By The Teashore

Step out of the modern world and into the bleak December of 1845 at By the Teashore.
From October 17 through November 1, our 1903 historic tea house surrenders its daylight to the shadows of Edgar Allan Poe. We invite you to ponder, weak and weary, over a dark and brooding experience. Our exclusive "Quoth the Raven Nevermore Terror Tea" service features an eerie array of midnight-hued bites, melancholy pastries and sandwiches, eerie desserts, and deeply aromatic loose-leaf botanicals. Beneath the weight of history and the watchful eye of the Raven, you’ll indulge in a feast designed for the brokenhearted, the literary eccentric, and the beautifully macabre. Reserve your seat before the final shadow lifts.
Visit ByTheTeashore.com for reservations. Seating is limited. Located at 724 Main Street, Half Moon Bay.&nbsp;
