ALICE’S TEA CUP

Go down the rabbit hole for an Alice-inspired tea hours // Ages 3+

You’re late! You’re late! For a very important date – a delicious tea party! You’ll feel like you’ve stepped through the looking glass and landed in a world full of steaming cups of tea and plates of buttery scones at Alice’s Tea Cup, several delightful tea shops inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

How many restaurants do you know that sprinkle kids with fairy dust as they walk in? Here, kids are given the option of wearing colorful fairy wings during their meal.

Decorated with whimsical Alice memorabilia, the restaurants specialize in a staggering variety of tea, plus a scrumptious array of baked goods. The big draw for kids is the Wee Tea, a stacked tier of yummy treats that include a cupcake, mousse, or tart and a scone (they sell 800 scones a day!). Arrive hungry and taste everything you can.

“Real” food is also to be had. The “Menu for the Small” offers classic kid favorites, like grilled cheese (probably the most popular offering) or peanut butter and jam, plus pint-sized versions of treats, like apple slices with peanut butter or Nutella.

You can even create your own crepes with sweet or savory fillings. Try bacon, cheddar cheese, sweet marshmallow fluff, or maple syrup – or a tasty combination!

Tea drinkers will love the vast selection, with lesserwell-known options like genmaicha (green tea with corn kernels and toasted rice) and herbal (decaf) teas. And never fear –you can also order a cup of classic Earl Grey. If you’re heading down the rabbit hole, this is the way to go!
