Morning & Afternoon Tea Service

Enjoy the tradition of ‘taking tea’ at Sweethearts

One of Sweethearts’ signature offerings is the Victorian High Tea. This 3 tiered cake stand of tea sandwiches and dainty cakes was born out of Diana Harrow’s childhood memories of visits to the ‘Beaths Department Store’ in Colombo Street where her grandmother would treat her to a high tea in the school holidays. Our Victorian High Tea has become a Christchurch High Tea favourite. We are proud to have re-introduced the High Tea tradition to Christchurch and New Zealand almost 20 years ago.

Served daily 10.30am - 11.30am & 2.30pm - 3.30pm. Sweethearts is closed on Mondays from May to September.
