What a cheery place! They did a special catering order for our four year old's tea party. It was wonderful, aesthetically pleasing, and very well priced. Only a 15 minute drive from downtown. Worth it! I'm bringing a friend there for her birthday, we usually do a hotel high tea,(Four seasons or Espallier) but this feels special.

Hallowed Herbs prepared great finger sandwiches for our daughter's birthday party. Very reasonably priced, perfectly seasoned for kids (not too spicy) and most importantly, loved by the kids.
