Tea room set to open tomorrow
DAYTON — Basically British — a specialty shop that imports British candies, foods, teas and gifts — will open a tea room on Tuesday, Sept. 1 as part of an expansion of its business at 502 E. Third St. in the Cannery just east of downtown Dayton.
The Tea Room is adjacent to the Basically British retail shop and was the former reception area for Square One Salon and Spa, according to a news release from the Downtown Dayton Partnership.
The shop is accepting reservations for afternoon tea from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. In addition to choice of tea, the menu includes a Traditional English Scone with jam and clotted cream, sandwich offerings such as chutney chicken salad on puff pastry and cucumber sandwich with salmon and dill, and dessert offerings such as Orange Cheesecake with Butterscotch Sauce and Chocolate Caramel Shortbread. The cost is $20.95 per person. Service is limited to those 10 and older.
Terry Ronald, co-owner of Basically British, said in the news release that the tea room will seat up to 20 people and “will give the community an opportunity to fully experience the art of afternoon tea.”
Reservations are encouraged and can be made by calling (937) 222-1488.

I agree; a better price is at Perc’s in Oakwood. They are very sweet there and their afternoon tea is very good. Good luck to the Tea Room. I am just not sure about the afternoon clientel for downtown especially for afternoon tea time.

2 to 4 cuts out just about everyone who works. I hope the others come often and spend big or you’re headed for Basically Closed.
