Pinecone Cottage Tea House – A Step Back in Time Retro Tea Room

January 13 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Step back in time to the Retro Tea Room. Picture being led to your exquisitely set table by an efficient and stylish hostess in a grand ocean liner-like restaurant, a place where you can savor your meal and enjoy the ambiance. The first tea rooms were created for women shoppers looking to take a break and until the late 1960s, women were required to wear hats and gloves, influenced by the glamorous models dressed in the latest fashion and furs. Waitresses in impeccable uniforms were always bustling about, and the menu offered homemade creamed soups, chicken salad, and indulgent desserts. And if your fingers got sticky? Simply dip them in finger bowls filled with rose petals. Join me in experiencing the nostalgia of a timeless traditional 1950-1960’s tea room menu!
