The Gathering Place

I have to agree 100% with Maggie about The Gathering Place! April the owner is so very nice and kind and an amazing cook as well! She has done a great job creating a one of a kind Prairie Tea House with great charm and a cozy feeling. We went at Christmas time and the house was decorated beautifully and had nice holiday music playing in the background. The smell of her amazing cooking and tea fills the house with a wonderful aroma! This place is a hidden gem that one must stop and try, make reservations if possible, it's becoming more well known!

The best place to have a delicious & proper tea ;)

The owner & hostess is not only lovely & kind, she's also but ridiculously talented in the kitchen. Everything she serves is makes from scratch & it's all fabulous! If I lived nearby I'd be the size of a house :D

I got the 'sweet & savory' (I think that's what it's called) that includes sandwiches, scones (best I've ever had), coffee cake (to die for!!), other pastries &, my favorite, lemon curd,,,,,, ohhhhh myyyy, lol.
She has a wide variety of teas & my first choice is the Laramie Lemon Creme tea.

The home is decorated in Victorian style. It's tasteful, interesting & creates the perfect ambiance for a long leisurely  tea with friends.

If you're ever anywhere near this area do yourself a big favor & stop by for brunch :) You won't regret it!

Currently the hours of operation are Wednesday through Saturday, 9 am - 12 noon, but I would call ahead just to make sure they're open. Also, if you have a larger group you can call ahead for reservations & the days & times are more flexible.
