Tonia's Victorian Rose Tea Room & More

Now that summer is over, we are ready to bake off these pretties (as well as quiches and scones), practicing and gearing up for upcoming fundraisers for Rata2ee scholarships! 🎉 🥧

To My Dear Tea Fans,

I know it’s been a while since our last post. Our last shower commitment has been completed, 🎉 and I can rest easy knowing we did our level best, all the way to the end. A huge thank you to Rochester Community House for all your help, as well as those who worked the final event and helped me with all the prep and decor. 💜

Also, it wasn’t easy, but after 117 hours of organizing, packing and moving four floors of items out of the tearoom, the keys 🔑 have been handed back. I think it’s safe to say that’s a wrap. Thank you again, to all our loyal tearoom lovers.

For those who said they want to stay in touch for potential future events, we have your contact info and will reach out when we’re ready. 🙏🏻 Thank you!

We have frozen quiches for sale today, individual 5 inch (not the size pictured). Private message me how many you want, and pickup will be between 4:30-6 pm today (Friday) or tomorrow (Saturday) from 12-2 pm. Sorry, I don’t have any other items baked at this time, just the following quiches @ $10 ea:

-Spinach with cheddar and light gorgonzola
-Lorraine with bacon and smoked Gouda

Banquet and dining chairs for sale, $5 each OBO (cash or vm only) - please DM me to set up appt to buy, would like gone before Saturday! Downtown Rochester Location

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕 I sure am going to miss all you lovelies.

T-Fans, Can you believe today (1/7) is officially our 7-year Anniversary? Posting this at 7 am on the 7th of January on our 7th Anniversary - can it get any better than that?! Thank you to all who continue to support us, especially during these post-pandemic, very expensive, difficult-to-staff years! We love seeing your smiling faces when you walk through our doors. 💜 We are blessed with wonderful customers (many are now friends), employees, and abundance! 💫 This week’s celebration means everyone coming in gets a scone of their choice from us for free! 🎉 I’ve added some of my favorite pics below, of past happenings in the tearoom. Enjoy!

Had so much fun with this awesome group of people; loved seeing all the Steampunk and Victorian outfits for our Candlelit Victorian Christmas event! ☕️ 🫖 Also, congratulations to Ben and Kassandra for becoming engaged. 💕We wish them the best for their upcoming nuptials! 🎉

May your angels guide you and keep you happy, healthy and prosperous this 2024 💕 🪽
