Sandwiches
Delicate Balance: You might notice there is always a consistent balance between the thickness of the bread and the filling in our sandwiches, so that the filling is the same depth as the carefully sliced bread. Unlike bread sliced for toasting, ours is laterally sliced so that it retains its shape, and is a pleasure to look at and eat. Jam First, or Cream?: It's been a topic of much debate over the generations. In our view, it is the cream that comes first, followed by a teaspoon of jelly or jam. Of course this is just our own opinion, and the order of ceremony will always remain entirely a matter of the guest's own taste and preference
Cucumber
The quintessential afternoon tea sandwich. Our cucumbers are grown locally at Beylik Family Farms in nearby Ventura, California. Served with horseradish, juniper and caraway on rye bread, the combination of crunch and water from the cucumber with the softness of the bread has made this sandwich a hit for centuries
Salmon
Delicately sliced Severn & Wye Smokery salmon is served on pumpernickel bread and flavored with dill and lemon butter. We selected our trusted supplier, an independent business based at Westburyon-Severn, because they smoke the salmon to a more generous depth of flavor
Coronation Chicken
A nod to the classic recipe created for Queen Elizabeth II's first coronation banquet. We begin with locally farmed roasted organic Jidori chicken and serve it with a creamy curry sauce, golden raisins and Fairhill Farms organic apples
Egg Salad
Inspired by Angelenos' obsession with Japanese-style egg sandwiches, this is an apt way to combine the tradition of afternoon tea service and timestamp it with a bit of LA at the moment
Ham
Our slow-roasted ham sandwich has a celeriac rémoulade and a delicate touch of truffle mayonnaise, served on classic white bread. Our team of Chefs searched high and low for the best quality ham, eventually choosing two producers from northern California. Their commitment to sourcing the highest quality product from local family farms and traditional recipes provides us these wonderfully textured meats, making the perfect sandwich
Scones
Our classic scone recipe is flavored with Tahitian vanilla and served with clotted cream and seasonal jam courtesy of Jessica Koslow from Sqirl in Silver Lake
