Queen Mary Tea Room

After Mary Greengo earned a few culinary degrees, she opened the Queen Mary Tea Room in 1988. Today, it's one of the country's oldest tea rooms that hasn't changed hands since its inception. Mary enjoys offering a true British experience and has become one of North America's most notable figures in the world of tea. Queen Mary is also a retail shop that features everything you need to make the perfect cup of tea. You can order teacups, infuser sets, and an array of loose leaf teas.

Perennial Tea Room

A small, independently owned shop, the Perennial Tea Room sources all of its leaves from family and fair trade farms. Growing up, Dolan's family had a tradition of trying new teas together. He became the tea room's latest owner in 2019 and enjoys learning about the history of tea as well as various rituals from around the world. The selection available for delivery includes loose leaf tea for all tastes. Flavors include Blue Eyes, Moroccan Mint, and Tie Guan Yin.

Established in 1911, MarketSpice prepares small batch tea blends daily. The shop is proud of its 100 plus year history and believes that "spice is the variety of life." The friendly staff boasts years of experience. If you have any questions, they'll gladly help you over the phone.
