Gerri's Tea Room
High Tea With Gerri began with a simple idea: to bring the timeless tradition of afternoon tea to life in a way that feels personal, elegant, and authentic.
Founded by Gerri, whose roots trace back to Ireland and whose inspiration comes from classic British tea culture, the tea room was created as a place where guests could step away from the rush of everyday life and experience something truly special.
Drawing on traditional techniques and a deep appreciation for the ritual of tea, every detail is thoughtfully curated—from the selection of teas to the presentation of each course. Guests are welcomed into a warm, vintage-inspired setting, complete with antique teacups, silver teapots, and a sense of charm that feels both nostalgic and inviting.
Since opening in Long Grove, High Tea With Gerri has become a destination for those celebrating life’s meaningful moments—bridal showers, birthdays, gatherings with friends, and quiet afternoons meant to be savored.
More than just tea, this is an experience rooted in tradition, hospitality, and the joy of slowing down.
