SAVING THYME
Gearing up to join the ranks of tea parties-to-go is the most excellent Saving Thyme Patisserie. Words fail to express the magnificence of the baked goods coming out of the passion project of Alex and Phil Kinsman. Imagine setting up your home tea party with sandwiches, mini-quiche, pâté, croissants, macarons, fruit, madeleines and, of course, scones. Their tea boxes are a recent add-on to their takeout menu that includes heat-and-serve prepared meals. Leading up to Mother’s Day, the tea boxes will be available on some weekends. Check before you make plans. Your local tea house may also be doing afternoon tea takeout, and don’t forget tea services that deliver afternoon tea to your door. Check out Tea Amo in Hamilton or The High Tea Trolley in Halton and Peel regions.
