Bainbridge Apothecary and Tea Shop

I went here while in a trip over Christmas and this was one of the highlights of my trip. Erica was so nice every time I came in to buy a cup of tea, she remembered each me time I came in and would talk to me as if I never left. It was so well priced too!! I went afternoon tea here and took my mom. the food was amazing! The pastries were so cute with a Christmas theme perfect for the holidays. The tomato soup was the best I’ve ever had hands down. The owner was so kind and taught me his secret on how he made it :). I got so much tea to take back home with me. I will for sure be going back here next time I’m in Bainbridge.

What an absolutely magical experience! If you are visiting Bainbridge, do yourself a favor and book high tea here. The attention to detail is unmatched. The food was not only gorgeous, it was delicious. It was very obviously made with great care and love. I wish there was a cookbook I could buy to recreate this feast at home. You also need to visit the store. From the unique collection of teas, tinctures and conscious gifts; there is something for everyone. We did not want to leave and can not wait to return. Erica has created one of the most special experiences I’ve had the good fortune to attend. Such a gift.

I just have to say, we absolutely loved our experience at the Bainbridge Apothecary and Tea Shop. It was very easy to reserve a table and I was able to update the reservation to change the # of attendees without issue. I hosted a bridal shower for a dear friend at this adorable venue and everyone really enjoyed it. Our party had the cottage to ourselves, which was the perfect space. The decor creates the perfect ambiance. The tea was great, as was the food. I would absolutely come here again.

Very good food and so many unlimited tea selections! Owner is so kind and inviting and the local tea kitty carrot cake is the cherry on top. Will be coming back! Thank you for your hospitality.

Such a delicious afternoon tea experience. Erica was an amazing host and so was carrot cake the cat. We got a variety of delicious treats and some savory cheddar/spinach tartes and tomato soup. All of the teas were delicious, and our favorites were the cherry love and fruitcake. Definitely worth every penny!!

Wow! What an incredible experience this place is! We celebrated my grandmothers birthday today and what a treat! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, the tea selection blew up away, and the food was stunning. The tomato bisque was the best tomato soup I’ve ever had, I desperately need the recipe! If I could give 10 stars I would. Also shoutout to carrot cake, really made this place special. 10/10

My husband Nate and I had a lovely time and keep talking about the tomato soup and how we want the recipe to make at home. Uploaded a video review on Instagram @thevictorianhistorians and tiktok @thevictorianhistorians will be coming back in November for the holiday season!

If you are looking for the fastest way to get into the Holiday spirit, short of the Polar Express...Holiday High Tea at the Bainbridge Apothecary and Tea Shop is it. My son and I had the most delightful time listening to Christmas music in a toasty cottage while snacking on gorgeous delectables... we truly had the best time! I got some of their proprietary Holiday tea as my "friends' gift" with festive mugs, because it makes the whole house smell like Christmas! I finally have the ambition to decorate! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you to Erika and her staff for making today such a great way to feel Christmas 2023!

So happy to write the 100th review. They have cute decor, fun fancy cups to drink tea from and just enjoy a casual evening with a friend. A worthy visit for tea lovers who wants to have a good time :)

Great high tea experience! The variety and quality of teas here are fantastic. The food is excellent too. They even make their own clotted cream with vanilla and lemon and they have a wonderful house made frozen cherry sangria that is the bomb. The best part though was that Erica and the other folks who work here are so nice and friendly with excellent service. I’ll come back here whenever I can.

Such a lovely place! We saw it through the window and had to check it out, and it’s so cozy and inviting. The person working (the owner I think?) was so helpful and helped me pick out the perfect tea. This place alone is worth us making another trip to the island.

Went to the tea room today an it was absolutely fantastic. The woman behind the bar was very friendly and helpful, the place was gorgeous, and the tea was incredible. The best part though, was the patio cat, Carrot Cake. I sat on the patio for about an hour, and she kept me company the whole time. She tried to drink my cream, but I thought it was endearing. Overall, this place is a gem and everyone should go there at least once.

What a great spot to enjoy afternoon tea with friends! Lovely fair and unique custom tea blends to enjoy.

If you have the chance to go here.. GO! The owner, Erika, provided the most kind and hospitable experience complete with DELICIOUS baked goods, service, and of course tea. Such a refreshing experience.

What a wonderful shop! We tried several teas and bought some to take home. The owner was lovely and friendly. Bonus points for the shop cat, Carrot Cake!

Wonderful afternoon tea, worth far more than the super reasonable price! Served with beautiful and delicious homemade seasonal pastries, soup, and sweets. Plus the outside lounge is decorated according to the season and it's so cute!! (Comes with a cute kitty too)

A friendly kitty met us at the door! Staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Tried cups of tea to go, nice selection.

This place is super cute & a must stop. The owner is super sweet and easy to talk to even for a socially awkward person like myself! The frozen sangria was strong but with a great taste. I forgot what this frozen slush was called that she recommended but i loved it! It wasn't too sweet at all and a perfect mix of flavors. I will definitely stop by again next time i visit 🥰

I wanted something special for my daughter and friend of distinguished age. This venue delivered above and beyond my expectations. Absolutely lovely setting on their back patio.

Went for their witchy tea event in October. Was expecting a typical high tea experience plus maybe some spider webs and pumpkins for atmosphere, but boy was I pleasantly surprised to be wrong!

Firstly, I had a few people cancel and trouble getting to the tea house on time due to the ferry and felt awful about being late, but the apothecary shop was so gracious and accommodating and it was not a problem with them at all. When we finally arrived, we had an entire private room to ourselves that was completely decked out - I felt like I had stepped into my very own coven house! The server was attentive and the host herself was so kind and knowledgeable about teas! She took time to have a lengthy discussion with us about our experience as well as different teas, it was truly a pleasure to talk to her and visit this fun and amazing tea house. You can tell they were very thoughtful about their choices and were supporting a lot of other local businesses as well.

The apothecary shop itself is also worth visiting - they have a wonderful selection of scents, candles, and tinctures. I ended up buying a wonderful scented oil that I use daily. I will definitely becoming back for their winter solstice event! Can't recommend this place enough!
