She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

The service was amazing, the person helping us did not rush us and was very helpful. We ordered 3 cupcakes, 1 brownie and 1 cheesecakes. The brownies were all very moist with the red velvet being our favorite. The s'mores brownie was chocolatey and full of flavor. Since we came after closing we did not get to see the ambiance but there were plenty of chairs and free wifi. We hope to be back again!

First time here and it's a really cute place . Not a lot of parking in front but quite a bit down…read morethe same road so easy , short walk . I ordered a caramel latte and a seasonal raspberry white mocha. I am an avid coffee chaser and unfortunately I was not impressed with the flavor . The caramel latter had hints of a flower taste , the raspberry was lost in the latte and I couldn't taste much espresso flavor . I took the lid off the raspberry white mocha latte and expected to see whip cream and a raspberry drizzle .. nope .. it all just looked mixed together . The upside was the lemon bar .. this was yummy ! But for $21 for two not so great lattes and a lemon bar .. I don't think I'll be back again for any lattes soon.. maybe just the desserts .

Going here has changed my view on High Tea. I live close to…read morehere, and walk Grand Avenue a lot, I pass by the Grand tea room, a lot and have never been. I can't say I had the interest in going, however that changed and my curiosity about what a High Tea was, and the crowds here at "Tea Time" left me wanting to try it out. This was not just Tea, this was a bounty of tea, they had so many different types and flavors of tea (40+) that you sort of want to try them all, while technically you can as the tea is unlimited, but trust me you won't as the two pots of tea you start with, is a lot of tea for two! Sure, in a larger group you can try a lot more, but it's still a lot of tea. The Grand Tea, High Tea option was what we went with, and you started with a soup, followed by a tiered selection of sandwiches, desserts and scones. I assumed that I would have a snack here and then get something else to actually eat but I was filled to the brim when I left here. This place was full to capacity when we went, but you did not feel encroached on, the owner Louisa, the servers, all amazing, welcoming and nice. I feel like I was a bit unprepared as everyone else was dressed up with little hats, and my wife and I had no little hats! Next time, I will 100% at least sport that little hat, and there will be a next time, absolutely great experience!

I went here a couple of weeks ago with my friends and we had a fantastic time!…read more It was a nice warm day and we scored parking up front to the left of the tea room. The outside of the structure was cute as well and I would like to experience that soon. When you walk inside, it's a store with cute tea related things. As you pass through that room, it opens up to the actual tea room and it's so delightful. There are European things on the wall and the walls are painted nicely. The tables are decorated nicely as well. You get a choice of which 2 teas and food you want. We tried a lunch like tea, a black tea, and I believe some type of raspberry tea. We had a Turkey cranberry sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, soup, delicious bread, and desserts. The food was tasty, but hard to eat all of it due to all the tea drinking. The tea pots are wonderful and the tiered serving trays are great. Even the utensils are fantastic that I want some at my house. They do offer events so you should check those out! I'll definitely come here again!!

They were such a good value because each dunk tank is about eight cups. The dunk tank requires a minimum of 4 people, so make sure to have your ids ready. We started with the Watermelon Mega Rita Dunk Tank: a mixture of Jose Cuervo Especial, orange liquor, watermelon puree, and sweet and sour. Then, we got the Mad Mai Tai Dunk Tank, which is made with Bacardi Coconut, Bacardi Silver, Blue Curacao, and pineapple juice. Our group's overall favorite was the Mad Mai Tai because the coconut flavor was delicious. We also ordered the Alley Sampler which was $35.99. This was quite filling because it came with fries, wings, chicken tenders, cheesy dippers, and pretzel dippers. It also automatically comes with four sauces. Bowling was also a lot of fun. Bowlero played a lot of music from the early 2000s ranging from RnB, pop, and rap. We thoroughly enjoyed the music while bowling, and I saw several customers also vibing to the music. I would definitely return in the future for another fun time.

Typically, there's a server who takes drink orders at the lanes, but I didn't see one this time. Instead, we had to go to the bar to place our orders.

Some of the shops are very cute . But they are kind of precious and not really something you would want to shop at unless you were buying a gift for somebody and don't mind overpaying.

Shera is experienced with doing weddings and knew had to direct them and had recommendations of vendors as well although I brought in my own mostly.
