About Us
Our Story
Tea~Time started as a dream, or as some say a persistent passion. After a long career in healthcare, owner Vicki decided it was time to move forward, take a risk and pursue some of those inner passions that were bursting to come out. A pursuit of purpose that continued to serve people, but just in a different capacity. One thing Vicki always looked forward to was hosting events of the church in her home. Making little finger foods, sweets and treats eagerly volunteering for the next event. You got it! A passion, a gift an inner drive that brought her to life.
So a few years back, we started our search to host parties in our beautiful downtown Monroe. We looked at several places and landed at 126 West Highland in March of 2021. It was a rugged looking building that did not smell well at all, but a vision was born. Anyone who passed by could testify that an extensive painstaking transformation took place. Then one day, Tea~Time at the Cottage came to life. Whoever said that a vision or a passion is fulfilled quickly, is mistaken. I believe true passion is an ambition. An ambition that takes much heart, mind, body and soul in order to finally materialize. Well, I am thrilled to announce, that the party is about ready to start. The host is looking forward to serving once again. A pleasing variety of miniature savories and delights displayed beautifully on a tiered stand await each guest. Every item served is made within the four walls of that little gingerbread house. Much love, time and passion goes into the details of each one of those little treats. So in order to offer you the perfect tea experience, it is necessary to book a reservation at least 48 hours in advance. We are pleased to invite you to come on in, sit back and indulge yourself on a cherished English Traditional Afternoon Tea with an American made touch.

The Story Continues
Tea~Time has officially closed the doors to that beautiful Cottage. Seems life has a way of shifting the path of adventure over the course of the years. Not only have we added a loyal base of Afternoon Tea friends but we have added a generation of little people to our family. Such a beautiful, precious and cherished phase of our personal life. A chapter that would be a shame not to sit back, participate and experience.
We are happy to announce that the sign has come down but something new will rise up. Tea~Time has decided to share a blend of both life phases with a different slant. That same Tea~Time quality that has been available in that cozy building will soon become available as a home-based business. Offering her elegance, charm & trusted brand straight from the owners kitchen.
Tea~Time will continue to offer it's signature mini-styled sweet treats to individuals and local businesses. Currently in reform, awaiting the best of ovens to make your life a little simpler. Straight from my kitchen to your space. Keep posted, the goal is to make this approaching holiday season sweeter, smoother and a little more special for any client.
To those of you who wonder, will Tea~Time continue to sell tea. Of course, bags of the same tea brand await your brewing!
