Basically British Tea Room

The monthly menu for afternoon tea includes a four-cup pot of tea for each person, with the tea chosen from a collection of eighty-five or more varieties. We have selected teas we feel will be especially interesting, many of which have won international awards over the last few years. In addition, all the teas are available for purchase loose by the ounce at our tea bar in the main retail area.

Basically British is located in downtown Dayton in an old building known as The Cannery. In past years, the building was extensively remodeled to incorporate almost two hundred lofts, along with several retail establishments. The style of the building makes a particularly suitable setting for us: high ceilings, brick walls, elegant woodwork, attractive windows, hardwood floors, etc.

The menu for January is shown below. The price is $24.95 plus tax, which includes all the items on the list.
