Featuring fairy-tale architecture and verily reeking of quaintness, this tiny English-style tearoom can often be quite difficult to get seated in. Additional seating is available on a tiny outdoor patio. The breakfast menu at The Tuck Box offers egg items and hot oats as well as unusual and delicious spongy scones (they’re more like English muffins) with a choice of homemade olallieberry preserves or exceptional orange marmalade—all made in house. At lunch, sandwiches, salads, and omelettes are available along with Welsh rarebit. Afternoon tea service stops at 2:30 p.m. and is limited to scones and hot English tea.
