Are reservations required?

  • Reservations are not required for brunch, lunch, or our Daily Tea Services; however, our lunch times do get busy and we are happy to hold a table for you.

  •  For groups larger than 8, reservations are appreciated so we can have tables arranged for you prior to your arrival. 

  • For private Tea-vents and special dietary menus, reservations are required. Please see our Tea-vents page for more information.

  • The tea room is available for private venue rental as well.

What is Daily Tea?

  • No visit to our Tea Room is complete without indulging in our quintessential British-style Afternoon Tea. Treat yourself to an elegant experience served on a traditional three-tiered tray with finger sandwiches, light and fluffy scones, decadent mini desserts, and a selection of the finest teas from our daily menu. We call it Daily Tea as the menu has already been prepared for the day so is available during our operational hours. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends or family.

  • Reservations not required but recommended.

How is Daily Tea Service different from our Afternoon Tea Service requiring reservations?

 

  • With our Daily Afternoon Tea Service, the tiers include pre-prepared sandwiches and desserts from our daily menu. Our Personalized Afternoon Tea Services are crafted with customized menus that require advanced notice to prepare.

  • See our Personalized Afternoon Tea page for more information.

What is colewort?

  • Colewort is an antiquated name for arugula. When we were creating our menu, we came across this name and knew we had a great conversation starter on our hands. It's on the menu as a bit of fun and as a way to tick off the box for learning something new today.

  • Currently in the UK, colewort goes by the common name of "rocket" and in the US, "arugula".

What is clotted cream?

  • Clotted cream is an amazing spread for scones made from heavy cream.

  • Currently in the US, it is nearly impossible to make authentic clotted cream due to FDA laws requiring cream to be pasteurized. Many suppliers are now using the ultra-pasteurization method which destroys the proteins necessary to produce clotted cream. Regular pasteurized cream is very difficult to purchase in Indiana. If you know of a USDA-regulated creamery that uses regular pasteurization, please let us know.

  • Ms. B's creates a "mock" version that closely mimics the taste and consistency of authentic clotted cream.

What about special dietary requirements?

  • While Ms. B's takes every precaution to avoid cross-contamination, we do use ingredients that contain gluten, dairy, nuts, and other allergens. We do not have a certified allergen-free kitchen and do not guarantee that our items are free from allergens.

  • We have many gluten-free, nut-free, and vegetarian options available on our daily menu.

  • Many of our menu items can be made vegan very easily. However, if a more extensive vegan menu is desired, this may be prepared with enough advanced notice.

  • As for any special dietary requirements, please contact us so we can discuss the options.

  • Please let us know of any allergies when ordering.

Can I bring a cake for our celebration?

 

  • Outside food is not permitted due to Health Department regulations, this includes cakes for celebrations.

  • We can create a special cake for your celebration, please contact us with enough advanced notice to prepare such a treat.

  • If you bring outside food into the tea room and refuse to follow the regulations, we will ask you to leave the tea room. 

Do you have Wi-Fi?

 

  • Yes! Ms. B's has free Wi-Fi that you may use while visiting. 

  • It is not guaranteed and any abuse of the service is not permitted.

  • We are a family-friendly business, so please make sure content is suitable for families (including language and graphics).

  • We are a great work from "home" location!
