens if I'm running late?
We understand things happen! Due to the planning of the space and our other reservations, your group has a "hard stop" 1.5 hours after your reservation's start time. Arriving late means you will have less time to enjoy your tea experience and we do reserve the right to cancel reservations that are more than 15 minutes late. Communicating late arrivals (via phone, email, or OpenTable message) will help us prepare.
Is it really $40/person for the full tea experience? Can I get a special price instead?
Our $40 per person rate reflects the generous serving size of our tea and pastries—each guest who orders the full tea experience receives a personal pot of tea and one of every pastry available that day. Not everyone in your group is required to order the full experience, but keep in mind that portions are designed for individuals, not for sharing, so it may not be enough if you're hoping to split.
Is the tea experience kid friendly?
Yes—well-behaved children are warmly welcome! We simply ask that little ones are respectful of the space and mindful of other guests who may be enjoying a quiet tea experience. As parents ourselves, we totally understand the joy (and unpredictability) of bringing kids to tea time. While we reserve the right to kindly ask any disruptive guests (big or small) to step outside, we’ll do our best to help make the experience fun and special for everyone.
How do I access the space? What do I do when I arrive?
When you arrive for your tea reservation, check in with the barista and let them know you're there for a tea reservation. Does he/she look busy? Hang tight! Our baristas are loosely aware of the tea times for the day and will make sure our tea room attendant knows you're there! Our tea room attendant is who will welcome you atop the Littlest Shoppe's stairs and lead you through our bookcase door.
I'd love to see the space, can I just open the door and peek inside?
No! Please don't! Part of what makes the tea room so special is the intimate setting once you're inside. To respect the experience of any reservations that may be in progress, please don't enter the space unless accompanied by a tea room attendant.
