~Our Upstairs Room ~

Yes, our upstairs room is available for your meeting, party, or gathering.
We use our upstairs room for regular seating, special parties, meetings, teas, and our wine dinners. Many people ask us if we rent it out and the answer is usually no, we don't charge rent for it. The use of the room is generally free, when you purchase food and beverages from us. However (c'mon, it's free, of course there is a 'however'!) we have a few expectations that we hope you will honor when you do utilize our room:
- We expect you to purchase food and beverages from us, and we ask you to please not bring outside food or beverages with you. We do not expect you to fully cater your meetings unless you book the whole room. Otherwise, ordering from the regular menu or off of the bakery counter is just fine.
- We only have one bathroom and it is accessed through that room. Access to the bathroom must always be allowed, even if you have reserved the entire room. (You may reserve just a table, the entire room, or anything in between.) If you book an after hours event then of course the entire area is private for you.
- Booking the whole room requires a minimum of 20 people; is not generally available during our peak lunch time from 11 am -1:30 pm; and must be fully catered by us, or is subject to usage fees.
- Reservations are necessary so that we do not have more groups than we can handle at any one time. Your reservation also lets us know how much extra food to make in order to accommodate everyone.
- Our parking lot is very small, and we share it with the shop next door, so please encourage your group to utilize street parking, rather than completely filling the lot if your event is during business hours.
- The maximum occupancy is 42 people, and this includes service staff. We can accommodate up to 40 people for a standing or casual event. For a sit-down meal event you may not want to go over 26, for comfort's sake.
