Bainbridge Apothecary and Tea Shop

Came for Afternoon Tea with some friends on a Sunday afternoon and this place did not disappoint! I loved the service by both Ericas, the Halloween decor was on point, and we had a lovely experience with Carrot Cake the cat coming into our room. I do think that the price is a bit much for the food, but I did really love our experience.The Afternoon Tea comes with bottomless tea, so we tried a couple different pots. I wish there were more clear instructions on how long to steep the teas and a way to keep the pots warm, we definitely had some mediocre experiences. I did love the Moroccan Mint the most, it was exactly what I expected and great with the honey. We also tried the Blackberry Assam, Earl Grey, and White Peony. I didn't like the Earl Grey too much.The food was pretty nice. The one that stood out the most was the Pumpkin Butter and Cream that came with the second level of pastries, aka the Pumpkin Scone and Apple Croissant (?). I really loved that section. The others were alright; our Tomato Basil soup was a tad lukewarm, the Quiche was overwhelmingly cheesy, and the Lemon Bar was really soft.The best part was the service and the passion from Erica. My friends and I overall had a nice experience that included petting the cat, playing random music from Alexa, and overall having an excuse to dress up and pretend to be fancy!

Came for afternoon tea at noon on a weekend. I really enjoyed the experience since we had a little room in the back to ourselves. The food served was decent but I wish there was little bit more. I think I liked the savories the most out of the options since they were what I had first but the items on the second level were also pretty good. I dipped everything on the first level into the soup since it felt a little strong on it's own. I got a sangria and it was really good, wasn't really able to taste the alcohol and my friend also really enjoyed it. Out of the teas that we had, I'm not sure if any of them really stood out to me.

I think this spot is the cutest and such a great spot to just relax after a day of walking. I definitely recommend trying out a pot of their teas and sipping it there if they have seating available. The staff there are so friendly and helpful, even Carrot Cake the resident cat! I had a seasonal cherry blossom one back in spring and then Cuppa Magic which was this delicious maple and strawberry black tea. Very tasty especially with a little honey and milk. You can also shop for tea there to bring home among with other apothecary elixirs, herbal items and more.

Such a cute little experience! We popped in for a drink and didn't want an entire service as we were going wine tasting shortly after, so we shared a pot of tea. It came out to like $10 and was more than enough for two people- it may have even been plenty for 3 people.The staff are friendly and the space is decorated really sweetly. They have you pick a fancy cup to drink out of. I did notice the cups were pretty dusty, maybe wiping them down would be a good idea. I loved carrot cake the kitty, who came and said hi and let us pet him. The major bummer was it was SO hot indoors. It seemed like they had no AC or Fans. Coupled with no curtains, and the summer weather, and the hot beverage, we had to cut our visit short because we were overheating and sweating inside. Getting outside into the fresh air felt like a relief. Definitely consider some AC :) In colder weather this place would be perfect!

My friend and I stopped by and this place did not disappoint! We were greeted with a friendly smell and were able to smell a couple of different teas before getting a pot! It's $5 for a cup and $8 for the pot. They also had plenty of seating outdoors and a table set up inside which is where we sat. I also liked that they provided us with milk and sugar to mix in with the tea. I already had plenty of tea, but wish I bought a couple of the unique different ones they had in stock! Overall, I loved the aesthetic of this place and if you are tea lover, definitely stop by!

Such a cute little place. My daughter and I had the witches tea and it was lovely. The service was spot on and thoughtful, the tea was great-I bought an ounce of the "Love" tea to bring home as we liked it so much. The food was perfect. I especially enjoyed the Tomato Soup w Tarragon. A great experience!

Great place for some tea and catching up with friends! My friend made reservations to have afternoon tea here. We arrived a little early, but they were very accommodating and allowed us a choice of sitting indoors in the shop or outdoors. We opted for outdoors since it was themed, private, and in a much larger space. The area was themed Alice in Wonderland and there was even some heaters provided to keep us nice and toasty in the chilly weather! The food and teas were delicious, and I appreciated that we were allowed to try so many different kinds of teas! One of this highlights was Carrot Cake, the roaming cat that snuggled up to me and hung out with us the whole time we were sitting there! Erika was very nice and accommodating and very friendly, which added to the whole experience! Erika even let us get some tea to go, on the house! which was very nice of her and I appreciated her hospitality! Definitely recommend having afternoon tea here, especially since the patio themes change!

So fun!! The most fun I've ever had in a high tea. And it's all thanks to the owner Erica!Erica, you're the nicest human being I've met in a long time. So genuine, exciting, passionate about your delicious tea, your amazing food ( that mushroom soup was soul warming even on 100 degrees day) and literally everything!! You made us felt so welcome and loved. Came here for a friends going away/ we had a Bainbridge island day with high tea, wine and dinner planned. Ferry was a little delayed but our gracious host/ owner Erica kept track of the ferry time. So no food or tea was left cold. First: the tea decor! Straight out of a look book! So beautiful. Tea chinas are just gorgeous, delicate and stunning. We felt like princesses for a day! And Erica is beyond generous/ gave us extras treats, extra mushroom soup which was vegan and to die for! Her amazing cheesy scones. Everything was wonderful! We came peak heat wave time and sat outside. For a good 2.5 hours! Time flew by!All her teas were delicious too but the best part/ we added her delicious frozen sangrias! Perfect on heat wave! We sipped, savor and ate so much food for an afternoon tea! Never ate so much food! Or such delicious food. Did I mention it was like 99 -101 degrees day?? Didn't stop me from pots of tea or that piping hot mushroom soup. Thanks, Erica for your amazing hospitality!! Your energy, your shop and your love for tea, the food you make just outshine that sun!! :) Looking forward to coming back!

The staff was so helpful and kind, and the selection of teas and other goodies was great! We got to meet Carrot Cake, the resident kitty, and take home some delicious souvenirs of Bainbridge :)

What a gem of a tea shop! I was absolutely obsessed by cute this shop is! They have teas and other cute little tea and herbal related items for purchase! My friend and I came here with reservations for their afternoon tea at noon. It's on the pricier side but the tea is fantastic and all of the little treats were absolutely delicious! The owner of the shop is so friendly and welcoming, we 100% recommend doing this experience. We were given the option of either sitting in the tea shop or they have this private little Alice in Wonderland themed patio where you can enjoy tea time outside. We opted for the patio. We also had a nice surprise visit from their adorable cat, Carrot Cake who kept us company the entire time. We spent about 2 hours here. The tea is served in pots and when you start Erika gave us some nice recommendations we really enjoyed. After that she let us try any of the other teas we wanted. Their tea delights came in a 3 tier and the bottom had tomato bisque (which was fabulous!) with a cheddar broccoli scone and a cucumber sandwich. The second tier had a blueberry scone and madeline cookie with cream and jam. And the top tier had a lemon bar, raspberry pastry, macaron and chocolate. Not sure if these items change but all were fantastic! Such a great experience to do with friends or family! I came with a friend this time. After our tea, we paid inside and she gave us another cup to-go! Since we went at the tail end of September they didn't have their Halloween decor up quite yet, but they do decorate for Halloween and I can imagine this spot being super fun to come around that time!
